(01) About ‘Rahmah Islamic Centre’

Alhumdulilah the Muslim Community in the city of Burlington is continuing to grow, with an estimated Muslim community of 5,000 individuals. As such the Halton Islamic Association needs to grow to accommodate the needs of the community. Our current Masjid has a capacity of 250 Musaleen, we currently serve over 1500 Musaleen every Jumu’ah by holding multiple Jumu’ah prayers and renting facilities to accommodate the numbers. Because of our limited space, all of our programs have a long waiting list, especially for our Children and youth Quran classes.

Alhumdulilah, we have purchased 4.1 acres of land in the North of Burlington, that is 4 times the size of our current Masjid land. We have completed all of the necessary city applications and obtained our building permit to construct an Islamic Centre. Alhumdulillah the construction started on Dec. 1st, 2023

The new centre will in’sha’Allah be called The ‘Rahmah Islamic Centre’ ( مسجد الرحمة ) and it will in’sha’Allah house a large prayer hall with a capacity of 700 Musaleen, a large parking lot with 260 parking spots. A school with 12 classrooms, a large gym for our youth activities, a banquet hall for our community gatherings as well as outside play areas and courts.

Alhumdulillah the land is strategically located within walking distance of where we are seeing the largest growth of the Muslim population. This will in’sha’Allah enable our visitors to walk to the centre and actively participate in our daily activities.

In’sha’Allah, we are planning to build the Rahmah Center in 2 phases to manage the cost with a total estimated cost of $14M. The estimated cost of Phase 1 (Building Envelope) is $9M. The estimated cost of Phase 2 (Interior finishes) is $5M

Alhumdulilah as of December 2023, we have raised $3.6M towards the necessary funds for the project and we have pledges from our community for $2M.

We ask Allah (swt.) to accept our efforts and enable us to build the Rahmah Islamic Centre in the near future.

We encourage you to review the project’s latest Drawings here and to Donate Generously.
