expansion project
Alhamdulillah!
The Muslim community in Charleston is expanding. Since the construction
of the Center in 1987, the number of Muslim families in the area has more than
doubled and we have outgrown the facilities of the Islamic Center.
During the last two Eids and Ramadan, there was not enough seating for
everyone in community hall downstairs. In
addition, parking shortages have become a normal occurrence every Friday and
Sunday.
To
solve these problems and to attract youth and new members to the Center, we are
building an addition that will provide the following benefits:
-
More
than double the size of the community hall with separate serving lines for
men and women
-
Additional
parking for 80 to 100 cars
-
Overflow
prayer hall that will double as a recreational area/basketball court to
attract youth and new members
-
An elevator for the elderly and handicapped
-
Provide
nine permanent classrooms for the Sunday School
Please
help us raise funds for this project that will
benefit the entire community.
The cost estimate for this project is $870,000.
Construction
Phases
With
your financial help and support, we plan to complete the project in three phases
as follows:
-
Phase
I – Construct the entire shell and build a new parking lot.
-
Phase
II – Finish the lower level, including the hall, kitchen, and permanent
classrooms for Sunday School.
-
Phase
III – Finish the upper hall expansion that will double as basketball
court, elevator/minaret and a lounge.
It’s
Your Center, Donate
Allah
Subhana Wa’taala says in Surah “At-Tauba” verse 18:
“The
mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and
the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practice regular charity, and fear
none (at all) except Allah. It is
they who are expected to be on true guidance.”
Be
one of those who visit and maintain mosques of Allah.
Donate generously and gain His favor (Inshallah).
This is one donation that will continue to generate blessings for you (Sadaqah Jariyah).
