New Doors Update: Alhamdulillah! 🚪 We've Made Incredible Progress! We’re excited to share that Phase 1 of the Masjid Renovation Project is nearing completion! The new modern glass doors have been successfully installed, enhancing the beauty, safety, and accessibility of our masjid. 💖 Thanks to your generous support, we’ve raised $12,000 out of our $16,000 goal. Help Us Cross the Finish Line! We need just $4,000 more to complete this phase. Your continued support will be a sadaqah jariyah (ongoing charity), ensuring our masjid remains a safe and welcoming space for all. 🕋 How to Donate: https://themasjidapp.org/iost/donations/2217 More Exciting Updates Coming Soon! This summer, we’ll be making even more upgrades to improve our facility. Be on the lookout for more changes as we continue to enhance our beloved masjid.
