We are in the process of renovating our Mosque and need approximately $400,000 to complete renovations. The renovations include adding a lift for our sisters especially the elderly who struggle climbing up the steps to get to the sisters prayer hall. As you can see from the photo gallery we have made significant progress in phase 1.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Every Muslim has to give in charity." The people then asked: "(But what) if someone has nothing to give, what should he do?" The Prophet replied: "He should work with his hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns)." The people further asked: "If he cannot find even that?" He replied: "He should help the needy who appeal for help." Then the people asked: "If he cannot do (even) that?" The Prophet said finally: "Then he should perform good deeds and keep away from evil deeds, and that will be regarded as charitable deeds." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Hadith 524
