If you have been to the mosque recently you will see all of our progress. We have done significant renovations thanks to your donations. We are now in a position where we need to expand our building to accommodate to influx of visitors. We plan to extend the upper floor which will allow us to keep the parking and give more room for our congregants. This project is in it's early phase and will need over $1.5 million to complete.
Donations can be mailed directly to the mosque The Bronx Islamic Society
1726 East 172nd Street Bronx, N.Y. 10472. If you have any questions please reach out to President Karim Baksh: 1(646)226-4913
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
Hadith No: 522
