وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَانًا ۖ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا ۖ وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
سورة الأحقاف - آية ١٥
"And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, 'My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims.'"

Al-Uloom Central Mosque

مشروع المسجد

Expanding Our Sacred Space for the Community

مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

"Whoever builds a mosque seeking Allah's pleasure, Allah will build for him a similar house in Paradise"

Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
The proposed design of the new Al-Uloom Central Mosque, corner view: a white building with arched openings and two minarets
How the new masjid will look: proposed design, corner view

Our Vision for the New Masjid

The Al-Uloom Central Mosque is an ambitious initiative to expand our current mosque facilities, creating a larger, more accommodating, and personally uplifting space for our growing community. Our vision is to build a masjid that not only serves as a place of worship but also as a vibrant center for education, community engagement, and personal development.

The expansion will include a larger prayer hall, dedicated spaces for women, enhanced ablution facilities, and additional classrooms for our Islamic studies programs. We aim to blend traditional Islamic architecture with modern amenities, ensuring comfort and functionality for all worshippers.

500+worshippers accommodated for daily prayers and special occasions
200+students in modern Islamic-studies classrooms

Why This Project Matters

  • Growing Community Needs: Our current facilities are becoming insufficient to accommodate the increasing number of worshippers and students.
  • Enhanced Learning Environment: New classrooms will allow us to expand our educational offerings and cater to more students.
  • Community Hub: The expanded masjid will serve as a central point for community gatherings, interfaith dialogues, and social services.
  • Spiritual Growth: A more spacious and beautiful environment will enhance the personal experience for all who visit.
