2017 Good Friday Weekend Fundraiser
April 16, 2017 - The first fundraiser for 2017 was hosted at the Masjid Noor ul-Islam. Allahumdullillah, the youth, and sister groups did an amazing job making all the arrangements for the event. Mashallah, the turnout was also better than expected. Many delicious foods like deep-fired chickens, papaya salad, noodle salad, chicken burger, Parata, samosa, and many more were prepared and sold at the event. This fundraiser certainly helps not only raise funding for the masjid construction but also promote unity in the community.
Phase Two Completed
Allahumdullillah, by the grace of Allah s/w, phase II of the construction was successfully completed as of November 2016. This addition includes a 64'x32' open space hall and a connector space between the existing prayer space. We have also added a new main entrance and modified the entry to the wudu area to give a quiet and isolated prayer space. This project cost nearly $300,000 and funding from individual donations and Interest-free loans were used toward this phase of the project. This new addition will be used for overflow prayer space, Quranic study classes, training, and workshop meeting space for all community need.
