Building a Future: Join Us in Establishing a Masjid in Southeast Calgary
As-salamu alaikum brothers and sisters,
As our Southeast community continues to grow, it is more evident than ever before that we need to have a place where we can come together and worship. We're excited to announce that we're in the process of purchasing a church building in the Fairview area of the SE that will be the first masjid for the Southeast community.
We need your support to ensure that the masjid is equipped and ready for use. We're inviting everyone to join us in this effort by donating, no matter how large or small are your contributions. It may sound like a big goal to raise $2,625,000 (2.62 Million) to meet the closing date of Thursday, May 25, 2023. But together with the blessings of Allah we can do it. In-sha’Allah.
Donating to this cause is not just an act of generosity, it's an investment in our community. Your contributions will help build a place where we can come together to pray, learn, and grow as a community. It will also provide a space for future generations to continue connecting with their deen and remember their Creator.
We've created an online fundraiser to make it easy for you to donate and share this cause with your network. Please visit https://iisc.ca to make your contribution.
We believe that we can make this masjid a reality together. Your support will make all the difference.
Thank you for your generosity and for participating in making this a reality!
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise'.
[Bukhari]
With gratitude,
Islamic Information Society of Calgary (IISC)
