The Project

Assalamu alaikum!

Three Ramadan’s prior, we began raising funds to establish the first youth led masjid in Connecticut. Over the last few years, we’ve collected $100,000+ with your support. Alhamdulillah, every penny of that money has been put into the construction of this project. We are close to achieving the vision we have, yet we are quite hindered until all renovations are complete. We believe this project will, by the permission of Allah, be a source of guidance for the Muslim community and will especially target young adults. Our objective is to not only provide prayer and khutbah services, but also to be a center for imparting the traditional Islamic sciences such as fiqh, tazkiyyah, aqeedah, etc., in sha Allah.

Our Mission: Masajid are the heart and soul of a Muslim community. However, Islamic centers and Masajid across the U.S. that are directly run by youth are a rarity. We truly believe the way forward is to have youth, who are traditionally trained in the Islamic sciences, and are cognizant of the challenges that our generation faces, at the forefront of our Masajid. This is precisely the vision we have for this project. It is what we like to describe – “The first youth led masjid in the state of Connecticut”. This is of course with the guidance of our mentors like Imam Zaid Shakir and others who paved the path for many years.

Previously, we collected $100,000+ with your support. Alhamdulillah, every penny of that money has been put into the construction of this project. We’ve completed  the architect plans, installing 3 phase electricity, rough plumbing, rough heating and cooling system, radiant floor heating, concrete, and framing. We are close to achieving the vision we have, yet are quite hindered until all renovations are complete. See below for more details:
