For years, our community has grown steadily in Brentwood, California. What began as a small gathering of faithful families has blossomed into a vibrant, thriving Muslim community that continues to expand with each passing month. Our bonds have strengthened through shared prayers, celebrations, and mutual support.

Right now, our brothers and sisters have no choice but to pray outdoors—unprotected from the elements, at the mercy of the weather.

In the rain. In the bitter winter cold. In the scorching summer heat.

Families bring their young children and stand outdoors because there is simply no more room inside our current facility. Jumu'ah prayers overflow has become the norm, with rows extending far beyond our walls. Our respected elders stand in harsh weather conditions that challenge their health and comfort. Parking has become increasingly difficult, forcing families to walk long distances. Parents struggle to find safe spaces for their children during services.

This situation is long overdue for a solution. Our community deserves better. Our faith deserves a proper home.

We need a permanent home—a dignified space where our community can worship, learn, and grow together for generations to come.

This project is currently in the conceptual stage. The drawings we have today represent a vision of what the masjid can become, not finalized construction documents. All figures below are planning estimates based on early consultant discussions and prior experience — not final bids and not city-approved numbers.

In order to determine a precise, per-penny construction cost, we must first complete the full plans and permitting process. Only after plans are engineered, reviewed, revised, and approved by the County and Building Department can an accurate construction takeoff be produced.

This is a multi-phase development project. We cannot responsibly promise exact final numbers or exact completion dates until engineering and approvals are complete. Our commitment is to move forward carefully, responsibly, and transparently — so that when the masjid is built, it is built with trust, clarity, and community confidence at every stage.

This masjid will be more than a building — it will be a living legacy, Insha'Allah. A place where our children grow up rooted in faith, where lifelong friendships are forged, where marriages are blessed, where knowledge is passed from one generation to the next, and where our community returns again and again to find strength, peace, and belonging.

We have developed a clear, achievable plan that distributes this blessed responsibility across our community. We are seeking 500 beautiful souls who will become founding supporters of this historic project by committing to a structured giving plan.

That is on average $500 per month—less than many families spend on dining out, entertainment, or other discretionary expenses. When we redirect a portion of our blessings toward building Allah's house, the impact is transformative.

If 500 fortunate brothers and sisters step forward with conviction and commitment, we build momentum immediately. Construction can begin. Plans can be finalized. Our community can see tangible progress.

This is achievable. This is organized. This is powerful. This is how communities across America have built hundreds of successful Islamic centers—through collective action and sustained commitment.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us: "When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them." (Sahih Muslim)

Every prayer made in this masjid. Every child who learns Qur'an within these walls. Every Ramadan night of Taraweeh. Every Janazah prayer offered with dignity. Every Nikah conducted. Every conflict resolved through Islamic mediation. Every convert who takes Shahadah.

You can formally dedicate your contribution as ongoing charity in the name of anyone you choose. Their name will be honored, and most importantly, they will receive the continuous reward of every good deed facilitated by this Islamic center.

Every masjid that stands today—from the grand Islamic centers in major cities to the humble prayer spaces in small towns—was built because people stepped forward when it mattered. Because believers recognized a moment of need and rose to meet it with faith, courage, and financial sacrifice.

Now it is our turn. This is our moment. This is our test and our opportunity.

The question is not whether we need this masjid—we clearly do. The question is: Will you be among those who answer the call? Will you be counted among the 500 fortunate beautiful souls whose names will be associated with every prayer, every lesson, every positive impact this center generates?

Let us not delay what is already long overdue. Let us not leave for tomorrow what Allah has blessed us to accomplish today. Our children are watching. Our community is waiting. The reward is immeasurable.

We invite you to join this blessed effort as a supporter. Your commitment of $6000 this year and again next year will help establish a permanent house of Allah in Brentwood—a legacy that will benefit countless souls and earn you continuous rewards.

Step forward with faith. Trust in Allah's promise: "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain that sprouts seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies the reward for whom He wills." (Qur'an 2:261)
