Dear respected Brothers & Sisters,
As Salaamu ‘Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

All praise is due to Allah (SWT) who is the Most Kind and Merciful. Through Allah’s bounty first and your generous donations and sacrifices since 1998 our Muslim community has grown from a small group praying in the classrooms of FAU to a large congregation and an Islamic Center that spans over 7 acres.
Al Hamdulillah, we were able to purchase 3.3 acres parcel of land for our Masjid and finish the initial phase of construction, which included the underground preparation, parking lot and some landscaping. Currently we are In the last stages of the Masjid shell construction With Allah grace, we were also able to secure the school next to our Masjid land, making Garden of the Sahaba Academy (GSA) the only fulltime Islamic school in Palm Beach County offering classes from Pre-School to 8th grade. The Masjid land is fully paid for while the school property is under a lease to own contract. The magnitude of these blessings cannot be emphasized enough. Masha’Allah our children’s faces shine with light as they recite Qur’an and learn Islamic values daily.
With your continued support, we can Insha’Allah complete the acquisition of the school property and the construction of the permanent Masjid, where we can unite in worship, seek knowledge and bow down together in prayer.


Our beloved Prophet said:
“"If one gives in charity what equals one date-fruit from honest-earning - and Allah accepts none but honest earning - Allah takes it in His right (Hand) and then grows it for the giver, as one of you raises up his baby horse, so much so that it becomes as big as a mountain." (Bukhari)

Dear supporters, we urgently need your contributions to keep the construction project moving. The estimated cost for the completion of the 20,000 Masjid building is 1 million dollar, and its completion is dependant on every one of us. Every dollar you donate makes a difference, and will reap endless benefits for our community, future generations, and for the hereafter, Insha’Allah.



The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever builds a Masjid for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Jannah.”
By Allah’s Mercy we have been granted another year month, and are given the opportunity to increase our good deeds in the shade of Allah’s protection. Let us reflect on the virtues and benefits of Sadaqa, and our obligation to pay the Zakat. According to respected scholars, donations towards building a Masjid in the West counts as one way to pay your Zakat. Consider giving your Zakat for this cause, and make this means of purification a lasting contribution to our community.
May Allah accept your good deeds and reward you abundantly for all of your efforts. May Allah guide us all towards success in attaining Jannah, Ameen
