On Saturdays the lecture will be a youth directed lecture from a visiting scholar.

As you know the masjid still has expenses – including Imams’ salaries and maintenance costs and there is no weekly income from congregational prayers. Please consider giving early and generously to the masjid.
VIRTUAL MASJID FUNDRAISER – SATURDAY MAY 16th – Please donate throughout the month so that we can make our Ramadan goal of $100,000. This is the month when the prophet was most generous – let us follow this sunnah as well.
There is a huge need at present and if you would like to donate to the poor – please donate below. Zakatul Fitr/Fitrana is $10 per person in each household – consider giving more this year due to the real need for assistance in the community at present.
