Our community faces a pivotal moment in Islamic education. Today, over 2,000 students eagerly wait for the opportunity to begin their educational journey with us – 2,000 young minds seeking to grow in both faith and knowledge. Each name on our waitlist represents not just a student, but a family's hope for their child to receive an education that honors their Islamic values while preparing them for the future.

These 2,000 students tell a powerful story:

• Parents who dream of their children learning in an environment that celebrates their faith
• Families who understand the importance of combining academic excellence with Islamic principles
• A community that has grown far beyond our current capacity to serve

The Impact of Limited Space: Every year, we face the heartbreaking task of turning away hundreds of families simply because we lack the physical space to welcome them. These are not just numbers – they are future leaders, scholars, and pillars of our community waiting for their chance to flourish.

Our Vision for Expansion: By expanding our campus, we can:

• Reduce our waitlist
• Create dedicated spaces for Islamic studies and prayer
• Strengthen our community's future by educating more of our youth in an Islamic environment

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." Our waitlist of 2,000 students represents 2,000 opportunities to fulfill this sacred obligation. But more than that, it represents 2,000 chances to strengthen our ummah, to build future leaders who are grounded in their faith, and to create lasting sadaqah jariyah (continuous charity) through education.

Your Support Matters: Every contribution towards our $15 million goal helps turn these 2,000 dreams into reality. By supporting our campus expansion, you're not just building classrooms – you're building the future of our community, one student at a time.

The Need is Immediate:

• Current facilities are at maximum capacity
• Families are relocating to be closer to Islamic education
• Community growth continues to increase demand
• Quality Islamic education remains a critical need

The funds will be used to pay off the due amount in September 2025, and the reminder will be put into commercial investment to provide a means for sustainable income stream. 

Jazakom Allahu khairan for your support.
