Urgent Appeal: Help Complete Masjid "Centro Islamico"

We need your help to complete this Masjid and Islamic Center by Ramadan!

Alhamdulillah, we were able to raise what we needed to purchase the property through your generous help.  However, we still need another $500,000 approximately to complete the Centro Islamico Masjid for us to pray in it and host Non-Muslims this Ramadan. Get the reward of all worshippers who pray there and all of those who may embrace Islam!

Currently, our community is without a center. We have already moved out of our previous rental location and although we have the building there, it's not quite ready for use by the community.  The building was previously an industrial building so it needs to be converted to a Masjid and Islamic Center. Most of our programs and services are have stopped. Our non-Muslim tours, production studio, weekly classes being streamed online, Islamic history museum tours.

In our previous rental location, we witnessed over 160 people embrace Islam in only three years. We serve hundreds of new Spanish speaking Muslim families in the city of Houston, Texas. We provide a welcoming environment for people to come to get to know one another, eat together, pray together, learn, teach and grow as individuals and as families while producing media that reaches 500+ Million worldwide.

IslamInSpanish is appealing to all Brothers and Sisters in Islam, locally and internationally to help and financially support the completion of the ONLY Mosque and Islamic Center in America that provides weekly Khutbas in the Spanish language and other ongoing educational programs, media production, and grassroots outreach.

We appreciate your dua and support.

Do You Want To Have A House Built In Jannah For You?

“Whoever Builds a Mosque For Allah, Allah will Reward them with a Palace in Paradise” - (Hadith Al-Bukhari)

This is an amazing opportunity. How often can you help build a piece of a house of Allah where thousands of people will pray for centuries inshaAllah and you get a share in that reward?  Everything they will learn here will be on your scale on that very important day.  When people accept Islam here, guess who will get a share of the reward and every good deed they go on to do?

WHO WE ARE?

We are a Latino Muslim Community led by Latino Muslim Leaders and Educators who have taken it upon ourselves to establish Islam among the Spanish speaking community in America and around the world. For the past near three years we were renting a unit which has been featured on many national and international mainstream media outlets. Over 160 people embraced Islam in our current facility in only three years and we now serve hundreds of new Spanish speaking Muslim families in the city of Houston, Texas. We provide a welcoming environment for people to come get to know one another, eat together, pray together, learn, teach and grow as individuals and as families. 

But we were told we must vacate the building since our lease has expired and now that we have an industrial building we need build it out even better than our previous rental facility.  After consulting many of the Muslim scholars and leaders in America who advise us for our 18 years, we were told that it's time to build a permanent center and then finally found the perfect building by the mercy of Allah.  Anyone who ever visits Houston is more than welcome to visit our Masjid and Islamic Center to see how we carry out our vision of transforming lives into productive global citizens collaborating for the common good of humanity!

What Do We Need?

We need your help! YOU have the ability to help us COMPLETE this Masjid. If just 5,000 Muslims donated $100 we would raise the money we need to acquire this masjid! 

There are 1.5 Billion Muslims.  Will you be one to help build the house of Allah?

What kind of Masjid?

Picture a full-packed masjid that offers services to cater to ONE and all…

We’re talking about Islamic programs in Spanish and English streamed online worldwide, educational classes, physical and social activities, youth development, faith, health, spiritual and relationship counseling. 

So far in three years our center:

_    Has had 160 people have accepted Islam
_    Includes a Museum that highlights the heritage of Muslim Spain (Andalucia)

_   We partner with universities, civic organizations, and the diverse leadership to bring awareness of who we are as Muslims and how we contribute to society

_    A Musallah where we stream weekly Spanish and English khutbahs worldwide into countries in Latin America where no mosques exist

_   We are the only Islamic Center that has a Spanish khutbah weekly in the US
_    A social lounge area where people drink coffee to ask their questions about Islam and enjoy an open home-felt welcoming environment
_    A state of the art production studio where we conduct high-level video production that is distributed worldwide to educate non-Muslims, new Muslims, develop leaders, and film documentaries to tell our story as Muslims in America.

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
_    
“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in Paradise.” [Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim]
_    
Please take part in building a house of Allah so that we may all be neighbors with houses of our own in Jannah Inshallah.

Who are we?

IslamInSpanish is an educational non-profit organization that was established out of the need to educate Latinos about Islam in the Spanish language worldwide after the devastating incident of 9/11. It is was founded by Jaime “Mujahid” Fletcher, a Colombian convert to Islam who’s need to share Islam with his father and family led to discover that there was no material in the Spanish language. After his father’s conversion 3 months later, both of them and his recently converted wife all worked together to bring about a balanced understanding of Islam within a culturally relevant manner which lead to the creation of the 1st cd produced entitled “La Religion de la Verdad” (The Religion of Truth) which became the means to his wife’s aunt embracing Islam before her death from Cancer.

On January 30^th, 2016 after 15 years of working out of many Masajid and traveling nationally in the U.S. and throughout Latin America; IslamInSpanish opened the 1^st-of-a-kind Spanish Speaking “Centro Islamico” in the city of Houston, Texas and in only 2.5 years 140 people have accepted Islam. Via its state-of-the-art Production Studio in 2018 in the month of Ramadan, our video production reached over 14 million people worldwide. IslamInSpanish has currently outgrown its current rental facility and has now acquired a 2-Acre Property with an existing 10,000 Square foot facility newly built 8 years ago. Our goal is to reach the 500+ Million Spanish-Speakers that exist worldwide. Today IslamInSpanish represents Muslims in the Spanish language by speaking on the mainstream media outlets such as CNN in Spanish, Univision, Telemundo and has been featured on NPR, The Guardian, L.A. Times, Al-Jazeera, and many other international channels worldwide.
