“Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like the one who did it.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
This campaign will collect all funds raised by January 30, 2018 at 11:45 PM EST
https://www.facebook.com/AlkebulanCommunityLLC/?fref=ts
We at Alkebulan Community are building a Muslim community, so we can control our own resources and empower ourselves through farming, and not be dependent on a non-Muslim society for our everyday needs. Here we will grow and raise Halal foods, have our own school, offer free medical care to those who need it, employ and house Muslim families in need, and most of all we will be able to feed Muslims all over with Muslim grown foods.
Alkebulan Community was founded with the idea of really helping and offering a Halal resource for those who want it. We always wagnt to help the struggling and oppressed Muslims around the world, (may Allah reward those who help) but we forget to help our neighbors right here in our own country. There are many Muslim sisters who are living in their cars with their children, many Muslim men struggling hard to feed their families, many Muslims who need healthcare and Muslim based education. We at Alkebulan Community want to offer this as a free resource.
It has been a long process so far. We have been building for the past 2 years now. We have had many hardships and Allah has blessed us greatly through them. We have 10 acres of raw land that we are working hard to clear and develop. Its A lot of hard work with only 3 brothers and very limited resources. Insha Allah we can get the Ummah involved and get this community built by the end of next year.
We just finished phase one of the campaign and raised nearly $8,000 Allahu Akbar. The vast majority of phase ones funds went to the well which was $5100. The rest went to the generators and solar panels for our power source.
Phase two of the campaign:
This phase of our campaign is all about housing and mass clearing the land. We are doing off the grid housing. We tried to build from scratch and it did not turn out the best. But Alhamdulilah we learned a lot from the experience and realized the importance of offering families a well built solid structure to live in.
We have found some really huge sheds that can easily be turned into a home if we put two or three of them together. The plan is to buy several of these sheds connect them together and furnish them so they are a comfortable off the grid housing option. We will install everything in them so everything needed to live is available.
Mass Clearing:
Overgrowth is a constant issue. Even more so since we have no one on the land living there right now. We have been clearing it bit by bit. But now it's time to rent the heavy equipment and mass clear the land so we can quickly get the housing area set up and plant some more fields.once we clear it we will lay the foundations for the housing and salt the area so nothing else grows there any time soon.
Fencing:
We are also looking into putting a fence around the property and paving the road with gravel. The fence will clearly mark the limits of the property and add security. Paving the road with gravel is also a security measure gravel makes noise when it driven on so it's impossible to drive on the property without being heard. Also the current road is in a very bad state and can be hazardous to vehicles if not careful.
Transportation:
We have found one of the biggest obsticles with families on the property is a lack of working transportation. We have a contact who will sell a really nice used van for great price. We want to purchase this van and turn it into a community van. So the families on the property can have a reliable source of transportation for supply runs into the city and medical emergencies.
Help us get this community built.

Fencing
Salaam wualykum Brothers and sisters. Insha Allah you are having a blessed and fullfilling day. We have 26 rolls of 100ft wire fencing sitting in my basement but lack the funding to transport it and install it on the community land. we need to raise $1500 for this but we can make it happen with $1000. i will just have to take two trips. the community land is 700 miles from my home in ohio. with $1000 in donations I will drive a total of 2800 miles to get all the fencing on the land and get it installed. with $1500 I can rent a hitch to the back of the van and put the other half of the fencing on it so we can get all the fencing to the community in one trip. If you are able to give and share Masha Allah. if not may Allah reward your intention as if you did :)
Less than 2 months to go
Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
we have 51 days left to raise the rest of these funds. we have to kick into overdrive and get it done. this is the last leg of the community building process. we got the fencing Alhamdulilah. now we need the road and the housing. help us help the ummah in need. continue to share, and donate. even if its just $10 a week it goes a long way. we plan on holding a event in feb 2018 to show cash all we have built. Insha Allah we can reach our funding goal and make this happen. you all are invited. :) we need your help to get there though and we still have a long way to go. share share share and give what you can.
As always may Allah bless and reward you. If you want to donate but cant may Allah bless your intention as if you did give.
Alkebulan Community
Salaam wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
Insha Allah all is well with you and your families, If you are going through a hardship I pray Allah bring you through it with ease and many blessings. I am updating today because we have decided to change some plans as far as the road paving is concerned. Donations have not been coming in as we had expected but Alhamdulilah for any and everything we are getting in. so we thought it would be more cost efficient now and in the long term to buy a wood chipper for around $500 and use the many trees we have on the land to chip and pave the road with a mixture of wood chips, dirt, and random flat rocks that can be found on the property. this way if a heavy rain falls and we lose some of the road we can easily replace it by cutting down a tree and chipping it.
We want to buy an big shed to use as a office and base of operations on the property. our goal is to be able to live stream and upload directly from community. we can have some one on the land who is responsible for daily updates, videos, and pictures. lastly we have all the fencing but have not yet gotten the funding to transport it from my home in ohio to the community in GA. it will take us two trips unless I rent a hitch so I can haul the rest with. we are looking to raise $1500 for that. that is transportation and labor. we have a brother down in Augusta GA who is in need of work and insha Allah we can employ him to help with the work. Insha Allah this could also be a blessing upon him and his family. this is the current state of operations right now.
If you are able to contribute more to this efforts Alhamdulilah. If not then I pray Allah reward your intention as if you did contribute again. as always may Allah bless and keep you all close to him.
Salaam Wualykum
dear brothers and sisters,
forgive me for not updating in a while. I took a personal trip with my wife and kids to detroit. I live in ohio so its only a 3 hour drive. we normally go there every 3 months or so to stack up on Halal meats. the price for halal meats in ohio is nearly 3x the cost of what it is in detroit. we normally go to Saads wholesale meats. very nice brothers and sisters there Alhamdulilah. while I am out there we visit friends and family. to make all the rounds and stops take nearly a week. we stop to support many muslim owned stores and business. speaking of which while I was on the trip I bought decided to buy a couple of things for the community. I was not able to raise the funds for the wind turbine so Allah blessed me with another way of getting it Alhamdulilah. Allah is truly kind. So i got one of the wind turbines and a small solar panel.
our goal is to have a off the grid power source of 10 of these wind turbines. and 10 150 watt solar panel kits. with a battery bank of at least 50 40amp hour solar batteries. the solar panel in the picture is a much weaker one. I got this one because a sister who is coming onto the property said she needed something to keep her phones and laptops charged, also to have some lighting during the night. Insha Allah this is sufficient. If not I will install the first wind turbine and see how it works.
we are now on milestone two in this campaign. we need to raise $2000 more bringing the total to $4000 so we can pave the road and make office on the property. please continue to share and donate as always thank you and may Allah bless and reward you
Alkebulan Community
Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
One of the things we wanted to get for this project is scarce and will soon be out of stock in our area. we wanted to get this huge barn shed and use it as a office or base of operations if you will. we will do all of our day to day business out of this shed. from live streaming to organizing, and reaching out to those in need. This was in our 2nd milestone of this campaign. we were going to buy this and buy the gravel for road. Insha Allah we can raise the funds for this in the next couple of days. if not Alhamdulilah. Allah will provide another Insha Allah. if any one has any questions or concerns feel free to call or text me on our community line at 614 400 5940
Purchasing Update
Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
Todays update is to keep you updated when we spend some or all of the funds that you generously donated. As I stated in another updated that today i would go buy the fencing and this is what I was able to do today Alhamdulilah. here are some pictures and video of the fencing below
https://www.facebook.com/jeshiem.alamin/videos/1711313988899742/
the purchase of the fencing depleted the funds we raised so far. 26 rolls of this wire fence cost nearly $1900 it actually went over what we had left after buying the power tools. But alhamdulilah we got it thanks to Allah and your generous donations.
https://www.facebook.com/jeshiem.alamin/videos/1711293098901831/
our next milestone is raising $2000 more which would bring the campaign to $4000 in total raised. once we get that I will buy the gravel needed to pave the road and buy a big shed that we will turn into a office on the land for live streaming and day to to business.
While I was at menards I saw these wind turbines for $500 each, these will be be a great source of non-stop power for the community. One of these coupled with a decent sized battery bank could keep 1 home fully powered we can supplement any extra power with a gas generator or a small solar panel kit. the wind turbines generate power day and nigh. its windy in georgia and on the land so this would be a great need for the community.
continue to share and donate. thanks to you we are able to get theses things and build this community. May Allah bless and reward you.
Housing area in need of repairs and clearing
Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
one of the housing homesteads was abandoned abruptly and the winds from the recent storms have nearly destroyed one of the cabins built on this particular homestead. the area was left to overgrowth and the crops that were growing on it just a couple of months ago are destroyed. we were going to move a family into this area but now we cannot while its in this state. here is a video of it below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0luPRxpu2I&feature=youtu.be
If you are able to give to repair this homestead on the property the family would be able to move in and leave the shelter they are currently in. Once on Alkebulan Community they will be in charge of the half acre they are on and will clear, plant, and maintain some live stock on that acre.
as always may Allah bless and reward you all :)
How the funds of our first milestone will be spent
Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
we have reached our first funding milestone of our new campaign Alhamdulilah.
As stated in a earlier post I went out and purchased 2 brush cutting power tools to may clearing the land very easy. Come monday or some time this coming week I plan on spending the rest of the funds we have raised so far on the fencing. based upon the math of 10 acres to cover the perimeter of the land we will need to buy 26 rolls of 100ft wire farm fencing. as the picture below shows they are around $70 per 100ft roll.
so if I have done my math correctly then that is $1820 spent and will essentially be the remaining funds after we purchased the power tools earlier. so that will complete our first milestone in this new campaign.
Our next milestone is to raise $2000 more bringing our new campaign to a total of $4000 raised. once we reach that milestone we will start paving the goad with gravel to make it less hazardous to drive upon and build a office on the land for day to day operations. We rely on you to help get this built for the ummah. If you are able continue to share and donate. May Allah bless and reward you.
I want to share a picture of our cotton fields that was cleared and planted because of your donations.
Alkebulan Community
Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters
Alhamdulilah we have reached our first funding milestone in our new campaign
As stated in a earlier update as soon as we reached $2000 I would go buy the stuff to to start clearing my land. we bought 2 of these in the picture with saw blade attachments to chop through brush. I am going to buy the fencing stuff on monday Insha Allah.
With this brush cutting tool myself and my wife can clear an acre of land in a day then spend the next day bag and trashing the brush. we may even through the brush in a pit and do a controlled burn of it.
After we reach our next milestone of $4000 we plan on paving the road with gravel and setting up a office on the land for every day Community business, we want to buy these sheds in the video posted below to make that happen.

Keep sharing and donating. without your support we would not be able to make anyway on this project. May Allah bless and reward you all. Before I go here is an update on the families we were hosting. they were fleeing from Hurricane Irma and asked us for help of course as Muslims we could not turn them away. the larger family is already headed back home to florida. one of our community member is driving them back as we speak. the other will be heading back on monday Another member of the community will drive them. thanks to your donations we were able to help, feed,cloths, and shelter them. Allah is truly kind :)
Hurricanes
Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
we have been sheltering two families that needed some help escaping Hurricane irma in florida. They were sleeping in our big cabin tent that we use as a masjid. The storm has moved into the Atlanta area and the effects of it can be felt even as far out as we are in bartow. the winds picked up a lot. even though they were not really bad but it made it very uncomfortable for them while they were staying in a tent. we got them hotel rooms for the week. We had to use some of the building funds we raised to help these families in need. they had lost everything. All they had was the cloths on their backs. Being the Muslims we are we could not stand idle and not help people who were suffering. This is the foundation of this community we are building, We strive to help those in need. mostly among the ummah but we will not turn anyone away.
If you are able to contribute to donate it would help us greatly to recoup what we spent in helping these families.
As always may Allah bless and reward you. If you want to give but cant may Allah bless your intentions as if you did.
We are near our first campaign milestone

Salaam Wualykum dear brothers and sisters,
We are $300 away from reaching our first milestone in our new launchgood campaign for the farming community that we are building.
https://www.launchgood.com/project/help_us_build_a_muslim_farming_community#!/
Once we reach $2000 raised we will buy the power tools needed to mass clear and get started on the fence around the property. the power tool we are going to use to mass clear the brush is essentially a weed wacker with a saw blade attachment. its a pretty awesome tool and makes clearing brush very easy.
This is a make shift gate we put up a acre into the property. this gate blocks the road to the housing area. as you can see its massively overgrown everywhere. Ill post a video of it as well so you all can get a better view of the over growth that needs to be cleared before we can build anything else.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeRgOqCqbZI
once we reach $4000 raised we will buy the gravel and start to gravel 10 acres worth of road. the road is very raw and can be hazardous to vehicles. the road as it is makes it very difficult to bring heavy equipment and trucks onto the property to do any work.
This picture of the road above does not show how bad the road is but it does show some of the massive overgrowth. I am going to post a video below which shows me trying to repair a portion of a road that is the most damaged.
