About Us

The Islamic Society of Greater Lowell (ISGL) was established back in 1992 to grant Muslims in Greater Boston the freedom to practice their religion and fulfill their religious obligations. Being one of the very first masajid to be established in Massachusetts, ISGL has come a long way since its inception. As the community has grown, so too have our needs and requirements. Due to the small size of our current facility, we are unable to accommodate one jumuah congregation. Instead, each week we host two Jumuah (Friday) congregations with an attendance of over 500 people. On the day of Eid, our attendance exceeds 1500 people and requires us to rent a hall to accommodate the large congregation. Additionally, our weekly Sunday school classes have exceeded their capacity of 200 students. Based on all of these factors, ISGL has been a prime candidate to move to a larger, more spacious facility.

A Blessing in Disguise

At the beginning of Ramadan, the ISGL Board of Directors identified and signed the purchase and sales agreement for a 27,000 sq. ft. facility that is a 3 minute drive from our current location. In addition to being a full fledged masjid, the new facility will act as a community center for the Muslims in and around the Chelmsford and Greater Lowell areas. With a purchase price of $1.7 million, our goal has been to raise at least $2 million, factoring in renovation and other re-purposing costs. With the  support from our community, we have been able to raise upwards of $350k towards this new project. This is in addition to the $330k that we have saved up over the years in our new building fund. Our current building is estimated at $500k which brings us to a total of approximately $1.2 million which we can put towards the purchase of the new masjid. In addition to the remaining $500k that we hope to raise for the purchase of the new facility, the goal of this crowdfunding campaign is to help us raise $300k to help us cover our moving and renovation expenses. This is where we need your help!
