“Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it.” – Sahih Muslim

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ فَلَهُ مثل أجر فَاعله» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

THE PRESENT SITUATION

While we work on renovating the 805 Cedar Avenue property and obtaining the necessary town permits, we are currently renting a temporary space at the Veterans of Foreign Wars building in Secaucus for Friday and Ramadan prayers through His blessing and mercy. Alhamdulillah, we are at/overcapacity most Fridays and during Ramadan. The storage, set-up and takedown of the carpets and other arrangements would not be possible without the considerable effort of our dedicated volunteers, as depicted below. Parking is limited given the growing size of our congregation, which is an additional consideration for the permanent space we have purchased at 805 Cedar Avenue Masha'Allah.

THE 805 CEDAR AVENUE MASJID PROJECT

Through the grace, mercy and blessing of Allah, we have closed on the first masjid in Secaucus at 805 Cedar Avenue with halal financing. However, a sizable amount of the purchase price is outstanding ($452,000) along with significant costs for renovations and town permits. Funds raised through our fundraising campaign will be applied towards the remainder of the purchase price ($452,000) with the remainder being used for renovations and permits to ensure compliance with town regulations. Additional funds are being raised through a combination of private donations and qard hasan.

The 805 Cedar Avenue masjid will enable, with His permission:

• Daily prayers
• Friday prayers
• Halaqas, workshops and panels
• Youth programs
• Kids activities
• Community social events
• A place to provide much-needed services for the community
• And much more insha'Allah!

﴿مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ وَلَهُ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ﴾

Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward? [Quran 57:11 ]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (continuing charity), knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him” [Muslim]
