Old Library Also Declined and Demolished
We next pursued the town's old library as a possible home for the masjid. That request was declined in early May, and the building was demolished later in the month. These setbacks have not slowed us. Every donation is held ready so our community can act quickly when the right building comes, inshaa' Allah.
First Building Withdrawn from Sale
After months of effort, the owners of the building we had hoped to purchase decided not to sell and have since begun demolishing it. We are grateful for everyone's patience and duaa. Our fund remains fully active for the next suitable building, inshaa' Allah.

Begin Masjid Campaign (Purchase Building)
Today we are officially beginning our campaign to raise $250k for purchasing a ready-to-go property for our community. We have the full support of the masjids in neighboring cities (Erie and Cleveland) but need support from everyone to make this dream a reality, inshaa' Allah.
Started services for local prison

Started plan for local masjid
