Phase Three Construction

 

BUILDING A MASJID, BUILDING A COMMUNITY

 

The reward for building a Masjid


“Whatever good you send before you, you will certainly find it with Allah (swt) better and greater in reward” – Quran

Background

The New Masjid Project of Islamic Center of McLean County was inspired in 2014 to bring two small Islamic Centers located in the Bloomington/Normal area together under one roof.

Construction Status and Next Steps

Phase 1 COMPLETED:

Alhamdulillah ICMC purchased 5.89 acres of land in the spring of 2016 for just over $300,000. The majority of these funds were collected from within the community.

Phase 2 – COMPLETED:

Built a multipurpose hall to accommodate prayers, educational classes, and social gatherings. The cost of this phase was over $800,000 which were collected with the help of local and outside fund raising efforts. The multi-purpose hall was completed in spring of 2018.

Phase 3 & Beyond –IN PROGRESS:

CONSTRUCTION OF A MASJID: AlhamduLillah, we started phase 3 of our project last year.  The total cost of the project is expected to be over 4 million dollars. We have cash and pledges for one million and we would need to raise 3 million more to complete phase 3 construction .

We received approvals from the City of Bloomington authorities and received a building permit for the construction. We are about to finalize the general contractor and hope to break ground this year InshaAllah by the grace and Mercy of Allah azzawajal. We ask Allah azzawajal to remove all obstacles and make the process smooth and on time.

Allah SWT says in the Quran,

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُ ۚ وَمَا أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ – 34:39

Say, “ Surely, my Lord extends provision for whomsoever He wills, and straitens (it) for him. And whatever thing you spend, He replaces it, and He is the best of the sustainers

In the books of Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, our beloved Messenger of Allah, Muhammad  ﷺ‎ is narrated by Uthman bin Affa’an, to have said:

عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَهُ

Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.
