Dear Brother/Sister:

Assalamu Alaykum  Wa Rahmatou Allah Wa Barakatohou,

All praises are due to Allah (SWT) for blessing us with Islam.

We are writing this letter to request your support to complete the construction of our Islamic Center located at Old Dominion University campus, (Norfolk, Virginia).  This will go a long way towards meeting our objectives for critically needed space for our Al-Iman Islamic school, community and social activities such as woman and children’s activities, and parking.

For your information, we have included in this package the front elevation and a view of interior design (with a flexible partition scheme) and pictures of the completed framing building and the pond work. Alhamdu-Lillah, after acquiring the land and various city permits, we completed architectural design, all engineering and site work including development of the pond, drainage, utility, initial plumbing, concrete, framing and preliminary parking lot for the expansion of the Islamic Center. This wok has been executed by WEB F&C Construction Co     (Mr Mohammed Ayedi, VP) working in collaboration with Acrefield Corp. (Mr. Ashraff Karim, President) both class A Commercial Contractors for this phase of the project.

In addition to the currently available funds ($70,000) in the MCT capital fund account we need an additional $90,000, right away, to complete phase 3 of the project. This phase will provide us with a secured building that will still require interior finish, furnishings and appliances. After this, we will need $150,000 to complete phases 4-6 to complete the entire building (doors and windows, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work).

May Allah’s blessings be with you as the Prophet Mohammed (SAW) has said, “whoever builds a Masjid, even to the extent of a brick or lesser, Allah will build for him a house in Jannah”. We seek your generous donations. To facilitate your contributions we have included a contribution form. You can mail your contribution or we can arrange to collect it from you.

Wassalam, Azizur R. Khawaja

President, MCT
