Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
On behalf of the Athens Islamic Community Center (AICC), we extend our heartfelt gratitude to every member of our community who joined us for the Iftaar gathering on March 7th. Your presence brought warmth, unity, and barakah to a beautiful evening shared by more than 250 brothers, sisters, families, and children.
Although this was not a fundraising event, your generosity and love for the House of Allah shined through. Alhamdulillah, the community contributed approximately $25,000 toward the construction of our new Masjid. Your support reflects the deep commitment our community has for establishing a permanent spiritual home in Athens—a place for prayer, learning, service, and future generations.
A Special Acknowledgment
We also extend a profound and heartfelt thank you to our Board of Trustees, whose unwavering dedication and extraordinary generosity have been the backbone of this project. Collectively, the Board has contributed more than $750,000 out of the $900,000 raised so far, and has further pledged an additional $400,000 toward the completion of the new Masjid. Their sacrifice, leadership, and vision embody true service to the community and stand as an inspiration for all of us.
May Allah reward them abundantly, multiply every dollar they have given, and make it a source of continuous sadaqah jariyah for them and their families.
Project Status & Financial Overview
The total construction estimate for the new AICC Masjid is $3.8 million.
So far:
• Approximately $400,000 has already been spent on construction and site development.
• $500,000 remains in the bank.
• $400,000 is pledged by the Board toward upcoming phases.
With your continued support, Insha Allah, we will keep moving forward with strength and unity.
Looking Ahead
As construction progresses, we will continue to share updates with the community. You can follow the latest developments at:

In sha Allah, we intend to hold formal fundraising events in the near future, aligned with each phase of the construction. We look forward to your ongoing support as we work together to complete this blessed project.
If you wish to donate during Ramadan to seek the maximum reward, you may do so using the donation link on our website. However, we will also need your generous support in the coming months, In sha Allah, so that together we can celebrate next Ramadan in both of our masajid.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan for standing with us, believing in this vision, and helping bring the Athens Islamic Community Center closer to reality.
With gratitude and prayers,
AICC Board of Trustees
