This Saturday morning, enjoy the video clip and see where we began, and how far Allah has brought us, through your generosity, unity, and love for this community.

After years of uncertainties, zoning hearings, and emotional town halls, Alhumdulillah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala has brought us to a moment that truly feels historic and He did it through you all, HE chose this community.

This upcoming fundraiser is not just another event. It is the one that is progressing towards the final major milestone, the fundraiser that will, complete the ILC, In Shaa Allah!

What we see today carries years of duas, sleepless nights, volunteer hours, sacrifices, and unwavering faith. We are blessed beyond words, and our hearts overflow with gratitude to Allah for allowing us to witness this day. May He grant us the honor of entering this ILC together very soon, praying the first Salah side by side, and raising our future generations here with strong Emaan.

As we celebrate and progressing towards the completion, let us remember those beloved community members who dreamed of this moment with us but are no longer with us, but their duas and contributions helped us reach here. May Allah grant them Jannatul Firdaus, elevate their ranks, and reward every step they took toward this Masjid. Ameen.

On September 12th there will be the biggest Family Fun and Fundraiser event ever held for the construction of your ILC. There will be no event like this again for the construction phase, this is your moment to be part of history.

Count down to the Biggest Family Fun & Fundraiser Event at your ILC site on September 12th, In Shaa Allah!

Only 14 Days To Go.

This will be considered by the will of Allah Subahanahu Wa Ta Ala as the last fundraiser to contribute for the construction of the Masjid and very soon after the move in, all contributions will be for the maintenence but not for the construction. This was only possible by the will of Allah Subhanahu Ta Ala and by your years of steadfast support.

The excitement of the community we witnessed just two days ago when the packages were launched was nothing short of remarkable, as Sister Maryam (President of Al-Salam Foundation) so beautifully expressed in her message. “Your excitement and energy for Day 1 was truly admirable. It is such a blessing to belong to a community that is genuinely building the ILC brick by brick, step by step, donation by donation”.

It has been indeed due to your support and you walking with us step by step and now this Friday, we need two families to officially own the Youth Basketball Hoops and claim these on the day of judgement, as a gift you contributed and a reward from Allah for something that brought our youth to the Masjid and you shaped our future generations by making them stay connected to their masjid with Emaan! Only Allah can reward for this!

See the package below and contact Sister Maryam Quershi (President, Al-Salam Board) or Brother Khalid Mahmood (Treasurer, Al-Salam Board) to secure this Sadaqe Jariyah!

Al‑Salam Youth Builders Package:
basketball hoops for the ILC gym, $10,000 each or $20,000 for a set of two. See the images of gym under construction and the images of how it would like once finished.

Message from the President of Al-Salam Foundation

Asalaamualaikum Dear Community,
Thank you so much for Day 1 of our package launch. Your excitement and energy for Day 1 was truly admirable. It is such a blessing to belong to a community that is genuinely building the ILC brick by brick, step by step, donation by donation. May you all be rewarded for your efforts, dedication, and commitment to want us to move into this building, together Insha’Allah. For what is a building without a community like this? Alhamdulilah.

Please keep an eye out as the days progress. We will be launching some more packages leading up to the fundraiser. We are in our final stretch and are so excited to do this, together.

Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,

Please see this beautiful video from yesterday August 23rd morning and this is a live testimony of this community’s generosity.

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina, he ordered that a mosque be built. He said the tribe, "O Bani An- Najjar! Suggest me a price for the garden of yours." They replied, "By Allah, we will not ask its price except from Allah."
Sahih al‑Bukhari 2774

This is a hadith that feels written exactly for moments like this when a community stands together with open hearts and unwavering generosity. And today, when we look at what this blessed community have done over the last many years, just take a glance below on this community’s generosity, year after year, every year, you have stepped forward with sincerity, unity, and love for Allah’s house. The Board and Construction committee is working very hard to contain the cost but the inflation has caused the price of every material sky rocketed in the last 4-5 years. We appreciate our construction committee members for their work. This Board believes the transparency as the number one priority as this community has donated to make it possible. Please see the totals we received each year from the donors we appreciate very much,

• 2023: $1,224,864.19
• 2024: $1,199,983.65
• 2025: $2,163,939.49
• ⁠2026 till now: $2,009,379.39

Above are the actual amounts deposited in the specific year.Alhumdulillah!

You all have contributed close to 6.6 million in the last 3 and half years, and over 2 million in the last 8 months alone. Subhan Allah!!

This year, your generosity didn’t just continue it rose to a level that inspires hearts. You gave more, you stood stronger, and you showed what it means to be a community that Allah chooses for His work.

Just like the companions who offered their land for Masjid Nabawi saying,
“By Allah, we will not ask its price except from Allah.” you too have given with the purity, expecting reward only from Allah otherwise the above numbers wouldn’t be possible.

Now the final step, on September 12th,we will gather for our Grand Family Fun Fundraising Event, the final push, the last step before we move into our Masjid, In Shaa Allah.

With the strength you have shown in the last three years, especially this year, we walk into September 12th with full confidence that Allah will bless this community once again, and that together, we will secure our Masjid for generations to come. we all believe in this community and Let’s end this year as the most generous year that will complete ILC by the will of Allah!

This is not just another event. This is history. This is legacy. This is Sadaqah Jariyah that will echo long after we are gone.

Please see the video clip and there is a hadith that captures the heart of what we are building:

“Among the seven whom Allah will shade on the Day when there is no shade but His, is the young person who grows up in the worship of Allah.”
Sahih al‑Bukhari & Muslim

The gym walls were fully insulated last week, a small construction milestone, but a huge emotional one. Because every nail, every beam, every layer of insulation is part of a future where our youth stand strong in their faith.

A place where our children will laugh, learn, pray, play, and discover who they are as Muslims, tournaments will happen and young generations will grow embedded in faith. A place where they will bring their friends and proudly say, This is my masjid. This is my community.

The hadith mentioned above is not just a reminder it is a promise. A promise that when we create spaces where our youth can grow close to Allah, those young hearts become beloved to Him. They become the ones honored, protected, and elevated on a day when every soul will be searching for mercy. And that is exactly what your ILC is becoming. You all are building this together, a home of faith and a legacy for generations to come

Let’s finish it together what we started together. Click the link below to become a part of this and buy your tickets to attend September 12th, the grand family fun fundraiser.

Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,

When a community builds something together, every brick, every door, every milestone feels personal, like watching our own home come to life. And today, Alhumdulillah, your ILC is moving forward with a speed and beauty that can only come from duas, unity, and the steadfast hearts of this community.

Just as we eagerly celebrate every new step when building our own homes, Al‑Salam is committed to sharing every achievement with you, big or small, because you are the ones who made this dream possible. Brother Kashif continues to prepare updated videos so the entire community can witness the progress with pride and joy.

Here are the latest blessings, see the video clip.

• Major milestone: Asphalt is being poured, Alhumdulillah, the ground is taking shape beneath our feet.
• Doors are being installed: the entrances to our future prayers, gatherings, and community life.
• City permit received for drywall installation the walls of our ILC are ready to rise soon.

These may look like routine construction steps, but they are not ordinary. They are the result of your duas, your patience, your sacrifices, and your unwavering support over the years. Every contribution, every pledge, every moment of hope has brought us to this stage.

This is not just construction.

This is a community building its future.
This is Sadaqah Jariyah unfolding before our eyes.
This is your legacy.

May Allah reward each one of you, strengthen our unity, and allow us to complete this beautiful project together, In Shaa Allah.

Today is August 12th, and exactly one month from now on September 12th our community will come together for a Grand Family Fun Event and Fundraiser, a day unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before, In Shaa Allah.

*Let’s make September 12th a day our children will remember, a day our community will cherish, and a day that becomes part of our Sadaqah Jariyah, In Shaa Allah.*

We wanted to share a short message from one of our own community members.

Their words really capture what the Islamic Life Center means to the people who call Carmel home.

Sometimes it’s these personal stories - the quiet moments, the memories, the hopes - that remind us why this project is so important.

Please take a moment to watch their testimonial.

If it moves you the way it moved us, we invite you to support the final phase of this journey.

https://secure-api.net/give/v7/al-salam

May Allah reward you for supporting this effort.

We wanted to share something deeply meaningful with you today. This video outlines the story of our community - the struggle, the prayers, the unity, and the hope behind the Islamic Life Center.

Let this remind you why this project matters and how close we are to finally opening our doors.
