Over 900 needy individuals, so far, received Zakat assistance from the Mosque Foundation during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

We depend on Allah (ﷻ) first and foremost, and then on your help. Before COVID-19, every week, thousands of worshippers entered through our doors and donated toward operational costs and maintenance. COVID-19 may have shut our doors, but do not let it close your hearts.
