Dear Respected Brothers, sisters and Philanthropic Supporters,

Alhamdulillah, our beloved mosque, has long been a place for performing salat and community gathering. It stands not just as a building, but as a sacred space where hearts are united in devotion to Allah swt.

The top floor and ladies' prayer area on the first floor, a space that has served our mothers, sisters, and daughters with dignity and serenity, is in critical need of essential repairs and refurbishment. The flooring and ceiling have deterioratedsafety concerns and diminishing the beauty and comfort of this sacred space. We are embarking on a vital repair and renovation project with following major work components:
  A. Maintenance of the Main large lady's prayer hall on the first floor (including ceiling, walls, and windows).
  B. Repair of the uneven floor near the front window on the second floor at 31 Oakfield Avenue.
  C. Structural reinforcement of the weak and bending load-bearing area in the front room in second floor at 31 Oakfield Avenue.
  D. Repair, replacement, or installation of the gutter system.

To repair and restore this section of the mosque to a condition that provides safety and reflects the honour, respect, and care our community holds for all. But we cannot do this alone.

The estimated cost of the entire repair and refurbishment is substantial, and we urgently need your support.

  Every family member whose loved ones use this space for prayer,
  And especially to our philanthropic Muslim brothers and sisters whose generosity continues to uphold the mission of our deen.
