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).
