Evergreen Masjid Construction Project – Status as of August 30, 2011


Alhumdulillah, we just came to know this afternoon that the City of San Jose has approved the much awaited architectural design of the proposed new Evergreen masjid. We are now ready to pull the building construction permit.

Alhumdulillah, so far, we have received approvals for mechanical, plumbing, structural and electrical plans. We have the verbal approval for the architectural plan but are waiting for the formal/written approval which is expected in the next few days. Once we receive the written approval, we can pull the building construction permit, Inshallah.

Our immediate need is to raise $250,000 to pay for the following:

1. Street improvement permit – $65,000
2. Building Construction Permit – $100,000 (approximately)
3. Fire sprinkler, Fire Alarm, Kitchen and interior design consultants -$75,000

In order to raise funds for the project, our fundraising plan is as follows:

  • We have 553 musallah spaces in the new masjid Inshallah. Of these, 393 are for men and 160 for women. Please see the attached layout.
  • Each musallah space can be sponsored for an amount of $2,000 paid in full or with an initial payment of $500 and the balance of $1,500 to be paid in 12-15 months.
  • We can sponsor the musallah space for ourselves, our spouses, children, parents or any individual who is significant in our lives.
Note: There is no SELL, BUY or CLAIM of any sort on the musallah space. Each sponsor, Inshallah, will reap rewards from Allah (swt) whenever the sponsored musallah space gets prayed upon, Inshallah. 

If we follow the proposed plan above and get 553 musallah spaces sponsored, we would reach our immediate goal of raising $250K. The remaining amount, over $750K collected in 12-15 months, can be used for the actual construction, Inshallah. 


I request you to please sponsor at least one musallah so we can complete the above tasks and meet our milestones.

Let us all pray to Allah (swt) to make it easy for us and for Him to reward us with success in our efforts.
