Latest on ISCK’s Community Masjid Project

The ISCK would like to update the community on our Community Masjid Project.

This effort began last year with a Committee that was formed by the ISCK to research and locate properties that will facilitate our need for having a Community Masjid/Center. The Masjid Committee has met on a consistent basis and has made significant progress. The Committee has identified several options for the location of the Masjid and has been in negotiations to establish a trust fund for the project.

The ISCK is committed to keep you informed. The ISCK is dedicated to establishing a Community Masjid/Center in Lexington, a place to pray, play and grow as a community . We hope to send you another update soon with more good news Insha’Allah. We ask Allah SWT to bless our efforts and to give us the chance to pray in a new Community Masjid soon. Ameen.
