Brothers and sisters, assalamu alaykum. It
has almost been a decade since MCC has
opened its doors to this beautiful community,
a place where members of society have come
together and have grown as Muslims and human
beings.
Over the past few years, we have built
a daycare center,
repaved our parking lot,
upgraded our lobby, bathrooms, masjid carpets, and proudly
extended our women's prayer area.
From educational programs to nikas,
we are gratified to say that we have
come a long way, and we couldn't have
done it without your contributions.
May Allah reward each of you and multiply
your rewards in this dunya and akhirah.
Ameen.
We are now in the month of Ramadan
and have some major milestones we need to
complete with your support, insha'Allah.
There is no better time than now to
help build the house of Allah for your
family and community
during this blessed month.
The messenger of Allah, salallahu alayhi wasalam,
peace and blessings be upon him, said, whoever
builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build
for him a house like it in paradise.
So let us come together and take advantage
of this time we have right now to
multiply our rewards, insha'Allah.
We currently have 2 phases of renovations we're
planning to accomplish, insha'Allah.
In the first phase, we're working on our
new banquet hall, a cafe, and an industrial
grade kitchen to help serve the community.
For the second phase, our plans are to
focus this stage on our future, the youth.
We will build boys and girls youth lounges,
a remodeled Sunday school, and a multipurpose
room. The community understands the importance of making
our youth have an outlet accessible for them.
So we're making this a major priority to
have these services available.
Also, we will be renovating the grand entryway
to MCC,
as well as raising our ceilings in the
Masjid prayer area and conference room, which then
permits us to add a mihrab and mimbr,
insha'Allah.
It is our goal to have these renovations
completed in the next 2 years, but our
hope is to beat our timeline with your
aid. We're aiming to achieve completion as early
as 2020,
which would mark our 10 year anniversary as
the MCC,
Insha'Allah.
Our community is growing, Masha'Allah,
and we'd like to maintain its growth.
We would not ask you for this investment
unless we felt it was important for the
community.
Please
continue to support us with your generosity
as we position the MCC
to be the thriving regional hub for the
Muslim community in the East Bay.
