The Muslim community of Folsom started from very humble beginnings. Alhamdullilah, from these small beginnings, the community has grown tremendously. As we continue to meet the growing needs of the community, our biggest challenge is having proper facilities. We currently rent a 4000 sq feet office building which houses the islamic school as well as a small musallah. This space is already inadequate for current activities. For the past 3 years, Juma'ah prayers are offered in the club house of a local park. |
Alhamdulliah, in May 2005, the city of Folsom approved our plans to build a masjid on a 2 acre parcel located in the heart of Folsom. The masjid is named after Hazrath Bilal, an African slave who was one of the early converts to Islam. Our goal is to build a masjid that would be a source of pride to the muslim and non-muslim community. Some key features of the masjid include:

| Funding the Masjid Masjid Bilal project will be executed in 3 phases. However, we will have enough improvements done by the end of the second phase to occupy the building, insha Allah. Total funding requirement for Phase 1& 2 is $2.3 M. Alhamdulliah, we have enough to get started on Phase 1, but we need to raise about $1.9M. We need your help! Please donate generously. |
