About

Alhamdulillah, the Islamic Community Center of Lancaster is under contract to purchase a beautiful property in Lancaster, PA, located next to a major highway. This professional building is set to become the first Grand Masjid for Lancaster County and the surrounding areas, InshaaAllah. Lancaster, a city known for welcoming people from around the world, also holds historical significance for publishing one of the earliest English translations of the Qur'an in 1835. This reflects the early presence of the Muslim faith in American society. Recently, this historical copy was procured from an antique auction in England and is now on display at the Lancaster History Museum. Today, the growing Muslim population of Lancaster urgently needs its own space for worship and community services. We must raise the remaining $500,000 of the $2 million purchase cost within the next month of May (25th), 2025 to finalize the acquisition. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will help us meet this goal and establish a vital center for our community. In many cities, the opportunity to help establish a masjid has already passed, as several masajid exist. This is a rare, truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Sadaqah Jariyah—a continuous charity for generations to come. Donate today and be part of establishing a lasting House of Allah in Lancaster. "Never will you attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love. And whatever you spend – indeed, Allah is Knowing of it." Surah Al-Imran (3:92) Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise." — [Bukhari & Muslim]
