Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Imagine a future where our growing Muslim community has the resources, space, and facilities to thrive. For over 26 years, the Stamford Islamic Center (SIC) has been a beacon of faith, unity, and service in Fairfield County, CT. Alhamdulillah, we have served thousands, but with our ever-growing congregation, we have outgrown our current space.
Now, we turn to YOU, our beloved community, to help us transform SIC into a center that will serve generations to come.
Why Do We Need Your Help?
With your generosity, we are embarking on a $3.7 million expansion project (SIC 2.0) to increase capacity and provide essential services for our children, youth, elders, and the entire Ummah.
This project includes:
✅ Expanding the prayer hall to accommodate 850 worshippers, allowing for larger congregational prayers and Eid gatherings.
✅ Building a full-time Islamic school (up to 5th grade)—the first in a 30-mile radius, ensuring our children receive both academic and Islamic education.
✅ Constructing a funeral home to provide dignified Islamic burial services. We already have 1,200 grave sites in Norwalk, CT.
✅ Adding a gymnasium and indoor basketball court to engage youth, promote health, and strengthen our community bonds.
✅ Developing a food bank to support those in need on a weekly basis.
✅ Building a multi-level parking structure to accommodate the increasing number of visitors.
This is not just a construction project; it is an investment in our faith, education, and community well-being.
A Sadaqah Jariyah – Your Everlasting Reward
Your contribution today is a Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity)—a form of giving that will continue benefiting you in this life and the Hereafter, Insha’Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuous charity, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for them.” (Sahih Muslim)
Imagine the rewards of every prayer, every child learning Qur’an, and every soul benefiting from these services—all counting towards your scale of good deeds!
