Thank you for supporting KMA's "Our Home, Our Dreams" Fundraiser!

With Allah's Mercy and your generous support, we have reached our current goal! We're now evaluating work that needs to be completed in the next stage, and will post once we have a figure.

The amount we have raised so far will go towards paying off interest-free loans taken to purchase our new property and to begin the city zoning process, inshaa Allah.

Donations are always welcome as we will need further support in the future for required modifications to the existing structure and property to make it usable based on city requirements. Experts are working on establishing what further work is required and estimating its cost. We are committed to transperency and open communication regarding costs and project needs.

Please continue to donate generously.

Your donation will go directly towards establishing the Kanata Muslim Community Centre and Masjid. Help establish the first House of Allah in Kanata and get yourself a house in Jannah, inshaa Allah!

Jazakum Allah Khayr!

Kanata Muslim Association

"Our Home, Our Dreams"

Some Background

Kanata's Muslim community has spent the last decade renting facilities such as community centres, churches and schools for prayers, events and evening & weekend schools. A small rental mosalla is available for daily prayers and limited gatherings.

With Allah’s help, we've tried our best to organize Friday & Taraweeh prayers, run schools for children, organize youth programs, host social events, do outreach, engage with the media, offer family support & spiritual counsel and more - all without a permanent home. 
 
We’re at our seventh Friday prayer rental location and currently have activities happening at four different rental locations. 

For years, we've been looking for a property that is:

• Close to Kanata's tech hub employing many Muslims
• Zonable as a place of worship
• Affordable
• Sized appropriately for a masjid and community centre

Alhamdulillah, our dream has become a reality. We now have a property (land and a building) in Kanata, near the intersection of March Rd and Klondike Rd. Our aim is to establish a cozy, inclusive and vibrant centre & masjid for:

• Worship
• Education
• Sports & Fun
• Social Events
• Spiritual Counsel
• Family Support
• Outreach
• Media Engagement
• and more!

Alhamdulillah, with your generous support, we had enough funds to pay for the bulk of the purchase price. Only $250,000 were borrowed from community members on an interest-free basis. Before we move ahead, these funds need to be paid back. In order to start the zoning approval process, we need $150,000. We cannot use the property for our intended use before receiving zoning approval.

The prophet Muhammad - peace be upon him - said, "Giving Sadaqah does not decrease wealth."

In fact he rephrased that three times to emphasize this point.

Please donate generously. May Allah Almighty bless and reward you for centuries to come.
