Where We Came From — How Far We've Reached

A new mosque, rising by the grace of Allah

These photographs tell the story of 91–93 Parkhurst Road — from the original building, through demolition and new foundations, to the steel frame and new walls now taking shape. Every stage has been made possible by the du'as and generosity of our community.

This is Sadaqah Jāriyah you can see with your own eyes. Follow the transformation below, and help us reach the finish line.
