Phase 1
Build Out the Masjid
Turn 6205 N Milwaukee Ave into a full masjid: an open prayer hall, a sisters' area, wudu rooms and restrooms, step-free access, and the fire-safety work a place of worship needs.
Give to a specific project. Every gift is recorded against the project you choose, and each project takes only the kinds of giving that may be used for it: zakat goes only where zakat is allowed.
Phase 1
Turn 6205 N Milwaukee Ave into a full masjid: an open prayer hall, a sisters' area, wudu rooms and restrooms, step-free access, and the fire-safety work a place of worship needs.
Phase 2
Classrooms on the second floor for Qur'an, Islamic studies and weekend school, for children and adults.
Phase 3
Support orphans in need now, and plan a licensed children's home for the future.
Zakat
Give your zakat through the masjid. It is kept apart from every other gift and given only to those eligible to receive it.
Sadaqah
Voluntary charity, used wherever the need is greatest.
