Empowering Our Mosques, Empowering Our Community
Fort McMurray Islamic Center, an essential pillar of support for our Muslim community, is undergoing transformative construction to enrich its services.
Alongside maintaining a serene prayer space, the Markaz is expanding to include essential facilities. We're building modern classrooms, a Wudhu area for ablution, and developing the basement to accommodate versatile spaces, such as activity rooms, a counseling room, and an Imam's office.
As we approach the culmination of our construction efforts, we appeal for your support to realize our vision of a fully multifaceted facility and community hub.
Every contribution counts, with Islamic Relief Canada generously matching every $2 raised with $1. our kindness ensures manifold rewards, supporting our diverse services and fostering community unity.
May Allah bless our construction endeavors and accept your Sadaqah Jariyah.
