Year in Review:

Here are some of the 2023  highlights, we look forward to what we hope to accomplish in 2024, Inshallah:

  • New Property (18015 Sierra Highway) Finances:    As a reminder, the 1/2 acre property immediately north of the Masjid was acquired at the end of 2021 for $575,000.  After making a $215,000 downpayment,  the balance of $360,000 was met with $85,000 Qard Hasan, and $275,000 seller-financed loan. At the beginning of 2023, the seller-financed loan balance stood at $167,000 & Qard Hasan at $85,000. Alhamdulillah, by the end of 2023 the seller-financed loan has been reduced to $20,272 & Qard Hasan to $75,000 (see graph below ).   Special thanks to the families who donated generously throughout 2023 and enabled us to continue to make progress in paying down the loan.  Any donations that were received up to December 31, 2023 will be included in the 2023.
  • 2023 Donations receipts: have been generated and either emailed or mailed with the exception of the following 8 donors for whom we have no physical or email address for. Receipts for the following donors will be available at the masjid tomorrow Friday, January 5th in Shaa Allah. 
  • Future Donations: can be made by cash, check, or electronically on either of the two Masjid  online donations platforms:

  • New Property Improvements: During 2023, we spent  $51,000 from CalOES grant funds on the following security enhancement projects for 18015 Sierra Highway property: 
  1. Wrought iron fencing along the East  boundary of the lot.
  2. A new 20 feet long by 6 feet high wrought iron vehicular access gate along the East boundary  of the lot, and 4 feet long by 6 foot high wrought iron gate pedestrian access  gate adjacent to vehicular access gate.
  3. Equipped main gate with electric powered operator.

Masjid Services: 

  1. In-person Friday Prayers continue to be offered  both inside  and outside the Masjid.
  2. Sunday School instructions continue to be offered in person
  3. 2023 Ramadan program was a great success with nightly Iftar & Taraweeh Prayers.  We were blessed to have Sheikh Mostafa join us from Egypt to lead the Ramadan program. 
  4. Alhamdulillah attendance for In-Masjid prayers, especially Fajr and Isha has been increasing, with different brothers offering Khatiras after Isha prayers on most days. 
  5. The Sunday Morning (Fajr) Hadith Halaqa led by Brother Ensar has been ongoing.
  6. Group Quran Recitation and Contemplation continue to be held on Zoom every Thursday and is currently led by Brother Mohamed Abdelghani .
  7. During the year we offered other community service programs, including Eid Prayers, Family nights, Eid Picnics, and Sunday School events.
  8. The Masjid board of directors was reconstituted and is working along the board of trustees to move the Masjid forward and provide services and activities for the growing Muslim community in the Eastern corridor of the Santa Clarita Valley 

Looking Forward to 2024:

  • Inshallah we'll double up our efforts to raise funds in order  to pay off the new lot loan by September 1, 2024.  
  • Begin the process of merging the new lot with the current lot at 18027 Sierra Highway.
  • Explore options for locating the new Maajid within the boundaries of the merged lots. 
  • Begin the architectural and engineering design for the new masjid building.
