Year in Review:
As the 2023 year has only three days left in it, we take the opportunity to share with the community some of the year's highlights, and 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. Inshallah, more donors will step up before the end of the year, to help us pay down even more. Any donation received up to December 31, 2023 will be included in the 2023. donations receipt, which will be emailed or mailed by January 10, 2024, Inshallah. Donations can be made by cash, check, or electronically on either of the two Masjid online donations platforms:

- 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.

Masjid Services:
- In-person Friday Prayers continue to be offered both inside and outside the Masjid.
- Sunday School instructions continue to be offered in person
- 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.
- Alhamdulillah attendance for In-Masjid prayers, especially Fajr and Isha has been increasing, with different brothers offering Khatiras after Isha prayers on most days.
- The Sunday Morning (Fajr) Hadith Halaqa led by Brother Ensar has been ongoing.
- Group Quran Recitation and Contemplation continue to be held on Zoom every Thursday and is currently led by Brother Mohamed Abdelghani .
- During the year we offered other community service programs, including Eid Prayers, Family nights, Eid Picnics, and Sunday School events.
- 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 2023:
- 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.
