Masjid Al-Noor Waterloo/Cedar Falls - Imam Project

Asalam aleikum,

I am writing to you on behalf of Masjid Al-Noor Waterloo/Cedar Falls Islamic Community Center. We would like for you to be a part ofthis much needed project that will continuously benefit our community longterm. We are in need of a leader, an imam who will be dedicated full time toprovide services to the community such as providing leadership, leading prayer,delivering khutbah, running classes, engaging and making himself accessible to the community, teaching kids, and more. Over the last 1.5 years we have beenprimarily relying on volunteers to cover the basics such as prayer and khutbah.We certainly need a leader who is constantly present and able to provideservices especially with a focus on the kids. One thing that weve not done sowell over the years is take care of the people of knowledge that have come toour community.

Wed like to change this and to raise money for an imam houseowned by Masjid Al-Noor which will be on or near the masjid property. Our goalis to raise $200,000 for this project and once we get closer, we can assesswhether we build on masjid property or buy (within a 1-mile radius) of themasjid. If we can accomplish this, well have a leader and a person ofknowledge in this community consistently long term, and we are confident inthis inshAllah. This will provide a regular full-time presence of a person ofknowledge to the masjid to serve people. As Muslims we all need additional guidancefrom a qualified leader. We also have new people to Islam or people that areasking about Islam that we are not able to give attention to as most of thevolunteers are working professionals with limited time and are not able to dedicatethe time to help teach these individuals.

We are asking everyone together to be a part of this projectand please contribute to see our community grow, thrive, and become people thatAllah will be pleased with.
