Long Term Vision

• Build a facility for community to Learn, Play and Pray together​
• Purchase land to build School, Gym and Masjid ​
• Build the facility in phases​
• Design the facility such that it can be expanded in future when needed
• Build decent facility with low maintenance cost​
• Facility should satisfy the needs of all segments of community ​
• Intent of building is to have maximum usage​
• Continuous Sadaqe-Jaria for volunteers and donors​

Vision Execution (Multi-Phase Plan):

• Phase 0 – Alhumdullilah purchased 13 acres of land in June 2008
• Phase 1 – Alhumdullilah completed School and Gym in September and November 2010 respectively
• Phase 2 – Alhumdullilah completed Masjid and Basement Community Hall in January and May 2015 respectively
• Phase 3 – Alhumdulillah completed School Expansion in August 2019
• Next Phase – Daycare and Gym expansion, Insha’Allah (TBD)

Current Usage:

• Alhumdulillah every day from Fajr until almost 10pm, there is some beneficial activity going on, be it salah, education, sports, or social
• Daarul Uloom has grown from less than 5 students in 2002, to current enrollment of 200+ Masha’Allah
• The first class that started as PreK1 has graduated from 12th grade in 2018-19 school year Masha’Allah
• Gym is heavily used by all entities having programs at Masjid (Daarul Uloom, Quran Academy, Youth Group, Hafs Quran Memorization Center, Sunday School, Kids Sports, Sports activities for community Youth/Brothers every night, and for Sisters on Saturday and Sunday)

What Are We Building Next?​

• ​Dedicated gym for girls, with workout room ​
• Playgroup/Daycare for children under 3 years​ (income generator and sustainability plan for school​)

Gym Expansion

• More than 50% of attendees of all Masjid programs currently happening are girls
• Current gym is unable to provide our girls total privacy, with availability at the convenient times when they are already here in the facility attending programs
• Some activities have been cancelled and/or restricted
  Many communities around country, employ youth directors to bring children and youth to Masjid. Alhumdulillah with the programs, Imam, and facility we have, it is a blessing that children and youth attendance has significantly increased in Masjid

School Sustainability Plan

• There is a need for school to have a sustainability plan where it doesn’t rely totally on donations
• Playgroup for children under 3 years is a need for some families in our community, and many others in Peoria community at large
• For this purpose, Playgroup is being planned, which will help generate money for school

Construction Status

• Currently working on finalizing plans for girls’ gym and day care. Insha’Allah will give an update to community soon.

Fundraising Status

• We will Insha’Allah do the next phase of fundraising once the Daycare and Girls Gym expansion plans are finalized
