Mission Statement
The Abrar is a mosque and a second home for Muslims from different nationalities and backgrounds where no one ethnic group monopolizes the masjid. Our mission is to follow Islam as Allah SWT ordered us to do without any discrimination against anyone, and to help one another to be the best in our community. Best students, best coworkers, best neighbors by showing others the manners of Islam and utilizing Islam in our daily practical lives.
About This Cause
Just few years ago our Muslim community of Riverdale and Kingsbridge in Bronx NY were performing their five daily prayers in a one bedroom apartment in a basement of a building, and performing Juma'a and Taraweeh Prayers at local churches. In 2017 the Abrar Board after consulting with the community decided to purchase a $1.1M property and make it a mosque/Muslim community center. This $1.1M, plus all renovation costs were interst free because we refused to pay any Riba. Alhamdolilah, with the blessings from Allah we purchased the property from a Muslim Family. Now and after only four years of the purchase the Abrar masjid is debt free, on June 2021 we paid off every Penny we owed. We now need your help to maintain the masjid by covering its utility expenses, insurance, programs costs, and other expenses that the masjid incurs every month. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic we had many programs that we hope to resume very soon as NYC is lifting most restrictions. Example of our programs include but are not limited to: Weekend school for students 5-16 YRS old, English as A Second Language classes for the sisters, brothers youth nights, Quran classes, public speaking training for youth, health Fitness and Well-being classes and services, children's fun days, halaqat/circles for both brothers and sisters, da'wah/inviting others to Islam, food pantry that served Muslims and Non-Muslims (continued to serve during the peak of the pandemic in NYC), family nights, marriage counseling, Nikah services and more. Your donation will help us maintain these programs and allow us to create and offer more services for a healthier and better community. Thank you for choosing to be part of our community and Mosque. May Allah reward you.
