The EPIC BoD is committed to bringing this project to completion on time, within budget and with due diligence In’sha’Allah. We are also grateful to our community who rallied behind us and pledged their support for the new Masjid. However, we are still short of approx. $1.5 Million to complete the entire project. We request you to continue to pray to Allah (SWT) for His mercy and blessings on this project and we urge you to fulfill your pledges as soon as possible so that we can continue to work on this project and deliver this Amanah (trust) as we have promised – before next Ramadan In’sha’Allah.
