Monumental Update To The Centro Islamico Construction!

Alhamdulillah! We're 1 step closer to completing the buildout of the ONLY Spanish-speaking Latino-led Islamic Center in the United States!

None of this could have been possible except with the grace of Allah, and with your continued support. 🙏

We are now at a monumental point in the construction, where we will see the vision of the future Centro become a reality right in front of our very eyes 👀

But in order for us to build the 11 interior walls, we need to raise $110,000 in the next 30 days so that we can remain on schedule to complete the Masjid by the end of the year.

Will you be 1 of 1,100 generous believers to donate JUST $100 today to help us finish this one-of-a-kind project?

The Arches to the Prayer area are almost complete! 🕌

Here are the images of the Andalucia style arches being built for the prayer area of the IslamInSpanish Centro Islamico. Its really starting to take shape and we’re so excited to be moving along and staying on schedule.

Alhumdulillah with your continuous support and donations we hope to keep it that way. We are almost at the point of reaching our goal to completing the funding for the construction of the interior area of the IslamInSpanish Centro Islamico so please donate and share with others.

 

🚧 The Framing Of Our Centro Islamico Is Currently Underway! 🚧

In this video, we speak with Neil (who is the owner of the construction company) as he walks us through the progress of the construction and what will be happening next.

Alhamdulillah, with your support, and by the grace of Allah, we are on schedule with the construction and expect to complete this phase of construction in the next few weeks.

None of this could have been possible without your continued support (and with the help of Allah)

We look forward to your ongoing support as we hope to build out this one-of-a-kind Masjid on time.

Centro Islamico Construction Update May 18 2023

🕌✨ What's Going On At The Centro Islamico? 🚧🛠️💫

Since the end of Ramadan 🌙, our Centro has been closed to the public and we've been in full-swing construction mode transforming the heart of the Centro into a vibrant Masjid and Islamic Center. We're absolutely thrilled to share with you our progress! ✅ In Ramadan, we've completed the interior demolition of the building

✅ Then, we cut through the concrete foundation to install the main runs for the plumbing of the building. (This took longer than expected, but it's a testament to the Centro's incredibly solid foundation)

➡️ As soon as we receive the green light 🟢 (aka the necessary permits), we'll be covering up those main runs and moving forward with the fire suppression system 🕌 This critical step will swiftly be followed up by the metal framing for the walls. Our developer is optimistic that we will be able to complete this unique project within the next three months!

 

Demolition Complete! - April 10 2023

2nd Week Construction Update - March 3, 2022

Alhumdulillah we’re moving things along in the construction build out of the IslamInSpanish Centro Islamico. A quick update with CEO & Founder, Jaime “Mujahid” Fletcher.


Details of the Construction Project

The IslamInSpanish Centro Islamico is the Global Headquarters of IslamInSpanish located in the city of Houston, Texas in one of Houston's most diverse neighborhoods "Alief" where its founders grew up. It is located right under the water tower that says Alief and less than 1 minute away from Hastings and Elsik High Schools which houses over 11,000 high school students combined.

We are looking to create out of the Centro Islamico a model that can be replicated in other major cities where Latinos and Muslims reside throughout the U.S. with the second one possibly being in the city of Dallas next since we have a rental IslamInSpanish Dallas Outreach Center for the past 4 years. It is the only place where the Friday sermon is delivered in Spanish in the United States and broadcasted throughout Latin America in places where there are no mosques nor Muslims living.

We look forward to completing the final buildout in 2021 inshAllah (if God wills it), which is the year that will mark 20 years since IslamInSpanish was founded.

All of this would not be possible without the guidance and the mercy that comes with God’s grace, and with the sincere and generous support from the over 30,000 people worldwide who came together with us as partners to share in the infinite rewards of our efforts in this life and the hereafter.

JazakAllah Khair (may God reward you) for your continued support.
