Masjid Al-Iman

Alhumdulillah, the Muslim community in Victoria has grown sharply in recent years and we are now at a stage where there is a pressing need to either enlarge the existing Masjid or to purchase a property and build a new Masjid. Our current facilities do not meet the requirements of the community.

Insha Allah the existing Masjid at 2216 & 2218 Quadra Street, Victoria will be re-developed into one large unit by incorporating two existing, adjoining properties. Architectural design has been completed with the new structure comprising three levels, a basement, the main floor and a mezzanine area. Collectively these three levels will adequately provide prayer space to meet our needs.In addition to separate prayer facilities for men and women, the plan provides for a storage area, a kitchen, an office and an activity room.

The estimated cost of the new project is $1.56 million CAD, an amount that is far in excess of what the local Muslim community can provide. We are therefore obliged to seek financial assistance from our brothers and sisters both nationally and internationally.

The Board of the Association has formed a committee to manage the project. Insha Allah, with Allah’s assistance and guidance the project will commence in earnest as soon as sufficient funds are raised. We anticipate a 6 to 8 month construction period thereafter.
