Why I am supporting Nueces Mosque Reconstruction:

Nueces Masjid was home away from home for me. I'm fundraising in memory of my late father Masud Javaid (1955-2013) who visited the masjid in 2010 when he came to visit me. He also met Sheikh Umer (RA) and was quite impressed Alhamdulillah.

As Salaamu'Alaikum Brothers and Sisters. Nueces is a home away from home for many reasons and it is at a crucial stage in its reconstruction journey. I have been on the board of Nueces Mosque for the last 3 years and Alhumdulillah this project is at the brink of starting. All we need is your help! I have many great memories living at Nueces once upon a time, and to see that there is an opportunity for hundred's of students to be able to live there is amazing! I have committed to raising $1000 for this campaign. Please pitch in today to help us start construction.

Jazak Allah Khair for your contributions!

Best,

Sohail
