Dear Brothers/Sisters In Islam,
Salaam Alaikum,
Insha’allah we pray that you and your family are in the best of health and spirits.
I am humbly writing to you on behalf of our Minnesota Jamaat with a request of a pledge from you to help our Jamaat fund our Multi-Purpose Center (MPC) which was built in the year 2001 to meet the growing needs of the community members
Please allow me to give you a brief usage summary on the MPC:
To accommodate large gatherings during the special nights of Muharram, Ramadhan , Eid Salaats
To accommodate the needs of the children enrolled in the Madressah Programs
To facilitate the recreational needs of the youth and Children in the community
To facilitate the health and fitness programs of the ladies in a modest environment
This building is currently used almost every day of the week by brothers and sisters of all ages who play a variety of sports. The building is also used for Meetings ( Nasimco ) the Karbala exhibit, and much more.
Funding:
| Cost of the Building was |
$ 1.3 million |
| Payments made so far |
$ 875K |
| Balance Outstanding |
$ 425 K |
We have had to resort by taking out a commercial bank loan to cover the shortfall and every month we have been making the monthly payment to the Bank. It is in this matter we are asking for your help in donating generously so that we may pay off this loan so that the community can stay debt free and continue to serve the needs of the community members.
Utilizing of Khums:
We do have the Ijaza from our marjae taqlid [via World Federation of KSIMC], Syed Al Seestani (may Allah give him a long life) where we can collect khums funds to use towards this project.
Contact:
In the next few days a representative may contact you to answer any questions you may have about this project.
A Tax deductible receipt will be issued for your donation.
Should you need any other information you may visit our website www.mnjamat.org or email us at office@mnjamat.org or by phone to Mohsin Kassam at 763 425-7726.
Sincerely,
