New Mosque In The Works

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL
With Allah (SWT)’s blessings, we are working to establish a Mosque and the first Isamic Insitution in St. Thomas, USVI. Insha' Allah, this will be a place where people will worship Allah (SWT), learn the religion based on Quran & Sunnah, and create a positive impression of Islam which will effect all parts of the world. This is also, be the first Mosque in the US Virgin Islands.
We purchased 15.00 acres of land in St. Thomas, VI
. Inshaa Allah, this land will be used for to build a permanent home for our Masjid Al Nur.
"Surely he only shall tend the mosques of Allah who has believed in Allah and the Last Day, and kept up the prayer,
and brought the Zakat, and is apprehensive of none except Allah; so, it may be that those will be among the rightly-Guided." __ Surat At-Tawbah (9:18)
Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said, a hadith reported by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, "Whosoever builds for Allah a masjid, Allah will reward him similar to it in paradise."
Donating money to build a masjid for the sake of Allah(SWT) is a sadaqah jariah (continuing charity), meaning the reward will continue to reach the donor even after his/her death.
Prophet (SAW) said:”When a man dies, nothing lives on after him, except for three things: sadaqah jariyah (continuing charity), knowledge which can benefit others, or virtuous offspring who will pray for him.”
We need your donation for this project.

Tribute to Mohammed Ali: A True Legend
Muhammad Ali, the silver-tongued boxer and civil rights champion who famously proclaimed himself "The Greatest" and then spent a lifetime living up to the billing died at the age of 74.
Ali died at a Phoenix-area hospital, where he had spent the past few days being treated for respiratory complications. Ali had suffered for three decades from Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition that slowly robbed him of both his verbal charm and his physical deftness.
Even as his health declined, Ali did not shy from politics or controversy, releasing a statement in December criticizing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. "We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda," he said.
The remark bookended the life of a man who burst into the national consciousness in the early 1960s, when as a young heavyweight champion he converted to Islam and refused to serve in the Vietnam War, and became an emblem of strength, eloquence, conscience and courage. Ali was an anti-establishment showman who transcended borders and barriers, race and religion.
