Goal
We are in urgent need of donation to construct a Masjid in Penrith region, NSW Australia. To address the needs of growing Muslim community which currently is estimated to be around 5,000 in the Penrith region. In early 2003, Muslim residents of Penrith started gathering on Tuesday for Maghrib prayers. These prayers were mostly offered in the home garages upon the weekly visit of Jamat. As the number of Muslims in the area started gradually increasing, the need for establishing Friday prayers was realised. We currently hire community centers and utilise public venue to hold Jummah Prayers and Taraweeh prayers.
Muslims in the Penrith Region has no arrangements to hold five daily prayers or services in the area for children to learn Quran. We seek the support of Muslims around world to help us so we may be able to address those immediate issues and for our community to have access to an Islamic Centre in Penrith.
