thousand SQ ft three new buildings with so many parkingAlhamduLillah
by the Grace of Allah SWT we have possession of the new building now. This was
only possible because of help from the momineen. For
those who have made pledges please come forward and pay them off. We will InshaALlah move in the new building by the end of August
after the receive the use permit Mashallah.
As most of you are aware that the old location of Azakhana-e-Zahra
was a getting too small for our activities. In particular our Muharram,
Ramadan, and Eid events have a fairly high
participation and warrant use of a much bigger place to accommodate all momineen. In addition, as we
mentioned during this past Muharram that the old location of Azakhan-e-Zahra does not had enough parking spots (only six
parking spots
belong to Azakhana), and we were having to constantly
work with our neighbors and city of Milpitas to satisfy their needs and
requirements. We
. We dicided to
move out of old building. It was not a choice or an option, rather
a necessity for us to move to a bigger and better place.
We looked at quite a few buildings (even land), some didn't have enough room,
some were too far for most of the community, some didn't have enough parking, others were just too expensive for our community. By
the grace of Allah and the dua of our community
members we were able to find a property that meets the above criteria.
The property consists of three separate units having multiple multi-use
halls/rooms that can be satisfy our needs not only for our regular programs but
also for special occasions such as Muharram, Ramadan, and Eid.
The property is located just a few blocks from the old location of Azakhan-e-Zahra. In our estimation this property
meets all our needs in terms of space, parking, Sunday school, etc. Of
particular importance is the fact that one of the units have
at least eight rooms that we can start using right away for our Sunday School
as well as for future Elementary and High School. The property is
completely detached from other neighboring properties, and in our estimation
will serve our needs for many years to come. We anticipate two units will
be enough for our use, the third unit has been rented
out to a Momen Brohter
Hassan Alkhafaji (Iraqi Brother) to open Islamic
Grocery and Halal Meet and Gift, Cloth shop. this unite rented out to generate some income to repay our
mortgage. Later on, this unit can be turned into a youth center.
The possibilities for future additions/modifications are endless and are only
bound by our imagination.
We are seeking help from the community to buy this property. We cannot
count on one or two individuals to pay for this property. This is the
Religues Waqf property and we count on our community to step up and
make this dream a reality. Maulana Mudassir and the management committee has
asked help from each and every family of our community. To help pay for
this property we are asking every family to contribute. Remember this is Relgues Waqf property, and we
count on your support to help pay for it. This property is not just for
us to attend Muharram
Majalis, or for our children to attend Sunday School, rather it is intended to serve our generations to
come. This is an investment in the future for
us, and for our children's education. Remember a community is only as
good as their place of worship.
We need your help to payoff this bulding to make this dream a reality. Please mail
your contributions directly to Azakhan-e-Zahra at
Remember Allah said "The likeness of those
who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, is as the likeness of a grain that
sprouts seven spikes. In every spike there are 100 grains, and Allah
multiplies for whom He will. Allah's will is embracing,
all-knowing." (Quran 2:261)
please also fulfill your pledge . Please accept our sincere thanks if you have
already mailed your pledge. Once again, please mail your checks to Azakhan-e-Zahra as soon as possible..
