I thank Allah that no one was hurt, all praise is due to Him in the good times and the difficult ones.

Our prophet tells us that “He who does not thank people, does not thank Allah."

And so I extend my deepest thanks to Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and Councilman Rolando Lavarro for their help and support to our community in this most challenging time.

I also thank the JC Fire Department who risk their lives every day, who put the fire out.

I thank all our esteemed Imams and the brothers and sisters (the members of the surrounding Masajids) for their willingness to help their brothers and sisters in Jersey City to rebuild their Masjid .

“The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakah and do not fear except Allah , for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided.” Al-Tawba, 18

And lastly, everyone who has been promoting and sharing the news about the Center, and committing themselves and others to be a part of the rebuilding process, thank you all.

Altawheed Islamic Center

All praise is due to Allah. On Friday 02/28/14 around 5:30AM a fire erupted within the masjid. We are blessed that no one was injured but the damage to masjid was extensive. When the fire was contained and finally extinguished the masjid was beyond recognition.  All the systems have completely failed and broken down including electricity, plumbing, and heating/cooling. Currently, we are working with structural engineers to assess the condition and create an action plan to rebuild our Islamic center. Insha Allah Al-Tawheed Islamic Center will be bigger and better than before. We appreciate all the support we are receiving from our brothers and sisters as well as many masjids and we ask for this continuous support until its rebuilding is complete. Al-Tawheed was a home to over a thousand worshippers every Friday and we need your support to re-open the doors of the house of Allah in our community.
