ESTABLISH a house of allah in EscondidO — BY Ramadan!

Alhamdulillah, Al-Nour Center has been blessed with a unique opportunity:
we currently rent the top floor of the building at 125 West Mission Avenue, Escondido, and we have secured a lease with an option to buy the entire building. Our goal — insha’Allah — is to complete the purchase before this coming Ramadan and establish a permanent, self-sustaining Islamic center for our community.
Goal: Buy our 17,000 sqft. building by Ramadan
Vision: Double our Musalla and school space while using groundfloor rentals to fund operations
Your Impact: Your donation is sadaqah jariyah — ongoing charity that continues to benefit you for as long as this center stands
🏢 Our Current Space: A Fully Active Community Hub
Al-Nour Center currently occupies the top floor (8,500 sq. ft.), which is already alive with activity every day:
Main Musalla for men and women
Cafeteria area serving the community
Weekend School & After-School Program classrooms
Interim community grocery store that helps generate sustainable revenue
This floor is already a source of barakah, knowledge, service, and unity for the growing Muslim community of North County.

🌙 Why We Need Your Help Now
If we purchase the entire building, we unlock a transformational opportunity for generations to come.
This is not just a building — it is the future of Islam in Escondido.

🌟 Our Vision After Purchasing the Entire Building
1. Full Ownership of Both Floors
We will take control of the entire building — approximately 17,000 sq. ft. This allows us to expand services, plan long-term, and invest confidently in our community’s future.
---
2. Commercial Activation of the Ground Floor
The lower floor will be developed into commercial rental spaces, providing:
A stable, long-term revenue stream
Financial independence for the masjid
Support for operational costs, expansions, and upgrades
This is a rare opportunity to create a self-sustaining model that reduces reliance on constant fundraising.
---
3. Expansion of Masjid & Educational Services
With the full building, we will:
Expand the main musalla
Upgrade facilities and services
Grow the Weekend School & After-School Program
Work toward establishing a full-time Islamic school for the next generation
The demand is already here — we simply need the space.
---
4. A Sustainable Community Model for Generations
By maintaining commercial operations on the ground floor, Al-Nour Center can fund its own programs, teachers, maintenance, and future expansions. This structure allows the masjid to thrive without emergency fundraising and gives the community a reliable, permanent home.
