Sadaqah jariyah

Help build the Masjid & Ghusl Center.

Phase 1 of Minnesota's first dedicated Muslim cemetery is finished and paid for. Phase 2 is the building that lets us wash, shroud and pray over our loved ones — and open the cemetery to families.

“When a person dies, all their deeds come to an end except three: a continuous charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.”

Sahih Muslim 1631

Why give

A gift that outlives you

  • 01

    Sadaqah jariyah

    A masjid and a cemetery keep giving long after the donor is gone — every prayer, every ghusl, every burial carried out with dignity.

  • 02

    The first of its kind in Minnesota

    Muslims from about 40 nations will finally have a cemetery of their own — no more burying loved ones far from home.

  • 03

    Transparent and accountable

    A community nonprofit with a public record: township approvals, architects’ plans and finished Phase 1 work you can visit today.
