Rendering of the Masjid & Ghusl Center from the southwest
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.”

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.

Questions

Giving FAQ

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Al Maghfirah Cemetery Association is a nonprofit organization (EIN 46-5304370). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law — please consult your tax advisor. LaunchGood and PayPal email a receipt automatically; for Zelle or Cash App gifts, email info@maghfirahcemetery.org with your name and amount and we will send one.

Can I give in memory of a loved one?

Yes. Add the name of the person in the note or memo when you give (LaunchGood, Zelle and Cash App all allow one). A gift toward the masjid and ghusl center is sadaqah jariyah — ongoing charity — on their behalf.

Which way of giving is best?

Zelle and Cash App send 100% of your gift with no processing fees. LaunchGood is the easiest way to give by card from anywhere and to share the campaign with others. All routes go to the same project.

Can my masjid, business or family sponsor a larger part of the project?

Yes — call 612-919-5410 or email info@maghfirahcemetery.org. We welcome pledges, matching gifts, and community fundraisers on behalf of Al-Maghfirah.
