Bismillah, As Salaam Alaikum This is an appeal to help establish a Masjid in Puerto Rico. Hispanics are one of the fastest growing groups in Islam and Imam Yusef Masionet of Mobile Alabama, is in the forefront of the effort to introduce and promote Islam in the Hispanic community.
Brother Yusef and I spent six weeks together in 2007 in an Imams Training Program in the United Arab Emiretes and he has been working hard propogating Islam to Hispanics before, during and after that program. The establishment of a new Masjid in Puerto Rico is a major effort in this work. You can send contributions or request additional information at the following contacts: . The initial goal is to raise $2000 to fund the expenses of the first trip to Puerto Rico. Please consider making a personal donation of making an announcement and a request for donation at your respective Masajids and Islamic Centers.
