Markaz ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān

🚧 Phase Two Has Begun 🚧 The old floor panels have been removed, and the space is now being prepared for painting as we continue the renovations at Markaz ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān. Based on the quotes and estimates we have received so far, we are setting an estimated Phase Two fundraising goal of $12,500. This phase will cover painting, new carpet and installation for both musallās, new baseboards and trim, a new door between the brothers’ and sisters’ musallā areas, and the remaining finishing work needed for this stage. The brothers will be handling the painting themselves, alḥamdulillāh, which will help us save significantly on labor. We hope to raise the needed amount as soon as possible so the work can continue without unnecessary delays and we can stay on track toward opening, in shāʾ Allāh. Please consider contributing and sharing the fundraiser. Help us establish an Islamic daʿwah center in the Tampa Bay area upon the Qurʾān and authentic Sunnah, according to the understanding of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ. 💵 Cash App: $MarkazUthman 📧 PayPal & Zelle: markazibnaffan@gmail.com May Allāh accept from everyone who contributes, place barakah in their wealth, and make their support a source of ongoing reward.

Alḥamdulillāh, by Allāh’s tawfīq and then through your generous support, the full $7,500 needed for Phase One has been raised. The wall relocation and drywall work are now essentially complete. May Allāh reward every brother and sister who donated, shared, made duʿāʾ, or helped with the renovations. Jazākum Allāhu khayran. We are now preparing for Phase Two, which will include painting, preparing the floors and installing carpet in both musallās, installing a new door between the brothers’ and sisters’ musallā areas, completing the baseboards and trim, and handling the remaining finishing work for this stage. We are currently finalizing quotes and will announce the official Phase Two fundraising goal shortly. Donations toward Phase Two are already open so we can keep the momentum going and stay on track toward opening the center, in shāʾ Allāh. Help us establish Markaz ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān as a masjid and center of learning in the Tampa Bay area upon the Qurʾān and authentic Sunnah, according to the understanding of the Salaf, where the prayers are established and the foundations of the religion are taught. 💵 Cash App: $MarkazUthman 📧 PayPal & Zelle: markazibnaffan@gmail.com

📣 TONIGHT‼️ 📚 Important Lessons for Every Muslim ⏰ 7:00 PM EDT 🎙️ Read by: Khalīl al-Filasṭīnī 📻 Live on the Markaz ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān Telegram channel: t.me/centralfldawah

The drywall is now up and the finishing work is underway. We’re another step closer to completing this phase and preparing Markaz ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān for opening. So far, alḥamdulillāh, we’ve raised $5,625 of the $7,500 needed, leaving only $1,875 remaining. This is one of several important phases that must be completed before we can open. Once this is finished, we can continue with the remaining work and stay on track toward opening the center, in shāʾ Allāh. Help us establish an Islamic center in the Tampa Bay area upon the Qurʾān and authentic Sunnah, upon the understanding of the Salaf. We hope every contribution will be a source of ongoing reward as people establish the prayers, learn Qurʾān, and benefit from classes teaching the foundations of their religion. We are now just $1,875 away from completing this phase. Just 4 people giving $500 would cover the remaining amount. Help us finish this phase so we can begin the next and keep the renovations progressing. 💵 Cash App: $MarkazUthman 📧 PayPal: markazibnaffan@gmail.com

Due to unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s lesson on Important Lessons for Every Muslim has been canceled. We encourage our brothers and sisters to revise and review notes from the previous lessons. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

After completing the necessary electrical work and installing the outlets, the drywall is now going up on the relocated wall. So far, alḥamdulillāh, we’ve raised $4,953 of the $7,500 needed for this first phase, leaving just $2,547 remaining. We’re very close to completing this phase. Around 6 people giving $500, 13 people giving $200, or 26 people giving $100 would be enough to cover the remaining balance, in shāʾ Allāh. Help us finish this phase so we can move on to the remaining renovations needed to prepare the center for opening. 💵 Cash App: $MarkazUthman 📧 PayPal: markazibnaffan@gmail.com

The work continues to move forward. The new wall has been framed, and the electrical outlets are now being installed before the drywall goes up. Over the weekend, alḥamdulillāh, we raised $4,523 of the $7,500 needed for this first phase, leaving just $2,977 remaining. That means if just 6 people give $500, or 30 people give $100, this phase can be fully covered, in shāʾ Allāh. We’re very close. Please help us finish covering this phase so the work can continue moving forward. 💵 Cash App: $MarkazUthman 📧 PayPal: markazibnaffan@gmail.com
