Why we need a new masjid?

Alhamdullilah, the Muslim community of Fort Collins has experienced dramatic growth since its humble beginnings as a small student group in the 1970’s. The current Islamic Center:

is too small to accommodate our current student and resident population,
threatens the lives of the sisters and children that use its deteriorating basement for prayer,
can not be expanded to meet the current and future needs of the community.

In addition, because the Fort Collins/northern Colorado area is one of the most desirable and rapidly expanding places to live in the U.S., we anticipate that the Muslim community will continue to grow and diversify. A proper masjid and Islamic Center would strengthen the northern Colorado ummah by providing a safe, spacious, inspirational building for prayer, education, outreach, and community activities.
