Community Impact & Benefits

The Aqeeqah is an act of gratitude to Allah, a means of charity, and a blessed way to welcome a child into the Muslim community. By performing this Sunnah, families express thankfulness and receive spiritual blessings for their newborn. The celebration also strengthens family bonds and creates an environment of joy and togetherness.

Our role is to help families fulfill this Sunnah with ease and understanding. Through guidance, support, and community involvement, the Aqeeqah becomes not only a ritual, but a meaningful spiritual experience that brings loved ones together and introduces the newborn to a caring and connected community.

It’s the type of community that helps you when in your low points in life. And to provide the friendship, advice, and religious accommodations you need.

I am now 22, and have been to many other mosques around the country and even a few in Africa. However, the community of this masjid is like no other. Every time I come back here, it feels like I’m coming back home. May Allah continue to bless this community

Alhamdulilah came for the month of Ramadan to lead the taraweeh prayers from abroad and the hospitality kindness and work of the brothers here has been absolutely amazing. Not only is the youth very involved with the masjid but the community is very lively and always giving a helping hand.

This masjid started as the first masjid for people in Shirley and mastic within a 20 minute radius. Since that day it has grown to a masjid of a few hundred and soon enough, a few thousand. During this journey the masjid has housed dozens, fed thousands, and reverted countless. This masjid is the heart of the ummah in this area.
