“SURELY THE SALAH AT FIXED HOURS (OF THE DAY AND NIGHT)
HAS BEEN ENJOINED UPON THE BELIEVERS.”

In 2003, the seeds of a remarkable journey were sown in north carolina as a group of community members embarked on a mission to establish a masjid. The absence of a dedicated place of worship in the area stirred a collective resolve that would go on to inspire a remarkable tale of determination and unity. With unyielding commitment and the unwavering support of the community, the dream began to take shape. in 2017, a significant milestone was achieved when we secured the land for the masjid, thanks to generous contributions from within and outside the community. This marked the first tangible step toward their vision. Permits were obtained for the masjid in 2019, symbolizing a triumph of faith over obstacles. However, the unforeseen challenge of the pandemic temporarily halted progress, underscoring the community’s resilience. In 2022, with renewed determination and the backing of generous contributions, work on the masjid resumed. Currently, daily prayers are held in a furniture store, serving as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for a dedicated space of worship and community building. The vision for henderson masjid is simple yet profound: to create a sacred haven for daily salah and knowledge-sharing, uniting a diverse community in devotion and mutual understanding. As the journey continues, this place of worship promises to be a beacon of hope and unity for north carolina, inspiring individuals to contribute to its realization and become a part of this remarkable story of faith and perseverance.
