The first permanent mosque in Mayagüez - bringing authentic Islam to a community that has waited long enough.
Mayagüez is Puerto Rico's third-largest city with a growing Muslim community - yet no permanent place of worship. Families are praying in makeshift spaces. Children have no Islamic center to grow up in. This changes now.
The Muslim population in Mayagüez and surrounding municipalities has been growing steadily - but lacks the infrastructure to sustain and grow the community.
The nearest established mosque is far from the city center. Families in Mayagüez have no local, permanent place to perform Friday prayers, celebrate Eid, or gather for Islamic education.
Without a masjid, Muslim children in Mayagüez grow up without a community center for Quran classes, Islamic education, or a sense of belonging.
The secured land in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico - where the masjid will be built, In shaa Allah.
Alhamdulillah - the land for the Mayagüez Masjid has already been secured. This is the foundation upon which everything will be built. Now we need the funds to raise the walls, roof the structure, and open the doors.
A member of the Mayagüez Muslim community speaks about what a permanent masjid would mean for the families who have waited far too long. This is not just a building. It is a home for every Muslim family in western Puerto Rico who has driven over an hour just to make Jumu'ah.
