From a gym to a house of worship.
In December 2025, after years of prayer and planning, SALAM secured the Arden Center — a building in the heart of one of Sacramento’s fastest-growing Muslim neighborhoods, just minutes from California State University, Sacramento.
It was a gym. Open floor, fluorescent lights, an industrial bones. We saw what it could become.
For the past five months, a quiet team of volunteers, contractors, and staff have been transforming the space — painting every wall, opening up the multipurpose room into a true prayer hall, repaving the parking lot, fixing the fire system, adding doors and exits, and bringing the bathrooms up to standard.
Phase I is almost complete. The space is ready to hold its first community moment.
“Arden Center is being cultivated as a warm and welcoming home-away-from-home — rooted in accessible faith, sincere suhba, and intentional spiritual-social programming for the next generation.”
Built by the community, for the community.
This is what your du‘a, your dollars, and your hands have built so far. None of it would exist without you.
The multipurpose room — once an open gym floor — is now a prayer hall, floors installed, walls freshly painted, ready to hold our community for Jumuah and everything that follows. The bathrooms have been renovated for prayer-readiness. The parking lot has been repaved and restriped, and the fire system, doors, and exits are all brought to code so we can welcome you safely from day one.
Friday, June 5 is the start, not the finish.
Phase I gets us through the doors. Phase II is where the daily life of the Arden Center begins.
A place for youth, young adults, and families to find belonging through prayer, worship, Islamic learning, and community.
Accessible, relevant, dignified — Islam taught and lived with clarity and warmth.
Sincere companionship rooted in faith, worship, and service.
A place that forms people — spiritually, intellectually, and communally.
What “soft opening” means.
For now, the Arden Center is open for Jumuah only. Every Friday, starting June 5, insha’a Allah. The rest of Phase II is being built thoughtfully over the coming months.
Build something that outlasts all of us.
SALAM purchased the Arden building to seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity for our community. Now we’re inviting you to help replenish that capital and bring the Arden Center to full life.

Our first Jumuah
Alhamdulillah, on Friday, June 5, the Arden Center held its very first Jumuah. The prayer hall — once an open gym floor — filled with worshippers for the first time, a moment years of prayer and planning had been building toward. Jazakum Allahu khayran to everyone who came, gave, and made du‘a to bring us here. This is just the beginning, insha’a Allah — Jumuah now continues every Friday.
Cleaning Day, alhamdulillah
This past weekend the SALAM community came together to clean and prepare the Arden Center ahead of our first Jumuah. Thank you to everyone who showed up. Next: our first Jumuah, Friday, June 5 at 1:15 pm, insha’a Allah.
Soft opening announced
Alhamdulillah — Phase I is almost complete. The Arden Center will hold its first Jumuah on Friday, June 5, insha’a Allah. Save the date for Cleaning Day on Saturday, May 23. Join the WhatsApp group for everything that comes next.

Repairs underway
The SALAM Arden Center is already transforming. Repairs are underway, details are clicking into place, and the vision is becoming a reality. A huge thank you to the team working behind the scenes — it’s hard work fueled by a lot of heart. They’re preparing a space that will hold:
Prayer · Learning · Youth · Families · Community
We ask for your du‘a for ease and barakah as we enter this next phase. Stay tuned for more, insha’a Allah.
Renovations underway
Alhamdulillah, renovations are underway. The space is being prepared for prayer, learning, and community gatherings. We’ll post updates here as we move toward opening, insha’a Allah.
