A Home for Generations

For over 30 years, SALAM has been a home for prayer, learning, and community. Generations have grown up here, praying in its halls, studying in its classrooms, and finding a sense of belonging within its walls.

Growth Is a Blessing and a Responsibility

Alhamdulillah, our community has grown tremendously. That growth is a blessing, but it also comes with responsibility. More families are looking for a place to connect, more children need classrooms, and more youth are searching for guidance and a safe space to call their own.

Outgrowing Fulton Avenue Area

In recent years, SALAM has also extended its reach by supporting the Fulton Avenue area, helping that neighborhood flourish. But even that space has now been outgrown, a sign of just how rapidly our community is expanding.

Expanding, Not Replacing

To meet these needs, SALAM is preparing to purchase a new property. This will not replace our current center; it will expand it. It will give us the room to continue serving at the level our community deserves, and to build something that future generations can inherit with pride.

A Community in Action

If you’ve been part of SALAM in recent years, you’ve seen it yourself: full prayer halls, classrooms overflowing with eager students, and programs filled to capacity. This growth is a sign of Allah’s blessing. But it’s also a reminder that our work isn’t done.

Just as those before us built SALAM to serve us, now it is our turn to invest in the future.

Your Role in This Legacy

For over three decades, SALAM has thrived because of Allah’s mercy and because of you, our community. Every program, every khutbah, every youth circle, and every smile from a child learning Qur’an has been possible because of your support.

Now, we ask you once more: stand with us as we take this next step. By supporting this new property, you are leaving a legacy. Every prayer, every lesson, every gathering in that new space will be part of your sadaqah jariyah.
