Building a New Home for Faith: The Future of St. Albert Mosque
Alhamdulillah, the Muslim community in St. Albert has flourished beyond expectations. What began as a small congregation in a rented space has grown into a thriving community, bringing together families, youth, and individuals who seek a deeper connection with their faith. As our numbers continue to increase, so does the need for a larger, purpose-built masjid—a space that can truly serve our community’s spiritual and educational needs for generations to come.
A Vision for the Future
With this growth comes an exciting new chapter: the construction of a 22,000+ square foot masjid that will stand as a beacon of faith, unity, and service. This new masjid is more than just a place for prayer; it is a sanctuary for worship, learning, and community engagement. Designed with both tradition and modern needs in mind, it will provide the space and resources necessary to support daily prayers, Jummah, Islamic education, youth programs, and outreach initiatives.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Sahih Bukhari & Muslim)
This hadith reminds us of the immense reward and significance of contributing to the establishment of a masjid. By supporting this project, we are not just building walls and a roof—we are building a legacy that will benefit generations of Muslims in St. Albert and beyond.
Why We Need a New Masjid
The current space has served us well, but it is no longer sufficient for the needs of our growing congregation. A new masjid will allow us to:
• Accommodate a larger number of worshippers, especially during Jummah, Ramadan, and Eid prayers
• Provide dedicated spaces for Islamic education, Quran classes, and youth programs
• Host community gatherings and initiatives that foster charity, learning, and engagement
• Offer better facilities for women and families, ensuring inclusivity and comfort
• Strengthen our role in interfaith dialogue and civic engagement within the broader St. Albert community
