The funds raised by this campaign will go towards the construction and maintenance of mosques in communities that need them. 
The funds raised also help to support da'wah initiatives to educate our Muslim brothers and sisters and to call people to Islam.

This campaign is a Muslimi Foundation initiative in collaboration with Centretown Mosque—both are registered Canadian nonprofits.

Build a Masjid & Earn a Home in Jannah

In the heart of downtown Ottawa, a powerful transformation is underway. What was once a Church and a Chinese Christian Heritage Centre is now being revived into a beautiful masjid that will serve generations of Muslims, insha’Allah.

The largest mosque in Centretown will serve over 1,000 worshippers across the Ottawa-Gatineau region in Canada. The downpayment has been made and the Centretown community has started to pray in it, but they need to urgently raise $2.5M by October 2025 to fully secure the building RIBA-FREE.

A Growing Ummah—A Desperate Need for Space

Ottawa’s Muslim population is rapidly growing—and downtown has no permanent masjid. Muslims are left without a consistent place to pray, learn, or connect.

That’s why the Centretown Mosque project is critical. The community has purchased a historic 10,000+ square foot building. Now we must renovate it into a fully operational House of Allah.

🧒 Youth and children’s spaces for mentorship and learning
🤝 A multi-purpose facility for da’wah, events, and community services
🕌 A permanent home for Jumu’ah, Taraweeh, Eid, and every daily prayer

The Goal: $2.5 Million by October 2025

We’ve secured the building—but renovations, permits, and final construction need urgent funding.

We must raise $2.5 million by October 2025—and we’re counting on the Ummah in to help us get there.

“Who Will Build Allah’s House in Centretown?”

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

How is my Zakat money spent? Who is it spent on?

The Zakat donations that we receive from our donors are distributed among Zakat eligible patients for whichever treatment they are receiving from Indus Health Network facilities.

What are your guidelines for distributing Zakat Donations?

The Indus Hospital provides quality care without any discrimination, free of cost through the support of your Zakat and Donations.

With the help of reputable Sharia Scholars, The Indus Hospital (TIH) has developed a criterion to ascertain if Zakat is applicable to a certain individual. Whenever a patient visits the Indus Hospital, he/she goes through the assessment with TIH’s welfare officer to determine if the patient is eligible for Zakat or not.

Once the recipient of Zakat is identified, their MR number is marked to signify that the patient’s treatment should be supported from Zakat account. The patient is requested to sign a declaration granting the Indus Hospital permission to collect Zakat on their behalf and to use that Zakat to sponsor the treatment of his/her and/or other patients or hospital requirements. Once the patient is discharged, hospital generates an internal bill and sends it to the Zakat Committee for settlement.
