Project History

A shura proposal, approved by Huzur-e-Anwar, MKA USA has been looking for its first HQ for almost 2 years. Per the shura proposal, a property sub-committee had seen numerous properties and has been working closely with a real estate agent and local authorities to find our first home. Alhamdolillah, we now have an accepted offer for cash payment to purchase our new home.

Importance of our Home:

  • Huzur-e-Anwar has blessed this project
  • A place to call our home to serve as guesthouse & may have offices, get-togethers or meetings within the understandings set by HOA/neighborhood. 
  • MKA needs have outgrown facilities available at Baitur Rahman
  • Only western Majlis without any HQ or a guest house
  • Walking distance from Baitur Rehman Mosque
  • MKA to request Huzur-e-Anwar to inaugurate in 2020 inshallah (Pending Huzur’s trip/approval)
  • In celebration of 100 years of the USA Jama’at
