Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatu Allah!
Alahamdu lillah last Thursday 2/1/90 the land for cemetery has been purchased
and aprox. ~$30,000 has been collected from various brothers/sisters some
families have cooked food and others made products that where sold and
the procedes went to the cemetery.
the second phase of this project has started and we need to collect
$30,000 to $35,000 to do the following:
1-subdivide the land and lay the grave sites.
2-make a parking lot for cars.
3-build a building on the site to house cemetery materials such as doc.
digging tools, etc..
4-transform the basement of the Masjid in Corvallis into a makeshift
funeral home where bodies can be washed and prepared for burial according
to Islamic Sharia'.
We encourage all muslims to participate and send there contribution and/or
make Du'aa for the success of this task. To my knowledge, this will
be the first cememtery dedicated to muslims in the west coast and maybe
the second in the US. the first one is somewhere in the midwest but
not sure exactely in which state. Somebody else on the net might know!!!
