This campaign will collect all funds raised by October 30, 2017 at 1:00 PM EDT

Building a Masjid in the Hills Sydney will allow hundreds of Muslims to own a permanent place of worship instead of renting community halls and churches.


We are building a Masjid and we want to share the reward with you.

Our Prophet ﷺ said what means: “Whoever builds a Masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in Paradise.”   [Bukhari & Muslim].

One Step Closer!

Alhamdulillah in April 2017 the Hills District Muslim Society in Australia has committed to purchasing a Masjid Property centrally located in the Hills District suburb of Glenhaven.

  • 5 acres in Glenhaven.
  • Great size for onsite parking and future growth.
  • Centrally located.
  • Zoned to allow for a place of worship/community centre.
  • Purchase price AUD $3.8 million + stamp duty. (AUD $1.3 million already raised over the past few years)
  • 10% deposit paid in April 2017.
  • We need to raise AUD $2.7 million to complete the purchase InshaAllah.
To achieve our goal, we are working in different directions, offline and online, we've also broken the goal into smaller chunks to be easier to achieve in the first month.

A Little Bit About Our Beautiful Community

HDMS is a non-profit organisation established by dedicated Australian Muslims striving to serve our growing community in the North-West District of Sydney, Australia. Our members comprise of culturally diverse Sunni Muslims who live &/or work in the Hills District of Sydney.

One of the main concerns with current accommodations is there is not enough room for prayer in the men and women sections and therefore is not sustainable in the very near future as the community continues to grow. 

Prayer area for the men is at capacity

The women's areas is also beyond capacity


Spiritual and Physical Activities for the Youth: In addition to holding prayers five times daily in its current space, HDMS also organises Quran and Islamic studies for all ages and monthly community lectures. Sporting events and leisure activities are also a part of HMDS's program for the youth. 

HDMS regularly holds sporting events for the youth


Ramadan Program: During the month of Ramadan HDMS organises Iftar (meal to break the fast) and Taraweeh in order to bring the community together to share in collectively breaking the fast and standing in prayer together at night. 

 Iftar meal during Ramadan


Eid Celebration: HDMS always aims to make sure the Eid gathering is especially remarkable for the children by offering a variety of treats and activities such as face painting and games, and balloon art. 

A variety of games and activities are available for children on Eid

Balloon art is among the favourites for children during Eid celebrations
