HELP SUPPORT HISTORIC MASJID WALI MUHAMMAD DURING COVID-19 

Like many other Masjids around the world, Historic Masjid Wali Muhammad has been effected by the COVID -19's  State of Michigan Stay-At-Home Order, in which we had to close our doors to stay safe and help flatten the curve of the virus.

The Masjid's Closure has negatively effected our funding to operate the Masjid. The last 10 Nights of Ramadan we ask for your help in support to maintain this Historic Masjid located in the Heart of Detroit, MI.

Our goal is to raise $20,000
