Assalamu Alaikum Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It began with one simple act: a Georgetown family opening their home for daily salah

A few Muslims came. Then more families with their children. What began in one family's home became something we had been longing for. A community. 

Last Ramadan, Alhamdulillah, four local huffadh led taraweeh, and we completed the Quran with 150+ people in attendance. Since then, we have held weekly jumuah (20+ weeks so far), community events, sister's meetups, and weekly Fajr in jama'ah. 

We are no longer an idea. We have become a community that shows up. Our community needs a home.

We Pray Where We Can

The nearest masjid is 25+ minutes away, so we gather wherever space is available.

We dream of a home where the adhan is called, where children learn Quran, and where generations grow up connected to Allah. By this upcoming Ramadan, we expect to have tripled in size.

Georgetown is Growing

Georgetown's population has grown 2.25 times since 2010, from 47,400 people to 106,907, and it is still climbing.

• #1 fastest-growing U.S. city (over 50,000 people) for consecutive years; it grew 14.4% in a single year, 2021 to 2022 (Community Impact).
• +58.5% since 2020, and still adding about 4.8% a year as of 2024 (Census QuickFacts; Yahoo/Census).
• The city's own 2030 high-growth projection was 110,064. Georgetown nearly reached it five years early (City of Georgetown).

Muslim families are settling in Williamson County due to the natural beauty that Allah has favored the area with. From caverns and quarries, to rivers and lakes, Georgetown has them all. Georgetown is also known to have breathtaking viewpoints of both sunrise and sunset. 

Our Goal

We are raising $1.5 million to own our land outright and open our first prayer structure. There will be no loans, no mortgage and no riba.

Why 100% cash? Every dollar you give becomes an asset the community owns outright. Nothing can be lost to a lender, and no future board inherits debt. A masjid with no debt can put its income into its people and its programs.

Built to last 100 years. Our goal is a self-sustaining masjid serving Muslims in Georgetown and the surrounding area, including Leander. The land plan leaves room for future growth, so the masjid can one day support itself and not depend on emergency appeals. Your gift is the foundation of that sadaqah jariyah, a continuing charity that can carry your reward for generations.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise." (Sahih al-Bukhari 450, Sahih Muslim 533)

"When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him." (Sahih Muslim 1631)

A masjid in Georgetown can hold all three: the charity of the building, the knowledge taught in it, and the children raised in it.

Why this matters to every Muslim in Texas

You may live in Austin, Houston, Dallas or San Antonio, but Georgetown's masjid is your masjid too.

• It will be accessible from I-35. Georgetown is on the main road between Austin and Dallas–Fort Worth. Every family driving that corridor will have a clean, welcoming place to stop and pray.
• Central Texas is where Texas is growing. Your children, siblings and friends may be the next family to move north of Austin. Build the masjid before they arrive.
• The reward isn't local. Sadaqah jariyah counts as deeds for you no matter where you live or for how long. As long as people are benefiting and prays on this land, Allah has promised us an ongoing reward
• Your gift goes further here. We are committed to making this masjid self-sustaining

This is Your Moment

Take a simple action. 

• Give to please Allah and to seek His reward
• Pray for our community's success
• Share to let others benefit in the rewards that Allah has in store of us. Indeed, Allah is the most Generous.

JazakAllahu Khairan,

ICLG Families and ICLG Board of Directors

FAQ

Is my donation tax-deductible? 

Yes (for United States only). Islamic Center of Lake Georgetown (ICLG) is a registered 501(c)(3) public charitable organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our EIN is 42-2546312.

What happens if we don't raise the full amount? 

While we expect to meet our goal in full, InshaAllah, we are on a strict deadline to raise $1 million to complete the purchase of the land by January, 2027. Missing our goal risks losing access to the specific property we have under contract. In such a situation, we will continue to seek alternate opportunities utilize the funds already collected towards the purchase. Rest assured that all funds collected towards building Islamic Center of Lake Georgetown (ICLG), will InshaAllah, be used towards acquiring and building of the masjid even if it isn't in the exact same spot.
