Help us expand the Masjid for Muslims living and visiting Contra Costa County in the San Francisco Bay Area!


As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah!

The Islamic Center of Contra Costa (ICCC) is in purchase agreement to acquire an additional property. 

Alhamdulillah, with the help of Allah swt and your generous contributions, we purchased our southern neighbor's property to fulfill City requirements for expansion and renovation of the Masjid. We've submitted a set of drawings to the City and are currently revising the plans per their comments. In the midst of permitting, the Masjid came across an opportunity to purchase our other neighbor's property (located to the west). Alhamdulillah, we are in purchase agreement to obtain the western property (currently a real estate office) for $625,000. All funds are due on August 27. This property will complete the Masjid's new parcel, provide additional parking, a driveway on Clayton Road, and options to repurpose the newly acquired building or further expand the main building. 

ICCC is conveniently located in downtown Concord, CA, a short walk from the City's BART station. The Masjid was established in 1986, expanded in 1998, and then expanded once more in 2003. Our humble community has grown exponentially and there is a major need to expand and upgrade our facilities to meet current community needs.

The new, fully renovated and expanded Masjid will double in size and include:

  • 2nd floor addition for sisters & brothers
  • New shared kitchen for brothers and sisters
  • Brothers' main entrance and hallway widened to 15'
  • 2 entrances/exits for sisters and 3 for brothers
  • New mortuary for washing and storage of mayyit
  • Separate warehouse for food drive program
  • Minaret and pitched roof
  • Spacious parking lot with access to Clayton Rd.
  • Additional classroom space for school and hifz
  • Recreational space for iftars and events

Help build the House of Allah! Uthman ibn Affan reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.” Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 450. ICCC is a registered 501C3, non-profit organization with the state of California and IRS. The Federal Tax ID is 68-0389906. Your contributions are tax deductible.
