The objectives of this proposal are
A survey conducted in July 2015 showed a high demand for a new, larger masjid that would better suit the community’s needs for gatherings, security, Eid celebrations, Islamic education, interfaith meetings, and community outreach. Financial support for the proposed masjid is promising.
American Momin Park, Inc (AMP) will be available for the following religious and community activities:
Founding members generously donated and purchased a 5.5 acre plot of land at 1441 S Farm Road, 133, Springfield, MO 65807 in 2016 and committed substantial funds to the masjid construction. The land is located at the corners of W Sunshine and W. Bye Pass Road classified as Commercial Zone. This area already includes three Christian churches.
Insha Allah, the proposed masjid is designed for 8,000 Square feet area plus a 2,450 square feet mezzanine floor. To accommodate 500 people, it will consist of separate male and female prayer halls, spacious lobby, a conference/dining multipurpose hall, a full kitchen, a female dining area, sisters /brothers ablution area, unisex baby diaper changing rest room, storage, a library, Muslim cemetery with 900 burial spots, Janaza Wudu facility next to cemetery, and 200+ car parks in the Phase I Project.
Islamic school classrooms, an Imam living room, a stay area for people during Arafat, and a multipurpose community hall are planned for 4,000-5,000 square feet in Phase II of the project.
Additionally, the facilities and parking areas will include security and safety features such as wireless security alarms, motion detectors, door, window and equipment sensors, fire alarms, security cameras, fencing, and remote monitoring to protect the masjid from vandalism and theft.
Pre-Construction works
Design tasks such as topography and boundary surveys were already completed. To obtain approval for the Muslim cemetery, the land’s commercial zone was re-zoned as a Plot Assignment District (PAD) zone for the new Masjid, Islamic school, community center, and Muslim cemetery via a Green County public hearing.
Civil, architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and site wastewater treatment system (No sewer line is available near our land) design works were completed in 18 months. Alhumdhulillah finally we have obtained a building permit and grading permit.
During Oct 2021, we broke the ground to get community momentum to kick start the project. Springfield City Mayor, city officers, and members of other faith attended and participated in the groundbreaking ceremony. Alhumdhulillah
Progress of Construction Works:
Most of the bushes/trees were cut and removed from the project site with the help of community members. In the cemetery area, several huge trees, tree stumps, and root bulbs (4-6 feet deep/32” diameter) were pulled out and the cemetery site is graded, levelled, smoothened. Insha Allah. Obtaining a privacy fent for the project site is in progress.
American Momin Park, Inc will be your masjid for several generations. Insha Allah. It purely depends on the Springfield Muslim community for its operational support. The Muslim community will be responsible for upkeep of the masjid facilities and cemetery. This will require everyone’s participation, teamwork, and generous contributions of funds to the masjid on a regular basis. Community members are responsible for using the facilities for their intended legal activities in a respectful manner.
As of Feb 2022, due to escalation of cost in construction materials and shortage of skilled labor the revised total estimate of [Main masjid building, 200+ car park, 900 spot cemetery, external grading & levelling works and privacy fences etc. including 5.5 acres land cost] for Phase I is $1,975,000. Fund raising is just starting, and over $ 826,000 has been raised [which includes insha Allah $200,000 firm commitments] so far at the time of preparing this brochure. We are therefore reaching out to our Muslim brothers and sisters, supporters, and friends both nationally and internationally to help us achieve our target.
