BUILDING BLOCKS OF ISLAM Highlight on our projects KNOW YOUR MUSLIM NEIGHBOR PRESENTATIONS Community Education Presentations on Islam at different locations Rebuilding Hope, One Family at a Time. Highlights from our 2023 to 2025 State Fair Dawah Booth A tribute to all our volunteers and supporters who work behind the scenes – unseen – to bring change to our community. Our Mission To aid self development, promote activism, and bolster community building A 501-c3 non profit organization, Building Blocks provides a platform for all concerned Muslims to practically apply Islamic principles and work together for the community’s advancement through the provision of social, educational, and religious services, as well as outreach programs to build bridges of mutual understanding with other communities. Our Social Services are open to all people regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, creed or any other discriminatory factor prohibited by law. Our Vision and Values “Community Building through enlivening the Sunnah” We strive to enliven the example of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and the early generations of Muslims who “lived Islam” in every aspect of their lives. Islam provides the perfect roadmap for moral and social advancement and we envision vibrant and healthy environments where Islam’s lessons on charity are embraced and transformed into action on a daily basis for the good of all. Sound communities are created out of shared effort and responsibility – each action by or for the sake of each individual is like a “building block” that reinforces the community. Thus, we aim to bring Muslims from all backgrounds to work together for the community’s well-being through means that are supported by authentic Islamic teachings – to enjoin good, help those in need, and above all, follow the commandments of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala)
