Ansarudeen Islamic Center of New York Ansarudeen Islamic CenterWe are the servants of Allah: In the name of Allah, the infinitely compassionate and Merciful, Peace be upon His servant and messenger Muhammad. In Surah Aal-i-Imran verse 52, when Prophet Isa (AS) said: "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" The disciples said: "We are Allah\'s helpers: We believe in Allah and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.? Based on these verses, Ansarudeen was founded by Sheikh Ibrahim Niass (RA) in 1966 in Kaolack, Senegal to propagate Islam, promote mutual understanding, and better co-operation between all Muslims worldwide. Ansarudeen is a non-profit organization aiming to educate people, spread the teachings of Islam in the community, promote the Quranic school, build mosques, and help the poor and needy. The New York City branch of Ansarudeen located in the Bronx at 641 East 224 Street, Bronx NY 10466 is set to carry out this message throughout communities. Through the leadership and guidance of Sheikh Ibrahima Niass Ibn Sheikh Ahmed Dame Niass (RA) Ibn Sheikh Ibrahima Niass, we are on the verge of renovating the whole building from the ground up. We, the members of Ansarudeen with the help of some good Muslims managed to pay off the mortgage. We have a mosque, a Quranic school, and social apartments for guests or the needy. The building is close to 100 years old, so it's very old and is deteriorating. Our main goal is to build a newer, better, and more modern building in which the mosque will be separated from the Quranic school and the conference room. We also want to have a couple of apartments for guests or the needy. In 2019 on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, the masjid burnt down and the insurance company denied us our claim. Through the help of the Muslims in the community, we managed to start fixing the masjid, but we still have a lot of reparation to do. For the sake of Allah, we are seeking financial help to start the project of the New York City Branch of Ansarudeen. JazakAllahu Khayran
