Building Construction

Lets Build Our masjid, Together

Once in a lifetime opportunity

A masjid that stood the test of times for 2 decades, now needs your help.

Edison Muslim Community Center (EMCC) stands as a beacon for the Muslim community in the bustling heart of South Edison, NJ, embracing a diverse and expanding congregation. For nearly 2 decades, EMCC has dedicated its efforts to establishing a masjid in the South area of Edison, NJ, drawing ever closer to making this vision a reality.

Alhamdulillah, The Edison Muslim Community Center (EMCC) currently owns the 157 Plainfield Ave, Edison, NJ property, where a permanent masjid will be constructed in the property, which includes a brand-new building, expanded parking lot and expansion of the existing building.

EMCC will be acquiring the adjacent neighboring property 159 Plainfield Avenue, Edison, NJ as a future proof strategic plan to facilitate the construction of a new, expanded masjid facility and the parking lot. This strategic acquisition is essential to our comprehensive $3 million construction project, which will secure the overall investment and the required parking space.
The masjid construction and development is approximately a 3-year project and will be done in five (5) phases.

  1. Phase 1 – Loan Payment, Township and County Approval (COMPLETED)
  2. Phase 2 – Acquisition of the neighboring property (IN-PROGRESS)
  3. Phase 3 – Initial permits, Demolition, and Construction of the foundation (Q1, 2026)
  4. Phase 4 – Construction of the Elevation, Plumbing, Electricals, and internal finishes
  5. Phase 5 – Construction of the Exterior walls, insulation, parking lot, landscaping & final permits.

This meticulous effort requires human power, funds, and technology.

Why we need a masjid in South edison, NJ

Travel Distance:Β Establishing a masjid in the south Edison region has been long overdue, there are no masjids in the vicinity and the nearest masjid is approximately 15 – 20 mins away at minimum depending on the time of travel and traffic conditions.

Permanent Location:Β Since, the property was closed in 2019, we have been renting a nearby Jewish center to conduct our masjid activities, including 5-daily prayers, Jumma, Family gatherings, Ramadan activities kids’ programs and more.

Large Muslim Population:Β To passionately embrace and serve the growing Muslim population in the area. There are 200+ Muslim families of various ethnicity in the vicinity. (South Asian, African, East Asian, Middle Eastern, and more)

A center for Excellence:Β To effectively play its role as an essential element for nurturing a healthy & ethical society that will be strong in faith, tolerance, mutual respect & equality.
