"Peace be upon you, dwellers of these graves of the Muslims and the believers. We will join you
when Allah wills. You are our predecessors and we will be your followers. We ask Allah's forgiveness for us and for you. O Allah, forgive them and have mercy on them." [Muslim]

Muslims have been residing in Minnesota for more than 30 years. Our
numbers are growing. But in spite of the demographic changes we have not been able to establish a cemetery that is exclusively for Muslims. Minnesota is home to Muslim immigrants originating from over 40 different nations. Until now we have been burying our loved ones in extensions of existing non Muslim cemeteries or sending them back to their countries of origin to be buried. 

Now is our opportunity to secure a resting place owned and operated by our
own muslim communities. After 8 years of legal fights we finally have secured 70 acres of land in Castle Rock, MN to begin construction. The first stage of the development process begins in March 2023 and is set to conclude in August 2023. This is estimated to cost 4.3 Million Dollars. With your help we can give our loved ones for generations to come the proper islamic burial they deserve.
