In the heart of Narre Warren, Al-Itqan Academy has embarked on a transformative journey to turn an old church into a vibrant mosque and Quran Education Centre. Starting in 2019 with just 10 students , the academy quickly grew, reflecting the increasing needs of Melbourne’s Muslim community.
After purchasing the church for $1.5 million , they now face the challenge of raising an additional $1.94 million for renovations. This project isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about building a legacy of faith and education.
Join us in making this vision a reality —your support can lay the foundation for future generations.
