Build the first
Masjid
in Eastvale

“Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Jannah.” Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Sahih al-Bukhari 450

The challenge

Hundreds of Muslim families
have no local masjid

Eastvale, Ontario Ranch, and Chino are home to a thriving and growing Muslim community — yet the nearest mosque is over 20 minutes away in every direction.

Imagine waking up for Fajr and driving 20 minutes just to pray in congregation. Imagine your children growing up without an Islamic center they can call their own. Imagine a city of nearly 70,000 people — ranked the #7 best place for families in the United States — with no masjid of its own.

That is Eastvale today. The Islamic Society of Eastvale was founded to change that — and now, for the first time, we have a real opportunity to do so. This Islamic center will serve not just Eastvale, but the entire growing region of Ontario Ranch and Chino as well.

Why now

A community of thousands —
with no masjid to call home

This isn't just about Eastvale. The Muslim families of Ontario Ranch and Chino are growing rapidly — and all of them face the same 20+ minute commute. This Islamic center will serve the entire region, and we may never get another chance to build it.

Eastvale
One of California's fastest-growing cities, ranked #7 in the US for families. 95% of land already developed — making this a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Ontario Ranch
Among the largest master-planned communities in Southern California, with tens of thousands of new homes and a rapidly expanding Muslim population.
Chino
A well-established Muslim community that is overflowing and in need of more space — especially families in Eastvale-adjacent areas like Chino Preserve who deserve a masjid closer to home.
🏗️

95% of land already developed

Eastvale is nearly fully built out. Parcels large enough for a masjid and Islamic center are virtually impossible to find.

⏱️

Land is in escrow — limited time

Escrow closes in August — we must raise the funds before then. After this window closes, the opportunity may not return.

📐

2.39 acres — a rare find

Large enough for a full masjid, sports courts, parking, library, café, and community event spaces.

💰

$2.2M total cost

We seek 20 donors at $100K and 40 donors at $50K. Qard hasan (interest-free loans) also accepted.

The vision

More than a mosque —
a home for the community

Community members have spoken. Based on our needs assessment, here is what we are building together.

🕌

Open prayer hall

A spacious, well-ventilated space for all five daily prayers and Jumu'ah.

🏀

Sports & recreation

Multi-purpose courts and an indoor gym with dedicated women-only hours.

Café & cafeteria

On-site dining with indoor seating — a place to gather after prayer.

📚

Library

An Islamic library and study space for students, families, and learners.

🎉

Event spaces

Rentable halls for weddings, aqiqahs, graduations, and celebrations.

🛝

Playground

A safe outdoor space for the children of our community to play and grow.

The plan

Our path forward

1

Close escrow on 2.39 acres ($2.2M)

Escrow closes in August — your donation now is what makes this purchase possible before the deadline.

2

Establish a Musallah immediately

Upon closing, we will update the existing structure to hold 5 daily prayers right away — so the community has a home from day one.

3

Design and build the full Islamic Center

With a permanent home secured, we will work with the community to design and build the full masjid and Islamic center.
