SADAQAH JARIYAH

For Muslims, the building of a mosque, or contributing towards it, is one of the most virtuous forms of
Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) that Allah SWT has bestowed upon us.
Sadaqah Jariyah will benefit the donor long after they have died. We pray that you will take up this
opportunity to invest in your Aakhira (the after life).
When a person dies, then his good deeds stop except for three: a Sadaqah Jariyah,
a beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for that person.

Bellevue Mosque and Multi-Purpose Building

INTRODUCTION
The Muslims in Nashville are well diverse with ethnic representations mainly from Kurdistan, Somalia,
Afghanistan, Palestine, Middle East, North Africa, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia and
United States, and many others from Yemen, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Oman, Kuwait as well as
African countries. Yet, the community is quite cohesive, well organized and closely tied together.

The Muslim community of Nashville kept growing at a fast rate throughout the 90s when we were
blessed to have an influx of Kurdish and Somalians move to Nashville. In 1995, the ICN bought a 10.6
acre land on Charlotte Pike near exit 199 off of I-40 West. Development of this land constitutes the core
of the present day challenge for this community. Besides the mosque, ICNs major achievements include
the purchase of land for Muslim graveyard, the purchase of land for Muslim Community Complex for a
full-time Islamic school, community center and mosque, the establishment of a full-time Islamic school
(founded in 1995) as well as a weekend Islamic school, and the launching of many other social, religious
and educational activities. On December 1, 2008, the first phase of the new school building was
completed and opened, from Pre-K thru 6th grades.
Plans have been approved by Board of Zoning of the Nashville City Council for a purpose to built
new Mosque and Multipurpose/Gymnasium Building on the 7335 Charlotte Pike Nashville TN 37209,
about 10 miles from Nashville downtown. The property is located in a large fast growing Muslim
community within a primarily residential neighborhood.The proposed mosque will be constructed on
the west side of the existing school facilities. The new facility is desperately needed for the needs of
the growing Muslim Community Bellevue Area.
The Mosque will accommodate 450 people in prayer hall. Mosque will also have for brothers and
sisters Separate entries,Restrooms,Vudu areas,Coat/shoe areas. Offices,Staircase and elevator to
lowerlevels.
Multi-Purpose building and Gymnasium will include Basketball court,Youth activity room,
Cafeteria,Commercial kitchen,Restrooms,Separate entries,Storage and Mechanical spaces.
Excisting parking lots will be reconfigured and additional lotswill be constructed near proposed
building to accommodate more vehicles.
We look forward to continuing our work towards promoting Islam as a peaceful, tolerant and
inspirational religion for future generations.
