          How Darul Ihsan is currently doing….
After a long battle with the City of
Hamtramck, we received our business license in
March of 2012. The Madrasha has close to 100
students as of now, and has 7 classes. Each class
is divided by age group and level (knowledge).

As much as there is good news, there are also bad
news. Funding from donations are drying up
quickly, and the Madrasha is facing financial
difficulties. Spending has always been tracked
very closely, and estimates show that the
average amount being spent a month is $5,000
dollars.
Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, we:

-Bought 2 buildings and operating as a
full-time Madrasha.
-Raised close to $180,000 in 1 year.
-Ordained 4 Huffaz in 2011 and 2 more
will graduate in 2012.
-More than 100 students have completed
the Ta’limul Quran & Islam course.
-Currently have 100 students with 7 highly
qualified teachers and offering 7 classes.
-Arabic language class with grammar (Nahu
and Sarf).
-A future youth center (up-coming project)
that includes a gymnasium and
conference/banquet hall.
-Repaved the parking lot and installed new
front sign.
-Updated bathrooms and created 3 custom
Wudhu spaces.
-Changed the roof on 2nd building.
-Built a handicapped accessible ramp.

      New Roofing
      Required by the city. Our
        Madrasha needs new
  roofing, as rain water, and soon
   – melting snow, seeps in as it
     leaks. It has ruined our old
   carpet and needs to be taken
    care of, as soon as possible/

    Estimate - $10,000 or Less
Renovation Project



                      New Carpeting
                      We also need new carpeting
                     throughout the whole building.
                       Prayer rug style carpeting in
                     the main prayer hall, and lined
                        carpeting in the lobby and
                             basement floor.
                                Estimates:

                     Main Room & Lobby - $5,000
                            First Priority

                          Basement - $2,500
Renovation Project


                         Extending
                        Wudhu Room
                     There are only 3 wudhu spaces
                       in the wudhu room. With a
                       student body of almost 100
                      children and the many guests
                      we have - three aren’t doing
                     enough. The wudhu room was
                      newly constructed as soon as
                     the Madrasha was opened and
                     was built on a limited budget of
                                 $5,000.

                     To extend the room, we would
                          need another $5,000
Renovation Project

                   Finishing
                   Basement
                   The wudhu room and
              bathrooms, and office are in
              the basement. The basement
                   can hold two classes.
                  However, it is partially
              unfinished. The walls are old
                and dusty, and there is no
              flooring. There is only old tile
             flooring that used to be under
                     old dusty carpet.
            There is also a backroom that is
               completely unfinished. All it
               needs are wall paneling and
                carpeting. The basement
               needs energy efficient tube
                       lighting too.
                 Estimate - $5,000 or Less
Renovation Project



     Façade Update
        Although the least of our
        worries – The front of the
       building has not been ever
    redone and needs to be given a
     face lift. To make it look like an
    Islamic Center, it would be best
    to give it an Arabesque look on
        the outside using mosaic
         tiles, arches, and Islamic
      calligraphy. It looks uninviting
     and many people still can’t tell
    that it is an Islamic Center, even
             with the front sign.
        Estimate - $4,000 or Less
Renovation Project


                       Landscaping &
                        Parking Lot
                        The city of Hamtramck has
                     REQUIRED us to do landscaping
                     near the front of the parking lot
                     (a triangular area). The parking
                       lot was redone a few months
                       ago, but needs to be painted
                      again, as the concrete/asphalt
                      paint has washed away due to
                      rain. Landscaping should only
                      cost about $2,000 - Breaking
                        down ground, cement, brick
                      wall, shrubs and plants, and a
                               wooden sign.
Renovation Project


                       Handicapped
                        Bathroom
                        The city of Hamtramck has
                           REQUIRED us to have a
                           handicapped accessible
                      bathroom, since our bathroom
                       and Wudhu rooms are in the
                      lower level. There is a room in
                      the back of the Madrasha that
                     is almost bathroom ready. Tiles
                     are already on the walls, and a
                       sink (meaning that plumbing
                       and water pipes are easier to
                                 have access).
                            Estimate of $7,000 or
                          less, including labor and
                                   material.

  • 14. Current State How Darul Ihsan is currently doing….
  • 15. After a long battle with the City of Hamtramck, we received our business license in March of 2012. The Madrasha has close to 100 students as of now, and has 7 classes. Each class is divided by age group and level (knowledge). As much as there is good news, there are also bad news. Funding from donations are drying up quickly, and the Madrasha is facing financial difficulties. Spending has always been tracked very closely, and estimates show that the average amount being spent a month is $5,000 dollars.
  • 16. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, we: -Bought 2 buildings and operating as a full-time Madrasha. -Raised close to $180,000 in 1 year. -Ordained 4 Huffaz in 2011 and 2 more will graduate in 2012. -More than 100 students have completed the Ta’limul Quran & Islam course.

  • 24. What Needs To Be Done What your donations are going to do….
  • 25. The Qarde Hasanat Repayment Project Phase I Renovation Project
  • 26. Qarde Hasanat Repayment We have a total of $40,000 Dollars of Qarde Hasanat (interest free loans) from members of the community. We wish to pay them back as soon as possible.
  • 27. Renovation Project PHASE I Phase 1 will focus on the Madrasha and it’s interior.
  • 28. Renovation Project PHASE I • • • • • • • • • • •
  • 29. Renovation Project New Roofing Required by the city. Our Madrasha needs new roofing, as rain water, and soon – melting snow, seeps in as it leaks. It has ruined our old carpet and needs to be taken care of, as soon as possible/ Estimate - $10,000 or Less
  • 30. Renovation Project New Carpeting We also need new carpeting throughout the whole building. Prayer rug style carpeting in the main prayer hall, and lined carpeting in the lobby and basement floor. Estimates: Main Room & Lobby - $5,000 First Priority Basement - $2,500
  • 31. Renovation Project Extending Wudhu Room There are only 3 wudhu spaces in the wudhu room. With a student body of almost 100 children and the many guests we have - three aren’t doing enough. The wudhu room was newly constructed as soon as the Madrasha was opened and was built on a limited budget of $5,000. To extend the room, we would need another $5,000
  • 32. Renovation Project Finishing Basement The wudhu room and bathrooms, and office are in the basement. The basement can hold two classes. However, it is partially unfinished. The walls are old and dusty, and there is no flooring. There is only old tile flooring that used to be under old dusty carpet. There is also a backroom that is completely unfinished. All it needs are wall paneling and carpeting. The basement needs energy efficient tube lighting too. Estimate - $5,000 or Less
  • 33. Renovation Project Façade Update Although the least of our worries – The front of the building has not been ever redone and needs to be given a face lift. To make it look like an Islamic Center, it would be best to give it an Arabesque look on the outside using mosaic tiles, arches, and Islamic calligraphy. It looks uninviting and many people still can’t tell that it is an Islamic Center, even with the front sign. Estimate - $4,000 or Less
  • 34. Renovation Project Landscaping & Parking Lot The city of Hamtramck has REQUIRED us to do landscaping near the front of the parking lot (a triangular area). The parking lot was redone a few months ago, but needs to be painted again, as the concrete/asphalt paint has washed away due to rain. Landscaping should only cost about $2,000 - Breaking down ground, cement, brick wall, shrubs and plants, and a wooden sign.
  • 35. Renovation Project Handicapped Bathroom The city of Hamtramck has REQUIRED us to have a handicapped accessible bathroom, since our bathroom and Wudhu rooms are in the lower level. There is a room in the back of the Madrasha that is almost bathroom ready. Tiles are already on the walls, and a sink (meaning that plumbing and water pipes are easier to have access). Estimate of $7,000 or less, including labor and material.
