Having praised Allah (swt) in the foregoing Hamdallah, I bear witness that there is
no god worthy of worship but God Allah, the most high (swt) and, I bear witness
that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last messenger of Allah
In the format of Durood as stated, I hereby pay homage and due deference to our
beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh),
Firstly, the Masjid AlKhairiya sends Greetings of Peace to Your Eminence, the Islamic
Republic of Iran, and the Muslim World on the occasion of Fasting during the
forthcoming Ramadan Al Kareem 1430. Allah (swt) has prescribed unto all of us the
mandatory fasting:
Qur’an 2: 183
On the basis of lunar astronomical calculations, and subject to the actual sighting of
the moon by competent authority, the first day of Ramadan 1430 is on Saturday of
this coming August 22, 2009.
Insha’Allah. The Masjis al Khairiya will be ready to start the first day of Tarawih
prayer. We are ready to serve the Muslim community. You are welcome to join our
Jama Congregation. We have appointed and lined up a number of qualified Hafidh
and ulema to act as imam and lead our daily salaat, and we are open to receive more
qualified volunteers and Islamic missionaries from Islamic Countries.
May Allah (swt) keep us on the right path, and accept our fasting and
prayers. Amen.
Secondly, we shall appreciate your kind Sadaqa Sponsorship for Iftar during the
month of Ramadan; the number of persons expected to perform Tarawi in the
Masjid is only 100 to 150 persons. You may sponsor one day or more, or you may
sponsor the whole month of Ramadan. You may also sponsor and deliver any halal
food or fruits such as the favorite Middle East dates or Tamer as is known in the
Arab World, Kurma to Filipino Muslims. Or you may also deliver to the Masjid
anything of value for distribution to the poor Muslims, the needy and to those
qualified to receive Sadaqa in accordance with the Qur’an and the Hadith.
And now, May I introduce to you the MASJID ALKHAIRIYA, its Administration
and myself.
Alhamdulillah. It is with honor and privilege to welcome you once again to the
Majlis AlKhairiya Islamic Center. It' is through the Gracious Mercy of Allah, the
Most High that since the foundation of this Masjid in 1994, we are able to provide
the few humble multi-services for the Muslim community of Tagig City and the
neighborhood.
The project will cost US $ 1,000,000 (one million) or about P45 million.
Financing of the project is intended to come from the MANDATORY ZAKAT from
the Philippines and abroad to be solicited by the Alkhairiya Da’wah and Islamic
Missionary Team. Our Islamic Da’wa and Islamic Missionary Team will also
campaign for Sadaqa Jariyah based on Islamic charitable tradition in which
Muslim Donors contribute cash or valuable materials and or services needed for the
establishment, creation or construction Islamic Services that are beneficial to the
Muslim community. Without doubt,The building of Mosques is most rewarding in
this world and in the hereafter. Our beloved prophet, peace be upon him is
reported to have said :
"Whoever builds for a mosque for the Sake of Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will reward him
with a similar (house) in paradise"
SadaqaRasul, peace be upon hin. The prophet is also reported to have said that”
the best among you is he who learns the Holy Quran and teaches it to others. This is
the function of madaris.this is why we established the Madrasatul AlKhairiya.

Alhamdulillah. It is with honor and privilege to welcome you once again to the
Majlis AlKhairiya Islamic Center. It' is through the Gracious Mercy of Allah, the
Most High that since the foundation of this Masjid in 1994, we are able to provide
the few humble multi-services for the Muslim community of Tagig City and the
neighborhood.
The main goals of the Masjid and Islamic center are multi-purpose as follows:
1. Helping the Muslims in the area meet their religious needs of five daily
regular salaat;
2. On their commercial needs, the Masjid and Islamic center provides non-
interest micro lending in collaboration with some government Agencies like
Livelihood corporation (LIVECOR), Technical Livelihood Resource Center
(TLRC), a government program for poverty alleviation program, the
Amanah Islamic Bank and other international concern entities like the ERA
Humanitarian Foundation of Hong Kong and the Australian government
under its Australian Embassy Direct Assistance program. On their medical
needs,
3. The Masjid and Islamic center provides Paramedics and private Medicare in
collaboration with Charitable institutions and philanthropists,
4. Islamic education of Muslim youth with Al Khairiya Madrasah and
5. Promoting a better understanding of Islam in the community-at-large by
way of regular Saturday neighborhood gathering and meeting, and seminars
in the Masjid between Asr and Magrib, except on every month of Ramadan
Therefore, we have decided to renovate and expand the facilities of the Masjid for
your comfort. When completed hopefully and Insha Allah, the capacity will increase
to 1,000 from the meager 100 capacity and with ample spaces for other vital
services: Madrasah. Library. Research Center. Da’wa. And Paramedics.
Alhamdilillah, towards our goal and by the grace of Allah (swt), we were able to
finish the construction of the second floor on lot 3 along Marawi Avenue, Maharlika
Village. The Second Floor has three divisions, namely: NorthWing-A, NorthWing-
B, and the SouthWing fronting Marawi avenue. The Northwing-B will house the
Integrated Madrasatul HAKIM for students, especially for those who will memorize
the Holy Quran in order that they may become Hafidh. Several computers shall be
supplied for modern audio-video learning system We have appointed Mrs. Salama
Macarambon Dimapunong as Principal Of the Hafidh Al Khairiya Integrated
Madrasah (HAKIM). She is a Sharia graduate of the Institute of Islamic Studies at
the Mindanao State University with years of experience in Arabic teaching. We are

funding from the Islamic development Bank of the OIC, other leading Islamic banks
