Assalam Alaikum,

All Praises are due to Allah, The Most Exalted, for giving us the opportunity to serve Masjid Bilal and this beautiful, vibrant, and diverse community of Lexington. 

​

Throughout its long and established history, our Masjid has been steadfast in providing a consistent place for Muslims to pray, interact, learn, and grow as a community. Over time, we have expanded our mission to serve the greater Islamic community of Lexington and this mission is strengthened by the presence of our full time Imam, Alhamdolillah. 

 

Our masjid's efforts would not be possible without the selfless service of the members of the Executive Committee, the guidance of our Board of Trustees and the continuous and unwavering support of our community. 

 

On behalf of the EC of Masjid Bilal, I want to thank you all for the support you have given the Masjid and current EC and humbly want to share the fruits of our endeavors in this short period of time.
