ISS has been housed in two old, residential-style buildings bought decades ago. We need to respond positively to the progress and development around us and construct a new masjid and an Islamic Center. Such an Islamic center is not only vital to Muslims in the area but would also contribute to cultural diversity.
The pictures below show the old buildings that we are looking to replace with a modern facility. We are actively seeking donations to construct a new masjid and Islamic center in place of the current buildings. You can click on the images below to enlarge them.

The Muslim community in Stillwater, Oklahoma is asking you for your help and support. We are in dire need for your donations that, by the help of ALLAH, will allow us to continue to exist and to keep our masjid vital and in operation.
We are a growing community of students attending Oklahoma State University (OSU), besides American muslims. Our members come from all corners of the world; from Indonesia and Malaysia on the East to Tunisia and Morocco on the West along with many American Muslims.
Decades ago, when the first Muslims arrived in Stillwater, they established the Islamic Society of Stillwater (ISS). They also purchased an existing single-family house in close proximity to the university and used it as a masjid to perform prayers and to hold social and cultural activities.
Now, the physical structure of this masjid is aging and deteriorating. The structure has reached the end of its life expectancy. We are in a serious critical situation, in which we have to rebuild the masjid. We ask for your support for the noble cause of rebuilding a Masjid.
An official Building & Expansion Committee comprising of professional experts within the community has been formed by Islamic Society of Stillwater to develop and execute plans to build a new facility. The new facility will be an Islamic Center that would serve as a venue for cultural exchange between Islam and cultures of the World.
