BVMCCVerified

By the grace of God, the number of Muslim families in Blossom Valley / Almaden Valley / South San Jose Area has grown rapidly. While there are a number of excellent institutions in the Bay Area, our fast-paced lifestyles and the competing demands of work and family have highlighted the need for an Islamic center nearer to our homes. The Blossom Valley Muslim Community Center (BVMCC) was founded in acknowledgement on this fact and the desire to foster a sense of community and create a center where the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith are both taught and practiced. Words of Wisdom Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of the prayer offered by a person in congregation is twenty five times greater than that of the prayer offered in one's house or in the market (alone). And this is because if he performs ablution and does it perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and his one sin is taken off (crossed out) from his accounts (of deeds). When he offers his prayer, the angels keep on asking Allah's Blessings and Allah's forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying) at his Musalla. They say, 'O Allah! Bestow Your blessings upon him, be Merciful and kind to him.' And one is regarded in prayer as long as one is waiting for the prayer." (Volume 1, Book 11, Number 620). Rasulullah (Sallellahu Alihe Wassalam) said, ‘Whosoever builds a house (Masjid) for the pleasure of Allah, whether it be small or large, Allah builds for him a house in paradise.’(at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibban, Abu Dawud, and Ahmad)
