We are currently working on the realization of the property purchase project in Kempten worth 500,000 euros. With each donation, we are one step closer to realizing our dream, and this is the beginning of the construction of the Islamic Center, which will prevent the process of assimilation into society and allow better and faster integration while preserving our identity.

„La Havle ve La Kuvvete illa Billahil Aliyyil Azim“


Say you, 'undoubtedly, my Lord expands provision for whom He pleases of His bondmen and straitens for whom He pleases.' And whatever you spend in the way of Allah, He will recompense you with more. And He is the best of the providers.' (Saba`39)


Abu Mas`ud said that a man once gave away a camel, with its bridle on, in the cause of Allah and the Messenger of Allah said, on the Day of Resurrection, you will have seven hundred camels with their bridles. (Muslim)


City Kempten

Kempten is the largest and most central city in the Allgäu in Bavaria with around 70,000 inhabitants. It dates from Roman times and is one of the oldest cities in Germany with around 2,000 years of history. Kempten is located in the foothills of the Alps at an average of 700 meters above sea level and is the second highest city in Germany of the larger German cities. Kempten is an independent medium-sized town and in the administrative region of Swabia the second largest city after Augsburg. It is also known as the capital of the Allgäu or the Allgäu metropolis, as Kempten is one of the economically strongest cities in Germany.

Region Allgäu

The Allgäu with its around 470,000 inhabitants is one of the most beautiful and popular holiday regions in Germany and is also the southernmost region in Germany. It consists of both the hilly foothills of the Alps and the high mountainous Alps. In the Allgäu there are many beautiful crystal clear lakes that invite you to swim in summer. At the same time, there are wonderful areas that you can explore by bike or hike with your family. The world-famous royal castles must not be forgotten. In winter, the Allgäu is transformed into a magical fairytale landscape, where skiing and tobogganing are normal.

Description of the project

The entire project aims to enrich the social, cultural and religious life of the local Bosniak community and to establish an educational and cultural center in Kempten. These project goals arise from a detailed analysis of the situation and the needs of the Bosniaks in the Allgäu, who come from the Balkans.


Our long-term financial goal is to achieve complete independence from membership fees by renting out some premises such as the restaurant, the Bosniak supermarket and the hair salon. This means that in the best case scenario, the running costs of the Bosniak educational and cultural center will be covered by the rent received.


The membership fees of the association members can thus be used for meaningful purposes such as supporting people in need, excursions for children and teenagers or the organization of traditional Bosniak festivals.


The following description of the property presents the future Bosniak educational and cultural center in Kempten in detail.

Ground floor

Prayer and meeting room


The prayer and meeting room, which also includes the ritual washrooms and the office for the Imam, will be used for religious and communal life and celebrations. Men, women and children will form an active citizenship across generations and receive interreligious solidarity.

Common room


The common room is designed for our socializing. Here we will meet and exchange ideas and experiences with a cup of tea or coffee, organize fast breaks and celebrate sugar festivals. The common room is also intended for welcoming external guests.

Restaurant


The restaurant will mainly offer traditional dishes from the Balkans.

Bosniak supermarket


The Bosniak supermarket will house numerous products from the Balkans.

Kindergarten / Playroom


The kindergarten will be equipped with numerous interesting opportunities for the education and upbringing of children up to the age of 6 years.

Hair salon


The hair salon will offer every imaginable hairdressing service for men, women and children.

First floor

Classroom


The classroom will be used for many different purposes, such as the Bosniak primary school and a language course in German, which should offer opportunities for faster integration. But there will also be a language course in Bosnian for the possibility of preserving our identity.

Library


The library will have its own reading room, which will offer the option of reading in silence.

Recreation room


The recreation room will be equipped with table tennis, billiards, air hockey, table football and darts and is intended for all age groups. It will aim to bring young and old together in one place and brighten up their free time together through fun and sporting activities.

Office Board


The office will offer the board of the association the possibility to carry out its board work in peace and to realize the planning of further projects and goals of the association.

Imam Flat


The Imam of the association is accommodated together with his family in a flat specially furnished for him so that he can fully concentrate on his work. The flat will contain three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a separate guest toilet and a storage room. It will have a size of about 90 m².

Basement

Underground garage


The underground garage with a total of 18 parking spaces will be available to all of our club members at all times. The access is regulated via an access ramp.

Gym


The gym with its own changing rooms and showers can be used by our club members at any time to keep fit and healthy. There will be separate training times for women only. The remaining training times are used together.

Ritual washroom for the deceased


The ritual washroom for the deceased is specially designed to ritually wash a deceased member of the association and prepare them for burial in order to then transport them to the designated burial site.

In order to realize all this with God's help, we need the support of all of you!


Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Hasten to perform good deeds before a tribulation which will be like the dark part of the night, in which a man will be a believer in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening, or he will be a believer in the evening and an unbeliever in the morning. He would sell his faith for some goods in the world.“ (Muslim)
