THE FIRST 313 • MAS WASHINGTON D.C.
313.
They were few.
They stepped forward.
More than 1,400 years ago, the believers at Badr faced a moment that demanded faith, trust, and action. Their story still reminds us that decisive moments are carried by people who refuse to assume that someone else will answer.
Our circumstances today are completely different. This campaign does not compare our giving to the sacrifice or rank of the Sahabah. It carries forward a question every generation must answer: when an opportunity for khayr reaches us, how quickly do we respond?
THE FIRST 313 • CAMPAIGN PROGRESS
8 have already stepped forward.
Every person who joins moves the community one step closer to 313 recurring supporters standing behind MASDC and the next generation.
The First to Step Forward
Each supporter is shown with their supporter number and a commemorative Badr companion pairing. The first few names appear here, and the full list stays neatly tucked inside “View More.”

Why 313?
They Could Have Waited for Someone Else.
The number 313 gives this campaign a clear finish line, but its meaning goes deeper than a number. It reminds us that a small group can carry enormous responsibility when each person refuses to leave the work to somebody else.
Today, the responsibility in front of us is entirely different: sustaining a Masjid where salah is established, Qur’an is learned, children grow, youth find belonging, families gather, and service continues month after month.
Watch • Reflect • Remember
A Small Number. A Defining Moment.
What made those who came first different?
Their Lives Ended. Their Impact Did Not.
The earliest believers answered in different circumstances, at different ages, and with different capacities. What united them was not sameness — it was response.
A Legacy That Reaches Today
This Is the Masjid We Are Being Asked to Sustain.
At MASDC, the work is visible in real people and real moments: children learning, youth building confidence and Muslim identity, families gathering, mentors showing up, and a community returning to the Masjid as a place of worship, growth, and belonging.
Faith • Growth • Belonging
What Does Monthly Support Actually Protect?
Not an abstract institution. A living Masjid where faith, learning, mentorship, skills, and community become part of everyday life.
A child may learn here. A teenager may find Muslim friends here. A family may return to Allah here. You may never know all of their names — but the khayr can continue.
More than one kind of growth
Faith. Character. Curiosity. Leadership.
A Masjid can nurture the whole person — spiritually, socially, and intellectually.
Curiosity with Identity
Young Muslims can explore technology and new experiences while remaining rooted in a community that understands their deen and identity.
Confidence Through Practice
Activities, mentors, and shared experiences give children room to learn discipline, courage, teamwork, and trust.
A Place to Create and Belong
Community grows in the ordinary moments too — learning together, making things, laughing, and building friendships that can last.
A Masjid becomes part of growing up
The Building Matters Because of What Happens Inside It.
Classes change. Activities evolve. Children grow into teenagers. Teenagers become adults. What remains is the need for a place that keeps inviting the next generation back to faith, discipline, friendship, service, and community.
What you sustain today can become part of someone’s Muslim story tomorrow.
From participation to leadership
A Generation That Knows It Has a Place Here.
Programs like ITKAN Robotics, Qur’an and Arabic learning, tarbiya, mentorship, scouting, and youth development create more than a schedule of activities. They create repeated contact with Muslim peers, mentors, and a Masjid that feels like home.
Choose what Allah has made possible for you
The Amount Is Not the Identity. The Consistency Is.
The First 313 is built around recurring support so MASDC can plan, sustain programs, serve families, and keep the Masjid’s work moving from one month to the next.
A consistent monthly share connected to the future of Muslim youth and community life.
Choose $100 →Help give the Masjid stronger, predictable support for programs, learning, and youth development.
Choose $250 →A deeper recurring commitment supporting a Masjid where families worship, learn, gather, and grow.
Choose $500 →A high-capacity commitment that helps create stability around the work serving the next generation.
Choose $1,000 →Choose the recurring amount that is sustainable for you. No sincere supporter should be excluded by a preset tier.
Choose My Amount →The campaign is about belonging, responsibility, and continuity. The monthly amount is simply the mechanism that makes that continuity possible.
The First 313
Someone Before Us Built the Places That Helped Us Become Who We Are.
Now we choose what remains for the people after us. A child you may never meet may learn here. A young Muslim may find belonging here. A family may return to the Masjid here.
What you help sustain today can continue long after today is gone.
