2022 Survey Results

12/28/2022

 
​Thanks to all that participated in our end of year surveys. From these surveys, we found two major themes that the community expressed a huge need for.

​Theme #1: Convenience

Much of our first survey responses touched on shorter, clearer, and more focused khutbahs. Also, we recognized that the contents of the khutbahs should spark inspiration in our hearts. To that end, we will work towards making these shorter, with perhaps a 20-minute limit, since we do not want to short change the message. We do see opportunities to keep our Friday khutbahs more english-focused, and less repetitive, so that all can follow along with minimum listening efforts.

The parking lot is an issue that we very much agree needs attention. Our parking lot is old, and is in need of a major renovation to accommodate more vehicles - as well as facilitate a more efficient way to enter and exit the lot. To that end, we are actively seeking rental agreement options with our landlord, and hope to come to an understanding on how best to handle (and ultimately fund) a new $40,000 - $80,000 parking lot.

Lastly, we understand that many who come to our Friday khutbahs are taking their lunch breaks in order to attend, and would appreciate speedy food options after each khutbah. To that end, we are in conversations with El Turkito, a favored halal food truck, as well as given the restaurant next door, Hayati Mediterranean Grill, a heads up, so that they will be available to serve quick meals, so you can get on your way.

Theme #2: ​Connection

Picture
What was fascinating about our second survey was the need for finding a muslim mate. We attempted to host a handful of matrimonial events in 2022, learning that these require an incredible amount of planning and resources to make these worthwhile. In order for us to accommodate this need, we would need at least 5 volunteers to commit themselves to this initiative. If you know of any potential local volunteers in the Denver-Metro area, please have them contact us.

Spiritual support - through Quran classes was another connection point that we found very interesting. We see an opportunity to conduct formal Quran classes, but are curious to know of just how many in our local congregation would commit to tuition fees to attend. If we had a solid number to rely on, we could better plan around this need, and secure the resources necessary to make this worthwhile.

Lastly, there was mention of a new location. Our masjid currently does a good job of serving as a convenient pray hall in the downtown Denver area. If we were to expand our value, and introduce programs such as matrimonial events or Quran classes, it would certainly require more dedicated space to accommodate these types of functions. Unfortunately, we are not at a point financially to raise the large funds necessary to secure (and maintain) a multi-million dollar space in downtown Denver. However, if you know of such investors and/or donors that are willing to donate - the Masjid Al Shuhada board of directors would be happy to have conversations with them.

P.S. Regarding unity... we are currently in conversation with the Colorado Imam Council to test the viability of a large Eid celebration on Saturday April 22, 2023. Stay tuned for more developments.
