The skeletal structureof this building has already been completed and currently work israpidly proceeding on its walls and ceiling.Our beloved Hudūr, Hadrat Khalīfatul Masīh al-Khāmis aa , hasmade an important modification in relation to this constructionproject that the project will now be wholly the responsibility ofthe Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamā`at Canada and, in lieu of the earlierproposed Community Centre of Humanity First, Tahir Hall will bebuilt on this site along which, in addition to fulfilling many needsof the Jamā`at will also serve as an extension of the Baitul IslāmMosque. Along with this, the construction of Jāmi`a Ahmadiyyaand offices of the Jamā`at will also be undertaken.In view of this decision by Hudūr aa , this building project will beundertaken 100% by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamā`at Canada,which will bear the exclusive responsibility of spending $9.5million that will be the construction cost of this project.Whenever a call for fund-raising has been issued to the Jamā`at,by the grace of Allāh the Exalted, it has always responded withexcitement and a great spirit of sacrifice; and Allāh the Exaltedhas always brought our humble efforts to fruition and increasedour financial means. I am fully confident, by the grace of Allāhthe Exalted, that all of us will offer donations according to ourrespective capacity for this project as well, seeking the pleasureof Allāh; and that we will offer greater-than-before financialsacrifice to meet our obligation towards this objective and fulfillthe expectations of our Beloved Imām aa , Insha Allāh.Since, a significant part of this project was planned to becompleted by March 31, 2011 and the pace of work continuesaccordingly, so I request you to increase your pledges of financialdonations and step up your payments so that we may be ableto complete this project on time.
