In this powerful episode of The Muslim Non-profit Show with Tayyab Yunus, we sit down with Imam Tariq Rasheed from the Islamic Center of Orlando, located just outside Disney World, to uncover his remarkable journey of transforming a small masjid into a 23,000 sq ft community hub—completely debt-free.

He shares heartfelt stories of early struggles, opposition, the value of outreach to non-Muslim neighbors, and the critical mindset needed to grow a masjid successfully. If you're a community leader, aspiring imam, or simply passionate about building strong, sustainable Muslim spaces—this is a must-listen.

You'll walk away with practical insights on fundraising, handling criticism, managing boards, and the immense barakah of sincere leadership. 🎧 Tune in and don't forget to 🔔 subscribe for future episodes with nonprofit founders, Islamic scholars, and sector experts.
