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.
