The Muslim Community at Dar Al-Hijrah hopes to achieve the following:

• Expanding the facility to accommodate the increasing numbers of Muslims and to resolve the severe shortage of parking spaces. Currently overflow parking spaces must be rented from two neighboring churches at a significant cost. The Center is diligently working to buy adjacent properties as they come on the market to make the future expansion possible.
• Focusing on Islamic education and acquiring a separate building for the school, The Washington Islamic Academy, one that is modern and well equipped and consisting of enough classrooms, labs, fields, and playgrounds to operate an exemplary full-time Islamic school.
• The new youth center (MAS Youth Center) will provide adequate facilities that will offer the youth a healthy alternative and dynamic activities to develop there minds, bodies and souls.
• Achieving self-sufficiency for the center by establishing a trust fund and investments capable of funding the center and its needs into the future; create for the center a permanent source of income that can cover its expenses.
