In a non-Muslim countries: many members among the Muslim communities are struggling when tragedy approaches their doorsteps. When a family loses a father, a mother, or even a child, they are finding it difficult and even impossible at times to find an Islamic appropriate burial location.
Since 2018, Al-Mahdi Islamic Center has sought to collect donations to establish an Islamic cemetery to serve the Muslim community in the city of great Nashville. Unfortunately, with the rising land costs and operational expenses, it would be difficult to establish our own cemetery.
Therefore; After trusting in ALLAH (swt) and with the efforts of the benevolent donors, a plot of land was purchased from Harpeth Hills Memory Gardens Funeral Home to establish Al-Mahdi Islamic Center Cemetery ( Al-Mahdi Garden).
Al-Mahdi Islamic Center stands by to serve our community in times of grief. We provide essential funeral services for your departing loved ones and assistance to grieving families. Please contact us for assistance with funeral services.
