As Arab and Muslim immigrants leave their countries, they make their way to the United States with a bright dream in their hearts. In the "Land of Opportunities" they aim to achieve an advanced education system, gainful employment and a prosperous life.

A mosque operates in a warehouse-like building in Apex, North Carolina, USA. The mosque, which was opened in 2009 by the efforts of young Muslims living in this area, is today not only a place of prayer, but also a center that provides many Islamic services. One of the founders of the mosque, Khalid Shahu, gave an interview to "Al-Jazeera" TV channel, talking about the process of creating the mosque, the difficulties they faced and the services the mosque currently provides.
