Peace Be with you all!

I know our homes or where ever we chose to dedicate as a place to worship God Alone, is a true mosque, but it would be nice if there were some Quran Alone Worship Centers/mosques or just Quran Alone Community Centers located near by. It really makes it hard on Quran Alone Muslims/Submitters to dedicate their homes to God Alone, unless they are single or married to someone with the same beliefs.

A Community Center would be a great idea. It could be used for Meetings, Luncheons/Potlucks, Study Groups for adults and children, Weekly Congregational Salat/Worship services,Feasts/Pilgrimages,and other things.  And those who attend could help with the upkeep and bills if possible. I wonder if tithes or part of them could be used for such a thing?
I would be proud to be able to offer such a thing to our community if I had the funds(which I dont sadly) and if there were several people in the area that wished to attend.

One big issue would be, exactly which version of Quran Alone beliefs would be upheld at said Center and what would people want to call themselves...Quran Alone Muslims,Quran Alone Islam,God Alone Islam,God Alone Muslims,Submission to God,Submitters to God Alone, Community of Submitters to the God, Community Of God Alone-a Quran Alone Congregation, (local name/street name)-God Alone Community Center, Progressive Muslims, etc etc etc. The reason I brought up which beliefs would be uphelp, is because it would probably offer Congregational Services once a week, which would include salat and then during the festival/hajj and also teachings from the Quran would be given, so each Center would have to be based on a common belief, other than Quran Alone, and no other name is to be mentioned during prayers or otherwise alongside Gods.

Sadly this movement will probably never be a "Family Religion" or grow large enough for many of these Centers to pop up,if any,other than Mr.R.Khalifa's Gods Mosque/Masjud Tucson.

I think it should simply be a mosque based on Quran only, but open to discussion.  There's no need to make it specific,  or no need to call it anything complex, other than a mosque for those who believe in quran Alone.
