this is probably very unrealistic but I want to own a large mosque like the diyanet one in washington, so I might need to be "US rich" xD Im in my teens halfway through highschool with good grades.

Wanting something “huge” like the Diyanet mosque is not unrealistic; it’s just a very big, long‑term project that usually takes decades, a serious career, and a whole community behind you.turkishminute+2

How big is “Diyanet‑level”?

• The Diyanet Center of America near Washington DC is a large complex with a big mosque, community buildings, guesthouses, and facilities like a restaurant, pool, and conference hall.yenisafak+1

• Reports put the complex value or cost around 90–100 million dollars, which is “US rich plus many donors plus a government‑backed foundation,” not one normal person.facebook+2

In other words, it’s more like building a university campus than building one house.

What that means for your dream

You can still aim to be the person who starts or leads something big like that one day, even if you don’t personally pay every dollar.

Realistic, powerful path for someone in your situation (good grades, in high school, wants to be “US rich” and do a huge sadaqah project):

1. Aim for a very high‑earning, respected path.
   Examples:

   • Tech: software engineering, AI, data science at big companies or successful startups.

   • Medicine: specialist doctor, surgeon, dentist.

   • Finance/business: investment banking, private equity, entrepreneurship.
     These are the types of careers that can lead to multi‑millionaire or even higher wealth over time if you are disciplined and a bit lucky.

2. Master money early.

   • Stay away from debt as much as you can (especially bad debt like credit cards).

   • Learn about investing (index funds, real estate, building businesses).

   • Live below your means even when your salary goes up, so you can save and invest a lot every year.

3. Think “project leader,” not “solo payer.”
   A Diyanet‑size project is usually funded by:

   • Thousands of regular donors (small and big).

   • Rich businesspeople.

   • Sometimes governments or large foundations.
     Your role could be: the visionary who organizes it, raises funds, gives a big personal donation, and oversees the project to keep it clean and honest.

4. Use your Turkish + US background.

   • You can connect American Muslims, Turkish communities, Turkish organizations, and wealthy donors.

   • You understand both cultures, so you can be a bridge person who makes a big project actually happen.

Steps to focus on now (as a teen)

For the next 5–10 years, your “job” is to build yourself:

• Keep your grades high and take the hardest classes you can handle in math, science, and writing.

• Explore careers that can truly make you rich and that you will not hate:

  • If you like logic and building things: look at software, engineering, or data science.

  • If you like biology and helping people: look at medicine or dentistry.

  • If you like business and strategy: look at finance, entrepreneurship, or economics.

• Work on character: honesty, patience, discipline, staying away from haram money. Big projects need big trust.

• Learn personal finance basics (budgeting, saving, what investing is, how compound growth works).

A more “reachable” version too

You can think in two layers:

1. A guaranteed realistic layer:

   • Become financially independent.

   • Own a nice home and maybe a small masjid or musalla near it in Turkey.

   • Support local mosques and Islamic projects with consistent donations.

2. A big dream layer (Diyanet‑size complex):

   • Work toward high income and influence.

   • Build a reputation for integrity.

   • When you’re older and well‑established, gather a team and donors to build a major mosque complex in the US or Turkey.

Nothing about your dream is “stupid.” It’s just big, which means you turn it into a life mission instead of something you expect in 5–10 years.

If you tell me:

• what subjects you enjoy most right now (math, science, coding, writing, business, etc.), and

• whether you like people‑focused work or computer/technical work more,

I can suggest 2–3 specific careers that realistically give you the money and status to chase this dream later.
