A group of about 35 Moslems from eastern Kane County have purchased a 10-acre lot in rural Rutland Township, near the tiny village of Gilberts, and are awaiting approval of their plans to construct a mosque and an Islamic children's school on the site.

The proposal, being studied by the Kane County Zoning and Planning Board, is for a 10,600-square-foot domed building for worship and a 24-classroom school west of Tyrrell Road and south of the Northwest Tollway, according to officials.

First to be built under the $1.2 million proposal would be the two-story, 11,000-square-foot Institute of Islamic Education, a school for 50 youngsters ages 5 to 18 that would hold lessons on the Holy Koran, according to Mohammad Waheed Farooqui, chairman of the project's building committee.
