Masjid
“Whoever build a mosque for Allah – be it large or small – Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî]
Mosques are the heart of the Islamic community. They serve for prayers, for events during Islam’s holiest month Ramadan, as centres for education and information, places for social welfare, and also for dispute settlement. Mosques are as old as Islam. According to Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad helped in the construction of the first mosque in the city of Medina.
There is great reward in building a mosque for Allah’s sake. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever build a mosque for Allah – be it large or small – Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhî)
The building of a mosque is a way for a person to continue to earn blessings after death. You can donate to construct the house of Allah in your name or loved ones in rural communities across Africa and Asia.
The Ultimate Ongoing Reward – Sadaqah Jariyah
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, when a person passes away, all his actions terminate but three:
- Knowledge through which people benefit
- Sadaqah Jariyah (continuing charity)
- And a pious child who makes Dua (supplication) for the parents
One of the best forms of continuous charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) is to build a masjid in your name and your loved ones. People will perform salah and other righteous deeds in the masjid. Therefore, in return, you and your loved ones will get rewarded for all these good deeds.
Mosques are important
Mosques are as old as Islam itself; and just as the Prophet (ﷺ) helped to build the first mosque in Medina, you can help bring a masjid to people who’ve never known the blessings of praying together in a mosque. Help build a mosque for your ummah in need.
Prayer Space (Musalla): £100
Paying for a prayer area (massala) is as important as building a mosque. With your £100 donation you are contributing to the whole building project and giving a much-needed community a dedicated place to pray for years to come. Your £100 donation per masalla contributes towards the building costs of the mosque, prayer hall and wudu facilities.
Donate £100 a prayer space (masala) in your name or a loved one.
Reward for generations to come
A dedicated place to practice and share your faith is so important but within Muslim communities in the developing world, they don’t always have this option. A mosque is the heart of any Islamic community, and you can gift this house of Allah (SWT) to those who have no place to congregate and pray with a simple act of Sadaqah Jariyah.
The Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing reward) gained from donating towards this beautiful project is immeasurable. Contribute towards building a mosque now and gain countless rewards in the Hereafter.
Help us build beautiful masjids for impoverished communities with your mosque charity, giving them a communal place of worship that can be used for generations to come.
