Build a masjid - Sadaqah Jariyah for Mustafa

At the heart of any Islamic community, a mosque can be found. Mosques are as old as Islam itself; they are the beating heart of our community and stand as a physical example of our faith. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) even helped in the construction of the first mosque in Medina, as it was part of his will to define a place of worship for Muslims everywhere.

A mosque provides us with so much more than a simple house of worship though, it is a precious sanctuary that provides a place for individual enlightenment, education and moral guidance. Inside the hallowed walls of a blessed masjid is where we teach our children about the Qur’an, where we come to honour and worship Allah (SWT).

As Muslims, we recognise the importance of these beautiful places of worship, but do you know what the benefits of building a mosque are? The reward for building a mosque is great and ongoing; for every prayer said inside a mosque you’ve helped build, Allah (SWT) will reward you in Jannah. The Hadith states the prophet (saw) said “Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, like a sparrow’s nest for Allah or even smaller, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”

There are many of our brothers and sisters in the developing world who struggle without having a proper mosque in their communities, as Sadaqah Jariyah for our brother Mustafa Safeer we would like to build a mosque so our brother whom has sadly left this dunya and those whom donate may reap the rewards.
