Assalāmu ʿalaykum,

I am fundraising on behalf of Hanfia Ghousia Masjid & Community Centre (Bedford) as part of their vital Project Rebuild initiative.

For many years, this masjid has served as the heart of our local community — a place of prayer, learning, support, and unity. However, the current buildings are no longer fit for purpose. With constant repairs, shared spaces, and limited facilities, it has become clear that more than a simple upgrade is needed.

Alhamdulillah, construction has already begun. Through generous donations and interest-free loans, over £300,000 has been raised. But we now need support to raise the final £1 million to complete this vision.

What This Project Will Provide

This new masjid and community centre is being built to serve everyone and will include:

• ♿ Disabled access & lifts

• ‍ A multi-purpose community kitchen

• ⚰️ Mortuary & funeral facilities

• Expanded separate prayer halls for brothers & sisters

• Improved male & female ablution areas

• Smart technology classrooms for education

This project is not just about bricks and walls — it is about building a centre that will serve generations to come.

Why This Means So Much

Every single act of worship performed in this masjid will be a source of ongoing reward:

• Every obligatory prayer in congregation

• Every Taraweeh prayed in Ramadan

• Every child learning Qur’an

• Every dhikr gathering

• Every lesson taught

This is a beautiful opportunity for Sadaqah Jāriyah — continuous charity — on behalf of yourself and your loved ones.

Even a small donation can make a difference. If each of us gives what we can, together we can complete this house of Allah and leave behind something that benefits our community for decades.

May Allah accept from all who donate and share, and make it heavy on our scales. Ameen
