Supporting the Iqaluit Masjid

Dear Beloved Community Members, Assalam Alaikum wa rhmatulahi wa barkatuhu

Your Contribution Matters: Building Our Community and Future Generations

We come to you today with a heartfelt appeal. The Iqaluit Masjid, our spiritual home, stands as a beacon of light and unity for all of us. It is not merely a physical structure; it is the heart of our community—a place where we find solace, seek knowledge, and connect with Allah and our community.

The Prophetic Wisdom: Envy and Generosity

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said, “Envy is not permissible except for two men: a man whom Allah has given knowledge of the Book, and he recites it during the hours of the night, and a man whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends it in charity during the night and the hours of the day.” (Saheeh Bukhari)

These words remind us of the immense blessings bestowed upon us. We are fortunate to have both knowledge and wealth within our community. Let us channel these gifts toward a noble cause—the maintenance and sustenance of our Masjid.

Allah Promise: Reward for Righteous Deeds

Allah (azwajjal) assures us in the Qur’an:

“Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Chapter 2, Verse 277)

Every penny, lighlt bulb, paper towel-Each contributes to the spiritual nourishment of our community. Your support ensures that our Masjid remains a place of worship, education, and community bonding.

Additional Regular Expenses:

1. Utilities & Maintenance: Keeping the lights on, maintaining the heating and cooling systems, and ensuring a clean and comfortable environment for all worshippers require ongoing financial resources.

2. Community Programs: Our Masjid hosts various programs—educational, social, and cultural—that benefit our community members. From Quran classes to youth activities, these programs strengthen our bonds and enrich our lives.

3. General and Administrative Fees: Behind the scenes, dedicated individuals manage the administrative tasks that keep our Masjid running smoothly. From paperwork to communication, to hiring an auditor these efforts are essential.

How You Can Contribute:

1. Financial Donations: Your generous financial contributions directly impact the upkeep of our Masjid. Whether it’s a small monthly donation or a one-time gift, every amount matters.

2. Volunteer Time: Beyond monetary support, consider volunteering your time and skills. From cleaning to organizing events, your efforts make a difference.

3. Spread the Word: Share this appeal with family, friends, and colleagues. Encourage them to join hands with us in preserving our sacred space.

May Allah Reward You: A Promise from the Most Generous

As we embark on this journey together, let us remember that our intentions matter. May Allah (subhanah wa ta’ala) reward you abundantly for your contributions toward maintaining His House—the Iqaluit Masjid. May your generosity echo through generations, leaving a legacy of faith and compassion.

Together, we build not just walls but bridges of love, unity, and hope.

May Allah accept our efforts and bless our community abundantly. ❤️
