Each time we step into a mosque it is a beautiful blessing and a moment to be reflective, grateful and content. Every prayer we make, every tear that falls, every ayah from the Qur’an that we recite, every lesson we learn from the Qur’an and every celebration of our faith brings us closer to Allah (swt). The masjid is a place for us to come together, worship and seek solace. However these beautiful experiences and blessing are ones that we often take for granted. A mosque is at the centre of any Muslim community; for times of joy and sorrow, for prayer and repentance it cradles the community and holds them close to Allah (swt). The mosque plays a vital role in bringing the community together and uplifting their spirits. Help us to build a stunning Masjid and unite these great communities.
Prophet Muhammad (saw) told us that Allah (swt) says that if someone builds a masjid in order to reap His reward, Allah (swt) will build them a similar house in paradise.
