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.

Allah the Greatest mentioned several Verses in The Qur’an about the sanctity of Masjids and how sacred they are. Allah Almighty said, “The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give Zakah and do not fear except Allah, for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided.” (At-Tawbah [9] : 18).

The Prophet (SAW) said, “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (continuing charity), knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him” [Muslim]

A great example of Sadaqah Jariyah is the construction of a mosque! The benefits of helping to build a mosque are endless, and Allah (SWT) will continue to bless you even in the hereafter as long as people continue to use the mosque you contributed to.

Benefits of building mosque :

• Its sadaqah jariyah
• It's a palace in jannah
• Uniting communities
