Help Build a Masjid - A Sadaqah Jariyah for Life
The masjid plays a central role in the well-being of the Ummah. It is the heart of every thriving community - a sanctuary for worship, guidance, and protection. It is also a huge preserver of Islamic identity by reminding Muslims of their ultimate purpose: to worship Allah.
Alhamdulillah, thanks to your support, Ummah Welfare Trust has built, repaired, or renovated over 60 masjids across the Ummah this past year. Today, thousands of worshippers gather to seek Allah's nearness. May these masjids continue to thrive until the Last Day.
Whosoever builds a house (masjid) for the pleasure of Allah, whether it be small or large, Allah builds for him a house in Paradise.
[Tirmidhi]
Communities Need Help
But many more communities are still waiting. In remote villages and poverty-stricken regions, Muslims pray in crumbling structures or open spaces, with no proper place to worship. You have the opportunity to change this.
Alhamdulillah, the charity builds and renovates masjids in remote communities across South Asia, Africa, the Balkans and the Middle East. Each new masjid also runs a maktab, offering a place where poor young children can learn Islam as it has been traditionally taught.
An Important Tradition
Building and preserving masjids is a Prophetic tradition upheld by every Muslim community. Ummah Welfare Trust remains committed to constructing and renovating as many as possible - but your help is needed.
For just £100, £500, or £1,000, you can contribute towards the construction of a masjid. Your donation will serve as a Sadaqah Jariyah, benefiting you in this life and the next.
