Why Build a Masjid?
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.”
Each time we step into mosque 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.
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.
The beloved Prophet (saw) spoke of the virtues of building masajid, and actively participated in the construction of Masjid-e- Haraam, Masjid-e- Quba and Masjid-e-Nabawi.
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).
We have constructed several mosques in different areas of Uganda with the ambition of providing easy access to places of worship Ie.mosques.
