CIRCULAR NO: JMT/ 092/23 Date: September 16, 2023
Building a Mosque (Masjid) has immeasurable rewards, it is Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity). Mosque is a great place to bring people closer to Allah (SWT) and continuous spreading of knowledge of Islam, also inviting others into the faith. It is an infinite investment in this world and for the hereafter. Allah (SWT) in the Holy Qur’an Surah Al-Baqarah (2:261) says;
“The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah SWT, is as the likeness of a grain of corn, which grows seven ears and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah SWT gives manifold increase to whomever He pleases. Allah SWT is All-Sufficient, All-Knowing.”
This week, we commemorated the death anniversaries of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad al-Mustafa (S.A.W.W.) and the Eight Holy Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (A.S.). The significance of the Mosque can be related to the early history of Islam, the first Mosque was built by the Holy Prophet himself in 622 CE, the Mosque of Quba in Madinah, during the time he migrated (Hijrah) from Makkah to Madinah.
