Masjid Construction

Importance of Building Masjid

The masjid plays the greatest role in the well-being of the Jamia Islamia Riyazul Uloom Anwa. It is the main link between the masses and their Lord, strengthening the believers faith and unity.

A thriving masjid remains a sign of Islam’s vitality. For this reason, the masjid remains a target for Islam’s enemies, who in the past hundred years have closed countless masjids across the Jamia Islamia Riyazul Uloom Anwa, razed them to the ground or changed them for other uses.

Thanks to you, more Muslims are today able to offer their prayers in congregation and more children are able to learn their religion after school. InshaAllah these new masjids will empower the communities around them and secure their Islam for the future.

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]

Building and preserving the masjid remains the Prophetic tradition of every Muslim community, and so Jamia Islamia Riyazul Uloom Anwa Welfare Trust works hard therefore to construct or renovate as many as it can.

Each new masjid also runs a maktab, offering a place where poor young children can learn Islam as it has been traditionally taught.
