Final Update From Team Tokyo Masjid:

Assalamu Alaikum WR WBT,
Alhamdulillah, we are immensely happy to announce that we have reached our target successfully to raise the required amount of $1,720,000 USD for our new Masjid in Tokyo. This amount is included purchasing of the building, cost of renovation and 6 months of running cost.

Our team at TokyoMasjid would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of our generous donors for their contribution to our Masjid. A big thank you to all the individuals and organizations that spread the word about our project and who contributed with their time and effort in addition to the financial support. May Allah SWT accept all your efforts and grant you the best in both worlds.

We realize that our journey has just started and we hope to establish an Institution not just to serve the existing Muslim community in Japan but to carry out a broader civic engagement with the Japanese society. Over time, we hope to see a large group of Japanese brothers and sisters joining us in our congregations and participating in our activities, InshaAllah.
Last but not the least, we the TokyoMasjid team would like to thank the entire LaunchGood team for continues support and guidance.

Please remember our community in your Dua. Again, thank you very much, and we hope to see you at Tokyo Masjid in the near future InshaAllah.
Jazak Allahu Khayran.


Final Phase to Complete our Masjid Establishment


Around 15 years ago, we were just a small Muslim community in the area of Nishikasai, Tokyo. Although there are few other masajid in Japan, they are far from our area. It was impractical to travel the far distance, hence we started renting a place as a musolla for prayers. As the number of Muslims in our community increases, the small musolla can no longer accommodate us. We felt that we needed a masjid for this community. However, it is not easy to procure a big building for a masjid in Japan.



By the grace of Allah and collective efforts from our community, we were able to find a bigger facility. The new building is accessible by walk from the Nishikasai station in Edogawa ward of Tokyo Metropolitan, where most of us live.

We started our fundraising over a year ago. With all your exceptional support, we achieved the target amount for the Masjid building procurement. Insha Allah, Tokyo Masjid will be a reality soon.  

As we continue the campaign duration until the Masjid Registration due date, your further support will help to secure the minimum necessities to move into a new masjid. Converting a residential structure to Masjid demands a lot of effort, we request your support to help us achieve this extended mark.

The estimated cost for the building, the amount paid in advance, and the other predictable expenses are as per the financial status below. 



What Else We Do

We don't just pray at Musalla but do a lot of other activities too. Some of them are fun and some help us spread the message and keep our faith strong. Here are some of those activities:

1. Islamic education to the children: The major drawback of living in a sparsely Muslim populated area is that the children cannot get proper Islamic education and environment. Alhumdulillah, we have been able to arrange a permanent Arabic teacher to teach Arabic.

2. Dars and Functions: We arrange regular Dars in our Musalla and invite scholars from various locations. It helps keep the community close to each other and also help us make our faith stronger. We also invite non-muslims to our functions and show them our culture and enthusiasm.

3. Musalla visit by local Japanese and students: Our Musalla is often visited by local Japanese people, especially in Ramadan time. On a few occasions, we have also had a visit from students to understand Islam.

 

 

4. Helping the local community and the environment: Japan Islamic Trust has actively engaged with Earthquake and Tsunami Relief activities since its inception in 1991. Built its first Masjid in Otsuka in 1999, more than 20 years of Da'wah work, Made 1500+ Shahadah, Serving Muslim community for their Islamic living and serving Japanese community through various charity and Relief activities.

5. Eid Festival: Our biggest show-off of Islamic culture to the Japanese people is our annual Eid festival which has been a great success for the past 3 years, by the grace of Allah. We are proud to arrange a one-day celebration of Eid which we have after Eid-ul-Adha every year (except in 2020 due to the Covid situation). One of the objectives of the function is the Dawah activity, and we are glad to say that at the festival 3 people read Shahadah and embraced Islam.

5. Annual Quran Competition:  Quran competition is organized every year. 

Give Us Your Hand

“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”

Invest in Sadaqah Jarriyah: Zakat Scholarships for IISO low-income-family students

Dear valued brother/sister,

Thanks to your generosity, Islamic initiatives in Japan have flourished. This year, we invite you to channel your Zakat into scholarships for students from low-income families at the International Islamia School Otsuka (IISO), a dedicated waqf project. Currently, 40% of our students benefit from these scholarships, ensuring financial constraints do not hinder their access to quality Islamic education.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) enlightened us with the words, 'When a person dies, their deeds end except for three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge, and a child who prays for them' (Sahih Muslim). By contributing your Zakat to IISO's scholarship fund, you are investing in all three: a charity that continues to benefit you, the knowledge that guides future generations, and support for children who will remember and pray for you.

To make a one-time donation, please visit: https://bit.ly/IISOZakatOnce
