Sponsor a Masjid: Uplift and Expand the Mfazazana Islamic Centre – Sadaqah Jariyah Opportunity

Empowering Our Ummah, One Brick at a Time – Be a Part of Our Sadaqah Jariyah Legacy

The Mfazazana Masjid and Islamic Centre is not just a place of worship; it is the heartbeat of our Ummah, a sanctuary of knowledge, and a source of support for those in need throughout Southern Africa. As our Ummah continues to grow, we are embarking on a journey to uplift and enhance this beloved Baytullah (House of Allah), and we need your support in this noble cause.

Why Your Contribution is Crucial

1. Expanding Our Sacred Prayer Space

Our congregation is growing, and the current prayer space is becoming too small to accommodate the increasing number of worshippers. Your charitable giving will help us:

• Renovate the roof to ensure the safety and comfort of our worshippers.
• Upgrade the ablution facilities and plumbing for improved hygiene.
• Improve electrical systems to ensure safety and modern functionality.
• Replace carpets to enhance the aesthetic and comfort of our prayer area.
• Create dedicated spaces for sisters, ensuring their privacy and comfort.
• Install modern audio-visual systems for khutbahs and Dawah lectures.
• Improve facilities for elderly and disabled worshippers to enhance accessibility.

2. Nurturing Minds Through Knowledge and Skills

Education is essential for a thriving Ummah. We are dedicated to empowering our community with both spiritual and practical knowledge. Your contributions will help us:

• Build new classrooms for Qur’an classes, Islamic studies, and vocational training.
• Expand our Maktabah (library) with classical and contemporary Islamic texts.
• Develop a computer lab for digital learning and Islamic research.

3. Strengthening Our Brotherhood and Sisterhood

A mosque is not only a place for worship but also the heart of community life. By enhancing our community outreach, we can:

• Offer professional counseling services for families and youth.
• Support food bank programs to assist those in need.
• Build a multipurpose hall for Nikahs, educational seminars, and community events.

Inspired by Faith

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"مَن بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ، كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، كَمَا بَنَى عُشَّةً."

("Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, even if it is as small as a bird's nest, Allah will build for them a house in Jannah.") (Sunan Ibn Majah 738)

By contributing to the Mfazazana Masjid project, you are not just constructing a building; you are securing your share of reward and ongoing charity, InshaAllah.

Allah reminds us in the Qur'an:

"إِنَّمَا يَصْدُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ..."

("The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day...") (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:18)

This verse highlights our honor and responsibility as believers to support and maintain Allah’s houses of worship.

An Inspiring Story

A beautiful story from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) illustrates the importance of spending on the masjid.

One day, a poor man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked for help. The Prophet, who always encouraged his companions to support the masjid, instructed this man to go to the masjid and say, "O Allah, I am Your servant, and I am in need." The man followed the Prophet's advice, and as he made his prayer, a wealthy person who was present in the masjid noticed him and was moved by his sincerity. This wealthy man approached him and offered assistance, fulfilling his needs.

This story reminds us that spending on the masjid not only benefits the physical structure but also creates an environment where individuals can turn to Allah for their needs. It reinforces the idea that when we invest in our masjid, we are contributing to a community that fosters faith, support, and connection.

Our Immediate Goal: $8,000

To achieve our vision for uplifting the Mfazazana Masjid and Islamic Centre, we aim to raise $8,000 for essential repairs and improvements. Here’s how your contributions will be utilized:

• Renovation of Roof and Carpets: $3,000 for roof repairs and new carpets for the prayer area.
• Ablution and Plumbing Upgrades: $2,000 for modernizing ablution facilities and plumbing.
• Electrical Work: $1,000 for upgrading electrical systems to ensure safety and functionality.
• Educational Resources: $2,000 for equipping classrooms and expanding our library.

Every contribution counts. Your generosity will impact the lives of hundreds of worshippers, students, and families.

Sponsorship Levels and Rewards
