Intentions and Overall Vision

Islam is built on 5 pillars, and likewise, there are 5 intentions for Muṣṭafā Mount:

1. To raise the Name of God uppermost
2. To establish a waqf (religious endowment)
3. To take responsibility for the raising of the next generation in accordance with the prophetic way. Our Legacy: Their Future
4. To develop a blueprint for sacred space in the West which exemplifies the prophetic way
5. To develop our own ‘independent’ sources of food and water

Our Legacy, Their Future

We have an extremely important duty to benefit and serve the society of today, equally important is what we leave behind (our legacy) and how we prepare the next generations (Their Future). Mustafa Mount and the broader work of Greensville are already having a positive impact on local, regional and national levels and the funds raised are a really important to realise the broader vision.
 

The Name: Muṣṭafā Mount

Al-Ḥabīb ʿUmar bin Ḥafīẓ blessed the site with the name of ‘Muṣṭafā Mount’, thus connecting it to one of the names of the beloved Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ.  Its meanings include ‘chosen (and ‘chosen as the finest’), selected, pure, and free of all deficiency.’   This name also connects the Muṣṭafā Mount site to al-Ḥabīb ʿUmar’s own establishment Dār al-Muṣṭafā, which is renowned for teaching sacred knowledge to thousands of students and teachers from around the world, many of whom have gone on to open their own centres of learning.
