Help us to build our Masjid

New Masjid Building

The reward is truly immense, Allaah’s Messenger (may the peace and salutations of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Whoever builds a Mosque for the sake of Allaah, Allaah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Reported by Bukhaaree and Muslim).

On an occasion, the noble Companion, Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) addressed his companions saying:

“I ask you by Allaah and Islaam! Do you know that the Mosque of the Prophet (may the peace and salutations of Allaah be upon him) was too small for its people, so the Messenger of Allaah (may the peace and salutations of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Who will purchase the land of the family of so-and-so and add it to this Mosque in exchange for better than that in Paradise?’ So I bought it with the core of of my wealth and presented it to the Messenger.” (Reported authentically by at-Tirmidhee, no. 3703)

So, O Salafi! Do you not wish to be counted amongst the pious who have a house built for them in Paradise? Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) took from the core of his wealth to aid the expansion of the Mosque. Do you not seek to emulate the likes of Uthmaan? Again your donation will be a continuous charity for you, even after your death. For every person that prays in this Mosque,  for every child that learns to read, recite and memorise Qur’aan, for every person that sits in the daily classes, for every attendee at the conferences, for you there is a reward! Imagine, O brother and O sister, indeed Allaah rewards abundantly the doers of good. At present we have daily Qur’aan classes for 150 children, conferences attended by thousands throughout the year, daily classes attended by hundreds – imagine the reward, O seeker of good!

    I wanted to know if, by donating to the masjid via a middleman service like Paypal, not all of the money will be received by the masjid? Would it be better to donate directly from a bank account?
