Kitabu And New Azare Mosque -By Mallam Musbahu Magayaki
I would like to use this media outlet to applaud a commendable effort as well as religious contribution made by Alhaji. Musa Bello (Kitabu) for the construction of a new Juma’at Masjid along Sardauna road Azare.
Islamically, building a mosque is a wonderful act of Sadaqah Jariyah! The reward for building a mosque is unending, and as long as people are benefiting from the mosque you’ve helped build then you will continue to receive rewards from Allah (SWT) even in the Hereafter.
Religiously, At the heart of any Islamic community, a mosque can be found. Mosques are as old as Islam itself; they are the beating heart of our community and stand as a physical example of our faith. The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) even helped in the construction of the first mosque in Medina, as it was part of his will to define a place of worship for Muslims everywhere.
However, a mosque provides us with so much more than a simple house of worship though, it is a precious sanctuary that provides a place for individual enlightenment, education and moral guidance. Inside the hallowed walls of a blessed masjid is where we teach our children the Qur’an, where we come to honour and worship Allah (SWT) and where we can come together for special occasions in the community, such as holidays, weddings and funerals.
Happily enough, As Muslims, we recognise the importance of these beautiful places of worship, but do you know what the benefits of building a mosque are? The reward for building a mosque is great and ongoing; for every prayer said inside a mosque you’ve helped build, Allah (SWT) will reward you in Jannah. As well as the rewards you can receive for building a mosque, the community in which you’ve built the mosque will benefit as well!
In a nutshell, I would like to encourage the subject to redouble his efforts as he is usually doing towards the progress of the true religion of Allah (Islam) as well as to advise all Muslims ummah to emulate this good act by contributing not only building a mosque, there are many ways of donation in order to be rewarded by Allah (S.W.T).
May we be guided!
