Building a masjid is one of the greatest deeds and a Sadaqah Jariyah i.e. an ongoing charity.The benefits of building a masjid aren’t limited to provision of a place of worshiping but it also becomes a center for community growth,education, and social support.Here is an account of why contributing to the construction of a mosque is one of the abundantly rewarded acts in Islam.
The Hadith highlights the importance and benefits of building a masjid. Every Muslim who contributes to construct a Masjid in this world is promised a house in paradise,which is one of the top rewards to build a Masjid.
A Masjid serves as the community centre contributing to the spiritual development of a society while bridging the gap between the members of a society. When you donate to build a masjid, you significantly contribute to the better upbringing of a society. That’s why it is regarded as an act of Sadaqah Jariyah.
“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 fear none but Allah.”
– Surah At-Tawbah (9:18)
