“Whoever builds a mosque, desiring thereby Allah’s pleasure, Allah builds for him the like of it in paradise.” [Sahih Bukhari]
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rehmathullahi Wa Barakathahu
There's a new community center being built in Athens, Georgia and this is such a great and rewarding charity and it will serve as an ongoing charity for you after your death inshaAllah. Not just will you have a house waiting for you in Jannah but you will also have a mountain of deeds to meet Allah with on the day of judgement.
It doesn't matter how small or big the amount you donate is, it could be as little as 1 dollar. Allah is asking you for just a small amount of your money that HE swt provided you with in this duniya for exchange of a PALACE in eternal paradise and his pleasure. This isn't just any kind of charity. This is a mosque, a house of worship, imagine for every person that prays in it, all the congregational prayers that will be held in it inshaAllah from Friday prayers to Taraweeh and Qiyyam every year in Ramadan, if someone reads Quran in it or remembers Allah's name in it, you will get rewards for it even if you you live on the other side of the world, even if you're 6 ft under the ground, you will share in the rewards inshaAllah.
With your donation or without, this masjid inshaAllah will be built just like the thousands of mosques being built everyday all over the world but it's just a matter of you taking advantage of this opportunity Allah gave you to be a part of this and to spend in his way from what he has given you. Allah doesn't need your money or your charity, YOU need it for yourself on the day you meet him. Don't withhold your money from Allah. Donate generously for Allah's sake on this blessed day.
The more you give for Allah's sake, the more Allah will give you and increase your rizq and sustenance and the more you withhold from him the more he will withhold from you. If you don't donate today, chances are you're not going to donate at all. Don't procrastinate, donate now from what you have in your pockets, we never know if we will ever get this chance again.
How often do we get an opportunity to contribute in the construction of a house of worship for Allah!
For those of you who have already donated the last 5 years that we have working the community center project, we want to say thank you, alhamdulilah we are already sowing our seeds in this duniya by seeing the progression of the construction. To all those who already made a donation for this amazing and virtuous cause. Allah has your reward not us.
As you can see, this project isn't cheap. It's $2,000,000. It's a house of worship being built from scratch. You're not being asked to pay it all, you're only being asked to pay just a small portion of it.
JazzakumAllah kheir and may Allah make your Palace in Firdous as beautiful as this humble and extremely virtuous deed. It doesn't matter how you donate what matters is that you actually do. We urge all of you to take part in this amazing deed. Please donate button or send your check directly to the mosque or if you have any problems with the donation for some reason, you can email at [email protected]. This campaign will be going on until complete the project inshaaAllah.
Allah swt says in Surat al Kahf- "Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope." Your good deeds is what matters the most in this world not your wealth. Here you're being asked to give up some of your wealth for a good deed.
May Allah accept from all of us.
