| #5 Napier Islamic Centre ( link ) | 🌙 *Build a House for Allah — Leave a Legacy Beyond This Life* 🌙
The Muslim community of Napier is striving to establish the *first ever masjid in Napier*
The Prophet ﷺ said:
> “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.”
> — *Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim*
Every dollar given in these sacred days carries immense weight with Allah. This is an opportunity to invest in a *Sadaqah Jariyah* that may continue benefiting generations to come.
Let us come together to build not just a structure, but a spiritual home for the Muslims of Hawke’s Bay and all who pass through it.
🤲 Please donate, share, and keep this project in your duas.
May Allah accept from every contributor, place barakah in their wealth, forgive their sins, ease their hardships, and grant them homes in Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen. Please see link. |
| #6 Whangārei Islamic Centre ( link ) | By donating to the Whangārei Mosque Extension, you aren't just purchasing land; you are establishing a legacy of Sadaqah Jariyah. You will reap rewards every time a prostration is made, a holy verse is taught, or a weary traveler finds shelter. Let us build our tomorrow and secure our shade in the Hereafter, together. Please see link. |
إِن نَّقُولُ إِلَّا ٱعْتَرَىٰكَ بَعْضُ ءَالِهَتِنَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ ۗ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُشْهِدُ ٱللَّهَ وَٱشْهَدُوٓا۟ أَنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ
"“We only say that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.” He said, “I call God to witness, and you to witness, that I am innocent of what you associate."
The Holy Quran · Hud (Hud) · 11:54
