Story
A masjid is at the heart of any local Muslim community. It provides a place for its worshippers to pray and contemplate as well as being a hub for educational programmes and other everyday services. The role of the masjid is to help people learn more about Islam and to nurture their moral and spiritual development. In a rural village a masjid is much more than a place for worship. Masjids are a symbol for hope and the heart of community life. By building a masjid, you will not only earn the reward of providing a community with a house of Allah (swt), but your Sadaqah Jariyah will continue giving benefit for generations to come In Sha Allah.
Rise supports response:
Since February 2020, our donors have built 3 mosques in remote villages in Eastern Uganda. These mosques replaced an old structure built from bamboo sticks and straws with capacity for 20 people to pray in. Our team noted that these structures would be destroyed in extreme weather conditions. The new structure built by Rise Support is made from bricks, sand and cement with a maximum capacity of 150. An increase of 650%
- Mosques in Uganda start from £4,000
-construction can take between 3-7 weeks
- Our mosques provide a place of workship for over 150 people daily.
Those who spend in charity will be richly rewarded. [Quran 75:10]
Sadaqah wipes out sins like water extinguishes fire. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W)
