The Masjid of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was a centre for the world, not just for learning but also for community service catering for the homeless, poor and needy.
We have now secured planning permission to launch an exciting new project. The establishment of Luton's first Madinah - a community centre which will facilitate youth engagement, social services and support, education, dialogue between the towns diverse communities and collaborating in good.
Help us make this a reality by donating and spreading the word.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
“The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people.
The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy,
or remove one of his troubles, or forgive his debt, or feed his hunger.
That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this mosque in Medina for a month.
Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him, then Allah Almighty will make his footing firm across the bridge on the day when the footings are shaken.”
[Sahih, al-Mu’jam al-Awsaṭ lil-Ṭabarānī 6026]
