Mosques hold a special place in Islam. They are not just places of worship but also centers of learning, community gatherings, and social welfare. The Quran and Hadith emphasize the importance of building mosques and maintaining them with sincerity and devotion.
The Importance of Mosques in Islam
Building a mosque is considered an act of great virtue in Islam. The Quran mentions:
“The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, give zakah, and do not fear except Allah. For it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided.” (Surah At-Tawbah 9:18)
This verse highlights the role of believers in constructing and maintaining mosques. It signifies that only those who have strong faith in Allah take responsibility for these sacred places.
Hadith on Building Mosques
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also encouraged the construction of mosques. He said:
“Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
This Hadith shows the immense reward associated with mosque construction. It is a sadaqah jariyah (continuous charity), meaning the rewards continue even after a person’s death.
How Building Mosques Benefits the Community
Mosques are not only for prayer but also serve as centers for education, social welfare, and charity. They unite communities and provide a space where people can gather, seek knowledge, and support one another. Ujala International is committed to building mosques that serve as pillars of faith and community support.
