A community that is united prospers in many aspects. Nothing unites a Muslim community more than their 5 daily congregational prayers in a masjid as it creates a sense of belonging and togetherness in the community.

A masjid does not only act as a place for worship, it also plays a role as a community center which brings the residents together to learn and grow as a unit. In addition, a masjid serves as a platform to pass on the beautiful teachings of Islam to the young and new learners and a place for joyous occasions and celebrations.

For every good and authentic practice that the people learn about, our donors will share in the reward for helping to facilitate it. 

Standing together for the daily prayers teaches us to unite in obeying the commands of Allah, putting aside petty differences and to stand firm. Standing shoulder to shoulder, rich and poor with the strong and weak together promotes a sense of belonging and a strong kinship in a community. All of this and much more can be achieved with helping complete the of Masjid Abu Bakar Ash-Shiddiq.

We believe that an uplifting environment will empower and inspire these low-income families to overcome the difficulties and poverty. Most importantly, the place they will call home would be a safe and conducive place for the upbringing of their children.

The building of a masjid is a way for a person to continue to earn a multitude of blessings even after death. How?

Abu Hurairah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).” [Muslim].
