Building a Masjid | The Heart of a Quarter

In a quarter with no prayer space it covers laying a foundation, raising a wall, measuring the qibla, connecting an ablution place and forming the first row.

With rows formed at five prayers, the masjid becomes a center where neighbours meet before and after prayer and troubles and joys are shared.

The dated, located record of the rising masjid and the first row formed is uploaded to your panel within 72 hours.

If you wish, your name is inscribed on the entrance plaque as a remembrance, not for show but for supplication. You may also have it written in the name of a departed loved one.

It is built in the crowded quarters of greatest need, with no prayer space at all, holding worship in scattered corners.

As far as possible they are met locally, so the quarter's economy is supported too and the building is taken up as its own.

The plan extends to the other prayer-spaceless quarters of that region too, but each record is logged to a set building and followed.
