MASJID NAME HERE PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT Thank you Donor Name (Donor ID: 1234) for donating towards Build a Masjid Project.
A masjid is a place of worship for Muslims, and it is typically used for daily prayers, and special events such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Masjids also serve as community centres, where Muslims can gather for social and educational activities. Many communities living in remote, rural areas lack adequate Masajid and are in desperate need of our help. AWF has identified the Masjid Project as one with high importance and aims to maximise the number of masjids rebuilt, in order to restore the spiritual, social, and cultural hubs for the Muslim population around the world.
Significance of Building a Masjid
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (continuing charity), knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him” [Muslim]. Building a masjid is a wonderful act of Sadaqah Jariyah! The reward for building a masjid is endless, and as long as people are using the masjid you’ve helped build then you will continue to receive rewards from Allah (SWT) even in the Hereafter. Additionally, Uthman ibn Affan reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 450, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 533) This hadith shows the extent to the significance, building a masjid has, in the eyes of Allah SWT.

Objectives
The first and most important objective is to provide an adequate spiritual centre for the Muslim community. Masjids are a place where people can come together to pray and learn about Islam. This sense of community and belonging can be especially important in times of stress or hardship, as it provides support and a sense of security. Having a masjid with reasonable facilities will be highly beneficial.
In addition to its spiritual role, a masjid can also serve as a community centre. Masjids offer educational programs, social services, and other activities that enable the wider community to gain knowledge about Islam and strengthen their faith. For this reason, Mufti Abdul Wahab has always paid special attention to proposals or requests regarding rebuilding a Masjid.
Furthermore, masjids also serve as a source of civic engagement. Masjids can be a platform for community organizing and can provide opportunities for people to get involved in issues that affect their local area and society at large.
Project Implementation
STEP ONE
An in-depth survey of the area is conducted with the involvement of the community members to find a location where a masjid is needed the most.
Challenges Faced
STEP TWO
A project manager is appointed, who hires a team of experts and supervises the tasks and ensures that funds are utilised according to the plan. Building materials are then purchased and work is started as soon as possible.
STEP THREE
Monitoring teams regularly visit and evaluate the quality of the building work. The construction work is completed in approximately 11-months.
