Community MosqueS
Muslim Global Relief helps to construct Mosques throughout the Muslim world and thrive on bringing communities together since a Mosque plays a fundamental role in A community. Mosques are the centre point of any town or village, a place where people can congregate for their five daily prayers and Friday congregation sermons. Not only for prayers, a Mosque serves as a place where people can also come together for news, information, education, social gatherings and meetings. Since religion is an integral part of daily life for many of our beneficiaries MGR demands that religious and spiritual needs are also provided for along with physical ones.
THE OBJECTIVES OF MUSLIM GLOBAL RELIEF’S MOSQUE PROGRAMME ARE AS FOLLOWS: Muslim Global Relief the Mosque 1 Fisorprimarily, a place for prayer, to encourage the practice of the Islamic faith in the communities, and a centre of community life; slam preaches unity of the spiritual 2 Iand the worldly aspects of life therefore community gatherings in Mosques include both spiritual and social elements; slam emphasises the importance of 3 Ieducation and so teaching and learning are the fundamentals of our community Mosque programme. Since the 2004 Tsunami until the Pakistan Floods of 2010, hundreds of Mosques have been destroyed or severely damaged, resulting in many local communities being deprived of such an important institution. So far, MGR has built three Mosques in Ghari Habib Ullah, in District Balakot, Kashmir, one on the outskirts of Muzaffarabad itself and another situated in a small community called Dana Village in Muzaffarabad. Another completed Mosque is located at Masjid Haji Ibrahim, in Kuningan, West Java, Indonesia; the reason for selecting this area is due to the fact that a severe earthquake recently devastated the area and it had been without a permanent Mosque for over five years.
