Build a Masjid as Sadaqah Jariyah: The Ultimate Guide
Building a masjid is one of the most rewarding forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. Here is how to contribute.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." (Bukhari and Muslim). Building a masjid is one of the greatest forms of Sadaqah Jariyah.
Why Building a Masjid Is the Ultimate Sadaqah Jariyah
A masjid serves the community for decades — sometimes centuries. Every prayer performed within it, every Quran lesson taught, every community gathering hosted, every traveller who finds shelter — all generate ongoing rewards for the builder.
Where Are Masjids Needed?
In many rural communities across Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Africa, there is no proper mosque. Communities pray in open fields, under trees, or in makeshift structures. A permanent masjid transforms a community's spiritual and social life.
How Much Does It Cost?
- £1,500 — Contribute to a community masjid project
- £5,000 — Build a small village masjid
- £15,000 — Medium masjid with wudu facilities
- £30,000+ — Full-size masjid with minaret and madrasah
Dedicate a Masjid
You can dedicate a masjid to a deceased loved one. A plaque is placed acknowledging the dedication, and the ongoing rewards benefit both the donor and the person it is dedicated to.
