Bismillahir rahmanir rahim,

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Masjid Khadijah - Sadaqah Jaariyah Project
As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Allah says in His Glorious book:

“Wealth and children are the adornments of the present life. But the things that last are virtuous deeds.” [al-Kahf:46]

With the help of Allah, we, the relatives and loved ones of the individuals named below who have returned to their Lord, are aiming to raise £4,000 to build a masjid in the Central African Republic on their behalf:

• Azadur Rahman Chowdhury
• Husne Ara Chowdhury
• Sadequr Rahman Chowdhury
• Salequr Rahman Chowdhury
• Habibur Rahman Chowdhury
• Rahela Khanom Chowdhury (Rahela Bari)
• Abdul Bari
• Manir Uddin Ahmad
• Akhlaqur Rahman Choudhury
• Mofidur Rahman Choudhury

It is our hope that this will be a source of continuous blessing and reward (Sadaqah Jaariyah) for them. The masjid will be named in honour of our mother Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, who was the wife, supporter and comfort of our beloved prophet Muhammad (SAW). It was she who provided him with the strength and stability required to fulfill his mission when it was at its toughest stage. In the same spirit, we pray that this mosque will give relief, solace and spiritual comfort to Muslims in the Central African Republic who have faced persecution in recent years and seen their homes, businesses and mosques torn down in front of their eyes. Recent experience has shown that when new mosques are being built there the locals are filled with joy and rush to fill them.

We will provide updates on the construction of the mosque as well as the activities that take place there once it is complete, in shaa Allah. The amount required to complete the project is tiny compared to the rewards and blessings it will bring, and is a very small amount compared to what Allah has blessed us all in terms of the wealth we have. Anything in excess of the target amount will be put towards making the masjid larger than the standard size that £4,000 will purchase.

Please dig deep and give generously.

The Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except three: sadaqah jaariyah, beneficial knowledge (which he has left behind), or a righteous child who will pray for him." (al-Tirmidhi).
