23rd January 2015 Dear Brothers and Sister in Islam, Assalamu Alaikum, MASJID BILAL CONSTRUCTION APPEAL NO 118/10A, ABEYSEKARA ROAD, DEHIWALA, SRI LANKA I’m penning this letter to you with the sole intention that we all get together and help in building the House of Allah, Masjid Bilal which is situated in Dehiwala is in need of funds to help in its construction. I happened to attend Jummah Salah at the mosque during which the appeal for construction was raised The need for construction came to being due to the existing mosque not being able to hold the crowd capacity for Jummah Salah and thus the Board of Trustees purchased the house adjoining the mosque. People pray on the road, in the purchased house and in garages of the people surrounding the mosque. Presently the house has been demolished and plans have been put up to construct an extension to house the overflowing capacity of people that attend the mosque. This is a great opportunity for the contribution of Sadaqa Jariyah, which is when a human dies, then his good deeds stop except for three: a Sadaqa Jariah (continuous charity), a beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.” – Sahih Muslim It is not how much you contribute to this cause rather it is your intention, even if you contribute Rs. 1 or Rs. 100 is worth more that the world and its entire contents to the contribution to this good cause. Just imagine for a moment all the reward of the people praying Insha Allah will come to you too till the Day of Judgment if you contribute to this cause, further Allah (SWT) will Insha Allah build a palace too for you in Janaah.
A mosque is the best of places. It is more blessed and virtuous than all other places. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The most beloved of places to Allah is the mosque,
and the most detested of places to Allah is the marketplace.” [Sahîh Muslim]
There is great reward in building a mosque for Allah’s sake. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in
Paradise.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]
I have also attached some pictures for your kind consideration below of the existing situation,
If you have any clarifications, please do visit the mosque at the above-‐mentioned address or call the President of the Trustee board Al Haj Siraj Ali on +94714317870, I have also listed down the bank account details of the mosque for people interested in directly depositing funds to the Masjid Account Masjid Bilal Commercial Bank Islamic Division, City Branch, Colombo Account # -‐ 1901000425 Swift Code – CCEYLKLX Please do see how you can contribute and do help to this good cause by spreading the message, JazakAllah,
