February 2010 – Majid Makeover

Alhamdulillah we are complete with the masjid makeover. We only require equipment to start a cooking class at the centre.

Prophet(SAW) said: “Whosoever shares in building a masjid for Allah, even if it is as small as a bird’s nest, Allah (S.W.T.) will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Ahmad)
