عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ “ مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ كَمَفْحَصِ قَطَاةٍ أَوْ أَصْغَرَ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ”أخرجه ابن ماجه (738) وصححه الالباني في الترغيب والترهيب
It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that: The Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, like a sparrow’s nest for Allah or even smaller, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”
– Narrated by Ibn Majah (738) and authenticated by Al-Albani in Targheeb wat tarheeb.
Appeal for Expansion of Taybah Centre
Building a mosque with adequate prayer facilities gives a Muslim community a sacred space to share faith and worship in peace. Alhamdulillah, Taybah Relief is on a mission to expand the Taybah Centre in Leicester to accommodate more worshippers in the wake of increasing communal activities.
Since the last extension of Taybah Centre in 2013, there have not been any significant upgrades in facilities. Now the masjid has a shortage of space, particularly during special occasions and there is a need to fulfil the daily running costs. In addition, we aim to expand the dawah programme, youth programme, and madrassah facilities to allow everyone to participate in Islamic education, research, and dawah.
We aim to make the following improvements immediately:
- Proposed Expansion of the Men’s Prayer Room: We aim to expand the men’s prayer room by constructing an extension above the rear of the mosque.
- Improved Accessibility to the Men’s Prayer Hall: We intend to modify the interior of the men’s prayer hall to facilitate unobstructed entry and exit.
- Endowment (Waqf): We plan to establish an endowment (Waqf) to support the ongoing maintenance of the masjid and the charitable and Dawa projects.
- Enhanced Accessibility to the Women’s Prayer Hall: We propose to renovate the women’s prayer hall and install accessible entrances to accommodate individuals with special needs.
- Quranic Study Facility: We aim to create a dedicated space within the mosque for the study and teach of the Holy Quran.
