Ibn Taymiyyah said, “The places of the leaders and the gathering points of the ummah were the mosques. For the Prophet ﷺ established his blessed mosque upon piety. In it were performed prayer, recitation (of the Qur'an), mention (of Allah), the teaching of knowledge, and sermons. In it also took place political affairs, the raising of banners and flags, the appointment of commanders, the recognition of tribal leaders, and the congregation of Muslims to deal with matters concerning their religion and worldly affairs."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “No Muslim man who becomes accustomed to the mosques for prayer and remembrance, except that Allah welcomes him with joy (تَبَشْبَشَ) every time he leaves his house, just as the family of a traveller joyfully welcomes him upon his return.” (Ibn Majah)

Building a mosque is one of the most rewarding acts in Islam. It serves as a place of worship, education, and community growth. The virtues of constructing a mosque extend beyond this world and continue to benefit the builder (donor), even after his demise.

In Islam, charity is a fundamental act of worship that brings immense rewards. Among the most virtuous forms of charity is Sadaqah Jariyah, which means "continuous charity"—a good deed that continues to benefit people long after it has been given. Unlike one-time donations, Sadaqah Jariyah keeps yielding rewards for the giver even after their death.
