| Mosque
in Adelaide |
Great emphasis on the building of mosques has been laid from the very beginning of Islam, there are three fundamental reasons for this.
-
A mosque facilitates and promotes worship of Allah and therefore fosters a personal bond of love and devotion between man and his Creator-God.
-
A mosque is essentially a first step towards fostering unity and brotherhood amongst people and consequently, a powerful force in our endeavours to unite mankind.
-
A mosque provides an effective tool for inviting people to Allah and is conducive to the propagation and progress of Islam.
Ahmadiyyat is the Renaissance of Islam and it was therefore all the
more important that we carry on this process of building of mosques
worldwide with even greater speed and devotion for our own benefit and
benefit of mankind. Allah says in the Holy Quran:
"And I have not created the Jinn and the men but that they may worship Me". (51:57).
If you consider this verse of the Holy Quran, we learn that the purpose of man's creation is to establish the worship of God. Therefore, the places most adorable and lovable to Allah are those that are supportive and helpful in achieving this purpose - namely the mosque.
The
Holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said "O
ye people, praise Allah. Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah, The
Exalted, shall build a house for such a one in paradise".
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that "If you want
Islam to progress build a mosque. Wherever our Jamaat is established,
a mosque should be built. Our Jama'ats progress is founded on the construction
of mosques. If there are only a few Muslims in a village or a city,
build a mosque with good intentions and God will bring more Muslims
to that place..." (Malfoozat Vol 2, p. 42)
Hazrat Khalifatul Massih II (May Allah be pleased with him) said "May
mosques be constructed from one end of the world to the other and may
Azan be heard from every mosque. Wherever the sun may rise, it may see
that the holy name of God is being raised there. My desire is that there
should be a mosque at every place in the world".
