The Importance Of Mosques
At basmah, we know that without personal and spiritual development, there can be no social development. In most of the villages we work, mosques are the places where personal and spiritual development happens. Mosques also double as community centers and places of learning. It’s where people are united in worship, where men and women come to for solace and support, and where children learn to read. Mosques are the center of any community where people can congregate for their five daily prayers and Friday congregation sermons. A mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for prayers, information, education and meetings.
Faith is vital to shaping the attitudes, beliefs and practices that lay the foundation for everyday life. Faith unites people as a community, gives them strength, breeds hope, and inspires social justice as well as the perseverance to improve themselves and their lives. Within the Islamic context where the concept of Zakat obligates the fair distribution of wealth, faith is integral to development. at basmah we build community mosques in remote villages to aid development. Mosques are where people gather to worship. It’s where children learn religious manners and to read the Holy Qur’an. In mosques villagers are united as a community to practice and better understand their faith, which is vital to development.

Build a Masjid: Donate to build a mosque, FAQ
We kindly ask for your understanding that all our construction projects are granted a full year for completion. This extended timeframe allows us to meticulously progress through multiple essential stages before commencing construction. These stages include conducting a thorough needs assessment, which helps us identify crucial factors such as the location, size, and conditions of the community, as well as any challenges we may encounter, especially in remote forested areas.
It’s important to note that the cost and scale of construction projects can fluctuate significantly. Factors such as the prices of materials and labor in different regions can lead to variations in project costs. Additionally, harder-to-reach areas may incur higher expenses due to the challenges of transporting materials and labourers. However, the level of need in these remote regions can vary as well, depending on the results of our thorough needs assessment.
We extend an invitation to donors to designate a name for their project contribution. Many donors opt to honor a lost loved one, themselves, or a family member with this naming privilege. Additionally, some donors may prefer to keep their charitable acts anonymous. The plaque provided upon project completion can bear either a name or a prayer, but it will consistently feature the Donation ID that you receive upon making your generous contribution.
When you are uncertain about where to allocate your donation, it is often most impactful to contribute to our ‘Most Needed Funds.’ These funds are typically directed towards critical and urgent projects. Additionally, you can explore a diverse array of projects on our website to discover one that aligns with your specific donation preferences and criteria.

The process begins with your donation. Once completed, our field team identifies rural villages where mosques are most needed. After selecting a location, the construction typically takes 4-6 months. The entire project is completed within 12 months, Insha’Allah. We ensure you are kept updated throughout the project’s progress with regular updates, including photos and videos.

These mosques vary in size and amenities, catering to the needs of the local community. You can choose the type of mosque and location based on your preference and the needs of the area.
Beyond construction, we focus on nurturing the community’s development. Each mosque is staffed with an Imam (Islamic scholar) whose role extends beyond leading the five daily prayers. The Imam also:
Teaches children Quran in morning and after-school classes.
Provides Quran lessons for elderly community members after Isha Salah.
We ensure the Imam’s monthly salary and ongoing support for the mosque to foster an environment grounded in Islamic values.
