UPDATE: 22 April 2021

Assalaamu alaikum.

Strive to Succeed are beyond thrilled to announce that Masjid Al-Ihsan is now complete and being used by our brothers and sisters in Gambia (see cover picture). Alhumdu-lillah, alhumdu-lillah!

We thank and praise Allah for this opportunity. We thank all our donors for your generosity, everyone who supported the project with their ad’iyyah and messages, and the team at Muslim Charity for helping to make this happen. Jazakum Allahu khairan.

May Allah accept it from everyone as a sadaqah jariyah and may He reserve us a house next to Him in Jannah. Ameen!

==========================================

Bismillah. We're a group of friends who have come together to build a masjid in Gambia; to seek Allah's pleasure; support an impoverished community with their worship; and to establish a sadaqah jariyah project for our parents, ancestors, future generations and loved ones. This is the aim for which we 'strive to succeed'.

Many of us in our friendship group have lost at least one parent, and we all yearn to do good deeds and see them again in Jannah, which is why we want to do a project that will please Allah and benefit his creation, and we inspired by the Qur’an and ahadith.

“And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith, to them shall We join their offspring, and We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in anything. Every person is a pledge for that which he has earned.” [Surah At-Tur: 21]

Uthman ibn Affan reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 439, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 533]

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger.” [Al-Muʻjam al-Awsaṭ 6192]
