Alhamdulillah, Muslim Hands is honoured to offer you the historic opportunity to light the Qibali Masjid Grand Prayer Hall at Al-Aqsa. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a part of saving the history of this Blessed Masjid.

Masjid Al-Aqsa is the third holiest site in Islam. It was the first qiblah of the Muslims and the site of the Prophet’s (saw) miraculous Ascension into the heavens during Al-Isra wal-Mi’raj. 

For over a decade, Muslim Hands have been working closely with the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf, the Jordanian authority that manages the affairs of Al-Aqsa, to help preserve this historic site (see map below). Last Ramadan, thanks to your incredible generosity and support, we were even able to light up extensive areas of the masjid for the first time in over 30 years, an immensely rewardable project, in sha’ Allah.

The status of Al-Aqsa is so high that the reward of praying in Al-Aqsa is a thousand times greater than praying anywhere else (except Masjid Al-Haram and the Prophet’s mosque). To pray in this mosque is a huge blessing, but for those of you who are unable to, lighting the lamps of Al-Aqsa carries the same reward as praying in it.

The current lighting system at the Qibali Masjid was installed in 1986, and the old wiring means there is a huge risk of fire. With your help, we can illuminate the entire masjid for the benefit of hundreds of thousands of worshippers to come, in sha’ Allah.

In this blessed month of Ramadan, the month in which the rewards for our good deeds are multiplied, don’t miss out on the chance to preserve our history and light the lamps of the Masjid Al-Aqsa. Donate today to gain the reward of praying in the Sacred Sanctuary.
