Today, on a Sunday when most of us are spending time relaxing with our families, I was humbled by the sincerity of one brother.
He travelled over an hour simply to visit the mosque. He came asking for nothing. His sole purpose was to give us encouragement, strength and remind us to keep going.
He walked into the unfinished main prayer hall, quietly sat on a chair and began reciting on his misbaha.
As I stood above in the ladies’ gallery and looked down, I took this photo.
For a moment, I didn’t see the bare walls, the dust or the building work. I imagined this hall complete. I imagined it filled with people remembering Allah, praying, making dua and finding peace.
Allah filled my heart with hope.
Today it was one sincere brother sitting there remembering Allah. Insha’Allah, one day soon, there will be hundreds.
May Allah allow us to complete this house of His, accept every penny donated, every hour given and every sincere dua made for it. Ameen.
