The Refurbish Africa Mosque Program

“As I have travelled throughout the world I see many places have adequate

mosque facilities and many places that are in dire need for a Masjid. I remember

entering a derelict Masjid in Malawi where I found a pig asleep in the Masjid! We

need to focus on refurbishing the existing Mosques and filling the ones we have as

well as finding where the real need for a Masjid is before rushing to build a new

mosque as many have done.” – John Fontain (Volunteer Sierra Leone)

The Islamic Centre Edgware in Partnership with Al Balad launched the Refurbish

Africa Mosque Project raising just under £10,000 for this worthwhile project.

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.” Sahih al-Bukhari 439, Sahih Muslim 533

We are now in need of your generous donations to continue this worthwhile

project In’sha Allah.

This presentation showcases the first project, the Oluwa Tobi Mosque renovation in Lagos Nigeria, which

is almost complete In’sha Allah.
