OAU Masjid Ramadan 1435 Fundraising

[Musodiq Bello]

Assalaamu 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh,

 

As we get ready to welcome another Ramadan, we are using this opportunity to thank you for your dedication and support towards the OAU Masjid over the years. With the help of Allah, then the generosity of people like you, the project that was almost tagged as an abandoned project has now become an central house of worship on OAU campus. On Friday 9th of May 2014, the first Jumuah prayer was conducted inside the new OAU Masjid. Alhamdu lillah!!! We pray that Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) reward you and accept all your donation as ibaadat and may He (subhanahu wa ta’ala) build beautiful houses for you in Jannah!  This is indeed a great accomplishment and we should all be thankful that Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) granted us the opportunity to be part of this noble effort.

While we now have the masjid in a usable state, the project is far from completion. We still have several tasks to be completed including

• ·     Painting of the walls
  
• ·       Completion of the Wudhu areas
  
• ·       Electrical fittings and fixtures
  
• ·       Windows, doors and burglary proofing on the ground floor
  
• ·       Parking, etc.
  

Even though the list of the pending items looks long, these are necessary for the proper utilization of the Masjid. We have come this far and we are all energized to get this project completed once and for all.

As we welcome another Ramadan later this week, we are hereby reminding you about our annual Ramadan fundraising on Sunday July 13^th, 2014 at 2.30pm Nigerian time. We are counting on your support and generous donations as always. In the meantime, we would appreciate your help in the following areas:

• a.     Provide us with your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve our fundraising efforts. We will like to reach the goal of raising the money and completing the project at the earliest possible time
  
• b.     Help us to reach out to every Muslim you know. Alhamdu lillah, we surely have a good story to tell. Our collective effort has yielded good results and we should all be thankful to Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) for the opportunity. Let us invite others to be part of this great project
  
• c.      If you know any potential donors that you will like us to contact, please send us the information for our follow up
  
• d.     If you have outstanding promises from last year’s fund raising effort, please fulfil them before Ramadan starts.
  
• e.     Your continued generosity is always appreciated
  

“Aa’ishah (radiya Llahu anha) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alaihi wasalaam) said: “O people, you should do whatever good deeds you can, for Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) until you get tired” [Al-Bukhaari, 43; Muslim, 782].”
