Niigata City Masjid Project

This one goes out especially to Muslims in Japan.

Our Muslim brothers and sisters in Niigata are now seeking financial assistance to buy a house meant to be used as a masjid.

The Muslim community there have already identified a suitable house for this purpose, priced at 15,000,000 yen. They have so far managed to collect about 11,000,000 yen and in need of additional 4,000,000 yen.

Reasons for needing a place of their own?
They used to rent a room, but it was too small for everyone to get together.
What makes it even more urgent is that the neighbors have started to complain about the crowd and the 'noise' during Jumu'ah, tarawih and daily solat, thus they had been asked to vacant the room the soonest possible. These reasons are often quoted in many other areas, including in Yokohama when they decided to create their own mosque.

In line with the hadith "Whoever builds a mosque, desiring thereby Allāh's pleasure, Allāh builds for him the like of it in paradise", I humbly urge all who could, to please donate to:
