Background:
Majority of the people are extremely poor, with unemployment rates being the highest
in this region, they also lack the necessary education & skills. This situation affects
them socially, economically and spiritually. Their situation is such that they do not
have sufficient funds to build a Masjid to perform their obligatory Salah.

Ummah Welfare Trust trustees/volunteers, on his field visit able to identify that there
was a need for a Masjid as the local people were offering their daily prayers in their
homes. They were then able to consult the local community and determine their
needs. Through these consultations with the local community, land for the Masjid was
identified, thus the Masjid construction project came into existence.

5 times prayers in the Masjid. The people of this village are very happy. Also people
from surrounding villages come to see the mosque and perform prayers in the Masjid

considered essential for men to offer their prayers at the Masjid. One typical benefit
prayers get at the mosque is The prayer that is performed in congregation is

considered superior to the one performed alone at home. This is evident from the
following Hadith: Prayer in congregation is superior to prayer alone by twenty-seven
degrees.of Ajr [Bukhari & Muslim].
