  • The homes of the Widowed

Effort

This is an ongoing initiative, established under the banner of MUBZ Relief. Installations began in July 2023 and will continue with the will of Allāh and the support from out community and donors.

Inspiration

Nabī spoke highly and supplicated for those who serve and build the house of Allāh Ta’ālā in anyway.

One of the companions, Tamīm al-Dārī brought some oil candles from Damascus to Madīnah. When it became dark in the Masjid, he had the candles lit. When Nabī came to the masjid and seen that it was enlightened with candles, he became very happy.

He asked,” Who did it?” The Şahābah replied, “Tamim ad-Dari did it.”

Thereupon, Nabī said to Tamīm al-Dārī,” You illuminated Islām and beautified the Masjid. May Allāh illuminate you in the world and the hereafter.”

(Qurţubī, Ibn Hajar)
