Urgent appeal: At-Tawheed Foundation
Stoke on Trent!!!

Assalaamu 'Alaikum waRahmatullaahi waBarakaatuhu,

I pray that you are in the best of health and imaan. I have an urgent appeal to make to you personally.

Some good brothers I know personally (also Qari ZakaUllah Saleem is involved) have alhamdulillah secured a building in the centre of Stoke on Trent. It is an old social and sports club building and it is large in size - has 3 stories and a car park. The building will be a masjid and Islamic centre inshaAllaah.

The da'wah of Tawheed and Sunnah does not have a centre in Stoke and this building is ideally located in a Muslim area. There is a local Barelawi mosque in the area but it is being closed down so this masjid will inshaAllaah will be the only one serving the central area of Stoke.

This is their statement: "At-Tawheed foundation was setup by a group of individuals with the goal of spreading the true teachings of Islam to the Muslims and non-Muslims in the city of Stoke on Trent. This is a non-profit making dawah organisation. Our aim is to serve the local community and their youth, to act as a focal point for activities and as a learning centre for the youth and elders in the community and not just another Masjid."

I'm sure you can along with me, see the massive da'wah potential of this building and the resultant fact that there is hopes of reward with Allaah for those who involve themselves with this effort, inshaAllaah.

The building was bought at auction for £133,000 (not including legal costs) - a NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of £13,300 has already been paid, and the rest of the money (£120,000) is due in only 19 days (26th February 2009). There are two main ways you can help.

1 - DONATE

The brothers are requesting 1200 donations of £100, but if you can put in £500 then it only requires 240 donations. Remember the authentic hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alaihi wasallam) "Whoever builds a masjid in this life, Allah will build them a house in Paradise" (Sahih Bukhari). Whatever amount you give will be towards your home in Paradise where you can live for ever inshaAllaah!

Remember also the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alaihi wasallam) "Charity does not in any way decrease one's wealth." (Sahih Muslim) So please give with firm belief in the Messenger's words - the money you give will not decrease your wealth at all. So come on please donate what you can - and don't look down on any amount - any small amount could save you from the Hell fire on the Day of Judgement.

Remember also your donation can be gift-aided if you are a UK taxpayer.

2 - LOAN THEM THE MONEY

If you cannot donate money, or can only donate a small amount, then please loan the brothers some more. You will inshaAllaah get reward for this and the money will be returned to you once it has been raised. InshaAllaah once the building is up and running, prayers are being prayed and jummahs held, talks and conferences organised - then the money will be raised quite quickly. The point here is to not let the time lapse. The reward for giving a loan is half that of donating the money so it is a huge reward too and you get your money back too.

SPREAD THE WORD TO OTHERS

Maybe you know other brothers and sisters who would be willing to help this cause - please tell them about it. Let's get this money raised so that the building is not lost. You will also gain some reward from encouraging others to do this good deed inshaAllaah.

WHERE TO DONATE?

The brothers have produced a leaflet which contains a donation form - which importantly has a Gift Aid declaration to increase your donation. You can pick one up from Green Lane mosque, or you can get one from me.

Account name: At-Tawheed Foundation
