Wa'alaykumSalaam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
JazakAllaah khair, that's the one!!! REPS! FROM ME, JJ, TIA AND MEJ InshaAllaah!
ThanKoo A_c got the hadith I wanted now!
AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakatuh.
"Whoever lives amongst you will see much differing, so adhere to my Sunnah" Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه و سلم)
Are u building this masjid as a sadaqa jariya for your grand parents?
Where will its location be?
First question: I'll answer inabit inshaAllaah, we're actually extending it, it has no dome or minaret or nothing, looks abit like a box..atm :XMy granpapa wanted big and stuff, he worKed hard to build the mosque, unfortunately he passed away before he could fulfill his dreams of making this masjid bigger, he passed away few days after his brother, granpapa2, so poppa and granpapa2's middle son will be going to Bangladesh with the money we raise and make the masjid much bigger and better, with more facilities etc, make dua for us, we need roughly 10K
Second question: Bangladesh

Who ever builds a Masjid for Allah, Allah will Build for him a similar House in Paradise" (Hadith)
To spend in the path of Allah Ta'ala by way of propagating the Deen of Allah is highly meritorious and rewarding. Reward attained through the performance of certain good deeds affords the continuity of reward even after death.
Indeed fortunate are those who have reaped such tremendous benefits and Insha Allah will bear the fruits in the hereafter.
Abu Hurairah (RadiAllahAnho)) has reported the messenger of Allah as saying, "Among the actions and good deeds for which a believer will continue to receive reward, after his death, are knowledge which he taught and spread, a good son whom he left behind, or a copy of the Qur'an which he left as a legacy, or a mosque which he erected, or a house which he built for the traveller, or a stream which he caused to flow, or a Sadaqah which he gave from his property when he was alive and well, for which he will continue to receive reward after his death". (Ibn Majah - Mishkat)
Masha'Allah you will all gain great reward insha'Allah and everyone who prays in your mosque you will get reward even when in the grave.
The design depends on the finance available, but i would take you inspiration from Mosques in the Gulf (Masha'Allah Oman has beautiful mosques, the UAE and of course Saudia Arabia... but again depends on finance.
Finally, Contact local muslim shops etc... give them buckets for donations, Contact Islam channel and arrange an advert , dont forget to set up a bank account where bank can donate.

JazakAllaah khair,

InshaAllaah and hopefully my grandparents too because they are the ones who worKed so hard for this to happen, but qadr Allaah I guess, they didn't get to do the extension done,
The design depends on the finance available, but i would take you inspiration from Mosques in the Gulf (Masha'Allah Oman has beautiful mosques, the UAE and of course Saudia Arabia... but again depends on finance.
As for the finance JJ can get all her mates to give money and all my family members are putting stuff in, so inshaAllaah, by the time it's time to go do the job, we should have enough money for everything we intended to do,
Finally, Contact local muslim shops etc... give them buckets for donations, Contact Islam channel and arrange an advert , dont forget to set up a bank account where bank can donate.
Yeah we have donation bucket, dad has to put em in his shop though, that is a good idea, dint think of that, yes dads setting up a bank account!
Hope this helps
Yes JazaKAllaah Khair, your help is much appreciated.

Have you thought of trynna sort out something with Bangla TV/Channel S .... don't they do those Masjid fundraising programmes ... or was that just in Ramadhaan....
***** قال ابن أبي مليكة : أدركت ثلاثين من أصحاب النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - كلهم يخاف النفاق على نفسه
Ibn Abī Mulaykah said: "I encountered thirty Companions of the Prophet, every one of them fearing hypocrisy for himself." [Muslim]
sister I did not find many helpful English things, so I summarized and translated this arabic article as much as I can
There are five important points you must follow in designing mosques
first: chose the good place to build the masjid
you must chose a good place to build the masjid like building it in a clean area where there is nothing can disrespect the honor and dignity of the masjid
second: the direction of the masjid (qibla)
make sure that it face the qibla
thrid: the first row
try to make the first row as big as you can, because you know that all muslims are competing over praying in the first row...which mean avoid putting a lot of decorations those architecture shapes in that place because you will just waste a lot of free spaces on such things
fourth: the columns
its already known that praying in the connected rows is better than the split ones, try to reduce putting columns "as much as you can" on the center area
fifth: the islamic patterns and designs
recently, many people are competing over who design the most amazing patterns on the walls of the masjid, and a lot of them are just overdo it...so dont fall in that.
putting a lot of patterns may distract the concentration of people there
sixth: the wudu places
those places need not to be in the same direction of the masjid's qipla
I hope this help sis
and there are hadiths for every single things I mentioned before, if you want I will look for the correct English translation of those hadiths *I am not sure if I can translate them well I guess*

JazakAllaahu khair,

This one is Dha'if, I've seen the takhrij for this Hadits, syaikh Ahmad bin Muhammad Syakir did not put this Hadits in his Shahih Musnad Imam Ahmad.
Thou could invite syaikh Zakir Abdul Karim Naik to do lectures in the Masjid, in whatever topics that he wishes to give in the Masjid. He must be in there until the money fully raise for the Masjid.

Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
Wa'alaykum,salaam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
So that one is weak? Then we will avoid putting that on the donation form,
As for the sheikh travelling that is kinda unimaginable at the moment,
ThanKoo for letting us know,
JazakAllaah khair akhi,
P.s SiKKKKKKKK name,
AsalamuALaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Dearest Imaan Person,
Yeah I agree, I think I should sell marshmallows, how you make doughnuts? Get a chocolate fountain and let peoples dip their marshmallows in it, sounds cool,
AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

syaikh Abdul Karim Naik might be happy to go to your Masjid for that occasion, and plus say to him "We want to record your speech."
We want to hear him speaking about "Tawassul wa Tabaruk."
