A young man from our Community came to the Masjid this afternoon & wanted to pray 2 Units of Prayer.
Even though the Masjid was closed, I let him in.
He made Wudhu, and he went in the Main Hall, I could see that he was visibly upset.
And highly emotional.
He stood for a few minutes.
And he then prayed 2 Units of Prayer.
Sat for a few minutes and then came out to the Office.
He expressed a lot sadness at how the Masjid was empty, and how sad he was that it was like this especially during Ramadhaan.
I just gave him some general encouragement and words of comfort, and he asked how the Masjid was doing financially.
I told him that we hardly get any donations via the usual way as no one is coming in and out of here.
And that we have an Annual shortfall of £70,000.
And if I could get 70 people to donate £1,000 each then AlhūmduLillāh that would be a major success.
The young guy pulled his phone out, and put £1,000 from his account straight into the Masjid’s account, right there and then!
He told me he had saved that money to buy a car.
I was overwhelmed.
I made Duaa’ for him, and thanked him.
And he was very calm and said I will save up again, just please let the Masjid open.
We all know the young man, works locally and doesn’t have a high paid job.
But his love and attachment to the house of Allah allowed him to give from what Allah gave him.
May Allah put his donation in his Meezan-al-Hasanat on the Great Day.
الله أكبر
I shared the story with a few close brothers and one of those brothers buys and sells cars, he told me to tell the donater to call him and he would give him a car!
Just now at 3:15 pm, a young man came to the Masjid and said he had seen the inspirational story of the brother who donated his savings to the Masjid, that he had saved up for a car!
He said that the story had inspired him and motivated him and he was saving up to get married and he just also donated £1,000...!
We ask Allah to accept it from him and replace it with the treasures of Jannat!
