Mosque Renovation
"Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will create a house for them in Paradise"(Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
A Lighthouse for the Community
A mosque is so much more than a structure of brick and mortar; it is a safe place for the soul and a lighthouse for entire communities. It is a place for sincere worship, education, and gathering.
Maintaining and caring for a mosque is a demonstration of authentic faith. This virtue applies not just to new construction, but also to the restoration, maintenance, and repair of existing mosques.
Our Global Vision: Restoring Allah's Homes
Serving Humanity First was formed to restore the former glory of ancient, derelict, and abandoned mosques. Many old mosques deteriorate due to neglect, natural disasters, and a lack of resources, and restoring them can restore entire communities.
The Need for Renovation
Many mosques are unsafe for prayer due to severe structural damage, collapsed roofs, or damaged walls, leaving large congregations with no alternative.
The Reward: Sadaqa Jariyah
Restoring a mosque constitutes a legacy of Sadaqa Jariyah (continuous almsgiving). You benefit from every prayer, lesson, and act of remembrance that continues there.
Restoring Community Life
A restored mosque becomes a center for daily prayers, Qur'an education for youth, Ramadan gatherings, and a base for charity work to support the needy.
The Renovation Journey
After a mosque is chosen, we begin a well-organized renovation process to ensure it becomes a dignified, safe, and welcoming space for many years.
- Thorough Preparation: We meet with local engineers, builders, and community leaders. Budgets are developed with precision, and all material acquisition is documented.
- Quality Construction: We repair walls and foundations, reinforce roofs, install new flooring, and update restrooms, always prioritizing accessibility and hygiene.
- Completion & Celebration: The transformation is completed with new domes, fresh paint, and new carpets. The congregation acknowledges it with heartfelt prayers.
Our Rigorous Selection Process
We ensure funds are spent on projects that provide the most community benefit through an extensive process to identify and prioritize mosques in need.
- Information Gathering: Field volunteers and community leaders (like imams) report mosques in distress.
- Thorough Verification: All requests are verified with independent assessments, site visits, and pictures.
- Priority Scoring: Each mosque is scored based on structural damage, size of congregation, and urgency of repairs.
Our Commitment: Full Transparency
What distinguishes Serving Humanity is our commitment to accountability. Donors do not need to wonder how their donation was spent.
- Before: Donors receive detailed documentation, including videos and images of the mosque in ruins.
- During: We share video updates of the ongoing progress, such as a roof or wall being upgraded.
- After: You will see images of the completed mosque, restored to its glory and inspiring prayers.
