Alhamudillahi for this great achievement.
Could brother Tung'ande please explain the difference between a mosque and a masjid to enlighten me.
Assalam Alaikum,
It's a great task. Muslims lets build Masjids everywhere where Muslims are. do not let a group of Muslims suffer, not having a place to observe their prayers.
Brothers and sisters, using the word Masjid is is better and more meaningful that Mosque.Research has found that the word 'mosque' is a derivative of many languages, although other people reported that the term 'mosque' is derived from the Spanish word for ‘mosquito’, and was termed as such because during the Crusades, King Ferdinand said they were going to go and swat the Muslims ‘like mosquitoes’. From my research, I have found that there are four possible origins for the word ‘mosque’ in the English language… the meaning of this term was intended to mean "Mosque" which is an Arabic word for Muslims place of worship…this term 'masjid' has a meaning as to regarding the place of worship. But, as Sister Ida has asked; 'what is the difference?" Check out the on coming article…
Wassalaam
May Allah reward those who contributed in one way or the other towards the construction of this mosque.this is a welcome development. infrastructure is very important to the development of our religion.Allah bless them all for this gesture
