Gain the reward of praying in Masjid-Al-Aqsa
The Prophet (saw) was asked, 'If one of us cannot visit it [Al-Aqsa], what should we do?' He (saw) said, 'Then he should make a gift of some oil to be lit therein [in its lamps]. For indeed the one who gifts this to it, will be like the one who has prayed therein'. (Ahmad)
Alhamdulillah, Muslim Hands is honoured to offer you the incredible opportunity to help us light up the entire Qibali Masjid Grand Prayer Hall at Al-Aqsa - in our biggest Sadaqah Jariyah project ever!
Masjid Al-Aqsa is the third holiest site in Islam. It was the first qiblah of the Muslims and the site of the Prophet's (saw) miraculous Ascension into the heavens during Al-Isra wal-Mi'raj.
For over a decade, Muslim Hands have been working closely with the Zakat Al-Quds Committee, the Jordanian authority that manages the affairs of Al-Aqsa, to help preserve this historic site (see map below). We have illuminated extensive areas of the Masjid and carried out various restoration works, alhamdulillah.
The current lighting system at the Qibali Masjid was installed in 1986, and the old wiring means there is a huge risk of fire. Working with The Hashemite Fund for the Restoration of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, our team have already rewired and installed a state-of-the-art LED lighting system in the women's area, illuminating a quarter of the Masjid!
The status of Al-Aqsa is so high that a single prayer in the Masjd is worth a thousand prayers! Moreover, for those of us who are unable to travel there, lighting the lamps of Al-Aqsa carries the same reward as praying in it!
Our teams have already started rewiring the second quarter of the Masjid (see map below). Donate today to gain the reward of praying in the Sacred Sanctuary!
