The Virtue of Building Masājid | Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān The Questioner: May Allāh grant you good, this questioner Mutʿib from Riyāḍ asks about the virtue of building Masājid? Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān: “Its virtue is great. The Prophet () said: ‘Whoever builds a Masjid for Allāh, Allāh will build for him… even if it were like the nest of a sand grouse or even smaller, Allāh will build for him a house in the Paradise.’ And Allāh the Magnificent and Majestic says: ‘Certainly those who should maintain Allāh's Masājid are those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day, who establish the prayer and pay the zakāh.’ [Sūrah al-Tawbah 9:18] And this includes the literal establishment of the Masājid by building them appropriately and it also includes the figurative meaning of establishing them which involves worship [therein].” Translated By: Abul-Layth Qasim Mutiva
