Help Establish a Masjid Waqf to Establish Islam in Scandinavia
What is a Waqf and why do we need it?
Why should I donate to this cause?
This Masjid Waqf will, in sha Allah, be used for building and maintaining Mosques and Dawah centers, Islamic schools and institutions, giving Dawah and establishing Islam in Scandinavia.
Through your help we’ll be able to purchase properties that will be rented out. The proceeds from these properties will both finance the Islamic cause, and the Waqf’s growth.
With time the Waqf will become multiplied manyfold in its size, in sha Allah. A few hundred dollars donated to the Waqf today, may become huge assets for the Ummah, worth tens of thousands of dollars some years from now.
The Waqf system has through our history been one of the greatest assets of the Ummah. Through Waqfs the Muslims have been financing Mosques, Islamic schools, universities, hospitals, and all kinds of good causes. In order to create a long-term growth of Islam in any society, the Waqf system must be implemented.
As a community we need to start planning for the future of Islam in Europe, and that’s exactly what this Waqf does. With this Waqf we’ll be laying the foundations for the Islamic work and institutions to flourish for our next generations.
To donate towards the establishment of a Waqf is far more beneficial for the Ummah than donating to a one-off good cause. That’s because once a Waqf has been established it becomes an asset for the Ummah which keeps on helping those same causes you would want to donate towards, but on a continual basis – which is far more beneficial. That’s also why the Prophet ﷺ considered it to be the best type of charity.
Every single one of us should take part in establishing this Waqf. This is, in fact, of the best causes you can donate towards. This Waqf will, in sha Allah, produce immense on-going benefit for the Ummah for hundreds of years to come.
What rewards can I expect?
I’m establishing this Waqf in my mother’s name, which means that I am donating my Ajr to my mom. I want this Waqf to be an ongoing charity for her.
This Waqf will, in sha Allah, be building and maintaining Mosques and Islamic centers. The reward promised by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for this cause is that Allah will make you His neighbor on the Day of resurrection and build a house for you in Paradise – Allahu Akbar!
If you help me establish this Waqf for my mom I will be forever grateful to you! And I believe that you will be getting more rewards than my mother from the donation that you make. Because Allah, The Most Generous, said:
هَلْ جَزَآءُ ٱلْإِحْسَـٰنِ إِلَّا ٱلْإِحْسَـٰنُ
“Is there any reward for goodness except goodness?”
[Quran 55:60]
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever relieves a Muslim of some worldly grief, Allah will relieve him of some of the griefs of the Day of Resurrection. (…) Allah will help His slave so long as His slave helps his brother.” [Sahih Muslim 2699a]
If you do this huge great deed for me, my mom, and the Muslim Ummah, then be confident that Allah will reward you with far more than you are donating.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The people most beloved to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others; and the most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or remove one of his troubles (…)
Walking to fulfill a need of my Muslim brother is more beloved to me than sitting in i’tikaf in a Masjid for two months. (…) Whoever walks with his brother to fulfill his need and fulfills it for him, then Allah Ta’ala will make his feet firm [on the bridge] on the day when the feet are shaken. …”
[Narrated by Ibn Abi Dunya in Qada-ul Hawaij, hadith: 36]

Inna lillahi wa inna ileyhi raji'oon.
My mother passed away on Wednesday, 26th October 2022.
This is my first Ramadan without my beloved mom.
She became 67 years old.
May Allah to have mercy on her soul, forgive her sins and elevate her status in Jannah, Ameen.
My family and I buried her on October 27th.
The last days up until, and after, her soul departed were very hard...
My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer.
The doctors operated her and removed it, but her lungs did not function as they should have after the operation.
She got a serious lung condition known as ARDS which caused fluid to build up in her lungs.
The doctors put her on a respirator hoping to save her life.
Ya Allah, how could I know that Allah had decided so differently?
I used to hold her warm hands every day at the hospital...
But now, her hand was cold.
Her face was cold.
She had gone back to her Rabb.
Her last night was very tough on me.
The doctor had said she'll most likely die in the next 24 hours because her blood is getting sour.
Her lungs are not able to pump out CO2.
If she survives the next 24 hours, she will not be able to live, they said.
Her lungs are too damaged.
Getting that news was very difficult to digest...
I still kept on begging Allah to cure her, but my du'a shifted a little bit, and I started saying to Allah that if He had decided that her time had come, then have mercy on her soul, make it easy for her and forgive her...
I stayed at the hospital until 3 AM that night, reciting Surah Yasin at her.
So that if her time had come, the soul could find comfort in the Words of Allah...
but still hoping for a miracle to happen.
I went home.
Slept a couple of hours.
Came back.
Her face had turned yellow.
Her soul was about to depart.
I said to her, repeatedly, hoping to reach her:
لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله
Making du'a that Allah fills her field of vision with white angels, the angels of mercy.
Her heart stopped.
Inna lillahi wa inna ileyhi raji'oon.
My beloved mummy, whom I loved so much and would give my life to save, left me and returned to her Lord.
Death is Haq!
Paradise is Haq!
And Jahannam is Haq!
I put all my trust in Allah when I asked Him to cure her.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
My mother was a pious woman.
The best time of the year to give Sadaqah.
