Assalamo Alaikom WR WB my dear brother and sisters
Few minutes ago, we paid the price of Tokushima Masjid and got a final contract and the keys.
Al-HamdoLillaah, Al-HamdoLillaah and Al-HamdoLillaah
In less than four months the full price was collected and the legal steps were done.On behalf of myself and Tokushima Muslims, I express my gratitude to Allaah (SWT) and then to all Muslims who helped us from Tokushima, Japan, and different places of the world.Al-HamdoLillaah Who allowed us to share in this task; and used us to establish His House in this land.
If I want to thank people here, the list will never get to an end, but I will just ask Allaah to accept and reward everyone who offered us any kind of help, Duaa, advice, ideas, plans, guidance or money.
I must mention our thanks to MSAJ that offered us through its members throughout Japan more than 8 Million Yen. JAK and May Allaah accept from you all (We will send a list of the donors as indicated in the MSAJ bank book in a coming e-mail Enshaa Allaah).
Many thanks are due to Kobe Mosque people and its Imam who allowed us to collect money after Jum'aa prayers throughout our Campaign, JAK. Gratitude also goes to all Masjids and Mussalas in Japan, that offered us great help (will mention them later Enshaa Allaah).
Allaah sent us through one trader more than 2.6 Million Yen and other 4 millions from four other traders, one million each.
************ *********** ***********
I want to offer to all brothers and sisters the experience of success that we got during the past four months.
- Tokushima Muslims put their trust into Allaah and Allaah Alone.
- Everybody in Tokushima shared by praying Estikhara, Qada Hajah, Duaa...
- They started by sacrificing their money fot the Noble purpose before asking others to share.
- They have shown great sincerity and decotion for the sake of Allaah.
- Brothers were ready to leave their houses upon request and travel to attend Juma'a prayers or visit Auctions in different cities to collect monye form the Muslim attendees.
- Their wives kept patient and tolerated the absence of their husbands during the week days and even weekends.
- Their kids felt the seriousness and they donated their saved coins "Oh uncle , take these money to buy carpets for the Masjid", a 3 years old kid said. Another child said "Oh Uncle, take my money to build Masjid, but please make it beautiful".
- In Tokushima, Muslims have one very important feature (We Complete one another and never compete)
I will finish by those verses of Quraan of Surat Al-Anfal , that I really felt very well
"And obey Allaah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another lest you lose courage and your strength departs. And be patient. Surely Allaah is with those who are patients" Al-Anfal 46
"Allaah is All-Sufficient for you. He it is Who has supported you with His Help and with the believers. And He has united their hearts If you had spent all that is in the earth you could not have united their hearts, but Allah has united them. Certainly He is All-Mighty, All-Wise" Al-Anfal 62-63
