Masjid E Ashraf is under construction
A Masjid is the Heart of a Madrasah
Shalukpara Madrasah Ashraful Uloom has long stood as a center of sacred knowledge, discipline, and character-building. Hundreds of students dedicate their lives here to memorizing the Qur’an, studying Hadith, and preparing themselves to serve the Ummah. Yet, despite its growth and educational excellence, there is still no permanent mosque within the campus. A Madrasah without a Masjid is like a body without a heart. Prayer is not separate from education—it is the soul of education.
The Present Difficulty
At present, students are compelled to offer their daily Salah in multiple scattered places due to the absence of a proper mosque. Sometimes classrooms are rearranged, sometimes temporary spaces are used. This causes inconvenience, lack of focus, and disruption in both prayer and academic routine. Tahajjud prayers, collective supplications, spiritual gatherings, and peaceful Qur’an revision during quiet hours become extremely difficult without a dedicated sacred space. For students who have left their homes solely for the sake of Deen, this is a painful hardship.
“Indeed, the mosques of Allah are maintained only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day. (Qur’an 9:18)”
Masjid e Ashraf – A Dream Under Construction
To resolve this long-standing need, Masjid e Ashraf is now under construction within the campus of Shalukpara Madrasah Ashraful Uloom. This masjid will not only serve as a place of prayer but also as: 1. A spiritual training ground for future scholars 2. A center for Tahajjud and Qur’an recitation 3. A place for unity, discipline, and moral refinement 4. The spiritual core that ensures smooth operation of the entire Madrasah The estimated budget for this noble project is 5 Crore Rupees. For a Madrasah that runs solely on the mercy of Allah and the generous support of donors, this is a very large amount.
An Investment for the Hereafter
Every brick laid in this Masjid will witness the Salah of hundreds of students daily. Every Sajdah, every tear in Tahajjud, every recited verse of Qur’an will become continuous reward (Sadaqah Jariyah) for those who contribute.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise. (Bukhari & Muslim)”
Imagine the reward of a mosque where hundreds of students pray five times daily, where future Imams and scholars are spiritually nurtured.
A Humble Appeal
We humbly appeal to all well-wishers, donors, and lovers of Deen: Come forward and be part of this blessed mission. Your contribution—big or small—will help: 1. Provide a proper place for students to pray comfortably 2. Strengthen their spiritual development 3. Ensure smooth functioning of all Madrasah operations 4. Establish a lasting legacy for generations to come Let us not delay in supporting a cause that connects directly to the House of Allah. May Allah grant us sincerity, accept this effort, and make Masjid e Ashraf a beacon of light for the Ummah. Ameen.
