Call for Financial Aid: Revitalizing Masjid Abdulhamid, Imam's Quarters, and Madrassa

We humbly appeal to the Muslim community and compassionate individuals around the world to join us in a deeply meaningful cause: the revitalization of Masjid Abdulhamid, along with the Imam's Quarters and Madrassa located at Ganga in Rabai.

For years, this sacred space has been a pillar of faith, education, and community strength. Masjid Abdulhamid has witnessed countless prayers, shared joys, and deep reflections. Our madrasa has nurtured young minds, instilling values and knowledge that guide generations. And the Imam's quarters have provided a sanctuary for the spiritual leaders who have selflessly served this community, including our current Imam, Sheikh Juma Zduya Chiringa.

To lead this vital project, we are honored to have Abdulhamid Khamis Miraj as our dedicated project manager, who brings both expertise and passion to the restoration effort. Abdulhamid can be reached directly at 0721369475 for any questions or further support regarding the project's progress.

However, time has taken its toll on these structures, threatening the comfort, safety, and sanctity that so many depend on. Together, we have an incredible opportunity to breathe new life into these spaces, ensuring they continue to serve our community for generations to come.

Your donation is not just a gift—it is a legacy of faith, hope, and compassion. With your support, we can repair walls to protect and shelter, restore roofs to provide shade and safety, and enhance facilities to uplift every visitor, student, and worshipper.

Please consider contributing to this noble cause and help us preserve the legacy of Masjid Abdulhamid for those who seek solace, knowledge, and community here. Any amount you can give will make a lasting impact, touching countless lives and building a future of faith and unity. Together, let us transform Masjid Abdulhamid into a beacon of hope and a sanctuary for all.

May your kindness be multiplied, and may you find peace in knowing you have helped sustain a community in faith. Join us in this journey today.
