God has said, ' That man will build the mosques of God who believes in Him 

 and the last day, and performs the daily prayers and gives the alms demanded 

 by the law, and fears no one except God. Such perhaps belong to those that 

 are guided [Qoran IX, 18.] 



And He whose glory is glorious and whose benefits are general, has also 

 said, ' The mosques belong to God. Worship no one else besides God.' [Qoran, 

 LXXII, 18.] 



The prophet (upon whom be peace) has said, ' He who builds for God a 

 mosque in this world, will have a house built for him by God in Paradise'.

 May God perpetuate his reign and rule, and elevate his state and dignity.

 tunes of the end of time by His benevolence and perfect grace.
