Peace be on you. Brisbane, Australia has a new mosque raised by Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. At the same place, they used to have a hall and a mission house for offering Salaat and for other spiritual gatherings. Holy Khalifah asked them to build a mosque there. The newly built mosque consists of new building and renovation of previous structure. The members contributed through financial sacrifices; their ladies offered their jewelry for making the mosque. The covered area accommodates 1000 believers. It took months before the local council gave permission.
By the Grace of God, mosques built by Ahmadiyya Community worldwide are the source of peace for the area of their existence and for the members because of the message associated with mosque, mentioned in the Holy Quran chapter 7, verses 30 and 32:
[7:30] Say, ‘My Lord has enjoined justice. And fix your attentions aright at every mosque (towards Allah) and call upon Him, making Deen pure for Him. As he brought you into being first time, similarly shall you return ( to Him after death).’
[7:32] O children of Adam! Take your adornment (dress of Taqwa) at every mosque, and eat and drink, but be not immoderate; surely, He does not love those who are immoderate.
= Above verse give fine message, which starts with justice. The true justice is justice with God and with God’s creation. Justice with God is to worship Him and follow His commandments and justice with people means justice with family and society.
= Believer has to do virtues with full attention to God.
= They should have pure intentions in their ways for the sake of God so that their prayers are answered.
= They need to go to mosque with apparent cleanliness and inner righteousness.
= They also have to use permitted-by-God food and drinks as it affect human.
Holy Khalifah reminded the local Ahmadiyya Muslims about glad tiding given by Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that who come to mosque to remember Allah, Allah will become their host. The community should progress in spiritual connection with Allah the Exalted; give precedence to faith over worldly objectives; pay the right of pledge of allegiance made with Promised Messiah Mahdi; teach their children for this blessing; get connected with mosque; take the message of true peaceful Islam to local population. He said that wherever Ahmadiyya Muslims has built mosques in the world, the introduction to real Islam increased manifold.
