Earlier in his sermon during Jummat prayer, the Chief Missioner of NASFAT, Imam Morufu AbdulAzeez Onike, reminded the congregants on the enormous benefits, rewards in giving charity and spreading generosity as well as being steadfast in the cause of Allah especially contributing to noble cause such as building of a mosque.

Onike said that the importance of the mosque when completed is to stand as a hub for spiritual growth, education, and community development.

“The project is a testament to NASFAT’s dedication to promoting the well-being of its members and the wider community,” Onike said.

The new NASFAT Gudu branch mosque project, designed to accommodate a large congregation, will also feature facilities for Islamic education, youth development programmes, and social services.
