The Muslim Welfare Trust of Victoria is pleased to inform the community of the newly purchased mosque in Glenroy.

Many verses in the Holy Qur’an, and sayings of our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged one to donate his money for the sake of Allah and to spread his money in ways of goodness. For this is the pathway to very high ranks in Islam and in the next life. Learning from our best role model, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was known for his immense generosity and kindness, and open-handedness for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta^ala especially in the blessed month of Ramadan.

The Messenger of Allah sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam said: <Allah will grant seven types of believers the comfort of being under the shade of the ^Arsh on the Day of Judgement, a day where no other shade is available but the shade of the ^Arsh>>. Amongst those types are the ones who donate in sincerity and do so secretly. He donates seeking Allah's reward and acceptance only without informing anyone and does not do so to be praised by people.

the scholars of Islam said: "Allah the Exalted blesses the money of the one who donates the Sadaqah (permissible donation) from halal lawful sources for the sake of Allah, seeking His reward".

They also said: "The money from which donations are made, although may seem to be lessening, yet the promised reward that is prepared for the donator in the next life will substitute that loss".
