FEED THE POOR
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)
This mosque was built by the Sahabi, Uqba-bin-Nafe (رضي الله عنه) from 670 CE at the founding of the city of Kairouan in Tunisia.
- Uqba-bin-Nafe (رضي الله عنه) was a military general who began the Islamic conquest of the Maghreb, including present-day western Algeria and Morocco in North Africa. He used Kairouan as a base to mount operations. The mosque became an important center for Islamic and Quranic learning, and attracted a large number of Muslims from various parts of the world. The mosque is spread over a surface area of 900 square meters and is considered as a model for all later mosques in the Maghreb in the western Islamic world.
- Uqba-bin-Nafe (رضي الله عنه) was killed and buried near Biskra in Algeria.
