Alhamdu Lillah, the Holland Park Mosque is the longest established Mosque in Queensland and the Islamic Society of Holland Park Incorporated is one of the oldest Islamic institutions in Australia. It has an historical identifiable presence in Brisbane (the capital city of Queensland) and is also the centre of Dawah activity.

What the public do not realise is that since its formation in 1908, Holland Park Mosque has only ever relied on the community for any financial contribution for the maintenance of the Mosque – that is our only source of funding!

As you can appreciate, the running costs of the Mosque are very high when you take into consideration the various activities carried out by this Mosque. It is the known centre of Islamic activity in Queensland with regular programs, Islamic classes, lectures from our learned Imam, Maddressah and Quran Hifz classes conducted by Qari Mehboob Ul Haq, it is definitely the hub of Islamic activity.

Unfortunately, all this comes at a costly financial price when you take into consideration the salaries of both the Imam and the Qari (they have to earn a living and support their families), the cost of running the Maddressah, costs of preparing Islamic classes, the day to day administrative and running costs, Maintenance and repairs, ongoing renovations and building including periodical extensions to the Mosque and the many other Islamic organisations that rely on our financial and moral support to help motivate them in establishing their own Islamic presence.

We do not receive funding from any organisation, government or otherwise. Our only source of income is acquired from the generosity of the local community and from fundraising activities. However, due to the growing running costs and the emergence of other Mosques and Islamic Centres the income is getting very scarce.

Hadhrat Aishah (radiallahu anha) narrates:

“Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wassallam) commanded us to build Musjids in all neighbourhoods and he ordered us to maintain the Musaajid clean.”(Ahmad, Tirmazi, Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, Ibn Khuzaimah)

Hadhrat Uthmaan (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wassallam) said:

“Whoever erects a Musjid purely for the sake of gaining Allah’s pleasure, Allah will erect for him a mansion in Jannat.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

According to the great eminent and illustrious Islamic Scholar, Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (r.a.) in his book Hayaatul Muslimeen, the above quote also refers to people also involved with the repair and renovation of the existing Musaajid regardless of the size of the contribution.

Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Quran

“Spend in the Path of Allah” (Surah Baqarah)

“That (Jannat) has been prepared for those who fear Allah: such people who spend (in the Path of Allah) in prosperity and in adversity” (Surah Aal e Imran)

“Whatever you spend (in the Path of Allah), He will compensate it.” (Surah Sabaa)

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“Allah Ta’ala says: ‘O son of Adam! Spend (in good works), I too shall spend on you.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

The abovementioned are a few quotes that highlight the importance of giving to a great and noble cause such as ensuring that the Mosque is functioning with Islamic activity. You have the opportunity to earn abundant rewards for yourself by helping us and the Muslim community.

Prepare your abode in Jannat!
