  1. This is amazing and the most beautiful Mosque I have seen with even a minaret made from the branches of trees. It is cost effective and shows the enthusiasm and religious mindset of the community. Allah will be most happy to see this and reward them immensely. It is also an eye opener to those Muslims who complain of no money to build a Mosque. Even if they have no money Muslims should come forward to build as many Mosques as possible in each area. It is also a warning to those who collect huge donations in the name of constructing a grand Mosque or Madrasa and swindle the funds, without fear of Allah and his wrath. Hearty congratulations to the great Muslims of the area. Jazakallah Khair.
