The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ said: “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”
Hadith (Bukhari)
WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS
Alhamdulillah, we have been blessed with a beautiful Mosque building. But a Mosque is so much more than just bricks and mortar – or in our case timber from sustainably sourced spruce!
What we do within these walls – whether that be contemplating and connecting with the Divine, offering classes with the community, conducting important life cycle events, or working together to help those around us most in need – these are the endeavours that really make a Mosque. And that is where you come in…
To fulfil these and other essential roles, Reading Islamic Centre depends on YOUR generosity to cover a variety of costs – from people and facilities to activities taking place now and in the future. We hope to, Insha’Allah, fulfil the vision of the Mosque, including:
- Pioneering Green Technology Theology

- Hosting Seminars with Renowned World Thinkers
- Showcasing Islamic Art, Architecture & Garden Design
