Build A House Of Allah, Leave A Lasting Legacy.
Building a mosque is one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah, bringing endless rewards in this life and the next. Every prayer offered, every Qur’an recited, and every soul that finds peace within its walls will secure blessings for you and ultimately build your house in Jannah - Insha’Allah.
But, don’t take our word for it. Read the words of our beloved Prophet: (ﷺ)
"Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." (Bukhari & Muslim)
Just as the Prophet helped to build the first Masjid in Medina, you too can provide for our Ummah.
The Impact of your Mosque
Your Mosque will provide a dedicated space for daily prayers and reflection.
Community bonds will strengthen as entire villages can make use of the space.
Children and adults can utilise the space to learn and pass on the teachings of the holy Qur’an.
Members of the community can benefit from guidance and support, finding solace within the walls of the Mosque.
Beacons of Faith at Home
Penny Appeal is honoured to support Masjid Zakariya — a cherished beacon of faith, learning, and community life in the heart of the Wakefield Muslim community. For years, this remarkable masjid has provided vital services for families, youth, elders, and worshippers across the city, offering everything from daily prayers and Qur’an classes to social support and community outreach. As we launch our UK ‘Build a Mosque’ initiative, we are proud to stand alongside Masjid Zakariya, helping strengthen the incredible work they already do for thousands of people right on our doorstep. Watch our visit to the mosque below and see first-hand the inspirational role it plays in the lives of the Wakefield Muslim community.
The Ultimate Sadaqah Jariyah
A mosque is the heart of any Muslim community. It is a sacred space to pray, connect, and grow in faith. Yet, many in the developing world have nowhere to worship.
With a simple yet incredible act of Sadaqah Jariyah, you can change that. Here at Penny Appeal, we’re on a mission to make sure that every Muslim has a safe space to practice their faith. That’s why we’ve built 120 mosques across 12 countries.
You can give the most blessed gift of all, the house of Allah (SWT).

This is the impact of your generosity. Together, we have provided food, water and vital support to those who need it most. Every donation, whether Sadaqah or Zakat, helps alleviate suffering and restore hope to communities facing unimaginable hardship.
We always aim to use your donation as intended. When you give to ‘where most needed’, your donation supports the world’s most vulnerable communities, based on expert guidance and our local partner insights. However you give, you can rest assured your donation is in the best hands!
How are the locations for the mosques chosen?
Exact locations are determined by community groups and local elders as they know where mosques are in greatest demand. A lot of planning goes in to building a mosque and we have to be mindful of land and resource availability too.
How long does it take to build a mosque?
It really depends on the size of the mosque and where it’s being built. We take time to plan each project carefully so the mosque is built to last for many years. Quality is more important to us than speed, so we’d rather get everything right than rush it.
Can I make a regular payment?
Yes! Even small, regular donations make a huge difference – that’s the Penny Appeal way. You can set up an affordable monthly Direct Debit, starting from just pennies a day. Monthly donations are also really helpful for us because they cut admin costs and give us a steady income, which means we can plan and support more projects.
I can no longer afford the monthly payment. What can I do?
No problem – just get in touch with us. Instead of cancelling, we may be able to lower the amount so you can still contribute in a way that’s comfortable for you. Letting us know also helps us keep our records up to date.
Is my payment secure?
Yes, completely. We use secure systems with banking-level safety measures, so your payment and personal details are always protected.
We always do everything we can to use your donation exactly as you intended. If that isn’t possible, we’ll make sure it still supports a similar life-changing project in the same country or nearby region. When you choose to give to ‘Where Most Needed’, you’re helping us reach the world’s most vulnerable people, guided by expert advice and the knowledge of our trusted local partners. However you choose to give, please know that your generosity is changing lives and your donation is always in safe and caring hands.
