A masjid is built once, but what happens within it can continue for generations.
Five daily prayers. Jumu’ah. A child learning to recite Qur’an. A community gathering in worship. Every day, the masjid opens its doors and the reward of helping build it can continue.
Through Penny Appeal’s Build a Masjid appeal, you can contribute towards building a masjid for a community that needs a dedicated place to pray, learn and come together.
Give any amount towards construction, fund a larger part of the build, or build an entire masjid for $25,000.
For many Muslim communities, the local masjid sits at the centre of daily life.
It is where people answer the adhan five times a day and stand shoulder to shoulder in salah. It is where children first learn Qur’an, where knowledge is shared and where the community gathers for Jumu’ah, Ramadan and Eid.
Yet some communities do not have a suitable masjid of their own. People may pray in small, temporary or inadequate spaces, while growing communities need a permanent place of worship.
By helping build a masjid, you can help give a community a place that belongs to them and can serve them for years to come.
Your support can contribute towards:
You do not have to fund an entire masjid to be part of building one.
Every contribution helps bring the project closer to completion.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”
Sahih Muslim
Building a masjid brings these ideas together in a powerful way.
Long after construction is complete, people can continue entering its doors to pray, recite Qur’an and learn their deen. A child who learns their first surah there may one day teach it to someone else.
Your contribution becomes part of a place where worship and knowledge can continue beyond your own lifetime.
That is the beauty of Sadaqah Jariyah.
The impact of a masjid is found in the moments that happen there every day.
A contribution towards a masjid can also be made on behalf of someone else, including a loved one who has passed away.
It is a beautiful way to honour someone through Sadaqah Jariyah, helping establish a place where acts of worship can continue long after the donation itself has been made.
Rather than giving something that eventually disappears, you are helping build something people can return to, prayer after prayer.
Penny Appeal supports masjid construction for communities where suitable places of worship are needed.
Our masjid projects have supported communities in countries including Indonesia, Pakistan and Myanmar, helping establish permanent spaces for prayer, Qur’an learning and community life.
From the foundations to the finished masjid, your donation helps turn an empty piece of land into a place filled with salah.
A masjid can stand for decades.
Think of how many prayers can be made in that time. How many verses of Qur’an can be recited. How many children can walk through its doors to learn.
You can help build that place.
A complete masjid can be funded for $25,000 through Penny Appeal. You can also contribute a smaller amount towards construction, with options including $500 and $2,500, or choose your own donation amount.
No. You can contribute any amount towards a masjid project. Your donation will be combined with other contributions to help fund construction where a complete masjid has not been individually funded.
Penny Appeal supports masjid projects in communities where suitable places of worship are needed. Our projects have included masjids in countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan and Myanmar. Project locations can vary according to current programs and community needs.
A masjid can be a form of Sadaqah Jariyah because it provides an ongoing benefit. As people continue to use the masjid for prayer, Qur’an and beneficial knowledge, the good made possible through the donation continues after the original act of charity.
Yes. You can make a Sadaqah Jariyah contribution towards a masjid on behalf of a deceased loved one.

Eligible donations of $2 or more to Penny Appeal Australia are tax-deductible. Your receipt will provide the relevant details for your donation.
