• Mosques as Centers of Worship & Learning – Beyond serving as places of prayer, mosques act as hubs for community gatherings, religious instruction, and social support.
• Preserving Quranic Knowledge – Quranic education ensures that the teachings of Islam are passed down to future generations, reinforcing moral values and spiritual growth.
• Building a Strong Spiritual Foundation – Investing in religious infrastructure provides long-term benefits for communities by nurturing faith, discipline, and ethical leadership.

Challenges in Nigeria

Despite our efforts, several challenges hinder the progress of mosque construction and Quranic education:

• High Construction & Maintenance Costs – The financial burden of building and sustaining mosques is significant, particularly in economically disadvantaged areas.
• Shortage of Qualified Religious Teachers – Many communities lack trained educators to effectively teach Quranic and Islamic studies.
• Limited Resources in Remote Areas – Rural and underserved regions often struggle with inadequate infrastructure and access to educational materials.

Our Commitment

The Mosques & Quran Department remains dedicated to overcoming these challenges by mobilizing resources, collaborating with donors, and implementing sustainable solutions. Through our continued efforts, we aim to expand access to mosques and Quranic education, enriching the spiritual lives of countless individuals.
