Mirwaiz lays foundation stone of Masjid Bilal in Srinagar
Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, All Parties Hurriyat Conference senior leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, today laid the foundation stone of Masjid Bilal at Shah Hamdan Colony in Srinagar, in the presence of local residents, ulema, and community members.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, congratulating the people for this noble initiative, described the construction of a mosque as one of the greatest forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. He said laying its foundation during the blessed month of Ramadan carries special spiritual significance, as Ramadan is a month of mercy, forgiveness, and renewal.
“Just as Ramadan rebuilds our inner selves, the construction of a mosque strengthens the spiritual foundations of a community,” he said.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq expressed happiness that the mosque design includes a designated space for women, noting that it encourages their participation in congregational prayers and religious learning in line with Islamic teachings.
He emphasized that mosques were not merely structures of brick and mortar but centres of guidance and unity, and prayed for the successful completion of the mosque and acceptance of all those contributing to this noble cause.
