The blessed month of Ramadan is before you.  The reward for every act of worship, every good deed, and every donation will be multiplied with your Lord and saved for you until the Day of Judgment.  What better investment can you make than these deposits into your eternal account?  Allah has the power to multiply each deed by numbers our minds cannot even comprehend.  Where else can you get a return like that?  This life is fleeting and temporary, it passes like the blink of an eye.  How many loved ones have you said goodbye to since the last Ramadan?  How many more will you say goodbye to before the next Ramadan comes? That is, if you are not among the ones your family and friends will be saying goodbye to.   Each one of us might be lucky enough to live in the memories of those who knew us, but after that generation passes, who will remember?  Everything we work for to enjoy in this life will pass.   
All the money we earn is spent on paying bills and maintaining a certain standard of living, and it goes as quickly as  sand pouring through the fingers.  We struggle so hard just to save money, but can anyone of us take those bank accounts to the grave?  All we keep is what we have invested with Allah for the Hereafter. 
 
Aisha narrated that someone slaughtered a goat and gave it to the house of the Prophet. (PBUH)  She distributed all the meat before the day had passed, but she kept one shoulder because she knew the Prophet (PBUH) was fond of that part.  When the Prophet returned home in the evening, she told him about the goat.  He asked her what she had given from it.  Aisha answered that she had given everything but the shoulder.  The Prophet replied, "No Aisha, you have kept everything but the shoulder."  (AlTirmidhi)
 
There are several means of ensuring our deeds will go on long after we have been forgotten in this life.  One of those means is right in front of your eyes, it's your beloved mosque.  This is your mosque, and it's a waqf in your hands to ensure it will continue to be a place of sanctuary for your children and your grandchildren and great-grandchildren to come.  Allah will build a mansion in Paradise for the one who builds a mosque in this life. 
 
By donating for the construction of this mosque, you will secure your share of the rewards for every person who prays in this mosque as long as this mosque continues!  You will secure your share of the rewards for every person who takes his shahadah in this mosque, and for every service this mosque provides to the community! 
 
Just this past month, the Mosque Foundation has collected a little over a quarter of a million dollars for our construction project. Most of that came from the generous hearts of our surrounding community members, but almost one hundred thousand dollars of that money came from outside the state. 
 
It came from our dear brothers and sisters who have never stepped foot inside this mosque, never prayed one prayer in this mosque, or benefited from any of the programs or services this mosque provides.  These envelopes come pouring in the mail on a daily basis from all over the United States from believers whose only desire is to make a deposit into their eternal accounts with Allah, trusting in His promise to multiply their deeds by investing in this mosque.  A true believer knows that the investment in the next life is the only investment that remains. 
 
Ramadan is before you now.  Come take your share.  Make a deposit into your eternal account.  Donate generously.
