Honouring the Memory of Our Beloved Faysal Emtyaz

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraktuhu

Our dearly beloved Faysal Emtyaz left this dunya on the 18th of September 2024. He was 26 years-old.

We want to honour his memory by providing a poor and vulnerable community in Tanzania with a mosque, giving them the chance to express their faith, experience the education that the Qur'an and Hadith provide to benefit us in this life and the next, and to be a focal point of bringing a community together. It will be a permanent and lasting legacy in his honour.

Remembering with more than just words

Faysal was a son, a grandson, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, a cousin and a friend. He touched so many people's lives through his actions, his caring nature and clean heart. May Allah swt grant him Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen.

Remembering him fondly is not enough. Saddened as we are by his departure from this world, we know that he has returned to His Creator at his appointed time. 

We want to remember him not just with our words and memories but by helping our brothers and sisters in the Ummah. Providing a masjid in Faysal's memory is Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), which will be a reward for him in the next life and immeasurably benefit those who will use this House of Allah.

For those who give to this honourable cause, may the Almighty also bless and reward you for your sacrifices. Ameen.

By donating, not only will you be providing a place of worship and the centre of a community but laying foundations for your own spiritual rewards in this life and the next.


One of the first acts of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah Be Upon Him) after he migrated from Makkah to Madinah was to build a masjid. 

He said: “Whoever builds a masjid for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Hadith)

The Charity

We have chosen Islamic Help to deliver this project. It already constructs dozens of masjids every year in poor and impoverished rural areas of Tanzania where villages either have no place for worship or have to rely on structures made of mud and sticks, or are crumbling to the ground.

They are distinctive, permanent structures designed to last generations and with all the essential features including, toilets, ablution facilities and water sources. A medium-sized mosque can hold approx. 250 worshippers.

Islamic Help is a UK-registered charity with the Charity Commission of England & Wales. They will ensure that feedback is provided once the project is complete, feedback that we will share with those who have donated to show them where their amanah (trust) has been used. 

A Legacy for Generations

As well as this masjid, we also intend to complete another masjid project that was started by Faysal and his brother, Yasir, nearly 2 years in honour of their beloved maternal grandmother, Bebe.

As we hope you will honour Faysal with the legacy of a masjid, he wanted the same for her - demonstrating his strength of faith, love and humanity. 

If we can reach the target that Faysal had set for that project - also to be delivered by Islamic Help - then, Alhamdulillah, the blessings and rewards from the Almighty will be increased without measure.

Please note: Feedback will be provided by Islamic Help when the projects are complete and will be shared through various channels with those who have donated . 

Also, any funds that are donated in excess of the target that we have set will be used for other similar Sadaqah Jariyah projects where the benefits and spiritual rewards will be ongoing. And, again, we will provide updates and feedback to donors.

Please feel free to share as widely as possible and donate to help us reach our goals. May Allah accept from all of us. Ameen.
