The Umayyad Masjid Renovation Fund - Aleppo

The Umayyad Masjid is a historic spiritual landmark. This fund supports essential renovations to preserve its heritage and keep it a place of worship and community for generations.

The blessed Umayyad Masjid in Aleppo is home to the remains of Prophet Zakariyya (peace be upon him) and a historic Minbar from the time of Salah ud-Din al-Ayyubi (may Allah have mercy on him) and is a cherished spiritual landmark. Over time, it has faced wear and now urgently requires renovations to its lighting and sound systems, along with essential preservation work.

Your support will help restore the lighting and sound system of this sacred site, ensuring it remains a place of worship, reflection, and community, while preserving a priceless piece of Islamic heritage—an opportunity for a beautiful sadaqah jariyah for generations to come.
