The Holy Quran:"And I have not created the Jinn and the men but that they may worship Me". (51:57) . "Surely, the first house founded for mankind is that at Becca (Mecca), abounding in blessings and guidance for peoples". (3:97). "He alone can maintain the Mosques of Allah who believes in Allah, and the last day, and observes prayer and pays the Zakat and fears none but Allah; so these it is who may be rightly guided." (9:18) The Holy Prophet on the importance of mosques O ye people, praise Allah. Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah, The Exalted, shall build a house for such a one in paradise. The Promised Messiah said:"If you want Islam to progress build a mosque. Wherever our Jamaat is established, a mosque should be built. Our Jama'ats progress is founded on the construction of mosques. If there are only a few Muslims in a village or a city, build a mosque with good intentions and God will bring more Muslims to that place. It is not mandatory that the mosque be embellished or be a brick building. Wall off a piece of land and build a room with a thatched roof..." (Malfoozat Vol 2, p. 42) 

Nasir Mosque - Gillingham Kent UK

The Medway Mosque located in Gillingham has been completed and inaugurated officially by his holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (adba), the fifth Khalifa of the Promised Messiah (AS) on Saturday 1st of March 2014. The Gillingham Chapter of the UK Ahmadiyya Jamaat is also celebrating its 50th year anniversary this year (1964-2014). This mosque was entirely funded by the Gillingham Jamaat members. 

The building, originally known as Nasir Hall, was home to the Lower Gillingham Liberal and Radical Club until the early 1970s. It has been used by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association since 1975, but until now had not resembled a mosque from the outside. It now has a minaret and a golden dome on the roof. The building work has been paid for with donations from the Muslim community.
