Muslim Ummah (community) of Zawiyat Sofwat – El-Rahmat-El-Islamiyyat (ZASRAM), Central Mosque, Ota, Ogun State Saturday, ushered in the new Islamic Calendar (1444 AH), with decking of their mosque under construction.
Chief Imam/National Missioner (Home and Abroad), of the mosque, Sheikh AbdurRazaq AbdulHameed Onaolapo Kasolayo, led the contractors, artisans and other relevant workers to the venue of the project as early as 6am after the early morning prayer (Salatus Subuh) fully prepared for the task ahead.
The work on the project was encouraged by the sermon on Friday preceding the New Year by Imam Kasolayo who spelt out the importance of partaking in the construction of a mosque enjoining the members to always strive to be part of erection of house for God.

Kasolayo, who copied extensively from the Noble scripture emphasized the endless rewards awaiting partakers in such a project, saying, “the blessings from the almighty Allah on them are very huge and uncountable.”
Sheik Kasolayo also made reference to a prophetic Hadith that states that, “Whoever builds a house for God in this world should be sure of a house in the garden of al-janat,” reminding that, “the Almighty Allah we worship never reneges in any promise made for mankind.”
