Hindus & Sikhs Come Together To Build Mosque

Hindus and Sikhs of the village raised funds for the construction of the mosque. They donated money and also construction materials to build a place for prayer for five Muslim families living in the village.

All villagers joined the inauguration ceremony of the mosque earlier this week.

The Waqf Board had given a small piece of land for the construction of the mosque in the village but it was not feasible for the five families to raise the resources for it.

Punjabs Shahi Imam Mohammad Usman Rahmani, who visited the village appreciated the gesture of the non-Muslims of the village towards their Muslim brethren.

It may be recalled that in December, a Sikh family from Bakhtgarh village in Barnala district donated a piece of land for the construction of a mosque for 15 Muslim families in the village.

Another such incident was reported from the Machike village in the Moga district where an old mosque was demolished to pave way for a highway and it was rebuilt with donations from Hindus and Sikhs.
