The name is yours to propose: an Islamic name chosen by your family, approved by the BINAI committee.
How it works
Three steps to leave a permanent mark
Give the highest gift to the building fund
The naming right is offered to the single largest cumulative donor to the BINAI building fund campaign. There is no fixed price. The gift is whatever it takes to be the lead donor.
Propose an Islamic name
You nominate an Islamic name for the mosque, for example Masjid Al-Noor (Mosque of Light), Masjid At-Taqwa (Mosque of Piety), or a name meaningful to your family. Subject to BINAI committee approval.
Your name is on the building, permanently
The chosen Islamic name is installed on the permanent façade signboard at 72 Victoria Street. A founding donor plaque at the entrance records your family's role in establishing Gippsland's first mosque.
What's included
The weight of a founding gift
Founding donor plaque
A permanent plaque at the mosque entrance acknowledging your family as the founding donor. Part of the building's fabric from day one.
Founding records
Your family named in all BINAI founding documents, the annual report, and the mosque's written history, preserved for the community and for generations to come.
Sadaqah jariyah
Every salah prayed in this mosque, every Quran recited, every child taught: the reward of each continues for you after you're gone. That is what a mosque is.
Islamic basis
Sadaqah jariyah: a charity that never ends
من بنى مسجدًا لله، بنى الله له بيتًا في الجنة
“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah builds for him a house in Paradise.” Bukhari & Muslim
Is naming a mosque permissible?
Yes. Egypt's Dar Al-Ifta, IslamQA, and the British Fatwa Council all hold that naming a mosque after its founding donor or family is permissible. It is a centuries-old Islamic tradition. The waqif (endower) lending their name to a mosque is as old as the concept of waqf itself.
One condition: the intention
The scholars are unanimous on one point: the intention must be pure, for Allah and not for recognition. If you name this mosque, you are not naming it for yourself. You are naming it for the tens of thousands of Muslims who will pray in it after you are gone.
The process
Transparent and community-accountable
- The naming right is offered to the single highest cumulative donor to the BINAI building fund.
- The donor proposes an Islamic name. The BINAI committee reviews it for Islamic appropriateness and community fit.
- The committee retains the right to decline a name that does not meet Islamic naming conventions. In practice, any sincere Islamic name will be accepted.
- All donations toward the naming gift count toward the overall $800,000 campaign total.
- The conversation is private. No donor amounts are published without your consent.
