The donation was warmly received by the mosque’s leaders, who expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the Mutharika family’s kindness.
Sheikh Pritorious Khalid, the chairperson of the mosque’s committee, said that the donation would go a long way in addressing some of the challenges they face.
“As Muslims, we believe that giving to good causes and supporting our fellow human beings is a way of connecting with Allah,” Sheikh Khalid said. “We are grateful to the Mutharika family for their kindness and generosity. This donation will help us to improve our facilities and serve our community better,” he added.
