Dawat-e-Islami has announced a global initiative to construct 1500 mosques under the name Faizan-e-Milad Masjids. The campaign is linked to the commemoration of 1500 Jashne Wiladat of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), observed this year as communities worldwide mark 1500 years of Prophet Muhammad.
The project was launched through Dawat-e-Islami’s department Khuddam ul Masajid Wal Madaris ul Madina and aims to build new mosques in Pakistan and other countries where the organization is active. The initiative focuses on areas where Muslims lack adequate worship and education facilities.
The ongoing drive by the foundation laid a stone of a Faizan-e-Milad Masjid at Moro city, Sindh, on August 25, 2025. Several foundation ceremonies were held earlier this year in different districts of Sindh and in other provinces. In other nations such as UK, US, Korea, Spain and Greece, Dawat-e-Islami has also grown its mosques and centres, with the 1500 mosques initiative targeting mainly Pakistan and South Asia.
Purpose of 1500 Jashne Wiladat Project
The official announcements have stated that the construction of the Faizan-e-Milad Masjids is continuing but in phases seasoned with inauguration in the year 2025-2026. The mosques will be constructed with libraries, madrasas and community areas with education and worship intertwined.
The Dawat-e-Islami project aims to build 1500 mosques and is funded by contributions and donations; such donation is collected throughout the world in the form of Zakat, Sadaqah, and online payments via buildamasjid.net. Donors can finance whole mosques or individual amenities, such as the ablution area. Dawat-e-Islami shares periodic updates about the progress of mosque construction through its official media/publications.
