Masjid Bukhoriyy – Solar Power Installation

Location: Okeodo, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria

Background

Masjids are at the heart of community life, providing a place for worship, Islamic learning and bringing people together. In Okeodo, Masjid Bukhoriyy serves as an important gathering place for local worshippers, but unreliable electricity was making it difficult to maintain a comfortable environment for daily prayers and community activities.

The Need

Limited power affected essential facilities, including lighting and ventilation. This was particularly challenging during evening prayers, Qur’an classes and gatherings throughout the blessed month of Ramadan. A dependable and sustainable electricity supply was needed to improve conditions for worshippers.

Our Contribution

With the support of generous donors, Ibrahim Trust supported the installation of a new solar power system at Masjid Bukhoriyy. The installation included:

• Solar panels
• Battery storage system
• Supporting electrical equipment

The system was designed to provide a more reliable source of electricity for the masjid’s essential facilities.

The Outcome

Alhamdulillah, Masjid Bukhoriyy now benefits from a sustainable source of electricity, providing improved lighting and ventilation for worshippers. The new system creates a brighter and more comfortable environment for daily prayers, Islamic learning and community gatherings, particularly during evening programmes and warmer weather.

This improvement will continue to support the masjid’s role as a centre of worship and community life, benefiting all those who use its facilities.

Project Completion

We sincerely thank everyone whose generosity helped make this project possible. May Allah reward our donors abundantly and make every prayer, lesson and act of worship supported by this facility a source of ongoing reward and Sadaqah Jariyah. Ameen.
