From Locked Gates to Open Hearts: A Mosque's Inspiring Transformation

Masjid Al-Busyra's Transformation: From Neglect to Community Hub In Merbok, Kedah, Masjid Al-Busyra has undergone a remarkable transformation. Once a quiet, almost forgotten place of worship, it's now a vibrant center of community life. Ustaz Firdaus Firabib, in an interview with ZAYAN, describes the changes. "In the beginning, the mosque was empty," Ustaz Firdaus recalls. "The gates were locked after prayers." This stark image contrasts sharply with the current scene: a busy mosque filled with worshippers. The removal of the fences symbolizes the mosque's opening to the community. The story highlights the power of community engagement and the revitalization of a significant local landmark. The positive change is inspiring and offers a hopeful message.
