Yeah its cheaper...
The real practicing muslim here in UAE spending more money for helping poor in world , but building Masjids in the country is our duty too, every 3 km in a city we have a masjid and they are almost packed, so we need to build bigger masjids.. I dont think building masjids is a waste of money, since our priority is giving the poor... the waste of money in UAE is building these strange skyscapers, resorts and theme citys which there is no single masjid in them... because there are alot of tourist and non muslim ppl there so they dont wana get bother with athan voice :astag:
