Saudi businessman honors loyal employee by building mosque in his name
MEDINA, Saudi Arabia (MNTV) – A heartwarming story of loyalty and generosity has gone viral on TikTok, as users share a video of a mosque named “Bassem bin Ahmed Metwally” located on the Medina Road in Saudi Arabia.
The video, created by a user standing in front of the mosque, recounts the inspiring story behind its construction.
The mosque was built as a gift from Saudi businessman Suleiman Ghaslan to his Egyptian employee, Bassem Metwally, who had worked diligently for Ghaslan’s real estate company for over 26 years.
The mosque bears an inscription that reads: “Bassem Bin Ahmed Metwally Mosque, the company’s oldest employee. May God forgive him, his parents, and his family. Established in 1444 AH, 2024 AD.”
In the video, the creator explains the story behind the mosque: “Our brother Bassem was and still is an accountant for the company of businessman Saud Ghaslan, having worked there for more than 26 years.”
“He is a man of virtue, good morals, and trustworthiness. In recognition of his dedication, honesty, and exemplary character in dealing with the company’s clients, our brother Ghaslan decided to reward him by building this mosque and naming it after him”, he said.
The creator praised the initiative, saying, “Our brother Metwally deserves all the best, and may God reward our brother Saud for this beautiful gesture.
The story has touched many, highlighting the deep bond between employer and employee and the value of recognizing loyalty and integrity.
While the video focuses on the mosque, it also raises questions about whether Suleiman Ghaslan has undertaken other charitable initiatives, further underscoring his commitment to giving back to the community.
This act of kindness not only honors Bassem Metwally’s years of service but also serves as a testament to the enduring values of gratitude and generosity in Saudi society.
Historically, Muslim civilization, contrary to ruthless American slavery, has been very kind to its slave population.
The specific gesture has been embedded in the very nature of the Muslims who are extremely kind to their servants, considering them their family members.
