PLACE OF MOSQUE IN ISLAAM

Part of the significance of hijrah is the establishment of Masjid by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم where Muslims had the opportunity to attend the best University in the history of mankind. In the masjid of the Prophet in Madeenah, the Companions رضي الله عنهم learnt and preserve the deen that we now enjoy today.

It is however unfortunate that in the present day, people build masaajid, not for the sake of Allaah, but for fame and several acts not sanctioned in Qur'an and Sunnah. A masjid supposed to be a place of worship where only Allaah would be called. It should be a place where people would learn and memorize the Qur'an and hadith, and a place where beneficial books of scholars of Islaam would be read and explained on daily basis.

The leaders of Muslims in the community must redefine their aims and objectives and make sure they are in line with the provisions of Qur'an and Sunnah. Many of our Muslim leaders today have misplaced their priority of guiding people to the right path. They want to compete with the rich, politicians and traditional rulers in terms of houses, cars and other material things. We must retrace our steps before it becomes too late.

May Allah guide us aright.

What a scene that had been when Hazrat Muhammad SAW was teaching his companions in the Mosque of Madina. Hazrat Muhammed SAW was the best teacher in the history of the world as he performed practically what he said. What do you people want to say in this regard?
