Brethren, please us to reflect on how deeply obsessed we have become with our phones—even to the point of bringing them into the mosque. This obsession has reached a level where it distracts us during acts of worship, diminishing the sanctity of our relationship with Allah.

Imagine this: In front of a parent, teacher, or elder, we dare not press our phones, knowing it is a sign of disrespect. Similarly, no one would check their emails or scroll through social media while standing before a judge in court. Yet, we find it acceptable to do this in the house of Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Where is the fear and reverence due to Allah?

It is now common to see people, right after the Tasleem (concluding the prayer), immediately take out their phones to check WhatsApp messages or emails instead of engaging in Adhkar (remembrance of Allah). Worse still, during the Friday Khutbah, a sacred moment when we are commanded to be silent and attentive, many are distracted by their devices.

This behavior contradicts the essence of Ihsaan, as described by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: "Ihsaan is to worship Allah as though you see Him, for even though you do not see Him, He sees you."

(Reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

The question is: if we truly reflect on the fact that Allah sees us, would we still dare to disrespect Him in His house by prioritizing our phones over our devotion?

HOW CAN WE CURB THIS HABIT?

1. Leave Your Phone at Home or in the Car: If your phone is not absolutely necessary, avoid taking it into the mosque. This will eliminate the temptation to check it.

2. Switch Off Data or Put the Phone in Airplane Mode: If you need your phone for emergencies or for Quran apps, turn off notifications to avoid distractions.

3. Fear Allah’s Watchfulness: Remember that Allah sees us and knows what is in our hearts. Reflect on the reverence and focus required during worship.

4. Reflect on the Rewards We Are Missing: By neglecting Adhkar and not listening attentively to the Khutbah, we are missing out on immense rewards and blessings.

5. Remind Ourselves of the Disrespect: Think about how inappropriate it is to prioritize a device over Allah, the Creator of all things.

Let us strive to regain the focus and humility required in the house of Allah. The mosque is a place for worship, reflection, and submission—not a space for worldly distractions. May Allah guide us to worship Him with sincerity and devotion

Thank God.

Good sermon, no christian hatred, if other Muslims preach like this, the religion will not be vilified everywhere!

It's even wrong going to the mosque with your android phone, especially for Jumat prayer.

How many hours are we even spending in the mosque to be distracted by our phones. JEEZ!

Juma'at Mubarak to you all.

Salam alaikum I greet you all

I am victim of this attitude and as from today I will not do it again may Alamigth Allah accept my request.
Amin
Thank you OP.
Jumat Mubarak
Ramadan Mubarak.

Allah is deity. It is been worship in Saudi arabia the same way ogun and songo is been worship in Nigeria (Yoruba land). The Quran contains story that does not concern us as a Nigerian. Have you ask yourself why you can't pray to Allah in your native language? It is because Allah does not understand any language apart from Arabic. They said Allah is every where, but I have to face one particular place to pray to him, I have to speak in it's language.

When you go to mecca, you have round one particular place 7 times, you have to stone, you have to kill ram. Why do I need to follow all those procedure if Allah is truly every where.

Is that your real name bro?

“That’s the name my parents gave me, and I cherish it to this day. I won’t argue or debate with you because your mind is already made up.”
Christian now?

You don't deserve a response, but I'll just educate you briefly. Are you aware Arabs worship Idols before islam came through prophet Muhammed? He brought islam and was fought in several battles just because he said they should stop worshipping idols. If Islam is idolatry, why were they fighting him?

When you go to mecca, you have to walk round one particular place 7 times which is called tawaf in Arabic, you have to stone one particular place, you have to kill ram in mecca that you will not even eat. Why do I need to follow all those procedure if Allah is truly every where.

the Christianity Catholic and Anglican religion which is traced to the Roman and the British empire, was what was used as a tool of colonization in Africa. Christianity gave birth to so many department like celestial, mountain of fire, redeem etc. This people that brought this religion made us feel like there is one hell fire some where if you don't answer to their teachings. The story in the Bible have nothing to do with me as a Nigerian.

Israel and America that people see as who love God don't pray when they perceives anything as threat. They do bomb, shut guns and create wars. Most of us are very daft in Africa for us not to see this.

Something is happening in Yoruba land, this religion is about to experience a kind of tsunami that will ruin it's foundations. Some Yoruba men and women , most of them ex muslims and traditionalists have taken it upon themselves to expose many of the lies and deceptions of the religion. How will Islam survive this?
Check out some of their videos.

Many muslims don't know what the religion is all about, they only believe what their imams tell them. This is now causing big problem for all of them as internet has allowed people to access their materials and the lies are now been exposed to all to see. Yoruba muslims are now waking up and asking their imams to answer questions being posed by people outside and the imams have no answers.

Is there a quranic verse against the use of phones in Mosques?
If not this is simply bidaah and the Op should be ignored

Thank you bro, that is why we are here as Christians to reveal all what their imams and alfas are hidden away for them from quran, hadith, etc
