on today's episode we will be talking about the sooni's and etiquettes of going to the Masjid the Masjid is so important to Muslims it is at the heart of our community it's where we all pray together it's where we all meet each other and it's where we all go for Juma together the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has taught us that the messages are the houses of allah so because they are the houses of allah there are certain rules and etiquette that we should follow every single time that we visit law's house now we will talk about the things that should be done or avoided in order to seek Allah's pleasure let's begin bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim the first Sunnah is to make sure that your clothes and that your body are clean before you walk into the Masjid so you should make sure that your clothes are clean that they don't smell bad that your body is showered and clean because when you are surrounded by other people and also by the Angels you want to make sure that they are not uncomfortable because of any smells in the presence of allah subhana wa ta'ala one should make sure that their appearance is even more clean and suitable than normal you should make sure that you do not press Allah in clothes that do not fulfill the conditions of the Islamic dress code the second Sunnah is to make sure that you avoid eating onion and garlic before going to the Masjid this is because these are things that make your mouth very smelly and when you go to the Masjid you do not want to have smelly breath so even though we're just talking about onions and garlic here really you shouldn't eat anything that makes your breath smell very bad before going to the Masjid the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has said that anyone who eats onions or leeks should not come near our Masjid he also mentioned not eating garlic as well even the Angels do not like the smell of onion garlic leeks coming out of the mouth so make sure that you avoid these foods when do you know if there are going to be angels around well whenever people sit together and they mention the name of Allah or talk about things that are pleasing to Allah the angels gather around them and descend upon them and spread their wings around them the Angels also envelope the people with their wings when these people are studying the Quran or praying together so in these kind of gatherings make sure that you do not have bad breath so make sure that before you set out for these kind of gatherings that you brush your teeth with toothbrush or miswak good hygiene and considering other people is very important and that is the message here the third Sunnah is to hasten to go to the Masjid early try to get to the Machine as fast as you can and as early as you can when someone loves being at the Masjid and listening to the Quran and praying salah in front of allah they want to go there as early as they can and they'll wait for the salat to come to them and when you go early to the masjid then you get the blessings and the rewards for doing this the person who does this also earns the doís of the angels the fourth Sunnah is walking to the Masjid if the mush it is close to your house and it's within walking distance then instead of taking car or bus maybe try to walk towards the Masjid because there are more rewards in doing that it is narrated that there is great reward for walking towards the Masjid and that the worshipers will have the greatest rewards and who gets the greatest words the person whose house is furthest from the Masjid and they still walk towards it these are some of the benefits of walking towards the my students the things that Allah does for you firstly allah subhana wa ta'ala erases their sins the person who walks towards the Masjid has their status elevated and they will be given great reward and perfected light on the day of resurrection other benefits is that walking to the Masjid is really good form of exercise it'll keep you fit there are many health benefits to walking inactivity and sitting around too much all day is actually very very bad for not just your body but for your mental health and your mind so walking even if it's towards the Masjid

benefits for you in the hereafter the fifth Sunnah is going to the Masjid with calmness and dignity let's say that you're walking towards the Masjid and the prayer has already started you're late then you should not hurry and hasten maintain your calmness walk with calmness and respect do not huff and puff to catch the prayer this is because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has told us if Salah has started do not approach it running but approach it walking with calmness when you do catch up to the prayer whatever you have missed completed so if you have missed any regards then what you will do is you will not say Salah when the Imam says Salam instead you will stand up and you will complete the Rockets that you missed Salah is peaceful act so it is very important to remain peaceful and graceful even if you are running little bit late the thick Sunnah is to enter the Masjid with your right foot the prophet salaallah alayhi wassalam used to start everything good with his right side this is his tradition the seventh Sunnah is to recite the doís when entering the Masjid what is this dois the dua is Allah who must Ali Abu Ibrahim attic will say one more time allahu must' heli ababa rahim attic what does this mean it means allah open doors of your mercy upon me will say the meaning one more time as well the doís means allah open doors of your mercy upon me the word used is in Rehema and this includes not just mercy but forgiveness and grace many things from Allah the eighth Sunnah is to pray that hiatal mustard as soon as you walk in what does the hiatal mustard mean it is the greetings of the Masjid so if you walk into the Masjid and you have some time before the prayer then all you should do is pray 2 rakats as way of greetings if you have time then you should not sit until you have offered this to Rockets as greeting for entering the Masjid these two rockets are the nawafil prayers why do we offer these two novels rockets because it has been recommended to us by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam secondly when you come to the masjid you come with special state of mind you are coming to lost house were standing in the presence of Allah and you want to remember him and appreciate him as much as possible the mustard is place that people go to remember Allah as much as possible whether that's by reciting and doing car for him or praying this 2 rakaat we should try to follow the prophetic tradition as much as possible out of love for the prophet salaallah alayhi wassalam because he has done so much for us so if the Obama for the Salah has not been recited yet and you have some time left instead of just sitting there try to pray this to look at muffled another etiquette of going to the Masjid is not to disturb other people if you have come to the Masjid with your friend and you want to talk to them about something very interesting then maybe step outside of the prayer area while you do it or keep very very quiet voices do not be so loud because you don't want to disturb any other people around you you want to be considerate let's say someone is trying to focus on the Quran or read very good Islamic book you do not want to disturb them do you but let's say that you are the one reciting Quran you also do not want to recite so loudly that you disturb everybody around you even though you are doing very good deed by reciting Quran you always want to make sure that you are considerate of the people around you also if you are walking to sit down in the Masjid make sure that you do not walk right in front of someone who is praying Salah it is not good to do instead try to walk behind them or you can just sit exactly where you find seat try not to squeeze between people or bother them because you are surrounded by people you should be very aware of your actions and whether they are harming somebody else the next important etiquette is to keep the Masjid as clean as possible make sure you are not creating mess in the Masjid if you are bringing food make sure that it is not spilling everywhere or leaving crumbs around and if possible try not to bring food into the Masjid at all or eat it somewhere else many mustards have other rooms other than the prayer hall so if it is possible go into one of those other rooms instead to eat and try to keep the prayer hall clean did you know that tidying up the Masjid
