Etiquettes of the Masjid Shaykh Wasim Kempson

sh for indeed all praise and thanks is due to Allah subhanahu wa tala the lord of the worlds bear witness that Allah alone is to be worshiped subhanahu waala and that Muhammad is his final messenger my dear brothers and sisters when the prophet sallallah alai wasallam made the Hijra from Makkah to Al Medina before he sallallahu alaihi wasallam entered into al- Medina Masjid was built Masid Alba or Masid Kuba the first Masjid in an Islam which has his own virtue in which performing two ra inside that Masid is equal to the Performing of an similarly the prophet upon arriving in Medina built which has his own which is that if someone prays in there that one Salah is equal to alah to an 1,000 prayers and praying in that Masid is equal to 100,000 salawat now within the space of about let's say 15 16 years that we have in Makkah which was purified from sh in the eth year of Hijra when when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam returned to Makkah in and there was the building of and then there was going to and reclaiming it for the Muslims that these three great sites sacred places in which are places of places of Messengers and Prophets that the worship or thead of Allah subhana wa tala was one once again established upon Earth and it is the responsibility of every Muslim to ensure that the worship of Allah subhana wa taala is established in their homes in their businesses in their lives and most importantly in the mass in the houses of Allah subhah wa ta'ala and when something is connected to the name of Allah subhah wa tala so when we say this is connection with Allah subhana waala which is called this is raising the status of that what is connected to Allah subhanahu wa taala so as the prophet told us the most beloved places to Allah subhana wa tala are the houses is of Allah subhah wa taala the house of Allah subhana wa tala the mass that they belong to Allah these are the places that are the names of Allah are glorified and they are praised that the the five daily prayers are established in these places and for this reason it is the responsibility of every single Muslim Muslim to preserve to protect and do what is necessary to ensure that the houses of Allah subhana tala remain in the sacred state that Allah subhana wa ta'ala has or the level that they have been risen to it is the responsibility of every Muslim we all have different responsibilities concerning that because they are from Islam the houses of Allah subhana tala from the signs of al- Islam the present of Muslims when there is the when there is the presence of Masid there is the presence of thean that Allah subhana wa taala is being mentioned frequently in that area five times day Allah subhana wa tala Praises these places in the Quran the houses of Allah subhana wa ta'ala not only those who believe in Allah subhana wa taala should be the ones who uphold and keep them who is establish their prayer who pay their Saka and only only those who fear Allah subhana wa tala it is hoped that they will be the truly guided ones that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us that from those individuals who be shaded by Allah from those is that individual whose heart is attached to the Masid so not only that did Allah subhana wa tala render these places the best of places it is part of our IM part of our faith to be attached and to love these particular places that the reward in performing Sal is increased by and another or 25 and another narration or 7 27° than person who's play praying alone so the house of Allah subhana have special place coming here listening to the verses of Allah subhana wa taala that you receive as the prophet told us four benefits four blessings or four virtues people who come to listen to the words of Allah subhana wa tal and study it between them except that Tranquility comes down upon them from Allah subhana wa tala that the mercy of Allah subhana descends upon them that the angels will cover them with their wings that Allah subhana will mention those individuals who are those who are able to hear the names that are been mentioned from the Mala so these are very best special places my dear brothers and sisters and now that the mass are now reopened to the way we once remembered that they were we would like to hope that the Gap that we had the limiting restrictions that we had in having to space ourselves out now we can come together that the mid can be filled there is an increase in the number in the that there is greater reward for that and that you recognize that and that you know that and that you are thankful to Allah subhana wa ta'ala that you are able to come back to the mass in this particular place and remembering what Allah subhah wa tala said that only those who have IM in Allah subhana wa tala should raise the mid or the houses of Allah subhana wa ta'ala and those who have IM in Allah and have belief in the hereafter establish their prayer give their zakah and that they only fear Allah subhana wa taala and it is hoped that they will be from the just mentioning few virtues of this special place the mass or the place where we worship Allah subhah wa ta'ala but as individuals as individuals we have responsibilities towards the houses of Allah subhana wa tala the reward doesn't just start when you enter the Masjid itself the ad the manners that we conduct and that we have inside the Masjid the reward moreover doesn't start from the time that you enter the Masjid the fact that the prophet told or said in the sound Hadith whoever whoever purifies themselves from their homes then walks to the the Masid they only seek the Salah that for every step that you make there is reward given to you and sin removed and that you are state of Salah you're in state of prayer you're in state of as long as that reason while you are there or that you are attending the Masjid until you return is Salah throughout this whole duration from the time that you left your home until you return home the or the intention of you coming here was to establish the Salah Allah subhana tala rewarded you and the Mal they are seeking forgiveness for you Allah have mercy upon this individual knowing these virtues should encourage us to know the ethic of entering the Masjid with our right foot exiting with the left foot when you enter the Masjid you make the Dua when you enter into the Masid when you leave the Masid you make Dua seeking Allah subhana T's when you enter Allah open the doors of Mercy these are places of Mercy specifically and moreover than other places and when you leave ask you from the blessings that can be sought outside the houses of Allah subhana wa tala these are the things that we remember that we come dressed appropriately as Allah tells us that you wear the best of clothes you smell nice that you avoid the Masjid if you've eaten things which may cause harm to others like onions and garlic and so on these were the advices that the prophet am gave to us these are the etiquette we adhere to that the Masjid is to be looked after to be kept clean that the prophet Alam asked for woman where is the individual who's to clean the Masid and it was said to him that she had died and that he sallallah Al wasallam said show me where her grave is and that he sallallahu alaihi wasallam went there offered Salah over her who used to clean the mid Subhan Allah these are the etiquet these are the things that we need to adhere to so that we make this if you can say the word in enjoyable beautiful experience for all of ourselves and those who are around us we came here to remember Allah subhana wa taala we came here to seek Allah's forgiveness for Him to guide us to seek His blessings and virtues in all of our Affairs and the last point that mention inall that the prophet sallallah Alam said and the matter is so vast that Iman is 60 odd or 70 odd branches the highest of it is the statement and the lowest part or the lowest branch that is to remove any harm from the pathway and that bashfulness or shyness is branch of Faith now commenting on this amazing Hadith the part want to mention is that the prophet is to remove anything harmful from the pathway what does this mean this also includes that when we come to the mid that we ensure that people have free way to come to the Masjid to enter to exit that the prophet alai told us not to pray in the ways of people to respect the ways that way people are coming and that they are going even where we leave our cars commented on this mentioning even the cars where we leave our cars that it doesn't harm other people in coming in and coming out because these represent the pathways so we ask Allah subhana to give us to success in understanding the blessings and the virtues of the mid and we ask Allah subhana waala that he places in our hearts love desire to be in the house of Allah subhana wa taala these are the most beloved places to Allah and we would love to have in our hearts the places that Allah loves want true love in my heart for that as well don't just see as responsibility or burden we ask Allah subhana to guide us all to protect us all and to guide all of our amilies and the of Muhammad sahu alaih wasallam we ask Allah subhana to preserve the Muslims all around the world for
