"He comes to the mosque only for the sake of Allah Almighty, he is the guest of Allah until he leaves the mosque"

It is narrated that Auzaga (r.g.) said: “Performing the following five deeds is following the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) and piety: performing a collective prayer, following the sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w.), building a mosque, reading the Quran and fighting in the path of Allah Almighty.”

It was narrated that Hassan bin Ghali said: Three are neighbors of Allah Ta'ala. First- a person who came to the mosque. He comes to the mosque only for the sake of Allah Almighty, he is the guest of Allah until he leaves the mosque. Second- A person visiting his Muslim brother. He visits his Muslim brother only for the sake of Allah Almighty and is a visitor of Allah until he leaves his Muslim brother. The third- a person who set out on a journey with the intention of performing the obligatory Hajj or Hajj Umrah. He goes on a journey only for the sake of Allah Almighty and is one of the messengers of Allah until he returns to his family.

It was also said: "A believer three fortresses. First- mosque. Second- the remembrance of Allah Almighty and third fortress - reading the Koran. If a believer is in one of these fortresses, then he is saved from the shaitan.

Hassan Basri (r.g.) said: "Mahr of the heavenly houris is the cleaning of mosques and their construction."

Gumar bin Khattab said: “Mosques in this world are the houses of Allah Ta'ala. A person who prays in a mosque goes to the mosque to see Allah.”

The faqih said: "Respect for mosques consists of fifteen points. First point: after entering the mosque, greet the people sitting there. If there is no one there or those who are there will perform prayer, then you need to say: "Assalamu galeyna peace-rabbin wa gala gibadi-llakhis-salihin". Second: before sitting down, pray in two rak'ahs, because, verily, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “For every thing there is a dignity (praise). Sanah of the mosque - prayer in two rak'ahs.

The third: do not buy or sell in the mosque. Fourth: do not clean the sword from the blood in the mosque. Fifth: do not look for a lost item. Sixth: do not raise your voice in the mosque, except for the remembrance of Allah Almighty. Seventh: don't talk about worldly things.

Eighth: don't go over people's heads. Ninth: do not argue about the place in the mosque. Tenth: do not oppress anyone in the ranks. Eleventh: do not pass in front of the worshiper. Twelfth: do not spit in the mosque. Thirteenth: don't snap your fingers. Fourteenth: clean the mosques from impurities. Fifteenth: increase the remembrance of Allah Almighty.

Hassan narrated that indeed our Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “A time will come for my ummah when in mosques people will talk about worldly affairs, they will not have anything to do with Allah and do not be their interlocutors.”

Zuhri narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that, indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Those who left their homeland four: The Quran is in the heart of the unjust (cruel), the mosque among people who do not pray, the Quran is in the house where it is not read, and the good (pious) person with the evil people.

Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “The mosques will rise. They will be like camels with white humps. The feet of these camels will be of ambergris, their necks of saffron, and their heads of fragrant musk. The halters of these camels will be of green emerald. These camels will be led by muezzins.

Imams will follow them. They, along with camels, will cross Qiyamata Square like lightning. The people of Qiyamat will say: "These are angels close to Allah, prophets and messengers." They will be announced: “O people of Qiyamat, they are not angels, not prophets and not messengers, but they are the community of Muhammad (s.g.v.), who kept prayer with jamaat (collective prayer).”

Wahb bin Munabbih (r.g.) said: “Mosques will be brought on the Day of Judgment. They will look like garments woven from pearls and yakhont. And then these mosques will stand up for their people.”

From the book "Tanbihul gafilin"

All praise be to Allah.

There are cases in which it is allowed to conduct a second joint prayer and cases when it cannot be held.
The forbidden is the case when people agree in advance to come to the mosque after the imam makes the first joint prayer. It is also forbidden when the second prayer in the mosque turns into something permanent, systematic, such as when it is established that the first joint prayer will be at a certain time, and the second at another time.
This is clearly prohibited because it leads to division among Muslims and people stop striving for the first prayer.

But if the second joint prayer is performed in the mosque not intentionally, without any agreement, such as when a group of people enter the mosque after the imam has finished praying and they pray together, then there are different opinions regarding this. The correct opinion is that it is allowed and mustahabb, because it brings a reward for joint prayer.

Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) said, describing the case of the second prayer in the mosque: As for the first scenario, when two joint prayers are constantly performed in the mosque, then this is undoubtedly makruh, if not haram, because this is a bidah (innovation) and was not known from Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Companions.
Another example is al-Masjid al-Haraam, until the Saudi government changed it, it had four jamaats each with an imam: the Hanbali Imam led the prayers for the Hanbalis, the Shafi Imam led the Shafiites, the Maliki Imam led the Malikis and the Hanafi the imam led the Hanafi. They said: This is the place of Shafi, this is the place of Maliki, this is the place of Hanafi and this is the place of Hanbali.
But King Abdul Aziz entered Makkah and said: “This divides the Ummah, i.e. the Muslim ummah is divided in one mosque, and this is not allowed. Therefore, he united everyone behind one imam. And this was one of his good and worthy deeds (may Allah have mercy on him)
The division of the ummah is prohibited.
Moreover, it leads to laziness, because people can say: If there is a second joint prayer, then we will wait until the second group comes and people stop striving to participate in the first joint prayer behind the imam.”

Then he mentioned the second case and said:
“As for the second case, when this happens without prior agreement, i.e. there is a permanent imam in the mosque, but sometimes two or three people are late for a good reason, then scholars are divided on this issue.
Some scholars said that joint prayer should not be repeated, i.e. should be done individually.
Firstly, the hadeeth of Ubay ibn Ka'b, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Praying with another person is better than praying alone, and praying with two people is better than praying with one person. The more people, the sweeter it is to Allah.” Narrated by Abu Dawud (554) and an Nasai (843). Here it is clearly indicated that it is better to pray with another person than alone. If we say that there should not be a second joint prayer, then this means that we preferred a less preferred choice, and this is contrary to the text.
Secondly: Once, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sitting with his companions, and a man came after they had completed their joint prayer. He (the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) asked: “Who will give alms to this person and pray with him?” One of the people got up and prayed with the man.” Tirmidhi (220). This clearly shows that congregational prayer can be performed after constant congregational prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) condoned that someone pray with this man. If someone says that this is charity, and when two men are late and perform a second joint prayer in the mosque, then they perform what they are obliged to do, then it can be answered that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ordered perform this act of beneficence and pray with the man who has already prayed, then is it not prescribed for a person who has not yet prayed to pray with this man?
The third scenario is when the mosque is in the market or on the road, etc. If it is a mosque in a market where people come and go, and two or three or ten men gather, pray and then leave, as happens in mosques in the markets, then it is not makrooh to repeat the prayer together. One of the scholars said: There is a consensus on this matter and there is no difference of opinion, because it is a mosque where different groups come and go, and there is no permanent imam behind which people can unite. al-Sharh al-Mumti' (4/227-231).
We can advise our brethren to be reconciled and to try to unite and put an end to divisions and disunity and selfishness. One should try to maintain unity and harmony; can this be a reason for division and quarrels?
We have the example of Abdullah ibn Musud (radiallahu anhu) who criticized Osman (radiallahu anhu) for doing the full prayer in Mina, but despite this, he also performed the full prayer. When asked about this, he said: "Separation is evil" Abu Dawud (1960).
Among the indications of the importance of unity is that a large number of scholars have said that it is permissible for the Imam to omit some of the sunnah in order to unite the people, as Shaykh ul Islam ibn Taymiyyah said:

“If the imam thinks that some action is mustahabb, but the people praying behind him do not consider it mustahabb, and he skips it for the sake of unity and harmony, then this is better. An example of this is the witr prayer, regarding which there are three opinions:
1. Witr can only be performed in three rak'ahs, like the Maghreb, and this is the opinion of the people from Iraq
2. Witr can only be performed in one separate rak'ah, this is the opinion of many people from Hijaz
3. Both opinions are acceptable, this is the opinion of Shafi, Ahmad and others and this is the correct opinion, despite the fact that they preferred one separate rak'ah.
If the imam thinks that it should be done separately and the people behind him think that witr should be done like Maghreb and he agrees with them in order to unite, then it is better, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Aisha : "If your people had not gotten rid of the jahiliyyah so recently, I would have destroyed the Kaaba and built it on a level with the ground and with two doors, one for entry and one for exit." But he gave up what he thought was best, so as not to alienate people. If a person believes that reading basmala aloud is correct, but there are people behind him who do not think so, or vice versa, then if he agrees with them, then this is better.
al-Fataawa al-Kubra (2/118).

We ask Allah to guide us to the right path.

In north London, in Finsbury Park, a van crashed into a crowd of parishioners of a local mosque returning from evening prayers. Police say one person died at the scene from his injuries, and 10 people were injured. The van driver has been arrested.

Prime Minister Theresa May said police are treating the incident as a potential terrorist attack. In this regard, May will hold an emergency meeting of the government emergency committee COBRA.

The head of the Muslim Council of Great Britain, Haroon Rashid Khan, tweeted that a driver deliberately ran over people who were leaving the mosque after evening prayers in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

He also said that the collision did not take place near the mosque itself, but near the Muslim social assistance center, a few dozen meters from the mosque.

The 48-year-old driver of the van was reportedly arrested. The street in the area of ​​the scene was blocked by the police, and ambulances arrived. A helicopter flies in the sky over Finsbury Park.

As a precautionary measure, the place was immediately .

Eyewitnesses say that the police arrived at the scene first and began to provide first aid to the victims even before the ambulances arrived.

“At least three or four people were on the sidewalk, they were helped by the police. I saw at least two people on the ground. It didn’t look very good, I saw that the police were giving one of them a heart massage until an ambulance arrived ... so it all looked really bad, I hope they're okay," a woman at the scene told the BBC.

The Finsbury Park incident took place at the end of the month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. It is considered sacred to Muslims. Throughout the month, Muslims fast during the daytime - they refuse to eat, drink, smoke and entertainment. You can start eating and drinking only after dark.

Theresa May said her thoughts were all about the victims of the "terrible incident" and opposition Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said he was "absolutely shocked" by the incident.

famous mosque

The mosque in Finsbury Park, located near the scene of the incident, has long been famous for being associated with various extremists.

In particular, it was visited by Richard Reed, who tried to blow up an airliner with a bomb in his shoes, and Zacarias Moussaoui, who is accused of assisting the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks.

The most famous person associated with the mosque was the radical imam Abu Hamza al-Masri who preached there. He spent seven years in a British prison on charges of incitement to murder and religious intolerance. In 2012, he was extradited to the United States, where.

The court found him guilty of aiding and abetting terrorism. In particular, Abu Hamza was found guilty of assisting Al-Qaeda and a number of other organizations recognized as extremist.

The mosque was closed in 2003, but reopened in 2005 with new leadership appointed by the Muslim Council of Great Britain.

IN last years religious tolerance was preached in the mosque, it was open to everyone.

On June 3, on a bridge in central London, a van moving at high speed ran into the pavement and knocked down several pedestrians. The van then drove over London Bridge and stopped near the Borough Market located next to the bridge. The men who jumped out of it attacked passers-by with knives.

There were three attackers, all of them were killed by the police who arrived at the scene.

As a result of the attack on London Bridge, seven people were killed and dozens were injured.

It's cold and pouring rain in Toronto on the first day of autumn, but the weather hasn't stopped Muslims from gathering at the Unity Mosque, a makeshift prayer space at the women's health center. This mosque is visited by LGBT Muslims who recently immigrated to Canada, young LGBT Muslims born in this country, people who recently converted to Islam and allies. Many of those present were able to find their community only here: some are rejected in their countries for sexual orientation and gender identity, some are looked down upon in the LGBT community in Canada.

El-Farouk Khaki is a supportive father figure who is approached by young LGBT Muslims. In his sermons, he does not list what is possible and what is not. Instead, he talks about self-care, healing, topics that are important to members of the community, most of whom have been traumatized by the rejection of family and conventional mosques. One of the people who approached El Farouk talks about the halal nail polish she uses. Some brands have begun releasing water-permeable lacquer specifically for Muslim women — the regular one prevents them from performing ritual cleansing before prayer.

Khaki wonders if such varnish is really needed: “Are your nails dirty when you apply varnish? It is unlikely that anyone would paint dirty nails with varnish.

In the Mosque of Unity, everything can be discussed, everything can be argued with. Talk about personal religious experience is encouraged here. Personal experience Khaki himself explains why he decided to create a mosque that would be a safe space for anyone who feels insecure: he grew up in Tanzania, where he was one of the few people with brown skin in the black majority. After that, he moved with his family to Canada. He always felt like a minority. Khaki's parents grew up in the Shia community, but when Khaki was a child, they became Sunnis - as a result, he himself feels like a stranger in both directions. He tried to be a Sunni, but he realized that this did not fit his relationship with Islam.

“I think a lot of people understand this, especially new believers,” Haki explains. “Prophet Muhammad was not a Sunni, he was not a Shia. These words mean nothing to me."

Khaki is skeptical about strict rituals like reciting the Koran or prayer, which are obligatory in most mosques, while the meaning of these rituals is not comprehended. The Unity Mosque has a unique approach to prayer: in traditional mosques, women and men pray separately, but here everyone sits together.

You can immediately notice that people in the Unity Mosque are dressed in absolutely any way: some Muslim women wear hijabs, others are covered with tattoos and pray with bare heads.

“A good imam will not reduce a person’s spiritual identity to clothes,” Khaki says. “My main role is counseling. Everything else is a ritual, and a ritual has no meaning on its own. Is fear really all a community needs? What about integrity and love? This is the main role of the religious community.”

Perhaps the focus on the health and spiritual well-being of the community is what attracts allies who like to identify with a mosque that welcomes all.

“The mosque is taking on this role because the world is rejecting it. It is not enough to simply say that "Islam" is translated as "peace". People are just trying to calm themselves. If Islam meant peace, then one and a half billion Muslims would change the planet for the better. But they don't do it,” Khaki says.

The need for introspection and reflection on the extent to which mosques meet the needs of communities is something Khaki and many other LGBT Muslims interviewed in the first weeks after Orlando thought about.

Among the days of the week, Friday holds a special place among Muslims. On this day, a general movement begins, preparation for something special, significant. This is especially noticeable in Muslim countries. People dressed in holiday clothes, clean, with luminous faces, joyfully go to Friday prayers, attaching special importance to this day.

The obligation of Friday prayer is established in the Qur'anic verse, the meaning of which is as follows: “O you who believe! When they call for prayer on Friday, then strive for the remembrance of Allah and leave trading. It's better for you. Oh, if you only knew! And when the prayer is over, then disperse over the earth, and seek the mercy of Allah, and remember Allah often; maybe you'll be happy!" (62:9–10).

How highly the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) highly valued this day can be seen from the hadiths: “Friday is the most blessed day! It is more majestic than the day of the Feast of Conversation (Uraza Bayram) and the day of the Feast of Sacrifice (Kurban Bayram), since on this day our forefather Adam, peace be upon him, was created, on the same day he was lowered from Paradise to earth, on that day his soul was taken, and the Day of Judgment will also take place on Friday.” It is also necessary to remember the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “ Whoever leaves the Friday prayer three times in a row, neglecting it, his heart will be sealed by the Almighty, i.e. true faith will not enter his heart».

Friday prayer is obligatory:

1. For residents of a given city, locality. And also for those who live within one farsakh (5544 meters).

Those who are outside this territory are required to attend prayer if they heard the call in a high voice from the minarets. In a word, Friday prayer is obligatory for residents of the city and the suburbs associated with it, and not obligatory for those who live in a separate settlement from the city (in a village or village). The one who is passing through the city and is not a resident of it, is obliged to perform Friday prayer if he intends to stay there for 15 full days. Friday prayers are not obligatory for travelers.

2. For those who are healthy. The sick and those who cannot leave the sick alone, prayer in the mosque is not obligatory.

3. For free people. Work or study is not a good reason to skip prayer more than 3 times in a row. There are various forms of agreements with both employers and teachers. True, and here there are cases when it is simply impossible to agree. Then these people become unfree.

4. For men. Friday prayers are not obligatory for women and children.

5. For adults and able-bodied.

6. For the sighted. For the blind, even if they have a guide, Friday prayer is not obligatory.

7. Having the ability to walk. The legless, wheelchair-bound, and paralyzed are not obligated to perform Friday prayers.

8. Mandatory for those who are not in prison, are not afraid of persecution by the authorities, are not afraid of being captured, attacked by robbers, etc.

Not required in case of natural disasters (hard frosts, avalanche threat, heavy rains, etc.).

Those who are not charged with the Friday prayer, perform the lunch prayer at home one by one without adhan and iqamat, and if they suddenly go to the Friday prayer, then performing it is enough instead of lunch.

Seven Conditions for Friday Prayer to Be Valid

1. Prayer should be read in a fairly large settlement that has a representative of authority. Scientists say: "This is locality where the main mosque does not accommodate the entire jamaat.” In large cities, where there are several mosques, Friday prayers can be performed in several places, if it is considered necessary in order not to lead people to problems and difficulties, especially in large cities, where it is sometimes difficult to get to the center from the outskirts.

2. The imam must have permission from the local authority. Or a person authorized by this imam can lead the prayer. If the prayer is led by a person who has not received permission, but behind him this Friday prayer is read by someone who has the authority to do so, then the prayer is valid. The exceptions are those cases when neither the authorities nor the people who have received permission from them do not go to the mosque. Then the imam chosen by the jamaat can lead the Friday prayer.

3. It is performed during the midday prayer.

4. Reading a sermon before the obligatory Friday prayer. 5. At the same time, the presence of at least one man of sound mind is necessary. If only women and children listened to the sermon, then such a khutbah is invalid.

6. Reading the Friday prayer by the Jamaat. In addition to the imam, it is necessary to have a jamaat in the amount of three adult, reasonable and religious male Muslims, even if they are sick or travelers.

7. The doors of the mosque where prayer is held must be open to everyone. One cannot be allowed into the mosque, while the other is forbidden to enter.

Circumstances under which you can skip the Friday prayer
In the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the following categories of people are given, for whom the performance of the Friday prayer is not obligatory - this is a slave, a woman, a child and a sick person. For them, the performance of the Friday prayer is not obligatory, therefore, they can skip it, while performing the usual dinner prayer. And the rest must fulfill it strictly and in the best possible way.

If the Friday prayer is skipped without good reason, it is forbidden. The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are known: “Either people will stop leaving Friday prayers, or Allah will put a seal on their hearts, and after that they will be of those who show negligence.”

Desirable Friday activities

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said about Friday: “ Verily, Friday is both a holiday and a day dedicated to the remembrance of Allah». In another hadith: "On this day, Allah Almighty forgives six hundred thousand sinners at his own discretion, freeing them from hell." But in order to be among those chosen by Allah, certain conditions must be met. Here is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) says about this: “If a Muslim, having cleansed himself to the best of his strength, perfumed himself with incense, comes to the mosque and, without disturbing anyone, fulfills the prescribed duties, and even does not talk or look around, but he listens silently and with humility to the sermon, then from this and until next Friday all his mistakes will be forgiven. When going to the mosque, you can not eat garlic, onions and other foods with a pungent odor.

Before the Friday prayer, it is advisable for a Muslim to bathe, cut his nails, put on clean and smart clothes, use the most pleasant smell, and come to the mosque as early as possible. There to repent for voluntary and involuntary sins committed during the week, read the Koran, remember lovely names Allah and glorify Him, the Almighty and the Almighty (say dhikr). On Friday, angels sit at the entrance to the mosque and note: "The first to come was such and such a Muslim, the second - that one, the third - that one ...".

As soon as the imam begins to preach, the angels stop recording and the book closes.

It is advisable for the imam to sit on the minbar before the sermon, turning to the jamaat. It is advisable for the Mu'azzin to pronounce the second adhan before him. Khutba first begins with the praise of Allah Almighty, then with the utterance of both testimonies and the reading of salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). It is also advisable to read a few verses from the Qur'an and hadiths, explain their meaning. Then read a sermon, the topic of which should be relevant for this region and useful for strengthening God-fearing in the hearts and deeds of Muslims.

During the second sermon, it is advisable to make dua to Muslims. Since there are two sermons, it is advisable to sit between them.

It is also desirable, together with the imam, in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to read tasbihs. This is especially desirable in modern Russia, where Muslims have few opportunities for frequent meetings and are in great need of joint (in jamaat) prayers-duas, especially on such a great day as Friday. Having performed tasbihs together, believers stand up at the same time and greet each other, communicate, share joys.

Unwanted Friday activities

1. It is undesirable, close to a forbidden action, to step over other believers in order to get into the front rows of the mosque, since by doing so you bring them certain harm. Arriving at the mosque, you can not walk between the rows and, unceremoniously pushing people apart, disturbing them, try to take a seat in the front rows.

Of course, the front rows are very honorable. But they are for those who came earlier. After the adhan or iqamat, when people stand closer to each other for prayer, the empty seats in the front row will be occupied by those standing behind. For those who come later, it is best to take any free place, so as not to fall into sin, making their way forward.

By sneaking into the front ranks, hitting others, you distract them, prevent them from concentrating, offend their feelings and incur the wrath of Allah on yourself. The hadith says: “If someone, having come to the Friday prayer, disturbs people, makes his way to the front ranks, then let him know that he is building a bridge directly to hell.”

2. It is undesirable for the imam to greet the jamaat when he goes out to read the khutbah, since by doing so he forces them to answer him, and this is reprehensible for them.

3. It also refers to what is blameworthy, close to forbidden, to sell something or buy something after Friday Adhan, and also refers to what is blameworthy, close to forbidden things, all actions that distract a person from prayer.

4. It is undesirable to eat and drink in the mosque during the Khutbah.

5. It is undesirable to lift another person to sit in his place, as the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Let none of you lift another from his place on Friday day to sit there, but let him say that they gave him a place."
6. It is also forbidden to perform prayer or dua, greet and talk at a time when the imam went up to the minbar to read a sermon, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When one of you enters the mosque at that time, when the imam makes a khutbah, let him not pray or speak until the imam completes his khutbah, and let him also not answer salaam. From the moment the imam ascends the minbar until the end of two rak'ahs of fard prayer, all people in the jamaat must strictly remain silent, especially during the sermon itself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned: “If during the Friday sermon you say to your neighbor “Shut up”, then your coming to the mosque for the Friday sermon will be in vain.” “Whoever, during a Friday sermon, will say to another only“ be silent ”, he blabbed out, and whoever blabbed out, there is no Friday for him.” Theologians, commenting on what was said, clarified: "The reward for participating in the Friday prayer, even with a slight conversation during the sermon, will not be complete." But all theologians, without exception, agree that the obligatory prayer counts. this person, that is, it is canonically valid, and there is no need to reread it.

In accordance with the two mentioned and several other authentic hadiths, during the Friday sermon it is necessary to listen to the imam and strictly remain silent. IN otherwise we leave the Friday prayer without reward (sawab), which we so much, especially today, need.

May the Almighty accept our prayers, be merciful to us and save us from mistakes!
