Abu Huraira (R.A.) reported that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said:-

"In the world a place dear to Allah is the Masjid and the place not liked by Him is the Bazaar." (Muslim; Mishkat) "

The reason for Allah's liking the Masjid is that the purpose of the creation of the people is that He (Allah) may be remembered in the world; Whereas in the bazaar, lying and cheating, greed and dishonesty etc., cause people to forget Allah.

Hazrat Usmaan (R.A.) reported that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said:-

"If anyone build a Masjid for Allah, Allah will build a house for Him in paradise (Jannah)." (Muslim, Bukhari)

The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) declared that the Masjid is the best place in the world.

The Masjid is the House of Allah; Allah's House does not mean that Allah actually resides in it, hut that Allah is much remembered therein.


The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said,
"When someone makes wuzoo and goes to the Masjid for namaaz or Salaat, for every step he takes he is raised up one rank and also one fault erases (wipes out) from him when he performs his Namaaz or Salaat, the Angels continue to bless him, so long as he is praying, the Angels say O Allah! send blessing on Him. O Allah!
show him mercy. O Allah! forgive him. O Allah! accept his repentance;-so long as he does not give trouble therein; so long as he does not talk."
(Bukhari and Muslim)
