Entering The Mosque

            Do not forget my Muslim brother ... that while entering the Mosque, you pray to Allah to open for you the doors of His Mercy for the reception of your Salat and supplication, as we are taught by Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him):“In the Name of Allah; OAllah, bestow blessings on Muhammad; O Allah, open for me the doors of Your Mercy”.

            And do not forget my Muslim brother, to seek the Pleasure of Allah by using Miswak, (tooth-stick) as the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) has urged and guided by his saying:“ Miswak is an instrument for cleansing the mouth and seeking the Pleasure of Allah, the Almighty” (Ibn Khuzaimah, Ash-Shafi'i, Ahmad).

            My Muslim brother, remain calm and sober, when you go to the Mosque. This is the morality and decency of a Muslim during worship, as we are guided by the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) in his saying:“ Walk in sobriety and dignity” (Al-Bukhari, Muslim).
