The purpose of every mosque is that people gather in it to worship One God. To thank God for a mosque is made, it is needed to populate it for five daily prayers with high standards of worship.
Whether one is a person of high grandeur or very poor, the object of creation of both kinds is mentioned as: And I have not created the jinn and the man but they may worship me (51:57) .
Regardless of wordly positions, people stand together as one entity in one place, humbly in presence of Allah to worship Him. It increases the grace of His blessings more than before. Hence, reward of offering a prayer in mosque is twenty seven times greater, according to a hadith.
Reward of each deed is dependent upon its intention, according to another hadith. It means in a mosque one must join others in worship without discriminatory feelings against others to get high rewards. For those who forget real object of prayer /salat woe is said (107:5) .
It is very important to purify one’s thoughts to draw benefits from salat / prayer. Point is explained by the blessed promised messiah (mta.tv) as : Salat during which the heart is wandering somewhere, thoughts are elsewhere and the mouth is uttering something else is a curse. It is thrown back and is not accepted…..Only that salat is real which gives pleasure. Such a salat is a source of generating hatred for sin. This is very salat about which it is said that it is the zenith of a believer and is a source of progression for a believer.
The wealth of belief is to be safeguarded all times as satan tries to steal it all the times. To save this wealth, one has to continuously seek God’s blessings and strive to purify the self against the greed and materialism. With the grace of God, community of promised messiah has made mosques worldwide. Sacrifice and power of belief is their wealth. They have no oil wealth or piles of money.
While in a mosque, no wordly matters are discussed. When one go there only to seek God’s pleasure, no bad thought can stay.
Thus the benefit of making mosque is only when mosques are made with pure intention and one go there with pure heart. It is a sad observation that in some of them, abusive language is used for other religious sects. And sometimes two groups create restlessness there and government authorities have to intervene.
Only making a good looking mosque is not enough. Worshippers are needed who has beautiful hearts and pure intentions, who spread love and affection, and who turn to Allah with sincerity. To bring human close to God and to promote love and brotherhood is the purpose of promised reformer.
The person dear to God is the one who progresses in righteousness. God has taught to attain righteousness through observance of salat / prayer and honoring His other rights and His creation’s rights. And this is the reforming call now, to nit the listeners together in terms of high standards of worship, mutual care, love and purity of hearts for each other. It is to follow the model of blessed holy prophet whose life and death, whose waking and sleep was to attain pleasure of God. It will make acceptance. It will make internal peace and then message of peace can be taken to others.
May Allah the Exalted enable all to live with love and friendliness with aim to receive His pleasure. Ameen.
