MAINTAINING THE HOUSE OF ALLAH In his book, Allah the Most High mentions that he allows His “houses” to be established throughout the earth. Houses of refuge, of sanctuary for those seeking Him. Houses to escape, even for a moment, the temptations and beckoning of the outside world. Allah the Most High says these houses are the closest places on this earth to Him. The Prophet ﷺ said, “The closest places to Allah are the Mosques, and the furthest places from Allah are the market places” (Quran 24: 36). The binding nature of the existence of a solid Masjid with genuine leadership in any community which expects to thrive in the pleasure of Allah is best depicted in the actions of the Prophet ﷺ when he first arrived in Madina after hijrah. Allah and His messenger have encouraged Muslims to establish Masjids for their community for the sake of Allah, even if it is the size of a bird’s nest! The Prophet ﷺ stated, “Whoever builds a Masjid for Allah, Allah will build a home for them in paradise.” This means that if one designates a Masjid, a building, a plot of land only for Allah in the earth, Allah will set and establish a home for them only in the heavens. The Masjid in a community is truly the heart of the community, and as the Prophet, ﷺ says regarding the heart, “If it is healthy the rest of the body will be healthy and if it spoils so too will be the rest of the body.”
