Al-Masjid
“The mosque”
A special place
A masjid, or mosque, is a house of Allah where Muslims pray together. Five times a day, the adhan, the call to prayer, invites everyone to come.
Masjid manners
We take off our shoes, enter with our right foot and say a dua. Inside, we walk calmly, speak softly and keep it clean, because it is Allah's house.
Three very special masjids
The three most special masjids are Al-Masjid Al-Haram in Makkah, home of the Kaaba, the Prophet's Masjid in Madinah, and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem.
“Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”
