62 Religious Studies: IslamThe Etiquetts Of The Mosque
The meaning of the word Masjid is the place for Sijdah. The place
where the Muslims perform their Salat for five times with
congregation is called Mosque. Salat can be performed at home or at
any other places. But twenty seven times more rewards can be
gained if Salat is performed in congregation at the Mosque.
Mosque is the most favourite place to Allah on earth. Mosque is the
house of Allah. Those who perform Salat at the Mosque, are guests
of Allah. Allah loves them very much. They are very much dear to
Allah.
People are invited for Salat through Azan. Azan is announced for
five times from the Mosque for performing Salat. So we shall go to
the Mosque, whenever we listen to the Azan and we shall perform
Salat with congregation.
