God: there is no deity save Him, the Living, the Eternal One.

Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To

Him belong whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth. Who can intercede with Him
except by His permission? He knows all that is before them and all that is behind them. They can grasp only
that part of His knowledge which He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; and their
upholding does not weary Him. He is the Sublime, the Almighty One! [al Baqarah 2:255]

God is the light of the heavens and the earth. His light may be compared to a niche containing a lamp
[24:35]

He is God: there is no deity save Him. He knows the unseen and the visible. He is the Compassionate, the
Merciful.

He is God, there is no deity save Him, the Sovereign, the Most Pure, the Source of Peace, the Granter of
Security, the Protector, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Supreme, Glory be to God, who is far above what they
associate with Him.

He is God -- the Creator, the Originator, the Giver of Form. His are the most excellent names. Everything in
the heavens and earth declares His glory. He is the Mighty, the Wise One.

If all the trees on earth were pens, and the sea [were] ink, with seven [more] seas added to it, the words of
God would not be exhausted: for, truly, God is Almighty and Wise. [31:27]

Blessed is He in whose hand is the Kingdom: He has power over all things;

He created death and life so that He might test you, and find out which of you is best in conduct. He is the
Mighty, the Most Forgiving One.

He created seven heavens one above the other in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the
Gracious One. Then look once again: can you see any flaw?

Then look again and again. Your gaze will come back to you confused and exhausted. [67:1-4]

when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is.

So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back.
[36:82-83]

-So now, when THIS Allah says:

And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [al Baqarah 2:43]
-HOW WILL WE RESPOND?!

Abu Hurairah said that the Messenger of Allah 3 If anyone goes out in the
morning or in the evening to the masjid, Allah will prepare for him his food in Paradise as often
as he goes out in the morning or in the evening [Bukhari and Muslim]
- 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said as reported by Imam Muslim: "The man who wishes to meet Allah
tomorrow (i.e.the Day of Judgment) as a true Muslim, should offer these (five) prayers regularly
and steadfastly in a place where the call for the prayers is habitually made (i.e. a mosque), for
Allah has laid down for your Prophet certain ways of good guidance (Sunnan al-Huda), and
offering the five prescribed prayers with the Jama'ah is one of them. If you offer these prayers at
home," he added pointing towards a man, "as he does, keeping away from the Jama'ah, you will
have forsaken the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if you forsake the Sunnah of your Prophet, you
will go astray. The man who (performs the wudu' or ablution and cleanses himself in the proper
manner, and then) goes to a mosque, for every step that he takes, Allah forgives one of his sins,
adds one good deed to his account and promotes him one rank higher. Our company was such
that there was not a single man, except for people known for their hypocrisy who would offer
their prayers at home away from the Jama'ah, so much so that even when a man was ill or unable
to walk, he was brought to the mosque with his hands resting on the shoulders of two men, and
made to stand in the row of those who were praying
- There was a Sheikh who missed Salat in Jamaat. He was so distressed about missing out on the
reward of 27X, that he prayed the salah again 26 times (the 26 were nafl). That night, when he
was asleep, he had a dream. In his dream, he heard a voice call out, that OK, youve gotten your
reward of 27X, but how will you get the reward of saying Ameen?! SubhanAllah. We dont
think of the reward that we miss out on. It comes in the hadith, that when the Imam says Ameen,
the angles also say Ameen. If the muqtadis Ameen coincides with the malaikah, all of his sins
are forgiven!!!
- DONT LET THE LAST DAY YOUR ARE BROUGHT TO THE MASJID BE THE DAY YOU ARE CARRIED BY SIX
STRONG MEN.
- The mosque is prayer-conditioned.
- Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the mosque for a face lift.
