because you raised your voices in the Masjid of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم!’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 178, Hadees 470)

Dear Islamic brothers! Just ponder! These are the righteous people of      Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ who take great care of displaying proper manners in the Masjid, however, on the other hand we are completely unaware of behaving properly in the Masjid. Not only do we have useless conversations in the Masjid but sometimes bad language is also used. Such kinds of disrespect is usually committed in a Masjid during the Nikah or Teejah ceremony. Some people get busy in the Nikah or become occupied with the recitation of the Holy Quran whilst others start chatting with each other. Then useless talks, backbiting, tale-telling, fun, jokes and laughter begin in such disrespectful ways, اَلۡاَمَان وَالۡحَفِيۡظ. For Allah’s sake, have some fear! This foolish behaviour of ours can destroy our worldly life and the Hereafter. Even the Masjid itself complains about such people to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ:

According to a narration, once a Masjid headed towards the court of        Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ to complain about the people engaging in worldly conversations inside it. Some angels met it on the way and said, ‘We have been sent to ruin them.’ (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 16, pp. 312)

Let’s listen to narrations about the condemnation of worldly conversations and laughter in the Masjid:

1.         There will come a time when people will engage in worldly talk in Masajid, then at that time you must not sit with them. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not care about them. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 3, pp. 86, Hadees 2962)

2.         Worldly conversations in a Masjid, eats away good deeds in such a way as quadrupeds (four-footed animals) eat grass.

(Ithaf-us-Sadaat-il-Muttaqeen, vol. 3, pp. 50)

3.         Laughing in the Masjid causes darkness in the grave.

(Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, vol. 1, pp. 322, Hadees 5231)
