Once Sayyiduna Sari Saqati رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was sitting in the Masjid alone, he stretched his legs out. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه heard a voice from a corner of the Masjid saying, Sari! Do people sit in this manner before the kings?’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه immediately pulled his legs back and did not stretch them out again till his death. (Saba Sanabil, pp. 131)

(Take care even when rocking babies/children and putting them to sleep that their legs are not towards the Qiblah; it is also important to keep this in mind whilst making them relieve).

1.         Entering a Masjid with used shoes on is an act of disrespect.

الٰہی کرم بہرِ شاہِ عَرَب ہو           ہمیں مَسجِدوں کا مُیَسَّر ادب ہو

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Indeed, the matter of a Masjid’s manners is extremely sensitive, therefore, one should pay great attention to it lest he violates      the rights of the Masjid due to a little carelessness. Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas ‘Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه takes great care of a Masjid’s manners. An Islamic brother has stated: Once before entering a Masjid, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه took his shoes off, cleaned both feet with a cloth and then entered the Masjid. Mentioning its reason in the Madani Muzakarah he دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه said, ‘At the time of entering a Masjid, I clean my feet with a cloth so that no particle of dust may get in the Masjid.’ He دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه further said, ‘With the intention of acting upon the Sunnah I also apply oil to my beard and eyelashes, but I wipe it completely so that the floor of the Masjid may not be smeared with the greasiness of the oil.’

Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه used to have a plastic bag in his pocket in which he would keep the fallen hair and other particles found on the Masjid floor and sometimes he دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه would have more than one plastic bag as well which he would give to other Islamic brothers as a gift
