severely, because you raised your voices while conversing in the masjid of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’”^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers, just ponder! These are the righteous people of Allah who would be very mindful of the manners of the masjid. However, on the other hand, we are completely unaware of the manners of the masjid. Not only do we have useless conversations in the masjid, but مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه, sometimes obscene language is also used. Such type of disrespect is usually committed in a masjid during a nikah ceremony or Fatihah gathering. Some people are busy in the nikah proceedings or occupied with the recitation of the Holy Quran whilst others start chatting with each other. Then, useless talks, backbiting, tale-telling, jokes and laughter begin in such disrespectful ways اَلْاَمَان وَالْحَفِیْظ. 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:

According to a narration, once a masjid headed towards the court of Allah 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.”^[2]

 Let us listen to some narrations regarding the condemnation of worldly conversations and laughter in the masjid:

*   There will come a time when people will engage in worldly talk in masjids. At that time you must not sit with them. Allah Almighty does not care about them.^[3]
