of a masjid’s manners. An Islamic brother has stated: “Once, before entering a masjid, Ameer of Ahl ul-Sunnah took his shoes off, cleaned both feet with a cloth and then entered. Mentioning its reason in a Madani Muzakarah, he said, ‘At the time of entering a masjid, I clean my feet with a cloth so that no particle of dust may come into it.’ He 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 of Ahl ul-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ often keeps a plastic bag in his pocket in which he places the fallen hair and other particles found on the masjid floor. Sometimes he has more than one plastic bag as well which he gifts to other Islamic brothers after encouraging them to pick up fallen particles etc. from the floor of the masjid.

For further information about the manners of a masjid, obtain Ameer of Ahl ul-Sunnah’s booklet named ‘Keep the Masajid Fragrant’ from Maktaba-tul-Madinah and study it. Present it as a gift to other Islamic brothers as well. This booklet can also be read online or downloaded from the website of Dawat-e-Islami: www.dawateislami.net .
