May Allah grant us with the capacity to populate Masaajid! How sweet is the word Masjid! Masjid is the place of communion and union with Allah. How good, grand and sweet  is the place Masjid which relieves man of every grief, every misery and every sin of the world. Masjid! Masjid! Masjid!

The Most Elevated Place!

    Travel to the Moon or the Mars is not progress because mosquitoes and flies also fly very high up۔ Humans also fly. A Muslim's stay at Masjid is a real progress. I damn care if someone laughs at my point. Progress means elevation. Which place can be more elevated than Allah's House? Masjid directly belongs to the Paradise. The whole earth, the moon and the stars will crumble down on the Day of Judgement but the land of Masjid will be lifted to the Paradise and be made a part of it. The land of the Masjid will bear witness to the Believers on the Day of Judgement that they populated it, bowed down in it and prostrated in it. Estimate please, how powerful is Majsid and how vast is the land of Masjid. It stretches from the world to the Hereafter, from the earth to the sky and from the sky to the Paradise. My hearty yearning is to keep constructing Masaajid in the world where call for prayers may keep echoing. The Holy Prophetﷺ  supplicated thrice for the people who raise voice of Azaan in the Masjid  اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤَذِّنِینْ O Allah, forgive those who raise voice for Azaan.

    Hazrat Umar said, "O Messenger of Allahﷺ, you have given so many excellences for Azaan that people will raise swords for Azaan after your demise. Everyone will wish to recite Azaan. As all will not be able to do so, there will be fights to reap this excellence." The Holy Prophetﷺ said  کَلَّا یَا عُمَر. O Umar! It will not happen thus. انہ سیأتی علی الناس زمان یترکون الاذان علی ضعفائھم  People will grow so negligent that they will leave the task of Azaan to the weak people. Alas! Alas! Alas! How disgraceful the word Muazzan has grown now! May Allah forgive! May Allah forgive! The duty of Azaan is assigned to those who are weak, old and good for nothing. In this way, those weak people are in enjoyments because the Holy Prophetﷺ saysوتلک لحوم حرمھا اللّٰہ عزوجل علی النار.  This is the meat upon which Allah has rendered Fire unlawful i.e. the flesh of the bodies of those who recite Azaan. The Fire of hell cannot touch it. This excellence is neither for a doctor nor an engineer nor those who land at the moon. This excellence is for those who populate Masjaajid. Estimate please how great progress it is! What greater progress can be there that a Muslim may be absolved of the fire of hell? O mad lovers of Din, construct Masaajid, populate them, bring the Muslims to them and strengthen Masaajid through Jihad!
