	<description><![CDATA[Today’s khutbah (5/6/2026) focused on the significance of the masjid, its intended purposes, and the proper manners Muslims should observe when attending and utilizing the masjid.

*Masjid’s Purpose and Prohibited Activities:*
- Announcing lost items or conducting business in the masjid is prohibited.
- ⁠The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explicitly said, “May Allah not return this for you," referring to those who use the masjid for such improper announcements, emphasizing that masajid were not established for these worldly matters.
- ⁠The mosque’s sanctity is to be preserved for the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah.

*Spiritual Role of the Masjid:*
- However, if a person ‘loses’ themselves spiritually (loses iman), coming to the masjid helps rekindle that connection with Allah.
- ⁠The masjid is more than a building with walls and a roof; its true value lies in the faith and actions of those who maintain and attend it—people who believe in Allah and the day of Judgment, establish prayer, give zakah, and fear no one but Allah (Quran 9:18).
- ⁠The Prophet’s (peace be upon him) migration to Medina began with building a masjid (Masjid Quba), underscoring its central role in Muslim life and community.

*Masjid’s Status and Rewards for Those Attached:*
- The Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned among the seven who will receive shade under Allah’s throne on the Day of Judgment is “a man whose heart is attached to the masjid.”
- ⁠The wording “attached”indicates a deep spiritual bond—even if worldly duties force a person to be away, their heart remains connected to the masjid.
- ⁠Such attachment brings great reward and honor in the hereafter.

*Etiquettes and Respect for the Masjid:*
- Enter the masjid calmly, respectfully, with dignity—no rushing or loud voices.
- ⁠Keep voices low inside the masjid, as a sign of reverence, similar to how one behaves in a respected person’s home.
- ⁠Dress well and perfume yourself appropriately when attending the masjid, as it is the “House of the King of Kings.”
- ⁠Avoid coming to prayer in sleepwear or unkempt clothing, even though it is not sinful, it is unbecoming of a believer in the presence of Allah.
- ⁠Upon entering, perform two light rak’ahs (Tahiyyatul Masjid) before sitting down, even if the khutbah has started, reading them with moderate care (around 2-3 minutes).

*The Masjid as a Community Hub:*
- The masjid is not merely a place for prayer; it serves as a center for learning (tadris), discussion of halal and haram, and tranquility, as was the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) mosque where the companions would gain knowledge and peace.
- ⁠New lessons on Aqeedah will begin in the masjid in Cluster G on Saturdays between Maghrib and Isha, the lessons are to strengthen community understanding of core Islamic beliefs.

*Contrast Between Masjid and Markets:*
- The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that the most beloved places to Allah are the masajid, while the worst are the markets, which often feature immorality, loud voices, and improper interaction between men and women.
- ⁠Muslims should reflect on this and ensure the masjid remains a place free from such disturbances, a sanctuary of peace and respect.]]></description>
