Hadith narrated by mumble hottie anyone Muslim. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said either Dukkha dukkha and Masjid
failure occur or aka artania copula ageless. When one of you
enters the masjid, you should perform two records of prayer to
the gods of prayer prior to sitting down.
This is a Salah that is considered that is called Dahir to the
masjid, which means greeting the Masjid.
Because the masjid is hold such an important place in the life of a
Muslim. Whenever we enter the masjid out of respect for it, it
said that you should at least recite, at least performed two
records of prayer.
The outcome of this prayer, it's Mr. Hub, it's muster hub, which
means it's highly recommended. And it's not obligatory, but it is
recommended and there's great amount of reward. And
a person obviously gets closer to Allah subhanaw taala by performing
these two records, there are some rules that relate to this prayer,
though. I mean, essentially, it's just a tool of God Knuffle prayer,
voluntary prayer and extra prayer. So it's not obligatory in any
sense of the word. However,
what it is, is that because the whole purpose of it is to greet
the masjid, the whole purpose of it is to show that you're
acknowledging that you've entered the masjid and you've got respect
for this masjid. And thus, you are performing this these two kinds of
prayer in the Hanafi school at least, and maybe in other schools
as well. If you come in and the Jamara has already begun, the
congregation has already started and you can't that time it would
actually be rude to start your own tour accounts of Dieter Masjid
because there's something greater, which is also part of the masjid
that is taking place which is the gym or the congregation, the main
purpose why you're there. So in that case, if you just join in the
form of prayer that that you might have started and you had an
intention to do the here to Masjid because you normally do that here
the masjid then you will be rewarded for the diet and muscle
as well. Though your intention is primarily for that font, but in
the back of your mind you also have that you will have done to
hate unless you had you had you reach there earlier. Likewise, if
you got there and there's a short amount of time left and you don't
have time for the hater message.
Then if you just do the Sunnah of that prayer. So for example,
you've gone in for officer of Allah, and you've gone in there
about five minutes earlier. You know that if you engage yourself
in total cuts of separate the heat unless you pray you, it's going to
it's going to then encroach on your time you may not be able to
then do your photocards as in the Hanafi school of the Assam Sunnah
or the Lauridsen. Then you just do your Sunnah prayer and you should
be rewarded for the hidden message. Essentially the hidden
message means you're greeting the masjid with any prayer whatsoever.
So even if you're doing a fourth prayer in that in that sense, or
you're doing a Sunnah prayer as the Sunnah of your of the next
folk prayer that you're about to attend, you will get the reward
for the hater masjid, but the intention must be there that
you're greeting the masjid as such.
However, when you enter at any other time, and it's it's a macro
time when Knuffle prayers are considered undesirable or highly
disliked, then you should do two records of prayer. The two times
when you should not pray it, even if you do enter it the first time
around, you're not going to do anything else is after the other
solid has been performed after your own associate has been
performed. Once the answer prayer has been performed whatever time
that is during the time of the answer, once you've performed you
yourself has performed the answer but then after that you can't do
the head machine until mothering is considered McGruder he need to
do to do a novel prayer. This is a novel prayer. This is a novel
prayer as well. However, at that time, just as a separate point,
you can do Kadar prayers, you can make up prayers at that time until
until about 1015 minutes, 15 minutes before mahalo prayer,
because that then becomes a mcru time. Likewise, federal time. Now
the federal time is a bit different than acid in us or once
it's only after you've prayed your answer. You're fond of us that you
can't then pray an interval press. But before that time during the
time of the appropriate general, you can make Knuffle press until
you yourself have made your own foreign prayer. Whereas in the
foot Fajr in the fridge and the whole time, regardless of whether
you've performed your sunnah or your father of the Fajr or not,
there is no national prayer allowed in there. That's the
difference between the budget and answer prayer times. So once you
know even if you've done your sunnah and your fault, or even if
you haven't done them yet, you can't make any invalid prayer.
It's my crew to do so during the time of Fajr.
The devil prayer time then is earlier which is in tahajjud time.
Having said that, if there is a very big masjid, for example,
let's just take the example of masjid and nibbly you're living in
a hotel on the south side of Masjid Nabawi you want to go
somewhere right? To the north side of it. Right or from the east to
the west of it.
If you had to go all the way around, it's a really big trek. So
what some people do is they go through the Masjid. So essentially
they're using the masjid as a corridor or a shortcut. Likewise,
this is the case in many big masajid around the world. I've
experienced this in Delhi. In the big Jamia masjid, there's all
these markets and shops and businesses around it. And it's a
very large, complex, very large complex, the courtyard especially
is very large. So if you have to go through through the masjid to
get to the other side, then obviously that's considered a bit
disrespectful that you're going through a masjid as a shortcut,
because the machine is actually for a bother. So what the other
must say that if you have to use it for that, you shouldn't but if
you really have to, because it's you just the other way around is
very long, then you have to at least go in and make Twitter
constant prayer of the hidden message, if it's the time for
that. And then and then you carry on. Another point about this here
to the masjid, which I have specifically for people from the
Indo Pak subcontinent origin, is that they and maybe some Hanafi is
to a certain degree, I'm not sure if it's a Hanafi thing or just the
Indo Pak subcontinent thing. But they don't consider this to hear
the mission to be. They don't observe it as as much.
And they, you know, go into the masjid and, and we'll just sit
down. If
waiting for the prayer, they'll they'll be engaged in sunnah or
anything else. But there's not much regard for the here to the
masjid on its own. So yes, it's not Santa Monica, right? It's not
Santa Monica. It's not fun. It's not worship. But it's something
that should be done especially when we do go to the masjid
anyway. So tour gods are prayer. Another another thing that you
could do is that if you've got a lot of collaborators to make up,
then you go in there and you just do tarot cards instead of the tour
cuts of the hater machine on its own, you could actually do a tour
or cut Fajr Kadapa. For example, if you've got federal codes to
make up, and you'd get the reward for the heat and masjid, so it's
something it's something to to observe.
The other thing about it is that it has to be performed before
sitting down. If a person goes in and then sits down and then
realizes Oh, I should do two records. I've got time, then
they've lost that Meerut. They can still do to the tour gods but
they've lost some of the merit of that because it's the brokers and
Allah some said copula usually this before the person sits down.
So this is before the person sits down. There is another prayer
which is very similar to this which is called the here to do
that after a wudu is performed and before the body dries now this is
probably more possible in hotter places than it is in cold places
because in colder places. Once you've washed yourself once you've
made the woodwind ablution then you want to dry yourself as
quickly as possible because it's quite cold. But in hotter places
people don't really dry themselves they just they just make they will
do that by the time you get to the masjid they're dry anyway. So
normally the idea there is that once the will do is performed then
you pray you perform Tura cancer as well for the will do now
however you could incorporate the two you've done will do you've
gone to university to make Torah cuts Inshallah, you should be
rewarded for both
