[quote]Salam,

[i][b]How can one go into a Masjid these days when all of the mosques have the word [red][b]Allah[/b][/red] and [b]Muhammad[/b] side by side stencilled or in carvings mounted on the walls[/b][/i]?

[b][blue]The Quran makes it very clear that all [red][u]masajid are for commemorating the name of God alone [/u] [/red] (not Allah and Muhammad!). Moreover, all the words of our salat (prayer) should be dedicated to the name of God alone:[/b][/blue]

[red]&quot;The masajid (places of worship) are for the name of God alone; do not call on anyone else beside God&quot;[/red] 72:18

[b]Believers are commanded not to enter or pray in any masjid that harbours idol worship (shirk). If we cannot find a masjid that is dedicated to worshipping God alone and dedicated to commemorating His name alone in the salat, then we are advised to pray at home or with any group of genuine believers.[/b]

[9:107] [red]There are those who abuse the masjid by practicing idol worship, dividing the believers, and providing comfort to those who oppose God and His messenger. They solemnly swear: &quot;Our intentions are honorable!&quot; God bears witness that they are liars[/red].

[9:108] [blue]You shall never pray in such a masjid. A masjid that is established on the basis of righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your praying therein. In it, there are people who love to be purified. God loves those who purify themselves[/blue].

[b][i]Please make comment on this[/i][/b].[/quote]
