Allah the Almighty has made mosques guiding beacons for Islamic societies, where all segments of the community gather five times a day, with the general congregation taking place on Fridays. This gathering is often attended even by those who may be absent during the rest of the week, providing an opportunity for people to reflect upon matters of their religion and worldly affairs. Allah the Almighty has endowed mosques with significant rulings that contribute to the refinement of souls and the cultivation of noble moral conduct—both behavioral and outward—which in turn elevates the general level of social etiquette within society.Since its advent, Islam has worked toward refining and disciplining the human being, shaping him into an exemplary creature worthy of fulfilling the role of stewardship (istikhlāf) on earth entrusted to him since his creation. Accordingly, the rulings related to mosques represent practical programs that the Muslim practices daily, reinforcing noble character within the self and refining one’s disposition.
