*Masjid or Pocket?*
------------------بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم
The day of Friday is also called: ‘Yawmul Mazid’; the day of extras/increases. 📚(Refer: Zadul Ma’ad, vol. 1 pg.397 and Fathul Bari, before Hadith: 876)
Today been Friday, is a special day for shopping for your Hearafter which begin immediately you are placed in your grave.
My People,
Whether the economy is hard or soft, like we RELENTLESSLY do to where we are residing (our houses), working hard to seeing that the house of Allah (Masjid) is not ignored when it comes to maintenance, is a responsibility of human beings and not that of Allah's Angels. In fact, this effort is a direct instruction from the glorious Qur'an. Yes. In Surah At-Taubah, chapter 9 verse 18, Allah (swt) say:
إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ
"The mosques of Allāh are MAINTAINED by those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day..." 📚At-Taubah 9:18
My people!
It's popularly said *"Action Speak Louder than Words"* . And the Qur'an verse above have proven to us that, without taking care of our Masjid (by giving FISSABILILLAHI frequently), our verbal expression of believing in Allah and the last day will have no basis.
It's good to remember that,
Allah (swt) did not design it that HIS Angels from the sky should descend to do the jobs of masjid maintenance meant for human beings.
Today,
In our houses, we changed this and that because they are spoiled, we buy this and that for the smooth running of the house (despite the hash economy).
It's not only in our houses that caretaking culture is required, but even in the masjid where we worship Allah (swt), maintenance culture is also a necessity.
Therefore,
I remind myself and you to prepare to be dropping something (reasonable) EVERYDAY inside Fissabilillah box in any masjid where we pray REGULARLY especially today (Friday) - for the running of the activities of the masjid & for the propagation of the religion of Allah in general.
We believe this worldly life is a test, hence the reason for so many trials and temptations. And this test include finding ourselves inside bad economy, to see those who will hide under the canopy of hash economy and COMPLETELY abandon act of charity.
