Question
I find it very disturbing that more and more Musjids are being used for fun, games, cake sales and many other activities which appear to be in total conflict with the purpose and sacred character and spirit of a Musjid and of Islam itself. What does the Shariah say about this new trend which has recently developed?
Answer
About this new, vile, satanic, haraam trend, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Soon there will dawn an age over the people when nothing will remain of Islam but its name; nothing will remain of the Qur'aan but its text. Their Musaajid will be beautiful structures, but devoid of hidaayat (guidance). Their Ulama will be the worst of the people under the canoopy of the sky. From them will fitnah emanate, and the fitnah will rebound on them."
Despite the lamentable state of affairs prevailing at the Musaajid, Rasulullah's predictions have to necessarily materialize. This is what we are witnessing in this age. The evil which is enacted at the Musaajid in the name of the Deen is absolutely ghastly and shocking. The forerunners who have introduced this evil are the ulama-e-soo'. Just recently, an institution associated with a 'khaanqah' initiated one of these shaitaani functions where the following acts of satanism were the order of the day and function: Women painting their faces to become clowns. Jumping castles, kuffaar sports, lewd women selling cakes., and immoral women displaying themselves like prostitutes prowling all over the show. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) himself describes such women who attend public places adorned and decorated like clowns as prostitutes'.
In emulation of all this haraam shaitaaniyat, others among the masses too are organizing similar haraam functions at the Musaajid as the one which took place at the Masjidus Saliheen in Lenasia on 14 September 2013. Every item on the list is haraam and satanic. The Musjid grounds were converted into a filthy haraam bazaar.
Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the worst places on earth are the market places, and the best/holiest places are the Musaajid. But, today those who profess to be Muslims are converting the Musaajid into wretched shaitaani market places.
The kind of flagrant immorality which Muslims, laymen and learned, are promoting publicly bodes ill for the Muslim community. It signals Allah's impending aam (universal) punishment for the community. We read in the papers about the atrocities the kuffaar are committing against Muslims in Burma, Sri Lanka, Kashmir, India and other places such as Bosnia in the recent past where rape was an outstanding feature of the atrocities.. All of this is Allah's punishment for flagrant and rebellious transgression. The same will happen here when the point of no return has been reached, and we are heading for this point swiftly. Dark clouds of impending Athaab are overhanging this errant and arrogant Muslim community of South Africa. Will they wake up only when the axe has fallen?
The Qur'aan states: "And, for the Way of Allah you will find no change." It is Allah's Way to give rope. But the rope will run out. About the running out of the rope, the Qur'aan states: "For every community there is an appointed time. When that appointed time arrives, it will not be delayed nor advanced by a moment." It will overtake the vile, immoral transgressors with devastating swiftness and effect.
Furthermore, the universal punishment of Allah Azza Wa Jal will not be restricted to the perpetrators of transgression. Those men of supposed piety and knowledge will also be overwhelmed by the raging tide of Divine Chastisement. Confirming this fact, the Qur'aan Majeed stated: "Beware of such a punishment which will not be restricted to only the transgressors among you." That is because the holy men and the ulama had acted l i k e " D u m b D e v - ils" (Rasulullah's dscription). Nabi-e-Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "The one who maintains silence regarding the Haqq is a dumb devil." Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not say that he is 'like' a dumb devil. He said that such a person is in fact a dumb devil (Shaitaan Akhras). This is the condition of most Ulama today. Even the sincere ones who understand and acknowledge the haraam perpetrations of the community, are sealing their lips because they do not want to ruffle feathers because ruffling feathers terminates smiles and dries up donations for pet projects. The Deen is being sold down the sewerage drain by all of these Dumb Devils. May Allah Ta'ala have mercy on us.
