Prof. Dr. Nasoha Saabin

What action do we have to do in order to make our Mosque in our locality becomes like the Prophet’s Mosque in the time of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w? The Mosque in our locality will not become like the Mosque of the Prophet in the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w unless we decide to make the work of the Prophet s.a.w. as our work. We must decide to do the work of the Prophet s.a.w like what the Prophet did and we must decide to continue doing the work of Prophet at all circumstances and we will only stop doing the work of Prophet on the day we die. When we have decided to do the work of Prophet, we must decide to give times to the Mosque, the minimum two hours and thirty minutes in a day. One hour we should allocate to the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims, another hour allocated to performing solat with congregation in the Mosque and thirty minutes allocated to the amal of learning and teaching about the orders of Allah in the Mosque. Once we have decided to do the work of the Prophet like the Prophet did, then the help of Allah is already with us. Continue reading →

When the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w reached Quba on his historic journey to Medina, he stopped for some days in Quba. During the few days he was in Quba the Prophet s.a.w built a Mosque and when he reached Medina, among the things that he did, he first built a Mosque which was later named as the Prophet’s Mosque. Prophet s.a.w bought the lands from two orphans and together with the Sahabah, the Prophet s.a.w built the Mosque. The Mosque was a simple Mosque with the pillars of the Mosque was made from the trunks of the date trees and the roofs were made from date leaves. Although the Mosque was simple but it was full of activities, twenty four hours daily. We have to make the activities in our Mosques as similar to the activities of the Prophet’s Mosque at the time of the Prophet s.a.w. The activities that were carried out in the Prophet’s Mosque have to be followed by Muslims until doomsday. The actions of the Prophet s.a.w have clearly indicated to us that the activities that are carried out in the Mosque are more important than the building of the Mosque. The building is like the body but the activities of the Mosque are like the soul and the mind of the body. Without the correct activities carried out in the Mosque, the Mosque will be just like a body without soul and mind. In other words the Mosque is like a dead body. What is important is the soul of the Mosque, which is the activities that are carried out in the Mosque, such as the activities carried out at the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Continue reading →

A must read article by all Muslims in Malaysia

Do all Muslims know the function of Mosque? Why do we build our Mosques and why Mosques are so important to the lives of Muslims? Mosques are centers of all activities of a Muslims community. Every Muslim community must have a Mosque and all the activities of every individual Muslims in the locality centered in the Mosque. Mosque acts as the place upon which the minds, beliefs and actions of every individual Muslim in the locality be made correct. When the minds, beliefs and actions of every individual Muslim in the locality are correct then the environment is also correct and it would be like the environment at the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. When the environment of the locality is like the environment at the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w then the practice of the complete orders of Allah will become easy to everyone in the locality. Everyone, including children in the locality will find it easy to practice all the orders of Allah and non-Muslims who live in the locality will be easily affected by the work of calling them to recite the Kalimah. At that time, non-Muslims will enter Islam by groups. Continue reading →

Mosque is the center of activities of Muslims and all Muslims must have connection with the mosque. As a Muslim, we should try to follow the ways of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and similarly our Mosque activities should be like the activities of the Mosque of the Prophet at the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. The heart of our communities is the Mosque and what the Mosque’s activities are will determine the condition of our communities.

Mosque is the center of dakwah to non-Muslims, center of reminding Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. It is also the center of learning and teaching Muslims about the orders of Allah and a center of worship. It is also an administrative center as well as the social center for the communities that live in the locality of the Mosque. Mosque must take the responsibilities to administer the affairs of Muslims as well as the non-Muslims in the locality. In order to enable the Mosques to administer the affairs of all the people in the locality, every Mosque must have all the important particulars of every individual in the locality that includes age, marital status, the level of education achieved and the expertise owned by each individual in the locality. In this way, every Mosque will have the information of each individual in the locality and the Ministry of Mosque will have the information of each individual in Malaysia. In this way all the information of everyone who is the citizen of Malaysia and live in Malaysia are within the knowledge of the Malaysian government. With this data, the government can have better utilization of human resources and better plan on human and physical development of the country. Continue reading →

Mosque should become the center of the work of dakwah to non-Muslims and center of the work of reminding Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Mosque is also the center of learning and teaching about the orders of Allah, the center of worship and Mosque should act as the social and administrative center of the community. Nowadays we have built many Mosques and we have spent a lot of money building and maintaining our Mosque. We have built many beautiful Mosques and I think some of our Mosques are among the most modern and most beautiful in the world. We are not to regret, having built such beautiful and modern Mosques. We should think positive and now we should make full use of all our Mosques, as it was used at the time of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. We should not underutilize our Mosque that cost us millions of ringgit and to let it remains empty most of the time. We have used the public money to build the Mosque and the Mosque in return should bring benefit to the public.
