While in Masjid

 

1. One should not raise ones voice.
2. One should not talk of worldly materialistic matters. Talking of worldly affairs destroys one’s rewards, just as flames consume dry wood.
3. One should not pass in front of a person performing Salaat.
4. One should avoid spitting (expectorate) or blowing one’s nose.
5. One should at all times keep the body clean.
6. Keep one’s self-occupied with the remembrance of Allah.
7. If one has lost anything he should not announce it in the Masjid.
8. One should not buy or sell anything.
9. Small children or mad persons should not be brought to the Masjid.
10. Foods with strong smell should not be eaten before coming to the Masjid. Smokers should be mindful of their offensive odour, and giving discomfort to others.
11. Remembrance of Allah (Zikr) and the recital of the Qur’an should be done in such a manner that it does not disturb the others.
12. The fingers should not be cracked.
13. One whose clothing has an offensive smell because of excessive sweating etc. should remove the smell or change the clothing.
14. One should sit respectfully. Legs should not be stretched out.
