Maintain sanctity of mosques
The behaviours of people in mosques are at times not decent. It is not surprising in Bangladesh to see people sitting closely together under ceiling fans although there are plenty of rooms in the preceding rows. Again it is intolerable when you see people sweeping away dust just to make his place cleaner. They hardly care about guys sitting next to them who may get covered in dust. Sometimes devotees in the mosques place their foot-wares in an improper way which can and does make mosques dirty. There are yet others who are oblivious of their stinky socks. Sometimes you overhear people mispronouncing verses and they do it aloud when it is forbidden to do so. Sometimes you see people voluntarily fasten up their lungis every time they start a new portion of salat. What is more astounding is that some of the elderly people take front row sits especially those beside the Imam, most desirable and prestigious ones, unseating others mostly youngsters.
A mosque is a public place and we should be aware of our doings in a mosque. We may be working hard to fulfil the 'Hakkullah' , the obligations towards Allah but we should not forget the 'Hakkul-ebad' the rights of the living. It is our divine duty to act in a fair way which, in all senses, should not bother others.
