Masjid (mosque) etiquette and rules
Reiterating the significance of maintaining the mosque’s cleanliness and upkeep, and ensuring it is always prepared to welcome visitors, has been a frequent topic of discussion. However, the observed behaviors indicate a lack of attention to these matters. Parents bring their children to the ISS facilities, yet there seems to be little supervision as the children engage in play without guidance or oversight from adults, resulting in behaviors that do not align with Islamic manners.
Please take a moment to view the attached pictures.
Surprisingly, the library here inexplicably includes a pool table! In all my time here, I have never once witnessed a parent accompanying their children upstairs (which is also not allowed) to ensure their safety, monitor their behavior, or for any other purpose.
This behavior is unacceptable. Despite being in the US for a considerable period, I have never encountered such negligence from, I regret to say, non-Muslim parents.
As the individual who brought this matter to my attention aptly described it: ‘This is not the behavior of civilized, educated, or respectable individuals, let alone those who fear Allah.”
I’ll pause here, as the pictures speak volumes.
