Mosque Etiquette

**Nur-ud-Dean** · 11-04-2009

I want to compile some advice for new Muslims on masjid etiquette. There are lots of rules and practices that we take for granted that a first-timer will not know, and being informed of them will make them much more comfortable when they first start attending. I'm thinking of things like not walking in front of those who are praying, or talking during a khutba, not wearing shoes, keeping the Qur'an off the ground, etc etc.

If you can support your 'rule' with an explanation of some sort of reason/evidence that would be even better, as there are many things that I don't know the reason for!

If there's something you aren't sure about, ask here and we'll try to cover that too.

All help and advice gratefully received, may Allah reward you.

JazakAllah khair brother for the reminder

I listened to a lecture for Sheikh Khalid Yasin few days ago talking about the manners that Muslims should hold when they are in mosque. He tackled a very important issue regard the need to keep the mosque always clean and tidy.

I think people should be more careful about that thing as well

Thanks for the file, Danah, it was interesting to listen to. I have never heard him speak before - he is a skilled orator.

I have finally written this guide on masjid etiquette - please visit www.NewMuslimDhikr.co.uk to read. If I have made any mistakes, or missed out something important, please let me know and I will amend it.
