Aisha RA, the beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad, said that her husband often reminded the people that God commanded that mosques be built among the houses and that they be kept clean and perfumed.
Whoever builds a mosque seeking the pleasure of God, God builds a similar one for him in paradise.
Whoever builds for the Mighty and Majestic God a mosque, even if it be very small, God builds for him a house in paradise.
When a person goes to the mosques for prayer and the remembrance of God, God, the Most High, greets him joyfully, just as the family of one who is absent greets him with joy when he returns to them.
Once, while they were building a mosque, a companion of Prophet Muhammad saws noticed him carrying a heavy piece of mortar. He offered to carry it but prophet Muhammad saws reminded him that there was no better living then in Paradise and suggested he carry his own piece of mortar for this noble cause.
In the traditions of Prophet Muhammad we can find the story of a woman who cleaned and picked up rubbish in the mosque.
Prophet Muhammad saws did not learn of her death until he did not notice her, so he inquired about her. He said to his companions, “If one of you dies inform me!” He then prayed the funeral prayer for her and said, “I saw her in Paradise! She was rewarded for cleaning the mosque.”
Prophet Muhammad saws also reminded his followers that, “After the believer dies, he is followed by some of his work which also includes a mosque he built.
Mosques are special places filled with blessings and rewards, however, God has conferred a special blessing upon the nation of Muslims, the whole earth has been declared a mosque except graves and washrooms, so when the time for prayer comes and a believer is unable to pray in congregation in a building he may pray wherever he may be.
The mosque is the house of every pious person, and God has granted comfort and mercy for everyone for whom the mosque is his house, and that they will easily traverse the bridge to God’s Paradise
