<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) Mosques are the dearest places to Allah, for there He is remembered and worshiped, and the worldly and religious interests of the Ummah are served.<br> 2) They warn against places where people are usually inattentive, like the markets, for the devils reside there.<br> 3) The two attributes of love and hate are established for Allah Almighty in the way that befits His perfection. He, exalted be He, loves all that is good and right and hates all that is evil and wrong.
