The mosque has a vital and key role in Islaam. Its duty is to educate the Muslims, provide a safe haven for the ones striving in the path of Allah (swt) and to publicly declare that sovereignty is for none but Almighty Allaah (swt).

Throughout history, under the rule of the prestigious Khilaafah system (Islaamic state), the mosque (Masjid) was the headquarters of the Islaamic State. It was a court, hospital, training camp for Mujaahideen, a school, community centre (for Muslims), and most importantly the House of Allaah (Bait-Ullaah).

Since it was the House of Allaah there was no such thing as a Mosque Committee who would dictate to the people how the mosque should be run, who is allowed in and what people are allowed and not allowed to say. Because it is the House of Allaah, only Allaah has the right to decide who should build it, how it should be run and who is allowed to enter.

Allah says in the Qur'an,

 “It is not for the Mushrikoon (Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and other non-Muslims), to maintain the mosques of Allaah (i.e. to pray and worship Allaah therein, to look after their cleanliness and to build it etc.), While they witness disbelief upon themselves. The works of such are in vain and in Fire shall they abide.

The mosques of Allaah shall be maintained only by those who believe in Allaah and the Last Day; perform As-Salaat and give Zakaat and fear none but Allaah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance.” (EMQ at-Tawbah, 9: 17-18)

Therefore, this verse clearly highlights and guides us to the simple fact that ONLY Muslims are allowed to enter the mosque (except if the kaafir has a divine permit from Allaah), and it is only Muslims that are allowed to worship, pray, build and maintain the House of Allaah. If we look to the reality of the so-called mosques in the UK today, hardly any are built by Muslims.

Indeed most mosques are built by non-Muslims, therefore it cannot be considered to be a mosque. Even if it is built by Muslims, if they invite MP’s, PM’s or other Kuffaar to propagate their kufr, it will not be considered a mosque. This is something that all the "mosques" in the UK are doing today. Muslims are called upon to become kaafir by voting for man-made law, or the true ‘Ulamaa (scholars) and du’aat (da’wah carriers) are prevented to enter the mosque or to speak out in the mosque, leaving only corrupted Imaams or scholars left to speak about the affairs of the Muslim Ummah.

In fact, Allaah (swt) clearly says in the Qur’aan:

“And who is worse than those who forbid that Allaah's Name be glorified and mentioned much (i.e. prayers, da’wah, fiqh, Islaamic politics and invocations etc.) in Allaah's mosques and strive for their ruin It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them (Allaah's mosques) except in fear. For them there is disgrace in this world, and they will have a great torment in the Hereafter.” (EMQ al-Baqarah, 2: 114)

This verse was revealed when the Quraysh tried to prevent Muslims from entering the House of Allaah (swt), this clearly shows that it can only by a Mushrik, Munaafiq or a kaafir that would prevent Muslims from coming to the mosque, yet we can see in today’s reality that so-called Muslims are preventing the practicing Muslims from entering to the mosques and speaking about the affairs of the Muslim Ummah by using the alibi that they are extremists or they are "Wahhaabis". These hypocrites prevent Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah (those who follow the Messenger Muhammad (saw) and His companions) from coming to the mosque, yet welcome the kuffaar such as Prince Charles, George Galloway, the Police or other MP’s with open arms, hand-shakes and cups of tea.

All these centres should never be called Masaajid (plural for Masjid) or mosques, but rather it is more appropriate for it to be called Prayer Hall or Community Centre. Muslims should refrain from calling these places mosques or even the House of Allaah, and should not think that by donating money towards them, Allaah will build a house in paradise for them. Allaah (swt) will only do this for those who build a REAL Masjid, where no MP’s are allowed in, no shirk is committed (no calls for voting or obeying the kufr law of the land), and where the ‘Ulamaa of Haq and da’wah carriers are allowed to speak about the affairs of the Muslim Ummah.

All of this does not mean that it is not allowed to pray in these places; rather they are not considered to be the Houses of Allaah, which proclaims sovereignty and supremacy for the Deen of Islaam and Allaah (swt). These halls have become places of fitnah (corruption), calling Muslims to vote, inviting kuffaar MP’s and PM’s as well as lying about Allaah, His Messenger and the Deen of Islaam. It is even considered to be a form of zandaqah (heresy) to call these places Houses of Allaah or Masjid. The reason why these corrupted mosque committees call these places as such, is in order to fool the Muslim community into donating their money towards them so that they can continue creating fitnah and corruption and justify their treachery by using Islaam to cover up their evil actions.

Allaah (swt) says:

“In houses (mosques), which Allaah has ordered to be raised (to be cleaned, and to be honoured), in them His Name is glorified in the mornings and in the afternoons or the evenings.” (EMQ an-Noor, 24: 36)

Only with the re-emergence of the Khilaafah will these so-called mosques be made into real Masaajid, where only Muslims are allowed to enter and feel secure, providing security for the 'Ulamaa and Liberators. Working for the Khilaafah is an obligation upon every Muslim and can only be done by working collectively with those who follow Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah.
