The question is what if the mosque is built. <br />We turn to the Glorious Qur’an, in which Allah Ta’ala states, “And those who have built a mosque in order to commit mischief and spread infidelity and to cause dissension among Muslims, and as an ambush for him who is already against Allah and His Messenger from before. And they will surely swear that we desired only good. And Allah bears witness that they are certainly liars.” [Surah 9, Verse 107]<br />We know that mosques, too, are not spared by the terrorists and extremists. So those in charge must see to it that there is no excuse based on the above verse of the Holy Quran. <br />Secondly, it is common knowledge that these elements infiltrate into the ranks and files of the Managing Committee and Trustees of the mosques which facilitates the takeover. Based on this modus operandi, many traditional mosques have been taken over by the extremists. So certain safeguards must be ensured to pre-empt such an exercise after the proposed mosque does come up.Nasirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750576678489063933noreply@blogger.com
