Hadith Explanation

Visit Masjid before Home

“When the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) returned from his Hajj, he entered Al-Madina and made his camel kneel down at the gate of his Masjid. Then he entered it and prayed two Rakahs in it, then he went to his home.” [Sunan Abu Dawud]

It is a part of the Sunnah that on returning from a journey a man first go to the Masjid and perform two Rakahs before entering his home. We claim to love the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) but do we follow in his footsteps?

Those who love fashion immediately change their wardrobe when they see that the style has changed. Those who are in love with celebrities imitate their mannerisms and their tastes. If you observe people you will be able to tell whom they are most impressed by, for you will see the mark of their behaviour on them.

Don’t we wish to be in the higher levels of Jannah? Then why aren’t we copying the one who’s guaranteed to be there?
