Sunan Ibn Majah 740 (Book 4, Hadith 6) #30092
Building Mosques High is Unacceptable

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against building mosques too high, as the Jews and Christians had done with their synagogues and churches.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah said: "I see you building your mosque high after I am gone, just as the Jews built their synagogues high and the Christians built their churches high".
حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْبَجَلِيُّ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ أَرَاكُمْ سَتُشَرِّفُونَ مَسَاجِدَكُمْ بَعْدِي كَمَا شَرَّفَتِ الْيَهُودُ كَنَائِسَهَا وَكَمَا شَرَّفَتِ النَّصَارَى بِيَعَهَا

This hadith teaches us to be humble in our worship, not to show off or be boastful about our religious buildings or practices. We should focus on worshipping Allah sincerely without any pride or arrogance. We should also remember that all religions are equal in the eyes of Allah; no one religion is better than another because they all come from Him.
