The Purpose of Mosques

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that mosques should not be used for urinating or relieving oneself, but rather for the remembrance of Allah and reciting the Quran.

We should respect this sacred space by using it only for its intended purpose, which is to remember Allah and recite His words. We can also learn from this hadith that we should always respect places of worship, no matter what religion they belong to, as they are all places where people come together in peace and harmony to remember their Creator.
