Offer 2 Rak’ah upon entering a Mosque

This hadith is about offering two rak'ahs of Nafl prayer before sitting down when entering a mosque. The narrator is Abu Qatada, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He entered the mosque and saw that people were already seated and so he sat with them. The Prophet ﷺ then asked him why he did not offer two rak'ahs before sitting down. He replied that he saw everyone else was already seated and so he followed suit. The Prophet ﷺ then said that when anyone enters the mosque they should not sit until they have offered two rak'ahs first. This hadith teaches us to be mindful when we enter any place of worship and to always remember to pray first before doing anything else as it is an act of obedience towards Allah SWT. It also teaches us to be respectful towards places where we can connect with our Creator by offering prayers in them regularly and humbly without any distractions or disturbances from other activities such as talking or eating etc..
