Toilet Etiquette..in Islam

It's a shame really on how we have not taken care of our toilet within our Masjid. Of all places we have left out and ignored or take lightly the cleanliness of our Masjids' toilet. This could give a wrong perception of Islam whenever a non-muslim happen to use them. We need to tackle this.


"The Pursuit of Cleanliness" by Baba Ali 




Du'a before entering toilet



Du'a after leaving the toilet




The Islamic faith has particular rules regarding personal hygiene when going to the toilet. This code is known as Qadaahul Haajah (Qoda Hajat) and is extremely prescriptive. 


Let's relate to what our brother Baba Ali has said to our Masjids toilet in Brunei. Let's put that in a test shall we? Below are some of the images of some of the toilets in our Masjid.





Thanks for the brother who had sent me this image. I'm not going to say much about this image or from which masjid it's taken from. I'll just leave it as it is.



Went to the toilet at one of the masjid in mmm somewhere during Jummah prayer. The funny thing about this toilet is that you were not allowed to wear any shoes or slippers and yet the floor was not clean. Not at all! So what i did i just used my shoes because i do care more about cleanliness than the already dirty toilet. I wish i could raise a fund raiser somehow to have this fixed. I mean look at the toilet at the hotels in our country! are you saying that those hotels are much more important than the masjid??

Are you saying we have all the money but we ain't got the money to fix our local masjids' toilet?? help me out here!! i think i really should raise a fund raiser. What say you? But before that I need you're support by taking pictures of your local masjid. See whether it's happening at your masjid or not.

Send them to hambaallah@me.com

Jazakallah khairan

Daily Hadith - Supplicating for Deceased

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "When An-Najashi died, the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Pray for forgiveness for him.'" [Jami At-Tirmidhi - sahih hadith]

We learn here that on being informed about someone's death with the utterance of "we belong to Allah/ inna lillah", one should also supplicate for his/her forgiveness, so that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) may forgive us as well.
