The presence of worshippers in glorifying the mosque could enliven the practice by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and instil a sense of equality among Muslim Ummah in performing prayers and carrying out pious acts, the speaker said.
“Glorifying mosques nationwide is a platform for us to multiply our good deeds and to receive blessings from Allah the Almighty for ourselves, our family and the nation,” he added.
Members of the public can kick-start their daily routine and gain blessings by participating in mass Subuh prayer and to reap the benefits and rewards through performing ‘Wirid’ after every prayer and enrol in religious activities.
