The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: “Allah loves the one who loves the Masjid.”^[1]

Allamah Abdul Rauf Munaawi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes: One should have love for the Masjid, make the habit of sitting in the Masjid in order to observe I’tikaaf in the Masjid, pray Salah, perform Zikr of Allah, and learn and teach Shar’i rulings, all for His pleasure. Allah Almighty loves this person to the extent that He grants him a place in the shade of His Mercy and admits him into His protection.^[2]

The Sunnahs and etiquettes of fragrance

Dear Islamic brothers! Here are some Madani peals regarding the Sunnahs and etiquettes of fragrance. Let us listen to two narrations of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم first:

1.   He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: 3 things have been made dear to me in this world of yours: perfume, women, and the coolness of my eyes is in Salah.^[3]

2.   The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: there are 4 things that are from the Sunnah of the Prophets: Nikah, Miswak, modesty and applying perfume.^[4]

*   The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would never reject a gift of perfume.^[5]

*   It is Mustahab [preferable] to apply perfume for the Friday prayer.^[6]
