*     Each moment spent in the masājid during this time counts as worship.

*     Through this, one gains the virtue of loving the masājid and spending as much time as possible within them.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, spending time in the masjid holds immense virtue.

Sayyidunā Abū SaꜤīd al-Khudrī رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrated that the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

"When you see someone frequenting the masjid often, bear witness to his faith because Allah says in Surah At-Tawbah:"

اِنَّمَا یَعْمُرُ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰہِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰہِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ اَقَامَ الصَّلٰوۃَ  وَ اٰتَی الزَّکٰوۃَ

And the Masjids of Allah are only inhabited by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and establish the prayer, and give zakat,^[1]

Under this part of the Hadith (“bear witness to his faith”), Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khān NaꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, explains:

This is because these actions are signs of faith. Note that this testimony is similar to observing someone’s appearance and demeanour, leading us to regard them as a believer and say so. However, this testimony does not imply a definitive judgment.

Further elaborating, the honourable Mufti states, “In the context of maintaining a masjid, activities such as lighting the masjid and decorating it are also included."^[2]
