Time to Show Mosque Is Our Heart and Soul: Quran Expert
Ali Akbar Hanifi said in a message that mosques burned in the riots can be revived adding that now is the time to show that “the mosque is our heart and soul.”
“During the reign of Abdullah bin Zubair in Mecca, the Kaaba was also burned down on the orders of Yazid bin Muawiyah. However, the city of Mecca and the Qibla of Muslims (was rebuilt and) continues to stand. The house of Fatima Zahra (SA) was burned down, but the name of Ahl-ul-Bayt and the path of Ahl-ul-Bayt remain,” he wrote in his message.

“A burned mosque can be rebuilt, and when you rebuild it, you should increase your activities in it, meaning now is an opportunity for us to show that the mosque is our heart and soul,” he added.
“A believer stays in the mosque like a fish in the sea, the mosque is the house of the believer, the mosque is our everything, our sanctuary. Therefore, after this incident and insults, all our youth, all the people, must know what blood has been shed and what assets have been burned to protect the mosque. People should appreciate the mosques in this way by attending congregational prayers and mosque programs. Whoever is upset by this incident, should increase their presence in mosques.”
