We read Hadiths of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam about building the mosques yesterday. Among them, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is telling about the great virtues and Thawab of cleaning the mosque. Cleaning the mosque and removing the dirt from there is the dowry of Houris; they call it the payment for the bride.

Just like everything has its principles and ethics, money doesn’t work in paradise. The deeds you do for paradise in this world have value there. The deeds you do in this world are more valuable than silver and gold. In Akhirah, paradise is decorated with jewels, silver, gold, diamonds and emeralds; with all kinds of beautiful and precious things. Money doesn’t work there. And there is no money, because money is a test for people. And this world is the place of tests. You must give that money in this world. The things you do for Allah ﷻ, if you don’t have money, you must serve on the way of Allah ﷻ. In the mosque or outside, wherever it is, in return for service done for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will grant you more ranks and beauties in paradise.

These Hadiths of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, each Hadith has thousands and hundred thousands of wisdoms and meanings. It is not only dowry of Houris. It is mentioned so, but their wisdom is much beyond it. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam spoke the way people understood. And the language scholars, ‘ulama and ‘Awliya understand is different. Shukr to Allah ﷻ for giving us this service. May we attain their Barakah and intercession in Akhirah insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
