“[In houses (mosques) which Allaah has ordered to be raised (to be cleaned, and to be honoured), in them His Name is remembered i.e. Adhaan, Iqaamah, Salaah (prayers), invocations, recitation of the Qur’aan. Therein glorify Him (Allaah) in the mornings and in the afternoons or the evenings]” [al-Noor 24:36-37]”
