For most mosques, you remove your shoes before entering. This is because Islamic prayer involves placing the hands and forehead on the floor. Removing the shoes helps to keep the floor clean.

You must cleanse yourself so that you are pure before Allah. You must wash your hands up to your elbows, wash your hair, clean your ears, wash from your ankles up to your knees.

You must not wear any clothes that have urine or fecies stains --- your clothes must be clean, as you are appearing before Allah.

It is then, that you can attend the Mosque.

While our way to the mosque, a Muslim must realise that he is going to stand in person before Almighty Allah. We should put our right foot first into the mosque and pray to Allah in these words: Translation: "O my Allah, open the doors of Your Mercy and blessings upon me. " We should offer Two Rakat Nafl, and sit respectfully, wait for the Imam, and remember Allah Karim. We should offer our prayer behind the Imam. No loud talking. No noise. No discussion, no disturbance.

When a person goes to a musjid, he should enter with his right foot and

say Du`a On Entering Musjid

ALLAHUM-MAFTAHLI ABWABA RAMATIK.

O Allah! Open for me the door of your Mercy.

When a person is inside the musjid, he should remember that he is in the house of Allah SWT, which must be given its due respect. Therefore, he should sit quietly and keep himself busy in salaah, remembrance of Allah I and recitation of the Qur'an. He should avoid raising his voice, indulging in vain talk or argument with others. According to a Hadith, a person who sits in the musjid waiting for the next salaah, is like the one who is performing the salaah.

While leaving the musjid, one should take out the left foot first and say

Du`a For Exiting Musjid:

ALLAHUMMA INNI AS'ALUKA MIN FADLIKA WA RAHMATIK.

O Allah! I beg Thee of Thy bounty, favour & your Mercy.
