108b.
A place of worship which was found on piety from the first day is more worthy
that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein. Wherein are men who like to
remain purified and clean. Allah loveth those who are clean and pure.

Commentary
Messenger of Allah
Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was
prohibited from standing to pray in Masjid Zaraar which was
built as a challenge to old Masjid Qubaa; and the ill-will of those
people has been described clearly who constructed new masjid; that
it has been built for the purpose that they may enforce the infidelity against
Islam. And by creating discord among the Muslims, they should produce at least
two groups for the present. In future, an opportunity will be available to
spread more dissensions.
It has been described in this
verse that which Masaajid (Mosques) are suitable for standing
to pray. Those Masaajid which do not fulfill the standard
mentioned in this verse, are not worthy that Muhammad, the Messenger of God
Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and the
Muslims should stand into them to pray.
It is commanded that the Masaajid which
have been built with sincerity and good-will from the beginning, only those are
worthy for standing to pray. Such Masaajid were two only at
that time – Masjid Nabvi (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii
Wasallam) and old Masjid Qubaa. There are such people in
these Masaajid whose hearts are pure and clean from
infidelity, hypocrisy and ill-will. And they keep their appearance also clean
and pure according to rule. Allah Almighty likes such people.
It is known from this illustration
that purpose of constructing any Masjid should be for pure
worship of Allah Almighty. Building of a Masjid for support
and help of any particular group or sect is not suitable, because
misunderstanding and dissension will grow among the Muslims by doing so, and
instead of worshiping Allah Almighty sincerely, it will be used for making
plots to develop and support own sect.
Standing to pray in such Masjid;
supports those people who create any sect. consequently the Muslims will divide
and there will be many sects. It is such a thing; from which Islam has
forbidden severely. Being stubborn, a man can commit; whatever he wishes. There
is an afraid in it that such individual may adopt infidelity to humiliate
others (Let us flee to Allah). Sorry to say that nowadays, signs of hypocrisy
are being observed openly. About the infidelity; it is that; we should be
careful from saying someone “Infidel”, otherwise its symptoms are very clear.
