Use of Mosques and Masjids for
Different Purposes

In the hadith quoted below, it is revealed as one of the signs of the End Times that mosques and Islamic schools will be made into places used only as social gatherings:
 

The Hour does not come until mosques cease to be places where people pray but become places where people stop by.
(Hadiths related to the End Times, p. 87)

 

 

The Hour does not come until people take credit for mosques
(Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Ibn Majah)
