The Prophet(SAW) said: "There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade: a just ruler; a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; a man whose heart is attached to the Masjid; two men who love each other for Allah's sake, meeting for that and parting upon that; a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position [for illegal intercourse], but he says: 'I fear Allah', a man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity; and a man who remembered Allah in private and so his eyes shed tears."
(Bukhari & Muslim)
In this beautiful Hadeeth, the Prophet(SAW) spoke about small acts of worship which result in such a huge reward: shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His Shade. This may not seem like much at first but then reflect upon the following Hadeeth: "On the Day of Resurrection, the sun would draw so close to the people that there would be left a distance of only one mile. The people will be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to the waist and some would have the bridle of perspiration and, while saying this, the Messenger of Allah put his hand towards his mouth." Narrated by al Miqdaad ibn Aswad and collected in Saheeh Muslim (eng. trans) vol.4, p.1487-8, no. 6852}.
"A man whose heart is attached to the Masjid..." There is great encouragement in the Sunnah for men to pray in the masjid and the reward associated with it is tremendous. Not only does it make the person eligible for Allah’s Shade on the day of Judgement, but, "he does not take a step [towards the Masjid except that because of it, he is raised by one rank and one sin is removed from him. Then when he prays, the Angels do not cease supplicating for him [for] as long as he remains at his place of Prayer [sayings]: O Allah send blessings upon him, O Allah have mercy upon him..." [Bukhari]
Becoming a guardian and adopting your local Masjid can take you towards achieving just this reward. You will be the bridge that connects the masjid to the heart of its community. As a Guardian you will be required to make regular visits to the masjid to collate information and make sure our website is updated with the correct information. As well give the masjid an opportunity to advertise and promote its facilities, classes and receive donations. Most of all as a guardian you will ensure the jamat times are updated encouraging more people to attend the Masjid and ensuring they make it to the jamat on time.
There couldn't be an easier way to bring life back to the masjid and rekindle it in our hearts!.
