As the Muslim Prayer involves prostration, hence it is essential that the floor of the mosque be kept absolutely clean. It is, therefore, forbidden to enter the Prayer Hall of the mosque with shoes on. 5. One should not pass in front of a worshipper when he is engaged in Prayer. However, if it becomes necessary to pass in front of the worshipper, one can do so after leaving such a distance in front of the worshipper that the worshipper is not distracted. 6. A mosque is not the property of an individual, so no one should be denied access to it for the purpose of worshipping the One True God. 7. A person should go to the mosque in clean and decent clothes. 8. A worshipper should not come running to the mosque even when the Prayer Service is about to commence. He should proceed calmly and join the service at the stage of his arrival and make up afterwards what he may have missed. 9. As the mosque is meant for Divine worship without any disturbance, no animals may enter it. 85
