Did God ban us from going to Mosques in the Quran?

In today's wall to wall sect scene, as a matter of fact, yes. That makes the sectarians claim of getting 27 times more blessings praying in a Mosque a strange claim. On top of that, the often sincere sounding advice to go to your local Mosque for advice is even more baffling.

So what does God says?

And those who take a masjid (for causing) harm and (for) disbelief, and (for) division among the believers, and (as) a station for whoever warred (against) Allah and His Messenger before. And surely they will swear, "Not we wish except the good." But Allah bears witness indeed, they (are) surely liars. (Do) not stand in it ever. A masjid founded on the righteousness from (the) first day (is) more worthy that you stand in it. Within it (are) men who love to purify themselves, and Allah loves the ones who purify themselves. Quran 9:107-108

It is a very sad reality that almost every single mosque standing today is built on sectarian lines (divisions) and God has forbidden us to never set foot in them, ever, since they are a source of divisions. No matter how you look at it, going to mosques is not an option anymore unless everything changes.

"Not we wish except the good."

So why do the mind-messing professionals of these illegal for-profit sects do it? For sure not because they wish good. The following three short verses nails both the method ( conceal any part of the book) and motive (make a little profit) behind the deception. The last verse makes it very clear that they do it in spite of knowing the truth, a true identity of a Kafir.

Those who conceal any part of the book that God has revealed, and thus make a little profit thereby, take nothing but fire as food; and God will not turn to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor nourish them for growth; and their doom will be painful. (174) They are those who bartered away good guidance for error, and pardon for punishment: How great is their striving for the Fire (175) That is because God has revealed the Book containing the truth; but those who are at variance about it have gone astray in their contrariness. (176) Quran 2:174-176

It's worth repeating a few lines from my other post;

But it is ironic to note that the rank and file always had enough material in their respective sect's literature to give them a wake-up call. And yet we see that almost all the members remain hypnotized by the so-called Sheiks and Imams of these sects. Here is something interesting to share;

Allah says:

- ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَـٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابً۬ا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ

"They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks as lords besides Allah……." [At-Taubah, verse 31]

When Adee Ibn Hatim (radi Allahu 'anhu), who used be a Christian, heard this verse, he said, 'O Messenger of Allah. We didn't worship them.' The Messenger of Allah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, 'Did they not make Haraam what Allah made Halaal and you listened to them; and they made Halaal what Allah made Haraam and you followed them? He replied, 'Certainly.'

The Prophet of Allah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, 'THAT was your worship to them.' [At-Tirmidhee (3/247)]
