The places that are dearest to Allah are the mosques, and the places that are most hateful to Allah are the markets

The places that are dearest to Allah are the mosques, and the places that are most hateful to Allah are the markets

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The places that are dearest to Allah are the mosques, and the places that are most hateful to Allah are the markets."

[Sahih/Authentic.] [Muslim]

Explanation

This Hadīth shows that the most liked places and the best of them in Allah's sight are the mosques. In the mosques, the prayers are established, Allah is remembered, knowledge is sought, and the people are educated on their religion. In contrast, the most disliked places to Allah are the markets. In the markets, void talk, swearing, deceit, and lying are committed, and people are oblivious of mentioning Allah, the Almighty, there.
