Ibn ‘Umar ra reported Allāh’s Apostle sa as saying:<br />

“Prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a<br />

thousand prayers (observed in other mosques)<br />

besides it, except that of Masjid Al-Harām. 289<br />

It is very clear that whenever the Holy Prophet <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa<br />

spoke of his mosque as the best of the mosques, he only made<br />

one exception, that is, Masjid Al-Harām. This exception does not<br />

invalidate the statement, “My mosque is the best of the<br />

mosques.”<br />

Fifth, Farhan Khan supports his arguments with the<br />

following hadīth:<br />

أاaخاتمaالاباءaوجديaخاتمaاجدaالاباءaوأحقa<br />

ااجد aأن aزار aو د aإہ aارواحل aجد aاحرامa<br />

وجديaوۃaaجديaألaنaأفaۃa<br />

اaواہaإلاaاجدaاحرام 290<br />

‏(‏aادaوابنaاجارa ‏-‏aنaاۃ)‏<br />

I am the best of the prophets, and my Mosque is the<br />

best of the mosques of the prophets, and the most<br />

worth of the mosques <strong>to</strong> be visited and for luggage <strong>to</strong><br />

be tied up are the Masjid Al-Harām and my Mosque<br />
