Re: Khule Dil, Khule Darwaze
i dont know about time of Nabi S.A.W. whether masjid was closed or not, because i believe at that time there would have been no door and simply nothing material inside to be protected. but today, Masjid-e-Nabwi is closed off at night, couple of hours after Isha, and opens an hour before Fajar azan, most of the days.
there are all sorts of people, people steal shoes and other valuables from Masjid i’m sure living in Karachi you must have experienced this. Sometimes people go to masjid to sleep/take a nap, which is not very respectful towards masjid, so its better to close the doors i think.
