There is a saying in my locality that breaking someone's heart is equivalent to breaking a mosque. Is this an authentic saying in Islam?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, we have a Hadeeth from the Prophet (SAWA) narrated by Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS): Hurting the heart of a believer is worse than breaking down the Ka'bah into rubbles.

Is it true that members of the Ahmadiya community are not allowed to pray in mosques of the other Muslim sects? If so, what is the reason?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Anyone who claims a prophet after the greatest Holy Prophet (SAWA) is
a non-Muslim because his claim contradicts and denies what the Holy
Prophet (SAWA) himself said (No prophet after me) and what the Holy Qur’an clearly mentions
that the Holy Prophet (SAWA) is the last and final Prophet ( ref :
Surah Al Ahzab : Verse 40).

Non-Muslims are not allowed in any mosque.

As a truck driver, when I travel to another location some distance away, do I have to pray Salatul Jum'a? What if the mosque in that location is difficult to find?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. Salatul Jum'a is not obligatory on the traveler.

2. Even if you are not a traveler, but do not know the place of Salatul Jum'a, you just pray Dhuhr prayer as soon as the time of it starts.

3. If Salatul Jum'a is far away from you, it will not be obligatory on you but to pray Dhuhr.

How can one keep their faith strong while living in a country with few or no mosques?
Abbas Di Palma

as salam alaikum

attending mosque are a vital part of Muslim lifestyle and its importance has been stressed in both Qur'an and Sunna. A person who live in a place where there are no mosque should try to attend relatives and friends pious and religious, and if it is not possible he should strive to improve his relation with Allah by all means he has at disposal. Praying five times a day with focus and sincerity, learning the Qur'an and religious knowledge may be helpful factors in this regard. Always keep in contact with good Muslims scholars who may guide you along the path even by phone or email if this is the only option available. Organizing events and projects for non-Muslims is also a good idea while aiming at slowly build a growing local Muslim community. This not only will keep your faith strong insh'Allah but invite other to the path of religion and righteousness.

With prayers for your success.
