And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people." [Sūrah al-ʾAʿrāf, Verse 80-81]

"If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise (to honour it) as best as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil that I have committed. I acknowledge Your favor upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for surely none can forgive sins but You.

Narrated by Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allāh said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nafl (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection, I will protect him; and I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6502]

The threat was posted as a comment under a post on the mosque's Instagram profile on Monday. It appears to reference the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attack, in which a gunman killed 51 people during Friday afternoon prayers—the deadliest mass shooting in New Zealand’s history. In a statement, NSW Police confirmed that officers from Liverpool City Police Area Command had launched an investigation into the online threat directed at a religious center in Edmondson Park. "The matter was reported to police today," the statement read. "There are no ongoing threats to the community, and initial inquiries indicate the source of the threat was from interstate."
