The only Masjid (Mosque) that was destroyed by Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him), was Masjid e Zarar. Why was a place of worship destroyed by the Prophet
(Peace and Blessings be upon Him) ? Reason is simple as Quran explains the ALLAH's order
Surah Al Taubah verse 107
" And as for those who put up a masjid by way of harming and disbelief, and to disunite the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad S.A.W.) aforetime, they will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good. Allâh bears witness that they are certainly liars. ”

Allâh bears witness that they are certainly liars. ”
Surah Al Taubha verse 108
"(Muhammad P.B.U.H.), never stay in that masjid. The masjid which was established for a pious purpose and before all other masjids is more virtuous for your prayer. In this masjid, there are people who love to be purified. Allâh loves those who purify themselves. ”

The reason that looks evident is "To disunite the believers." So a place of worship that aim to bring differences among muslims and to divide them in groups was destroyed as it was to harm Islam, the ultimate religion. The Non-Muslims and jews of that age tried all possible ways to harm Islam and mulsim with their evil plan. But ALLAH SUBHAAN O TALA is better planner. HE knows what no one knows. And hence the masjid, place of worship destroyed.
Today, we muslims are divided in so many sections. And we are having so many Masjids. Masjid for Sunnis, Shias, Ahl-e-hadees, Ahl-e-sunnas, Barelwis, Deobandis and so many more. Don't these masjids fall in that same category! Creating division among muslims. Weakening the muslims against the enemies! Religion Islam with One Holy Book, Quran, with One and the last Prophet, Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him, with one teaching but now so many diversions and divisions and each group claims to be the right one. Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him), Himself predicted about the division among muslims. . . .

Hadith 1
" The Beloved Messenger of ALLAH, Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be eternally upon Him, said, “The Jews split into 71 groups; 1 group will enter Paradise and 70 will enter Hell. The Christians split into 72 groups; 1 group will enter Paradise and 71 will enter Hell. By Him in Whose Power is the life of Muhammad, without doubt, my Ummah (Nation) will be divided into 73 groups. Only one will enter Paradise and 72 will enter Hell.”
When asked about which group will be on the right path, the Beloved Messenger of Allah replied, “The main body (Jamaat) of the Muslims.”
[Ibn Majah’s Kitab al-Fitan; Hafiz ibn Kathir’s Signs before Day of Judgment, page 14]
Hadith 2
" The Beloved Messenger of ALLAH, Peace and blessings of ALLAH be eternally upon Him, said, “There was disagreement amongst Jews and they split into 72 groups. In exactly the same way, there will be disagreement and divisions in my Ummah (nation). It will split into 73 groups. Except for one of these groups, all the remaining will be thrown into Hell.”
When asked about which group will be on the right path, the Beloved Messenger of ALLAH replied, “The group on the right path, which will enter Paradise, will be the group which follows my Sunnah and this will be the largest group of Muslims.”
[Tirmidhi; Imam Ahmad; Abu Dawud; Mishkat]
We all know concurrence of many events globally are the sign that end of world is near. Things are happening and happening too quickly. Another way to find this out is count the groups of Muslims. If we can count all 73 groups that means time is near.The question arises how can we recognise that one group which will be the righteous and will enter heaven. The answer is simple, the group that follow the Sunnah of Muhammad
(Peace and Blessings be upon Him). So what muslims should do now is to search and make utmost effort to find the truth among all the diversions and rest assure that Heaven will be awarded to them.
May ALLAH the most beneficient and merciful, guide us to find the true essence of Islam, the ulitmate and most peaceful religion of the world.
Aameen
