Faithfuls surge at mosques

  Allama Iqbal writes: Masjide marsia khwan hein ki namazi na rahey. (Mosques bemoan the dearth of prayer seekers). However, the holy month of Ramadan erases this specific pain when the devouts are flocking to the mosques in large numbers during these very auspicious fasting days.  This holy month of Ramzan looks differently following the sudden increase in the number of faithful attending daily prayers. Plenty of prayer seekers flock the mosques five times a single day. This remarks aura of Ramadan. Every mosque, small or large, remains amply crowded these very significant days. It was just yesterday, during the Asr prayer, the entire mosque was packed from top to the first floor.  The month of Ramzan inspires us to bow down before Almighty to seek either blessings or bounties.

This mosque exists on the first floor. It does not have a ground floor. Every mosque has some uniqueness. This architectural quality remains a good part of this upper-storey mosque.

Before reaching the nearby mosque, one individual very confidently stated that he was going to another big mosque to offer the first Friday afternoon prayer. He even added that by praying at the larger mosque, he would receive more spiritual blessings. 

His clue remained that a large gathering invites sufficient blessings of the Almighty, so he was heading to the big mosque. 

This statement appeared just in reverse to the fact that Muslims have been advised to attend nearby mosques to inhabit them in every feasible manner.
