Unacceptable behaviours

When his dear mother departs for the annual Hajj pilgrimage, how can a young son like him cope with the pain of being separated from her? To bid her farewell, he went with her up to the  far-off Hajj House. At that particular time, he appeared quite confident and woke up early in the hours, before the morning but after leaving the location, he felt a little depressed and a bit more uneasy.  Wonderfully, his two elder sisters did not appear to realise similar feelings. They have their own busy schedules. They'd better choose to sleep after saying goodbye to her. They are indeed more practical and materialistic. It felt distinctly more like a worldly situation, unlike anything else, most often realised at such a special time.  It is rooted in killing our peculiarities that coincide with our aesthetic and the most popular worldly strategic styles.  But that does not mean there are easy ways to track the peculiarities of daily routines or rotations for a constant heat of...

Offering Taraweeh at suitable spot


 


Ramadan is indeed a month of prayer. It is in this significant month that the devout offer twenty rakats of extra prayer after the compulsory Isha prayer. It is far better to pray extra rakats of Taraweeh with the congregation (Imam). 

If there is space in the mosque or a facility is found to offer the prayer in an airy space, it is permissible to pray at the more suitable place. There is nothing wrong in it. Though some raise questions at it.

Then how could it be quickly objected that if one stands amidst cool air, the prayer will not be at all completed in complete essence? 

Undeniably, the acceptance of the important prayer solely lies in the hands of the Most Benevolent Allah. It is not proper for a common devotee to raise a straight question about the selection of space in a big or small mosque. 

What is precisely wrong if the person tries to offer prayers in a more airy space? How many of us could try to oppose it ardently? The person offering prayer needs a more comfortable or relaxed space. 

Standing in an easy position provides full attention to the extra prayer indeed. The total concentration in the prayer can only be developed if there is no immediate fuss around the selected space for the prayer in the not-so-ventilated mosque. 

It was quite mirthful that we spent just a few hours completing the extra prayers and yet had seldom felt good at the prayer seeker praying conveniently at the given time. 

Who takes care of the prayer since it starts exactly and in the manner we ought to do it? Now, who does not wish to offer the prayer for the rest of his ordained life?
