Pilgrims' baggage returns finally

The feeling of satisfaction was writ large upon the withered faces of all those who were bemoaning their lost luggage after the return journey from Jeddah.  They found themselves quite hopeless, but the sudden good news about the arrival of the baggage had brightened their withered faces. They were so happy after procuring their costly luggage. It was like a little miracle for all of them.  They were so overjoyed to see their boxes that they began to say kind words with all their optimism. It was a satisfactory moment of more surprising relief to all of them. What was not expected turned out to be pleasing to all those people after bringing their baggage. Much pessimistic speculation has surrounded them, for they were not certain about securing their luggage. While their hopes were not wholly lost, they were awaiting and were even hopeful. They definitely maintained their optimistic cool. Will we be able to see our items again? They were uttering such words, though they were q...

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?
