 THE INSIDE OF MOSQUE - 10th October, 2021

The attached picture is of the mosque in our area and picture taken on Sunday, 10th October, 2021, after Asr prayer. The experience of offering Salah in mosque is really very peaceful apart from spiritual benefits. We have to enter the mosque barefoot which defines our humble submission to the One and Only Creator of time and universe, Almighty Allah. Salah in mosque is actually easier than offering it alone at home because in case of latter the environment fails to impart the desired motivation apart from many distractions. We can still try to create some environment at home but even then it can be no match for mosque.

We can at least succeed in offering some of our prayers at mosque with congregation if not all on daily basis. During weekdays. office workers could find it almost impossible to visit mosque for prayers. That's why offices have prayer rooms where Salah can be offered in congregation (jamaat).

After prayers in mosque, some people sit and read some portion of Qur'an or indulge in Zikr, all of which is spiritually uplifting. It is an overall soothing experience!

The man from second-right in the above picture, who is reading Qur'an, is a retired banker with 30 years of experience in National Bank of Pakistan. All sorts of men offer prayers regularly in this mosque, general folk, students and old men.

I LOVE MY MOSQUE .
