The Mosque-ing Experience


Hmm........ a little portion of my life which i felt should be shared with every one and use my blog as place of sadqa-e-jariah.


So around a month back,facing numerous problems in my life i didnt feel like going to any one to talk about them,as they were too personal........i satarted gettin depressed about them and had gone in state in which i felt hopless....then suddenly one late evening i heard the Aazan from a mosque that is a bit far away from my home compaired to otherone's...but did decide to go for the Isha prayer...and that idea came from no where just some sort of an inner feeling.

I prayed there that day and felt pretty good too...as i talked to Allah Mian about my problems and asked for solutions,though the problems didnt just snap away from me rather,on my way home and on that 10min walk i stoped thinking about them and felt like i left them back in the mosque.Well on my way out from the mosque i casually saw the namaz timing chart which sort of got saved in my mind......the next morning i got up early and just early enough to go for Fajr.....and i am talking about no alarms set just like that....i woke up saw the time and put my cell down....then it clicked to me that i can make it till namaz if i wished.......so i fought my will of leaving my warm cosy kambal! got up,got dressed and left for namaz,amazingly i made it in time.

From that day till today i have bin going to the Mosque for as many times for the namaz i can,actually its a gud experience and most of all the enviornment is great at the mosque i go to(Askari III mosque).Specially the peace their is priceless,and then sitting there for hardly a few minutes after namaz is done....feels like i am all free of worries....its just a holy experience.

In Karachi most mosques that i have visited dont have a ladies area and so women cannot experience this.I say women should also have a space in the mosque for a daily basis,not only for the Ramadan Tarawi,though it is not compulsary for women to go to the mosque for the five times prayer but still what i experinced at the mosqe was great and wish for more and more people to have that experience.

So try it today,go to a mosque for any prayer time You like and sit there for a moment in peace and get in touch with something one cannot express rather something only one can feel.And from my experience prayer gives u a lot it gives dicipline,courage,honour and most of all Patience.All u need to have is true faith in the ALL MIGHTY and rest all goes so smoothly that u cant even understand how something started and how it ended.Solution to problems which seem impossible to solve come like revelations.

Thats beautiful and very inspiring...I hope this continues...cos I have been in similar situations phase wise which is not where I really want to be at...

Good stuff...the solutions are there only...in the path of Allah...
