WHY GO TO MASJID ???

When the world kicks your
feet out from under you
If you're spiritually alive,
you're going to love this!
If you're spiritually dead, you
won't want to read it. If
you're spiritually curious,
there is still hope! Why Go To
Mosque?
A mosque goer wrote a
letter to the editor of a
newspaper and complained
that it made no sense to go
to mosque every Friday. 'I've
gone for 30 years now,' he
wrote, 'and in that time I
have heard something like
3,000 sermons. But for the
life of me, I can't remember
a single one of them. So, I
think I'm wasting my time
and the Imaams are wasting
theirs by giving sermons at
all.'
This started a real
controversy in the 'Letters to
the Editor' column, much to
the delight of the editor. It
went on for weeks until
someone wrote this
clincher:
'I've been married for 37
years now. In that time my
wife has cooked some
32,000 meals. But, for the
life of me, I cannot recall the
entire menu for a single one
of those meals, But I do
know this... They all
nourished me and gave me
the strength I needed to do
my work. If my wife had not
given me these meals, I
would be physically dead
today. Likewise, if I had not
gone to mosque for
nourishment, I would be
spiritually dead today!'
When you are DOWN to
nothing.... Allah is UP to
something! Faith sees the
invisible, believes the
incredible and receives the
impossible! Thank Allah for
our physical AND our
spiritual nourishment!
All right, now that you're
done reading, send it on! I
think everyone should read
this! 'When Satan is knocking
at your door, simply say,
'Allah, could you get that for
me?'
Note: the world MOSQUE must
be replaced with MASJID.
May Allah Give us Hidaya..
