This just came to my mind... It is about that day in a mosque... I sat there waiting for the prayer time. And as usual had a small talk with friends who were here for the same purpose, the Magrib or evening prayer... I would come early to the mosque, the reason being that I do not want to rush to be at the place of worship and the second reason is that I want to be able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the space in the mosque... It would be noisy when more people arrive... Being there alone give me that feeling of peace where I would have solace and seek grace from the lord... I love to be there before the others arrive...The atmosphere of peace and tranquility during the time when I am alone without the interferences of other noises either natural or man made is something that I treasured most...Been at peace with myself!! I have been in temples and churches on visits but as yet to be in a synagogue....To me one common factor that these places have is that all these places of worship have that same holy atmosphere...That special feeling of holiness that you could get only in such places...So been in the mosque early is a plus point for me, it give me that special space in time that I just could not get anywhere else...I never like to listen to those rhetoric given by speaker in such place for I believe that only good thoughts and manner should be allowed in such place...Rhetoric by some speakers at time contain thoughts unworthy of such a holy place, thus its pollute and corrupt the peaceful and goodness of the atmosphere.... I believe that only good thoughts should be allowed in such places...Other negative thoughts have no place in such a holy place...For that reason I would not stay to listen to those rhetoric....I am happy of been there just for prayers, for contemplations and a bit of socialization with regular friends... Have a nice day....
