complained that it made no sense to go to masjid 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,
muchto 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 mywife 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 masjid for nourishment, I would be
spiritually dead today!'
SubhanAllahu Ta'ala who says in His Glorious Book:
•►"O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when
he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah
intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be
gathered." [Surah AlAnfal, 8:26]
