A Masjid goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and 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 3,000sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’mwasting my time and the Imaams are wastingtheirs 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 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 Allahand 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 Al Anfal, 8:26]
