We also heard all the afternoon sermons, and the coughs and sneezes of everyone within the range of the microphone.mummyjaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439816857061091370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268156244556916801.post-29788627738376328272007-10-18T08:19:00.000+03:002007-10-18T08:19:00.000+03:00AA- Mummyjaan,"it was as though the prayer was tak...AA- Mummyjaan,<BR/><BR/>"it was as though the prayer was taking place in our own house."<BR/><BR/>How very fortunate for you...we're living in a compound and we're lucky just to hear the adhan. :-(Naeem:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15397380149160556040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268156244556916801.post-71760083223159129152007-10-15T18:38:00.000+03:002007-10-15T18:38:00.000+03:00A/a,Gosh, you sure are bringing back memories of m...A/a,<BR/><BR/>Gosh, you sure are bringing back memories of my 10 years in Saudi Arabia. I can nearly imagine myself back there again.<BR/><BR/>The 'raunak' of Ramadhan there was unforgettable. <BR/><BR/>My house was across the street from the Masjid, and we had the echoes of all the 5 daily prayers plus tarawih and qiyam ul layl in our house. Not echoes really, it was as though the prayer was taking place in our own house.<BR/><BR/>Then there was the larger mosque a few streets down which used to be surrounded by traffic jams because people came from far off for the tarawih. The Shaykh who used to lead the tarawih prayers in that mosque was also a respected aalim of the town. His witr prayer would move us all of us in the congregation to tears. <BR/><BR/>Yes, memorable days. Seems like so long ago - and so different to my present life....mummyjaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439816857061091370noreply@blogger.com
