Of A Man and his Religious Turban

Of A man and His Religious Turban.

When I was in my home country 3 weeks ago, I went to the Friday prayer. I was excited to go since I had been away from home for almost 3 years. The mosque was huge and beautiful, with many Islamic Calligraphies. I sat outside because I came late, however the weather was beautiful, the Friday speech [5o6bah] started, and as soon as it started I got familiar with the voice of the speecher! He was the same one he used to speech 3 years ago with his boring voice tones. I said to myself, let me wait he might say something interesting, I daydreamed off and on through the speech, I might have committed sins or maybe my prayers weren't accepted by God, but I had no choice there was no way for me to pay attention to a speech that I had heard many times 3 years ago and now I expected something new but I was disappointed from hearing the same old dusty words praising God and reciting Prophet's sayings - hadith - so unrealistic speeches so far from reality and what people really want to hear to get inspired. The speech finished, I left the mosque. I went to the grocery store as all the natives do after the prayer to buy Mountain Dew or a Juice for the sake of being healthy! I asked my father "Why do you go to the same mosque if the speech remains almost the same?" He said "Almost Everywhere, They are all the same". Then I said to myself, well then maybe I should watch the speech on TV, or hear it on the Radio, then go to pray. It's really sad to see a huge mosque -with beautiful designs, which so much money was spent on to build, - like a fancy Chinese porcelain vase that's empty of water from inside and can't help thirsty people. I rather have a mosque built in clay, and tree branches in the middle of the desert but with a good wise talker who can inspire people to be better society. I see our mosques are built as a civil decoration by the highways not to attract people to pray, but to attract their eyes to see the outside and inside decorations and ignore what's inside of lost faith and a weak speecher. Only few who can give a speech without looking at their already-written speech on a paper sheet. It's a shame to look at a religious man- who can't even give a proper speech on Friday- with his Islamic traditional cloth, which have become a representation of nothing of wisdom or religious rights or a closer step to heaven, but a big sign saying "Hey look at me I've become a religious cleric I can advice you to heaven"


Good night Dear readers.
