Dialogue between two students regarding prayers.
A: Well, now I'd like to take rest for a while. I've had my meal, you know.
B: Ok. You take rest while I fix this picture of a landscape on the wall. Where is the sticky tape?
A: Out there in the drawer.
B: Well, I think this picture needs to be a bit higher up. How do you like it Osama?
A: Lovely! Good, well done. It looks nice up there. Now let us go for prayers to the mosque.
B: I am going to the market. I Shall not be long.
A: No. Prayers first. You hear the moezzin's call for prayers? Don't you?
B: Sure, I do. But I am going out. It's very urgent. My motor bike is out at the gate.
A: There is nothing in the world that ought to be more urgent than a prayer.
B: I don't really understand it. Art is long and life is short. There is so much to do in the world. There is so much fun-games, sports, T. V., cricket, world cups, videos, feature films, fun-fairs, shopping, loitering and break and break and break. Sorry, I am going.
A: Dear me! Who am I to hold you back? Dear as you ate to me, I sincerely wish you pray. Prayers give us peace, freshness, balance, courage, hope, goodness in our short life here on the earth, and eternal goodness the life hereafter.
B: Oh, I am sick of your sermons, Osama!
A: See, Allah has given us eyes, ears, heart, hands, legs and brains. Salman,you see such a lovely world is there around us. Great gifts they are! Are'nt they? We must thank Allah- the Merciful, the Sustainer. As Muslims we pray and this is how we thank Allah.
B: All right. I fear Allah. I love Him, too. I'll go with you.
