LI Salaah
Muezzin: ...Allaahu akbar Allaahu akbar.. Laa illaaha IllAllaah.
Dhuhr salaah had just started, and brother kadafi (the imam) was already praying the 4 sunnah.
glo lived just a few houses away from where the azaan came from...
glo: I guess I better set off to learn more about Islam..
*reaches place of prayer* - but she sees two guards in black at the door.
... : "Can we have your identification please? (they say together)
glo: who me? I left it at home
... : What's your LI name? (one of them asks)
glo: Remember me!? its glo...
... : Let me check on my laptop
*View who's Online*
*Both nod heads - "Okay, you can go through.."
glo: But... are you two on the forum? And why are you two wearing that costume?
... : Yeah it's me amani and Arwa, you might have seen us in the
Haramains thread?
glo: :?
Arwa: Doesn't matter..
amani: The reason we cover ourself is because our Creator has ordered us to
(Qur'an 24:31) .. it's even mentioned in the bible -
"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. [Corinthians 11:5]
Arwa: Anyway, you can go through - but don't go in the Brothers Section - you don't have access to that.
As glo passes through the wudhu rooms. She hears a loud blow of the nose.. [PIE]"can someone pass me the pot!!
[/PIE].. [PIE]"its on the tank!!"
[/PIE]
[PIE]
[/PIE]
glo: 
!! I wonder :-\
Meanwhile, sister
Mawaddah is teaching in her small study circle:
Mawaddah: "In this hadith which is narrated by Jabir radhiAllaahu anhu, The Messenger of Allah sal Allaahu alayhi-waSalam said,
"He who says upon hearing the Adhan:
`Allahumma Rabba hadhihid-da`wati-ttammati, was-salatil-qa'imati, ati Muhammadanil-wasilata wal-fadhilata, wab`athu maqaman mahmuda nilladhi wa `adtahu [O Allah, Rubb of this perfect call (Da`wah) and of the established prayer (As-Salat), grant Muhammad the Wasilah and superiority, and raise him up to a praiseworthy position which You have promised him]', it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection.''
So i want all of you to recite this after you hear the adhaan, okay children?
Students: Yes Ms
Mawaddah!! (they say together in a
monotone voice.)
Al-Muminah,
Halima and
Labibah are telling the sisters to stand up in straight lines and in rows.
Halima: Don't you know it's important to straighten yourself when performing salaah?
Al-Muminah: The Messenger of Allaah, sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam said:
"Straighten your rows, or Allah would cause your hearts to differ" (Narrated in Abu Dawud)
Labibah: I've been asked by brother
Far7an to remove any sisters from our section if they take too long to respond. jazak Allaahu khayr.
glo walks into the sisters section..
glo: Hi..?

Ladee Maryam: Are you from Australia?
glo: Nope..
Um Hamzah: You a revert?
glo: No.. but i want to learn about islam..
Muezzin: Allaahu akbar Allaahu akbar...
glo: Why do women pray on the back row?
Mod sisters - Shh.. salaahs going to start - we've warned you already.
kadafi: Allaahu akbar...
*Everything goes silent*
[For anyone who's confused - the imam doesn't read out aloud within the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayer]
Sister
Daffodil's son Abdullah was crying in the salaah, so it was shorter than how brother kadafi intended it to be.. he remembered the hadith:
The Messenger of Allah sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam said,
"I stand up to lead Salat with the intention of prolonging it. Then I hear the crying of an infant and I shorten the Salat lest I should make it burdensome for his mother".
[Al-Bukhari].
kadafi: Asalaamu 'alykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh..
Asalaamu 'alykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh...
The fardh salaah had ended..
Suddenly there was a loud BANG!..
It was the police.
