POM, the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him said Allah Granted him five that were execlusive to him including that Allah Made to him (and of course his Ummah) earth as a place for Sujud (Masjedan) and purified.
Well, well ok hold on for this incident.
I work as a translator/interpreter.
Last March I had an interpretation assignment. Usually these events require large halls (the event organizer usually rents a hall in a 5 star hotel).
So any way to make a long story short, of course me and my colleague sit in the cabin with the machines on. In this day in particular, the organizer didnt find any place else in Cairo to rent but the night club area in the 12 th floor of Cairo Sheraton. When Zohr came on, me and my colleague just headed to where the stage that was covered with a curtain Alhamdulelah. Alhamdulelah, we performed our prayer. Sobhan Allah, that was amazing, she told me after prayer I never dreamed of performing prayer on a stage next to music instruments. Alhamdulelah, we pondered on the situation, I told her Sobhan Allah, this place is unlikely to have anyone making dhikr in it. Allah Willed that even in this place to be remembered not only just remembered by tongue, no but people praying. sobhan Alalh. The best thing is also when I reflect on the Ayah that such spots will testify for us in the Day After Alhamdulelah.
