Why don’t you perform Salah with a Jamaat?
This is what happened to a Coppersmith Store owner in Erzurum
In the old Ottoman Empire time, towards the end I think
Yes, there is a Mosque called Coppersmith in Erzurum
Why?
A man came to the store who wanted to buy quite of bit of copper
But right at that time Adhan was being called
The store owner said, I’m sorry but I’m going to the Mosque
The man said: Ya, Mubarak your salah isn’t going to run away.
You can pray it later, it isn’t Friday
I have work to do I can’t wait for you, I’m going to give you a very big order
The coppersmith said, I’m sorry I’m hearing the Adhan and Allah is calling me
I don’t have time to deal with your order right now
But after the performance of Salah, I will be glad to help you
The man said, whatever like there are no other stores
The coppersmith went to the Mosque for prayer
After Salah he opened the door of his store and
In the middle of his store was a big pot of Gold
With that Gold he had that Mosque build
In Erzurum that is where his Mosque is
Now, you want to try it out yourself, you might be eating dust
and then you will come and scoff me for it!
Saying that I deceived you, now I didn’t say that everyone who does
That will receive a pot of gold
If that would be the case everyone here would close their stores
And go to the Mosque to pray and
it would just be like Saudi Arabia here
what I’m saying is that Allah will do it for one person
and then make everyone hear about it
You need to go to the Mosque not for a pot of gold,
But for Allah! What did the man do with the pot of gold?
What did that Ikhlas Man do, he had a Mosque build
Did he eat the money?
He didn’t you see!
