I adore the islamic
calling for prayer: الله اكبر الله اكبر .
My personal reasons
are not religious, I admit it. But I like it so much. Wherever I am, especially
now I live in an muslim country.
In spite of “if” I
believe and “what” I believe and “how” I believe, but I love this daily ritual.
And I really feel impressed.
Every Friday so many
million people…
It is very impressive
and affecting, in XXI century that people believe in something. When all around
us break down, so many millions believe. They have a belief. I say again, I
don’t say that I agree with this or not. I don’t say I like it or not.
Coming here I had been
obliged to left behind many stereotypes, as a think my Egyptian friends did,
and I am very happy for this.
I cannot stand the
model “galabya=terrorist, arab language=fool”. The trick is too old and old
fashioned that even Americans don’t believe it anymore.
My friends here taught me many things. During my life maybe I forgot
some of them, maybe I have never learn them.
This is the benefit of
living in different countries and knowing different mentalities and ways of
living.
I am very grateful to
my muslim friends.
Maybe this is the
reason that during Ramadan, when I hear the evening calling, this one that
breaks the fast, I feel my eyes fool of tears and I say to myself: “now million
of people drink water and after some minutes they will eat. Happy that one more
day they fulfill the orders of their belief”.
Ramadan Kareem (رمضان كريم),
dear friends!
