Ahmed: well, now I’d like to take a rest for a while. I’ve had my meal, you know

Anas: Ok. You take a rest while I fix this picture of the landscape on the wall. Where is the sticky tape?

Ahmed: Out there in the drawer.

Anas: well, I think this picture needs to be a bit higher up. How do you like it Osama?

Ahmed: Lovely! Good, well done. It looks nice up there. Now let us go for prayers at the mosque.

Anas: I am going to the market. I shall not be long

Ahmed: No prayers first. Do you hear the muezzin's call for prayers? Don’t you

Anas: Sure, I do. But I am going out. It’s very urgent. My motorbike is out at the gate.

Ahmed: There is nothing in the world that ought to be more urgent than a prayer.

Anas: I don’t 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.

Ahmed: Dear me! Who am I holding your back? Dear as you are to me, I sincerely wish you to pray. Prayers give us peace, freshness, balance, courage, hope, goodness in our short life here on the earth, and eternal goodness in the life hereafter.

Anas: Oh, I am sick of your sermons, Osama!

Ahmed: See Allah has given us eyes, ears, hearts, hands, legs, and brains. Salman, you see such a lovely world is there around us. Great gifts they are! Aren’t they? We must thank Allah- the Merciful, the Sustainer. As Muslims, we pray, and this is how we thank Allah

Salman: All right. I fear Allah and I love him too. I’ll go with you.
