Non Muslims praying maghrib in Public Park
I wrote this early this morning. I hope inshallah it makes you happy and amazed as I am now and think about it through your beautiful day.
-This is a little bit of what happened yesterday at the Public Iftar in front of the Dallas Museum of Art @Klyde Warren Park, Downton Dallas. Invinting non muslims to break bread with us.
•Subhanallah it was amazing to see the (walk in) non muslims that were seating with us waiting for their promised meal, standing up when we were about to pray. •Not only that but also praying with us making even sujood. Allahuakbar. You can see in the video how a lady and her partner (guy with yellow shirt and lady with big curly orange hair) both joining the first row to pray (obviously not knowing) until a brother told that lady that she needed to be with the sisters.
•As soon as we started to pray even other ladies joined the prayer at thir best of their availability, without hijab or proper clothing... Allahuakbar!
It’s easier to identify these non muslims in this video because they didn’t know what to do...
The other interesting thing I notice while analyzing this video was that there was a country-music band playing live music far but in the same park. Subhanallah when we started the prayer right before the recitation of Al-Fatiha the music stoped. There is no way that music band saw us praying or even notice we were there... can you belive that?
I came early with some volunteers to set up the whole thing and we choose the most far away piece of grass for the same reason. I was so worry about the music thinking about Maghrib or even while braking our fast that it would be loud. I was thinking and thinking and now Just after Fajr while looking at the video again, I realized that Allah swt answered my duah in this strange way. I never realized while I was praying that the music had stopped...What I do remember is that I felt so in peace. Now I know why I felt that way Subhanallah. Even some other people were saying how a great time they had. A sister told me how that was her best iftar ever...
May Allah swt purify always our intentions and used us for the deen. May Allah swt reward you guys.
