I found this post in one of blogs that I visits, I found that some of the point that the article mention in the post true so I wanted to share it with others.
Did it happen to you?
1- You are in the bathroom, you are just about to turn on the water faucett on to do you whudo2, and the lady next to you drops everything and dedicated the next 5 minutes of her life to watch how you do your whudu2… very very closely! Mind your own business la etkhozrene etkharbe6enee!!! LEGAFA!
2- You are done with whudu, you head to napkins dispenser to
grab some napkins… the poor cleaning lady runs and grabs them on your behalf, handing them to you. I do appreciate the gesture i really do… but i always squirm because she must have just cleaned the bathrooms or the floors… germs every where… please let me get my own napkins please?! Bs takser kha6ry ma aredha… i just try to race her to the napkins
3-You find your self a secluded spot in the furtherest corner of the prayer room o you start to pray. 2 seconds later you will find another woman who decides to leave the entire prayer room with plenty of empty spaces and come stand by your side almost hugging you… esh hal lazga wakhray!!! Khalesaw el amaken?
4- The classic: A woman must always forget her mobile phone on and a dance tune will ring out while every one pray. But whomever is calling doesn’t get it the fact that the call was unanswered, noooo, they call again and again and again…. Ever heard of a missed call before?!
5- It’s prayer time, you head into the prayer room, and you cannot pass from the mall door through the corridor… why? Every single woman is rooted at the mirror by the entrance checking her reflection. Excuse me do you think you will notice a difference before and after prayers? Noor el eman perhaps? MOVE!
5- So you have your precious kids and your maids with you… the maids are holding onto the kids… why do you clog the entrance giving instructions to your maids while your kids twist and scream reaching out for you? Can’t you keep them outside with their maids… the place is crowded already! It won’t make a difference to them anyways!
6- Ah the woman who is breast feeding. It’s prayers time, she barges in with the baby, get the boob out in front of all of us trying to pray, and the baby starts to feed… of course the baby is not always in the mood to feed so she has to coo and sing while we are trying to pray! Go home! Use a pump & a bottle! Use the prayer room when it’s not prayer times! At least be discreet and do it silently!
7- If you are at the airport, and you happen to run into a group of women going to 3omra, brace yourself for them fighting over whether or not to pray jam3 o qa9er or not, and there would be shouting and stop your prayers involved. For gods sake check your religious facts BEFORE coming inside the prayer room! urrgh!
8- Ah so now you and your friend are done praying… instead of sitting in your place o saying some more prayers, you turn to each other, relax on the floor, and yap and gossip?! Aren’t there people trying to pray and can’t find a spot? Aren’t there people trying to concentrate around you? Why are you so selfish! Pray and GET OUT SILENTLY
9- Same thing goes for you the important woman who just can’t wait two minutes to get out before getting her calls… we don’t care if Mary burned the daal maraq or Babo had a puncture and can’t deliver your dress to el khaya6 or if your best friend saw 7amat.ha bel soog o lafat wayeha ma salemat 3leha… for gods sake finish praying and take your calls OUTSIDE!
10- We know you’ve been shopping very hard. We know you have no where to put your bags while you pray. You have an excuse. But what we don’t get is why when you are done praying you won’t go out and let other pray? No, being busy opening your shopping bags and getting out the items is not an excuse. It’s qellat adab to be frank. Do it outside and let us pray in peace!
Shino ele ye6aferkom when you are trying to pray outside your house?
