Praying in a mosque

I once went to pray in another sect’s mosque. I asked them about the way they pray and I tried to pray like them. I was very nice to them and they were nice to me. However, at the end imam, shb asked me who are you? what do u do? I gave a general answer nothing specific. Then he asked me “Show me your wallet how much money you have” (why we judge people based on their financial status.) I had some 40 rupees in it. Though before imam shb could say anything I showed him my bank cards and the whole congregation smiled. I wasn’t allowed to enter the mosque the next morning. We have become so intolerant that we don’t see people praying in each other’s mosques. We don’t even want to share our beliefs. we should become more tolerant.

میں ایک دفعہ دوسرے فرقے کی مسجد میں نماز پڑھنے گیا۔ میں ان کے ساتھ بہت اچھا تھا اور وہ میرے لیے اچھے تھے۔ البتہ آخر میں امام نے مجھ سے پوچھا کہ تم کون ہو؟ آپ کیا کرتے ہو؟ میں نے عمومی جواب دیا کچھ خاص نہیں۔ پھر اس نے مجھ سے پوچھا “مجھے بتاؤ کہ تمہارے پاس کتنا پیسہ ہے” (ہم لوگوں کو ان کی مالی حیثیت کی بنیاد پر کیوں فیصلہ کرتے ہیں۔) میرے پاس اس میں 40 روپے تھے۔ اگرچہ امام صاحب کچھ کہنے سے پہلے میں نے اسے اپنے بینک کارڈ دکھائے اور پوری جماعت مسکرا دی۔ مجھے اگلی صبح مسجد میں داخل ہونے کی اجازت نہیں تھی۔
