Taraweeh

A request to the brothers and sisters with children:

I love children, I really do. Please, please, please brothers and sisters help those of us that want to concentrate on our prayers. Help keep the masjid a clean and happy place; it is Allah's house.

It is hard to concentrate when the children are running in front of me while praying. It's even harder to stay at the masjid when I saw a child empty the contents of his stomach into his mother's hands (and the masjid floor). This is what happens when the children eat alot and then run around. Unfortunately I had to leave because I almost emptied the contents of my stomach too.

It all comes down to respect and common sense. It's Ramadan, the month for good deeds. May Allah guide us and accept our prayers, fasting, and good deeds this month.
