UPDATED CATEGORIES OF WORSHIPERS FOUND DURING TAROWIYY PRAYER (AASAMU).


1. The Ceremonial Muslims: These are Muslims found in the Mosque during only Islamic festive period. They purchase new Rosary, Quran (though they are not proficient in reading it), caps and Jalab (Islamic wear) only to be identified as Muslims in their community and place of works. They are only found in the Mosque in the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, and the last day of Ramadan. This is not good, try and adjust!

2. The Lazy Ones: With time, those in the first category graduate to this class. Since they are not used to the system before, they make complain and hiss when their Imam is praying especially if he recites long Surah. To them, Suratul l Kaothar is too long, if you say this Surah is long, tell us which are short. Lazy! They only want Imam to finish the whole 11 Rakahs including Solatul Ishai in 5 minutes. Impossible! They are in turns lazy to themselves too. Refrain!

3. The Late-comer: Those that will never meet Solatul Ishai in congregation. They do this intentionally. They come after Solat Ishai with their co-latecomers to make their own congregation and thus have their own Imam. When Tarawiyy prayer is ongoing, you will see them observing their own Ishai. Stop coming late to the mosque, it is a bad attitudes!

4. The Glutton: These are those that almost eat all the kinds of food available during Iftor. They mix any food available to them together. Rice with Pap, Gaari with orange, Ahlim with Pasta, Beans and Kulikuli, Fura with Nunun, Tuwo with Sharwama. Chai! You notice them easily because they will renew their ablution every 5 minutes. You will not even pray they stay beside you for they will surely pollute the air. My brother, eat moderately!

5. The PRO: They are those that remind people of their already scheduled innovated Nawaafil every night. Most worshipers are attentive and look at them to give order of what they will observe the following night. Their usual mode of reminder is ‘Nafila Oru to ni …. (Tonight's Nafila is…)’. Egbon, leave them alone! let them perform the number of Rakkahs that are convenient for them in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet. Stop giving the order because it is not known practice from our pious predecessors. It is an innovation(Bid'ha), desist!

6. The BF or GF searcher: These are mainly bachelors/spinsters. They come to observe Tarowiyy prayer mainly because of their boyfriend and girlfriend (as the case may be). Those in this categories say their Aameen differently and loudly after Ummu-l-kitab (Suratul fathiah) recitation as a signal to their boy/girlfriend they are around. This is called riyau (eye-service) and may not earn you any reward. So be sincere, marry and repent today!

7. The Bloggers: These are the likes of lalasticlala, seun, sissie, mukina2 and others like them. You see them with their phones and chargers to take the advantage of the mosque’s power generator. You see them after each unit of Solat checking for the post to place at FP or Whatsapp updates. Fear Allah and leave your phone at home till after Solat !

8. The Mouth Stinkers: These and those in category 4 are like `5 and 6`, they are more or less the same thing. After they have enjoyed all those foods alone at home, you close your nose every time because their mouth stinks anytime they yawn or talk to you. You easily conclude you have comprehended what they mean even if you do not understand. My friend, imbibe the Sunnah of Prophet by using Siwaak (chewing stick) upon every ablution to reduce the odor. Doing so, will earn you reward too.

9. The Landlord or landlady: Majority in this category are the Old ones. You dare not sit at where they claim. If you sit there, they will tell you the history of how your father woos your mother and how they gave birth to you including the amount of dowry paid when they married. With due respect sirs and mas, every angle in the mosque belongs to all worshipers. Thanks for your understanding!

10. The Pious Ones: These are moderate, true and sincere Muslims (worshipers). They follow the steps of the Prophet and our pious predecessors in all what they do. You will always meet and leave them in the mosque. They complete all their Solat (prayer) with the Imaam, you even wonder whether they live in the mosque. They use all their time judiciously to recite Quran, say adhkar and make other Ibaadat that can fetch them rewards during and after Ramadan. These are those we should envy. Let us all try to be one. Let us make use judicious of this month of blessing.

Allaahu musta'an!! Op is very very correct....May Allaah rectify us, accept our ibaadah and grant us goodness In this dunya Wal akhirah

Nos. 1 & 2 usually flee from Tarawiy prayers before Ramadan splits into two. People that are not used to regular solat won't find it easy doing 10 rakats at a go plus an additional 3 for witri apart from Ishai. May Allah use this Ramadan to pull the lax Muslims closer to him and increase their Eeman. Ramadan Kareem

You must have had an encounter with a 'spiritual husband' for you to deduce if someone has a 'spiritual wife'


Anyways, how did you go about it? Hope he never impregnated you? If he did, what did you give birth to? Hope it is not something we can be calling Spiderman or Falcon? Or even Lizard man
