Prayer, Fasting and a Sturdy Ladder to Climb the Roof [Quote - 265]

Published Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book III (201-300)

"What many people may not realize about Islam is that the Law of Gravity is as Islamic as Fasting and Prayers – what is called Siyaam and Salaah or Roza and Namaz. And having a safe, sturdy and secure ladder as a requirement of climbing an otherwise inaccessible roof may be as much a part of Islamic life as Ablution or Wudu is to Prayers or Salaah. For all those used to various forms and brands of Snake Oil in the name of Islam, and in the name of “religion” in general, how does this sound as a core insight into the spirit and true teachings of Islam?" (Dr. Pasha)
