Friday prayers are at home.
Umrah is canceled.
Moslem Tarawih Ramadhan may also be canceled.
Corona comes with the message that the ritual is fragile..!
That spirit of “protest” in the name of God is not strong enough to put us praying as strong as while on protest
That the symbols and ceremonies are only become merchandise, commodities.
When Corona comes,
You are forced to seek God.
Not in the Basilica of St. Peter.
Not in the Kaaba.
Not in the Church.
Not in the Mosque.
Not on the rostrum of the sermon.
Not in the assembly of the taklim.
Not in Sunday Mass.
Not in Friday prayer.
Must be ...
On your solitude.
In your locked mouth.
On a meaningful silence.
Corona taught you,
God is not in the crowd.
God is not (only) on rituals.
The Lord is on the way of your despair with the diseased.
Corona purifies religion,
That there's nothing left.
Except God himself, hoping help only from God
No more just talking.
No more ceremony in the name of God.
Come, meet and recognize The Lord in the niches of your own soul and conscience.
Find GOD in a shady moment where you are alone with Him.
The Kingdom of The Lord is in you.
The Qalbun of the believer is the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon Him).
The heart of the believer is the house of God.
Let only God be there.
Let only your conscience speak.
Let merchants, realtors, politicians and sellers of religion be marketed by God through this incident.
Hopefully we can learn and take the wisdom of this incident.
Hoping/If you are not one of them, and your heart is the house of God, that is great, May God Bless you.
