They take their lives into their place of worship and bring their worship into their homes.I love this quote. To me this is what worship, a life of commitment, is all about. The description is fuller than this:
Free of statues and with rugs instead of pews, I saw them [mosques] rather like a big sitting room where children play, women feed their families pitta bread and milk and grandmothers sit and read the Koran in wheelchairs. They take their lives into their place of worship and bring their worship into their homes.
As a woman I find this description attractive and heartwarming. It is from an article by Lauren Booth describing her journey to Islam. Thank you Steve Hayes on Khanya for drawing my attention to it.
