what i try to figure out is everytime they start these lecture they say we should thank Allah for give us the oppurtunity to read salaat with jamaat..i keep finding a problem with this statement as SALAAT is fard, how can you say thanks for something you have to do… i can accept the fact thanks Allah for making us muslim but not statement above.. its like almost telling your children thank you for eating when they were extremely hungry
Statements of gratitude are laudable.Look hoe many are in the locality and how many come to the Masjid.
