DAY 110 Partners in a Reward This Saturday, Anas went to the Suleymaniye Mosque with his grandfather. They looked at the Istanbul scenery from the mosque’s courtyard. Then they went into the mosque to wait for the midafternoon prayer time. The place was crowded with people. They sat down. A man was giving a speech to a small crowd. He was older than Anas’ grandfather. Anas and his grandfather got closer and listened too. Anas liked the man’s nice talk very much. He was speaking in a soft, quiet voice. Then, the adhan was called. The old man told them, “The Prophet Muhammad said: Those who say 'Aameen' are partners with those who pray. Now let’s offer a good prayer. While the adhan is being recited, prayers won’t be rejected.” He said a short but good prayer. Anas and his grandfather also said 'Aameen' to this prayer and became partners in this reward.
