Poll Results:Why do you offer Salat(prayers) ?
Monday, January 21, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Long time back on my old blog, I created a poll in which I asked some questions from my blog readers about reasons for offering Prayers/Salat/Namaz. This is a never ending poll so it’s still active. I just visited my old site and checked poll results. Something like following actually appeared.
As I was expecting, majority of people voted for 1st option. Very few dared to vote for 3,4,5 and 6. Only Allah knows how many out of 190 actually lied.
Incase, if you are wondering what were my options, I voted for first Seven options. Obviously I did these things that’s why I asked others. :p Actually I went thru different phases in my life so I covered all of them. Like I got regular to near by masjid at age of 14 when I got a crush for a girl in my mohallah, sounds weired, does it? but it’s true. When I spent further time on earth and got into practical life then initially I offered prayers to show off. I wanted to leave a good impact on my peers. By that time I had quit offering Namaz in masjid regularly and used to offer Friday prayers in masjid only. I also offered prayers to impress my family members. Yes at times I offered Salat in office to kill time since there was nothing to do so offered namaz. Now I think I have reached to the stage where I can stick on option 1 & 7 *smile*
So all those who opted from options 2-5 , a big salute for them since they are pretty honest and Inshallah this honesy would lead them to something better where they would not need to mention these things and would offer prayers for the purpose which was mentioned by Allah. Remember me in prayers
