Among the marvels of modern phone technology is the ability to track missed calls. We do not get a good nights sleep, unless we have returned the calls of those who matter. We don't let any call go unanswered as long as we know that it matters. Don't we? Even in the middle of conversations we excuse ourselves to take another intrusive call. Gone are the days of uninterrupted conversations/meetings. Even with all the warnings to turn off phones, in the middle of prayer one of those "ringtones" shatters your concentration.
But how about the calls of "hay-yaa al-as-salaah and hay-yaa al-al falah" made from the House of our Master - Allah? Those calls are made five times a day and many a times they all go unanswered. We do not respond with the urgency as we do those cell calls!!! Nor do we respect those missed calls. Do they matter? Maybe not today or tomorrow, but surely in the Hereafter. Let us look at ourselves. Can we afford to let these calls of the muezzin be missed, day after day. The call from our Cherisher, Sustainer and the Ultimate Master. Just think about it. Next time one hears this call, just ask yourself how good a nights sleep can I have by missing those calls from the House of Allah. Ringtone for chatter or Azaan that matters!!!
