Kuwii horena waan cadaabna...Kuwa xigina waanu...

[Dhagax-Tuur]

There was this brother who was praying for the first time at the mosque. He understood the arabic language, thus he understood the meaning of the words when recited in Arabic. But we all understand that there is more background knowledge to the Qur'an, then the surface meaning of the arabic words it is written.

 

The brother went into the mosque, and lined up in the first line of the Salaat-Jamaaca. The Imam usually starts to recite the glorious Qur'an...until it has come to this Ayat....ALLAM NUHLIKIL AWALEEN (which means literally 'We've punished those in the front, in his case meaning those in the first line). So he hears the Ayat and moves back to join the last row. After he joined the last row, the second line of the verse goes: THUMA NUTBICU HUMUL AAKHARIIN (which means and those after will join them, in his case the back row).

 

So the brother quits the prayer thinking that no place is safe from wrath of Allah.

 

Hope that you get the punch line in the joke, if not, leave a comment.

 

 

P.S. No jokes on the Ayatu-Laah intended.
