the Perfect Birthday day event

you know when you have a congregation, like a prayer meeting, or a deliverance, or a prayer group when people gather together for the purpose of praising God and exalting His name..

Well if i had a wish that is how i would want to spend my birthday....

yes, i know i can do it alone, i dont need people to convene with me to praise the Most Gracious, but i guess it will be fun..

what i remember is the organised prayer groups that my dad would organise when special things happen, like his birthday, rememberance of a loved one bla bla.. whilst i am in favour of the prayer group/praise group, i am not in favour of their actions or words..

basically, the way i see it.. they convene to praise God, but they then ask/solicit fo rmoney from those who attend, by asking them to donate money and they offer prayeer in favour of that person... the money i guess is charity, but i guess is shared amongst the guys..


we call them alfas,

then again they sit and praise God, melodious as it may sound, memory induced as it may be, it is interesting and uplifting to be there, however then comes the part that i dont agree with again,
my view is that they sit and heap praises on prophet mohammed..
for me God is the only one to be praised. Where God is praised, no mention of any of Gods messengers/prophets should come close at all..

if we can remove the praise of prophet/messenger and the collection of money or obligation of people to give them money,, then what you have is a group of people coming together to praise God.. and that is how i would want to spend my day...

you know, i have already dreamt this... when in the middle of the prayer.. i will say Fata aala lahu mulku-ul-haqqu... and we will reply - la ilaha illahuwa rabbil - arshi-il karim.

i state "Most exalted is God, the true Sovereign", and they will reply "there is no other God beside Him, the Posessor of all Authority Most Honorable Lord".

i dont know if you have experienced it before, this prayer congregation, when you all sit and lets say for instance all chant la ilaha illalah - there is no other God but God, or alhamdullilahi- Praise be to God, ,, , subhannaka lahuma - Be you Glorified my God,
its exhilerating...

That is the perfect day event for me...
Is this realisable?
