Shukron Ahki,
Rabbana Fee Dunya Hassanatan wa fill Akharati hassanatan, waqina athabu nar!
Heinz:
I will share with you a story you might like that relates to the muslim faith:
Some years ago I was staying in the Sinai desert with bedouins near St.Catherine.
I awoke in the middle of the night with an urge to go outside my little hut.
The night sky was black like silk and the stars shined acrossed the sky like jewels and it felt like I was wrapped in a heavenly blanket.
The mountains around me pulsated a dark purple and blue color and did not seem solid but like living gentle giants.
I sat under a small tree on a bench in quiet meditation with these sacred surroundings when all of a sudden in the distance a prayer call from a mosque started floating through the air and into my being. The prayer touched the depth of my soul and was unlike any I had encountered before.
It filled me with reverence and gratitude and it is a moment I will cherish in my heart for a long time.
With deep humility.
Peace.

My what an enchanting story, Lord Heinz. Certainly there is something special about the way the call to prayer (athan) echo's off the mountains of the desert and enraptures the soul.
I remember the first time I ever heard the call to prayer, and this story is less than remarkable. For I heard it in a very plain mosque, in a very plain American city. It was my first trip to the mosque back in the year 2,000 AD (Shawwal 1420). There was quiet chatter about the mosque, as I imagined every eye were on me, viewing my every mistake (when in reality little attention was being paid to me). When suddenly, at the strike of 1:00 pm, a man got up to the front of the mosque and all things fell silent. In complete and utter seriousness he cried out with the whole of his being, "ALLLLAAAAHHUUUU AKBAR.... ASHADU AN LA ILAHA ILALLAH!!!!).....
...with every fiber in my being I had to restrain myself from breaking out in the most extreme laughter and hilarity! The words sounded so bizzare to me, but yet were said with such a grave seriousness.... I could barely contain myself.
Later I would come to know the meaning of those words and of course perform it many times myself. And it's now funny to look back upon my first experience in hearing them.
