Call and Action of our Travel Companion

At home, whenever we would observe the Imam do something, we would try and copy that action. We would always try to be like the Imam. He was a role model for us in terms of training and education. Whenever he would tell us not to do something, we would notice that he would also not do that thing. We would also therefore not do that thing.

When he would give us advice on prayers, he himself half an hour before the midday prayers would perform his wudu’ (ablution) and busy himself in supplications. This had a great effect on us. During winter, on mornings that I would have to get up in order to do wudu’, Imam would bring me some warm water and would say: Do your wudu’ with this warm water.
