Encounter on friday!

IT's Friday, dated 10 March 2006. The hour now is 14:38.
I am now in my friend's apartement. we just arrived from the grand mosque of the university in which we performed the weekly friday prayer.
It was refreshing. I feel like a brand new man. I know what it is that makes me feel this way, perhaps, so do you. I saw a beautifull incident in the mosque.
I was sitting down, just finished my mosque-greeting prayer, waiting for the prayer's speaker to mount the stage and start preaching. There was a man infront of me. A middle aged chap. There was a gray-hair, bit old man to his left, and a young lad to his right. The man, of whom i speak, was saying his prayers, he just finished, and then, he suddenly turns to his right, looks at the other man, smiles, and extends his hands, greeting him. The old man, was pleased and in return he smiles back and greets him. Then, the man, turns to his left and greets the youngster. To my astonishment, the young lad, gives hime a beautifull smile, bows his head, and quickly, yet respectfully, extends both his hands, and shakes the man's hand........

Beautifull.

The scene was undescribable. So peacefull. So much respect to each other, showed the three. Yet, none of them knew the other.

This is how we should react. Respect the elderly, and have mercy on the younger.

I was moved.
