TASSAWWUF (Faize Mufti Muzaffar Ahmed o Mufti NawalurRahman)

Bismillah Walhumdulillah Making Sense of Common Sense: If you feel lazy about carrying out an act of obedience, challenge laziness and carry it out; And if you have an urge for sin, challenge the urge and stay away from that sin. One who can do this doesn't need to anything extra because this very act of wisdom helps establish communion with Allah, and this person is Allah Tala's Guard on duty and this person is Allah Tala's Promoter. - Hakim ul Ummah Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi Rahemahullah

Surtee Masjid in Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma)

Surtee Sunni Jame Mosque

Surtee mosque is situated in Mogul Road and is one of the biggest mosques in Yangon. It was built by Surtees who migrated from India during the World War II. The mosque displays architecture that's similar to the mosques in India. Most people who pray in this mosque are surtees. Most weddings that take place in this mosque are those of the surtees and the chief reason why the surtees have their marriage in this mosque is because the way the mosque is built reflects their own culture. The mosque has constant renovations, but the basic architecture is never changed.
