there was no arrangement of light
There was no arrangement of lights on this mosque for the last three years. People coming here to offer Namaz had to face difficulties due to lack of light. Muhammad Salamat, the servant of this tomb, tells that for the last many years there was no light in the mosque of the mountain. About which Namazi and I used to be very worried. One day the priest of the Hanuman temple and the brothers associated with several Hindu organizations decided that they would give light from the Hanuman temple to the mosque.
The mosque was illuminated by the temple for three years
Muhammad Salamat says that the decision to switch the lights from the Hanuman temple to the mosque was taken from the Hindu side. After this decision, the people of the Hindu side made arrangements for lights for the mosque. Light was given from the temple without any interruption for three years. There have never been any complaints in three years. The people of the temple management used to switch on the lights on time. Never even had to ask to turn on the lights.
Everyone’s religion is the same, that’s why the light
Lakhan Dubey, the priest of the Hanuman temple, told that there is a tomb and a mosque on the hill near the temple. Where there was no light, it used to get dark in the evening. For this reason, all of us together got the light arranged there because there was no means of light around there. He said that our religion teaches us to respect all religions.
Namaz in the mountain mosque is closed for a few months
Khidmadgar Muhammad Salamat tells that for the last few months Namaz is not being held in the mosque. Because one day a military officer called us and said that this area of the mountain comes in the firing range of the military. That’s why you people cannot offer Namaz here. For the last few months, the people of the army camp there practice firing. Because of which Namaz is not happening.
Both the priest and the servant are sad
Temple priest Lakhan Dubey says that now the people of the Muslim community are not able to offer Namaz there. We are sorry about this. If the people of the army camp allow them, then everything can be as before. At the same time, Khidmatgar Muhammad Salamat is also sad that he is no longer able to serve the Mazar and Masjid there.
