Have you ever wondered how basketball players break winning records nobody had imagined could be achieved? The phenomenon is often described as athletes performing in the zone.
We, as Muslims, experience this with our Eman.
In one narration, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ran forward at the battle of Hunayn, in the midst of those who were turning away from the battlefield. Everyone else was moving in the other direction.
And in one account of Khalid ibn Al-Waleed رضي الله عنه, we learn that he and his men crossed rough terrain on horseback and a massive stretch of desert in a matter of days, arriving just in time to defeat the enemy — a march that should not have been possible in the time available.
Muhammad Alshareef describes this state of mind and, more usefully, asks what produces it. If Eman can reach that pitch, then it is not a fixed quantity — and the question of what raises it becomes a practical one rather than a theoretical one.
The second half of the title, The Day We Lost Our Masjid, works the same territory from the opposite direction: what happens to a community when that state is absent.
Youth audiences in particular, for whom the sporting analogy does a great deal of work. Also anyone whose practice has flattened into routine.
