Small Place for God

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:24 PM

Dear God,

Today I visited a place that have a lot of, maybe thousands, people coming and going. It is the Soekarno-Hatta Airport here in Indonesia.
It was Maghrib time, me and my cousin needed to find a place to do our prayer.
We found it, and I was totally surprised. It was so small, only one and a half line (probably just ten) people can fit in and pray together.
How come, in a country where more then 80% of the people are moslems, the authority of the airport can only provide such a small place for your home ?
