5. Briefly narrate what Kalam remembered about his evenings in the local mosque. 6
Ans. Kalam's father took him to the mosque in the evening for prayer. The prayer was chanted in Arabic in the mosque. He couldn't understand the meaning of the prayers. But in spite of that, he felt convinced that his prayers would reach God. When he came out of the mosque he saw that people belonging to different religions were waiting for his father. They offered bowls of water to his father and he chanted prayers dipping fingers into them. This sanctified water was then taken for invalids at home.
