He mentioned things we can do to have a better life in Jannah (Paradise) and also things which we should avoid so we can avoid Jahannam (Hell). He touched on the topic of women and how women will be one of the main causes of men going to Jahannam. He was going on about how women make men do things even when they may be unlawful and how women tend to manipulate men. He then adressed the women in the mosque and said I am not saying this about you mothers and sisters. At this point one of the regulars in the Masjid goes, "darr gaye kya??"

I like how the movie asked or answered questions that were popping into my head as I watched the movie (yes even though I do prefer the no brainer movies, but I do like to keep an inquisitive mind). One thing I couldnt believe is how the guy out of Third Rock from the sun actually pulled off a...
