The strangest masjid in the world ever heard of such a strange name? It is
a small masjid in Istanbul called “Sanky Yadem” in Turkish, meaning “As if I Ate”
It is only 4 walls & 2 meathana, & yet so many Muslims pray in it at all times to the extent that some pray outside it.
How it was built:
A devout & simple man lived in Fateh area in Istanbul about a hundred years ago. His name was Khair El-Deen Effendi. This poor man’s only hope throughout his life was to build a masjid of his own money. He decided to rely on himself no matter what, and decided to save every penny he gets from his work no matter how little money he got to build the
masjid, even if it was small. Whenever he’d walk in the market, and want to
buy the some fruit, "or meat, or candy, he’d say to himself: "Sanki Yadem" meaning “as if I ate". And then he’d put the price of that food in a box of his. The months and years passed ... He stopped himself from the pleasures of eating ... content with only what’d keep his strength, and the money increased little by little till he managed to build a small masjid in his village. As the people of the village knew the story of this pious poor man, and how he was able to build this masjid, they called the Masjid “Sanky Yadem”
Mashalla! now which one of us has such willpower & determination??
