The villagers had no choice but to obey the Imam. > > The decline in attendance for the daily prayers, especially among youth, > forced the Imam to take note of the situation. His inquiries found that > people preferred to stay at home and watch television programs instead of > attending the Isha prayers at the mosque. Inquiries also revealed that th= e > youngsters, both boys and girls, were spending hours watching sitcoms and > films.
