A warning sign hung on a column in a mosque, reading "Cut off contact with the created to get in touch with the Creator," caused a great stir. While some users appreciated the creativity of the phrase, others argued that a simpler warning would have sufficed.
A cell phone warning hung on a mosque column quickly drew the attention of large crowds on social media. The philosophical and witty language chosen instead of the classic "Please silence your phone" warning divided users.
"TO CONNECT WITH THE CREATOR..."
The warning sign, put up to preserve the peace of worship in the mosque and not distract the congregation, was photographed by a citizen and shared on social media. The phrases "Cut off contact with the created to connect with the Creator" written on the paper attached to the tile-covered column inside the mosque went viral in no time.
"A QUITE PLEASANT WARNING"
Social media users made numerous comments about the tone of the warning and the message it aimed to convey. While some users liked the creativity of the phrase, others argued that a simpler warning would have sufficed.
Some of the striking comments under the post were as follows:
- "I think it's a witty and quite pleasant warning."
- "Writing 'turn off your phone' would have been enough."
- "This is written in most mosques."
- "I want to write this as my WhatsApp status."
