I was just wondering, many people start praying at different ages. What was your age [roughly] when you started praying all of your 5 prayers?

Please vote in the above poll [it is anonymous], and make any comments in this thread.

Jazaak Allaah Khayr :D

i remember as soon as i turned ten, my dad woke me up for fajr. i was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoyed with him. he done that for two nights. and i would make sure that he could see that i was angry. i then i realsied that he's not going to give up so i might as well as stop my whinging. and you know what?? im so gald he did that, because i think i would have trouble getting up nowadays.
but in regards to the question, i dont exactly remember.

I answered when I reverted. But that is when I began praying as a Muslim.


As far as praying 5 times a day. I began praying at least 5 times a day as a very young child. In fact I can not remember a time in my life I did not pray at least 5 times a day. Although that was not as a Muslim and not at the prescribed times.

i don't see why anyone would get annoyed, me and my sister were always keen to do everything even getting up to pray and fasting, it was my rents who made it difficult LOL :rollseyes

I can't remember the exact age i learnt how to pray my sis might know..But when i first learnt to pray i kept forgetting things like intention and got my surah's muddled up :-\, so i wouldn't count my first years :-[

:w: Never been forced to pray to be honest, my parents are very lenient eventhough my dad is extremely religious. I started searching and reading the Quran when I was 15, I would read it nightly and pray every single day. Alhamdulilah I've started again during the summer. :D May Allah keep our imaan strong enough for us to pray to him until our lives end! Ameen.

I started a short time after I converted to Islam, although I think I was praying some of my prayers before I actually took the shahadah.

I started when I was about 12 I think. Before that I used to make all the prayers except for 'Ishaa lol.

Masha'allah my cousins started making all five VERY young. I remember being so amazed when I was sleeping over at my aunts one time and then my 6 year old cousin woke up, when I asked her why she said that she had went to sleep without making her Ishaa' and so she woke up to make it.

I was like Subhanallah, up to that extent at so young! :eek:

I started praying when I was around 9...although I wasn't up for fajr much often. Like sister thanaa...I can get lazy sometimes, but I've fully realized that salaat is a great blessing from Allah and whenever I miss one of my prayers, I'm stuck in a problem...so I make sure that I pray on time, 5 times, everyday...:D

at 7 ... i remember i was competiting with my cousin whoever salah five times a day... lol

i always win...but my intention more towards to compete my cousin not really to focus on salah :hiding: :X

And my son going to be 4 this October, has already memorise al-fatihah, suratul-ikhlas, 'subhanarabi'al a'la wabihamdih' , subhanarabial a'la a'zimi wabihamdi and iftitah....

The only thing is he always try to avoid salah...and give so many excuses :hmm:

^ Well I guess that's normal, Sheikh Albani rahimahullah said we shouldn't really try to push salaat on kids when they are so young, but instead just begin making them really practise it when they are 7 like how the hadeeth states :)

I started when I was 16. I started reading Maghrib when I was around 14 and during the 2 years I slowly started reading 5 times. Alhamdulilah.

At first I had difficulty getting up for Fajr at the start but Alhamdulilah I got used to it.

worst thing is dying without establishing salaah, or establishing it and then dying after abandoning it.
