LOL, I have other things to do than worship god 24/7
no offence but have you like no shame?
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
1 thing about these kuffaric countries that is a Pro, is that they dont take second looks at you even if you are praying in a public area like a college,workplace, etc.
yh thats true
our school although non muslim had a contemplation room with musalla and a wudhu khana
only prob was about 10 people maximum of the 1000 muslims went.
for the others..the first 5 days and last 5 days of ramadhan-full

i read ur post after
i was on the third page
i think what you said is good...but look at the way he said that..as a muslim he should know better
if he had said something like
`oh i dont get the time` i would have said something much nicer
but its as if hes jesting and that angers me :mad:

read bro farhans post above
Member of - LI's MTL™crew (Marriage thread lovers)-
yes i have read that too
but let us look at his statement
LOL, I have other things to do than worship god 24/7
to me this looks like hes making a mockery.
now mockery is something very serious in islam
And if you were to ask them, they would say: 'Surely we were
only jesting and playing.' Say: 'Was it Allah, His Verses,
or His Messenger you were mocking? Make no mistake,
verily you have disbelieved after your belief
[9/65]
now im not suggesting anything..im just saying when you want to say something never never never joke like that

i DID read farhans post and i aplogise to u and to makaveli if my words sounded harsh
(if he wasnt joking then his statement is more serious)

Prayer is only maximum 15min and 5 times a day. That means a day you are only spending 1hr 15mins a day. Now calculate exactly how much time do you waste on useless things.
1hr 15mins a day isn't exactly too much. I'm managing a department and I can still find time in my schedule for salat. I'm not always punctual, but I try to be punctual and pray 5 times a day.
And I hope my brothers and sisters pray for me for salat, and I pray for them too (and that includes you too )... Amen!

It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salât, and gives the Zakât, and keep their word whenever they make a promise, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of persecution, hardship, and war. Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).
also remember many things r a form of worship
if u go uni/col...thats worship because u seek knowledge
if u eat thats worship - ur luking after the body Allah (swt) gave u
worship does not have to be exhausting
its a pleasure and a blessing.
My heart, so precious,
I won't trade for a hundred thousand souls.
Your one smile takes it for free.Rumi
I pray all my namaz although not always on time. Insha'Allah may we all become better muslims.

"Worship is an all inclusive term for all that God loves of external and internal sayings and actions of a person."
In other words, worship is everything one says or does for the pleasure of Allah. This, of course, includes rituals as well as beliefs, social activities, and personal contributions to the welfare of one's fellow human-beings. Source
Mash'Allah that was a good post (to another post) Farhan. We need to be patient. Getting angry and losing contol over emotions won't do any good. We can't force people to do anything but we can still offer guidance and support.
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
Plus, I'm in school 9-3 and I don't feel like waking up at 5 int he morning to pray and then try to get more sleep before I have to get ready to go to school, that doesn't work well.
I'm in school from 8.30am till 3.45pm and get home at 4.30pm
I wake up for fajr at 5am - whether I go to sleep late or not.
I then go back to sleep again and wake up at 7am.
I go to school aswell you know.
I live far away from school which is why I have to wake up so early.
I pray dhuhr at school and the rest of my prayers at home.
Alhamdulillah.
If you have the right intention, then of course it will work out not well, but perfectly well.
many adults, teenagers, and children of the ummah do not pray 5 times a day this is a well known fact im sorry to say, the way forward is to show people the importance of salah by its virtues not by its punishments, let me explain :
When you are advertising a product, will it sell more if you show all the positive things about it, or by showing the negative things about it?
The answer is quite clear.
What im saying is, the negative is not insiginificant but in terms of reforming a society the positive is vital, you cannot convince people to pray, they have to believe it in their hearts, otherwise the routine will not last, and to do that, you need to show what people can EARN, from doing salah.
(by the way this was not directed at anyone just a general statement)
