Salam Alaikkum

The Shiaa I know prays 5times a day, I also heard that but the truth according to lady sitting in front of me they pray 5times too, its just that for them it is not harmful to combine some prayers together if they are not able to do it on time.

The Shia acknowledge FIVE daily PRAYERS. However, they are allowed to pray
them in THREE distinct TIMES, not five; the five prayers are: Fajr
(Morning), Zuhr (Noon), `Asr (Afternoon), Maghrib (Sunset), and Isha
(Night).

Some interpret it this way (below info is pasted from site)

"Establish regular prayers at the Sun's decline till the darkness of
the night, and the recital of the Quran in the morning prayer; for the
recital of the dawn is Witnessed. [17:78]"

How many prayer times are mentioned? THREE, NOT five. Count them: the
"Sun's Decline, Darkness of the Night, and the Morning Prayer." That's
THREE, not FIVE.

Good. That's what I did too. And now I'm here, in the firm embrace of the ummah, but occasionally pestering it with nonconformist thoughts ;D

Islam should not be the way it is now?
Maybe what you actually meant is: muslims should not be the way it is now?

I think the "it" in that sentence was general, and actually meant "things" (as in, "Things should not be the way they are now")... Or something like that... Sis londonfog can correct us if we're wrong. :p:

Salaam Alaikum sister,
Yes, what the lady told you was right, but this is only and only if you are unable to preform prayer while at work, school etc... if it is permitted and you are able to preform prayer at the proper time it is favorable and a must for us to do it at the right timing.

So think about it, if I am at school and I will miss than it is best to do the prayer when you can....

And exactly you just showed that the prayers are counted and accepted.... :) JazakAllah Khair my dear sister!
 
What is unity like? What kind of unity are we talking about? What is the purpose of being one ummah?

My vision of unity is one where the matter of one Muslim is the matter of every Muslim. Where, whenever Muslims are in need anywhere, the rest of the ummah will come to the rescue. Where poverty and deprivation are everyone's issues to take care of. Where none is left behind. And where any instance of Muslims being persecuted, oppressed and abused anywhere will be met with a united response consisting of millions of bayonets, and tens of thousands of tanks, warplanes and nuclear-tipped missiles :raging:

The Shia are welcome to be part of that vision too :)
 
:sl:

I'm locking this thread for now. I believe its too much on a topic which is not basically related to the cause we are here for. Also we don't have audience of such a high caliber to discuss such topics.
