iamswizz: pls i am a christian... But how do i observe my own too.. Tanks

For those who don't observe regular prayers, it'll take you less than 10 minutes, max 15 to observe these prayers. First of all, have it in your mind that you want to change not for anyone, not for that cute muslim babe or handsome muslim guy, not for your parents or the people you are iving with, not for your boss or co-workers, but for the sake of Allah (& yourself).You may be encouraged by the afore-mentioned people but make sure you are not doing it for them.

And above all, a popular "defensive strategy"/ excuse used by muslims who don't pray regularly is that there are some muslims who pray 5 times daily yet they have very terrible characters. Yes, this might be true. But so also do we have several muslims who observe their 5 daily prayers and have excellent manners, relate happily with both muslims and xtians.

I remember some muslim brothers back in Uni who despite having beards and being what you might call "Alfa" were sooo amiable and nice towards both muslims and xtians.

swtdarling: i don't pray on time.but i pray all.prayin on time is the major problem i have,which am praying to Allah to make easy for me.i have a question tho


if one is to leave home for work by quarter to 6.and salat is by 6.is it allowed in islam to pray by quarter to 6?

uplawal: @Maclatunji,but we say Alhamdullilah first in salat aside......

fellis: Am I allowed to miss Solat because I went for classes?

Wendyslim: I do atimes especially.when am sick but when am too tired I combine them. May ALLAH make it easy.

Jarus:

Yes. But pls modify to remove his name

BetaThings:
Excellent point


I have seen people come up with this "shaytanic deception' which some people put up. Nobody who understands Islam will say that really. It is one thing to sin, it another to justify it. I cannot see how a one-on-one duty to Allah is excused because a third party is remiss in his own duties. In any case if the "bad-mannered" person who prays regularly changes for the better, will the person who has not been praying go back to 5 years and make up the salat

BetaThings:
I am bothered by this impression that despite having beard they are well behaved. It should be because they know the rules of Islam (evidenced by keeping the beard) they are amiable towards non-muslims. Religion is practised with knowledge, not emotion. A knowledgeable Muslim will speak up for Islam without abusing the people reverred by other religions, they will not abuse anyone's parents; they know that they cannot cut family ties though some members of the family are non-muslims, they know that as Muslims their duties to their parents require them to drive their parents to and from Church (without entering the Church if the parents are Christians)if the parents so require. A knowldegeable Muslim knows that armed jihad cannot be embarked upon without having an Amir who knows the steps to take to declare armed jihad. They know that they should demonstrate the beauty of Islam to people through their conduct and know the right of neighbour. We can go on and on.

uplawal: Honesty this is not showing showing off,i don't like people who miss salat for any reason,and i hate anyone telling me they will change to be praying cos they don't at all,yet they don't,just making mouth,i can even avoid the person as long as he or she continues until she changes,there is this hatred that feels me particularly those that disbelievers that says they will change but never,they think they deceive Allah,but they deceives themselves really,and my uttermost hatred goes towards christians that ridicule Islam.

My baby

My baby is fine Alhamdullilahi,Sukran.

tplacid: First of all I want to say I love you all for Allah's sake even though I have never met anyone of you before. The prophet said 'A believer is a mirror to another believer' the fact that we
are sharing our salat experiences just gives me joy that there is hope for this Ummah.

However, I realised that being a Muslim is the most difficult decision I have made in life, since reverting to Islam my conscience has been on auto pilot to the deen. When I first reverted it was always very difficult for me to even pray but then I would listen to sermons, read random verses from the Qur'an but then I stumbled upon this verse in Al Mumin(The believers) saying the believers are those that guide their salat(prayers), after I read that verse my salat has been on time and done the best possible manner as prescribed by our beloved prophet(SAW)

To all non muslims reading through this thread looking for answers just take your time, have an open mind. If you move one step close the one true God he would move 10 steps to you, yes he loves you that much. This is coming from an ex christian.

To my muslim folks trying to pray five times daily take it easy on yourself, it's easier than you think, the first thing you need is intention then read the Qur'an as often as you can, maybe one verse a day or a whole surah a day. Subconcsiosly you will begin to purify your heart, your soul will start to re unite will Allah you will start getting drawn to him in a way that will surprise you. At that point salat will be as easy as breathing, am talking from my personal experience here.

Islam is way of life, it's the journey of a lifetime. All you just need to do is have the intention to make that journey, once you do your path will be shown to you.

"This day I have perfected your Religion for you, completed my favour upon you and I have chosen for you Islam as your Religion"

Do you prefer 'former christian'?

All these one you type don't really bother me,so because i hate unserious muslims(hypocrite)that always say rubbish about bear growers,hijab sisters,praying muslims,yet they don't pray,you are joining their band by preaching iwa lesin to mi,mind you,Allah blessed me enough with good morals,and pls don't expect me to be opening my teeth for those that hate Allah and his messenger?and have you not read the narrations that says,the prophet wanted to burn the houses of those that dnt wake for fajr?If he likes their unseriousness,he won't have bothered about burning their houses,and by the way,who told you we don't encourage them?ofcourse we do,but they just prefare the hustle of this life better than the akhira

See Uplawal, lemme tell you some things you might actually know but not realise their import.
That you observe your prayers constantly may appear to be by your personal effort, yes, but actually, it is LARGELY by the GRACE of ALLAH.

Do not outrightly condemn those muslims who don't observe their salat constantly. Condemn the ACT, but ENCOURAGE the people & pray for them for these reasons:

- THAT WE ARE MUSLIMS TODAY DOESNT GUARANTEE WE WILL DIE AS MUSLIMS & THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO CONTINUOSLY PRAY TO ALLAH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

- The unbeliever today may eventually become a muslim & a mu'min tomorrow. The very good muslim today can become a disbeliever tomorrow. It has happened in the past even in the tine of the Prophet (SAW) & it is still happening NOW. Don't ever forget that.

I believe you are yoruba right? Have you heard of ''apadasiaburu''? May Allah not make it our portion.


Lastly, you may want to read my post above especially the areas that have to do with having an excellent character towards muslims & non-muslims alike. That was the greatest attribute of the Prophet. One of the imams at a mosque i pray jumat constantly says '' Olorun o fi irun royin anobi (SAW), iwa é lo fi royin e ju'' as the Prophet is always been described as the best of mankind. Of course, we cant be like him, but let us try in our own way. Get rid of the hate in your heart & replace it with more love You have it in you.

Peace.

bukatyne: there is nothing like a former christian either. Anyone who leaves the christian faith is called a backslidder.

uplawal: @Bukayte,can you help urself ignoring me ,there is no way you can hate only the sin without hating who is committing it,pls carry your fake church doctrine out of here,it does not exist in Islam,i mean real muslims mind.And mind you we muslims fight for Allah cause if need be,as Allah promised to fight who fight us through our Hands,Just like you christians are jubilating on facebook and nairaland about the Nigerians troops sent to Mali,cursing the muslims and saying they should kill them all,So in your thinking the christian soldiers amongs them should laid down their arms,cos they should not fight.
