As salaamu alaykum, if this is true, why do some brothers and sisters sit in the mosque for the fard salaat?

Prayer is an obligation upon Muslim 5 times a day at fixed times. When we look into why we have to do this at fixed times, first and foremost it is a Command from our Rabb (Lord) and it is not befitting for a slave when he is ordered by his Master, except to say ‘We hear and we obey’

Also, prayer 5 times a day is a huge blessing as it ensures the Muslim is constantly reminded of his purpose in this life, at various times such as upon waking up (sunrise), and in the afternoon despite being engulfed in the hustle and bustle of life that we all have to go through.

The strict times of prayer that we must adhere to is also a blessing as it I still discipline and it does not allow the believer to become laxidazical.

One final point, the Muslims are a people of revelation so we don’t use our opinions of God to tell us how God would feel if I behaved in such a way. This would not work as different people have different ideas of how God would be based on their own background and upbringing. The Quran came as the final revelation to clarify all things for us and so we do not need to depend on mere speculation. Some people may deem this to be too strict from the outside, but rather, if someone was to taste the beauty of Islam they would realise the freedom it gives due to being relieved of mere speculation as we are a people of clarity who know with certainty who God is and what He is Pleased to see from His slaves

Especially when I am leaving my house, I do it again afresh. And whenever it is time for salaah, I perform it even if conditions are not perfect i.e I am in a car or bus.
But I am guilty of missing them a lot. :(
Working on it though… :D

I had a hard time too at first. I usually find for a vacant classroom or section in the library where students seldom come, but i ask permission from the librarian.. It would be a lot easier if you can find a muslim friend to perform salah with..

When you’ve made the intention that you’ll perfom salah no matter what, you’ll see, Allah will facilitate and make it easy for you..

Brother / sister … The only concern here is that dressing rooms are places of nudity… maybe some one with better knowledge can confirm – but I’m not sure it’s the best possible place. Forgive me if this is offensive to you in any way.

I use the disposable coffee cups from the kitchen to make woodoo. I make sure I wear clothes that I can wear for the salat so I don’t have to waste time covering. For the salat — I go into an unused office. It’s challenging when I am out and about but I noticed that libraries are great places to make salat. Find a quiet corner and I use my smart phone compass app. Also parks are good if you are away from men’s gazes… other wise I will stay in the car instead so no men can see me prostrate.

Plus u can create a dawah platform stemming from that. Out and about do wudu before u leave home and when u r out either find a corner or hit the floor in any shops changing room. Only recently i have used the shop changing floor thinking about dawoud warnersby Ali song, with it, also do dua before u leave home that u find space to do salah, plus i left with wudu that sooner zuhr salah started i was able to complete it. If u r a driver then use ur car to do your salah instead of out on the street.
