Wa alaikum as salam (smiling is sunnah)

So true about fitting everything else around salat, it's become a habit for me now. It can be hard at times but then i think salat takes priority. Some of my friends and family are a bit annoyed by it now actually.

I have to do everything between salat times now lol. I find though that Allah makes it easy for you though if you make the effort. Right now for example i can get loads of sleep and then wake up for Fajr as long as i make an effort to sleep slightly early (stops me from going out late too). Also gym either after dhuhr or after maghrib, you wanna go out shopping or for food? It's gotta be after salat. Plus salat only takes a few mins but i'd rather not rush it, it could be my last prayer and i try to imagine Allah is in front of me.

Lucky for you i'm cutting this short lol, time for maghrib.

We Shia Muslims read prayers 3 times a day, unlike Sunni Muslim who read at 5 different times during the day.

At 6am we read one prayer.

At 2pm we read both prayers together, combining them at one time.

At 10pm we read both prayers together, combining them at one time.

This facility is what Prophet (pbuh) gave to all Muslims.

when travelling

This blog reminded me of some practical advice all of us forgot to give you.

Yes you MUST read all 5 prayers

but if you're just starting to get into the habit of all 5 then maybe you should read one consistently first, then when that becomes a habit, 2, then 3 and so on. It may be hard for you to suddenly read all of them and make it a habit and OF COURSE I'm not saying stop reading any that you already read sometimes. Or like if you're concentrating on making 2 a habit but one day feel like reading the rest, to not read them. obviously. But just saying dont get too worried and and dont feel negative if you're not able to do it so quickly, it will be work in progress, just work on it.

A busy life makes Prayers harder, but prayers make a hard and busy life easier,
so lets keep praying and remember each other in our duas!

Short video but a very good reminder about why we pray and why we don't pray
