Why pray 5x a day?

Taken from the FUNdamentalist (via his Twitter account)

Someone asked me a very good question. They asked why Muslims are required to pray in a certain way. I gave it some thought.

The easy answer of course would be, "This is how we were commanded to pray." This is a sufficient for the Muslim. However, when you are dealing with folks who are new to Islam or just learning about Islam, it must be explained in different ways. There is no one formula when giving dawah. People are different and life is fluid. You must adapt. Moreover, dawah isn't all about just giving your typical, predictive lines. It's give and take, and part of that taking, are questions.

Dear MPAC UK: You are utter morons!

I decided to go to the MPAC UK website today to see what they were saying.

They seem to be a pretty active place, so a good place to catch up on news, especially comment on George Galloways's victory in the by election in Bradford.

George Galloway is a pretty well liked politician

Instead I come across a smear campaign against the local Labour candidate. I think his main crime was being the Labour candidate standing against George Galloway - he was probably the candidate probably even before George Galloway had announced his intention to stand.

Gorgeous George strikes again (but who represents us?)

Yup, he's done it again. George Galloway is back, having won a by-election in Bradford of all places.

The usual people are all frothing at the mouth, calling him an opportunist and worse.

He also beat a Muslim candidate who should have comfortably won as he was for the party who had comfortably held the seat until George Galloway announced that he will stand.

But all this is still good news.

Not only is George Galloway a man of conviction, the other parties have failed us.

What's in my head?

I think too much, when i think too much i reflect on my life, when i reflect on my life i become sort of sad, i want to change but do very little to put that change into affect, when i can't (EDIT: don't) make a change i do nothing, when i do nothing i think i should atleast do something (something good), then i fake a smile and it becomes real Smile . Change starts with a positive attitude.
