Do Muslims use prayer time as an excuse?
I’m afraid I’ll have to go with Desiree on this one. Muhmad has also got a very valid point. Permit me to elucidate. I answered a question by a Muslim asking what was the meaning of two very common lines spoken in the Morning Prayer salat al faj’r, one which goes – Prayer is better than sleep, which is said by the muzzein who leads the prayer and the other that goes – That is true, which is the chorus of the response by the people gathered there. The faj’r is the prayer said at the daybreak and means that the Muslim would need to wake before daybreak to complete the ablutions and attend the prayer, for which reason these lines are only to be found in that prayer. The Muslim asking the question had put them in the wrong order and other Muslims had obviously used online translators which literally translate word for word the transliterations that guy had asked. Naturally, that would be gibberish, because the structure of Arabic is different to English. Now, I speak both Arabic and Englis
