How can Muslims possibly manage to pray five times a day? Don they get tired of it?
The daily prayers form one of the five pillars of Islamic worship. So praying is an essential part of a Muslim’s life. Muslims do not see praying as a chore. On the contrary, they see it as a way of keeping up their relationship with God. Many Muslims feel refreshed and recharged after a prayer. The five daily prayers also help to enhance a Muslim’s time-management, as they can organise their day around the time between prayers. Islam lays emphasis on the punctuality in offering prayers so that a regularity and rhythm is established. The prayers themselves take only about five minutes. Muslims do not see the commandments as unreasonable. When ill, it is up to the person to consider how much they can manage. On journeys they can shorten their prayers and group some of them together to save time. However, they should still be performed, to keep in mind the prayer’s importance in the life of a Muslim.
