Where did you perform prayer? - Suhail - 08-17-2006
Assalamualaikum
man those were some nice eye opening pictures of devoted muslims praying their salat
its given me an idea why dont we start telling others on the board our experiences of praying our salah in the most un usual places ....
I will start off the most unusual and awesome place ive prayed salah after the 3 holy cities is when we went to the Lake district in Cunbria , England , we have have a bbq in the evening and then we decided to climb Scafell Pike (England's highest point) it took us ages , by the time we got to the top it was magrib time , 5 of us then prayed on top of scafell pike it was an awesome view......

Suhail I liked this idea a lot.
Well here u go,
In 1998, I was visiting Dallas FW, I finally had to go shoping (i dont like shoping but I had to), so I decided to do everything in one day to spare myself the agony.
I went to the mall, expecting to finish in shorter time, but of course it took me longer than expeted. Zohr came on, I went to Cears in which I had a nice chat with a sales woman from Benien (I think this is how it is spelt). I asked her if i can use the fitting room to say my prayers. She said of course and there is a bench for u to sit. I wanted to just get in and pray but shortly explained that we pray stading up.
Sobhan Allah.
Wait for the next location.... :D

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TOPIC SUHAIL

Anyways.. one of my weird prayer experiences was at the beach. I mean, in my country wherever you live, the beach is never more than 2hrs away ok.. and that's a LONG journey..
So whenever we go to the beach Wwe perform salaah there;
This one time i started to perform salaah right there on the sand right. in front of our tents (we went camping on the beach) and while i was standing in prayer, up comes this girl and looks me straight in the face and gives me this perplexed look a few inches away as though somethings terrible wrong... and then left...
some other times at the beach when we perform salaah, the tide was coming in.... so i made sajdah in the waves.... pretty cool experience... I LOVE IT
Thanx suhail

Wow MaSha'Allah. Amazing. :)
I love praying at the Beach During Summer, MashAllah especially Maqrib-prayer. Watching the sunset is so serene and beautiful. Too bad there isn't any Beach near here.

maybe you could go to a playground with a sandox and bring a bucket of water?
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

Even without the beach insha Allah you will find a place just as dear to your heart in time insha Allah.
Once we prayed in a large group at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. A very famous place. And once the kids and I were stuck in the middle of noplace on Wisconsin's cold winter and had to pray in our car, and to make the wudu we used the snow. That was very cold but it reminded me about the dua that says, "O Allah wash me of my sins as white cloth is cleansed with water, ice, and snow."
Thats a special memory. :)

A few years ago, me and my uncle were walking home in the city and he realised it was time to pray, and it was Friday, so he asked me to watch..he looked for the cleanest spot he could find on the London pavements and prayed.
I didnt think it was such a good idea because this was the pavement, and didnt like the looks he was getting from people walking by - and on the buses. He raised his voice slightly when he said Allahu Akbar, that was his way of saying 'what are you waiting for' so we prayed together. :P

POM, the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him said Allah Granted him five that were execlusive to him including that Allah Made to him (and of course his Ummah) earth as a place for Sujud (Masjedan) and purified.
Well, well ok hold on for this incident.
I work as a translator/interpreter.
Last March I had an interpretation assignment. Usually these events require large halls (the event organizer usually rents a hall in a 5 star hotel).
So any way to make a long story short, of course me and my colleague sit in the cabin with the machines on. In this day in particular, the organizer didnt find any place else in Cairo to rent but the night club area in the 12 th floor of Cairo Sheraton. When Zohr came on, me and my colleague just headed to where the stage that was covered with a curtain Alhamdulelah. Alhamdulelah, we performed our prayer. Sobhan Allah, that was amazing, she told me after prayer I never dreamed of performing prayer on a stage next to music instruments. Alhamdulelah, we pondered on the situation, I told her Sobhan Allah, this place is unlikely to have anyone making dhikr in it. Allah Willed that even in this place to be remembered not only just remembered by tongue, no but people praying. sobhan Alalh. The best thing is also when I reflect on the Ayah that such spots will testify for us in the Day After Alhamdulelah.
