Masjid prayer times

[Muslimah]

as salam alykom again

Just felt to share an experience

Last year I was moved to another department under a boss who never dealt with me before. It was our first encounter. Alhamdulelah I have this itch about making salat on time. the minute I hear the call I just can not wait Alhamdulelah Mash aAllah may Allah maintain His bounty. I just get really tense if I can not do it on time. He was setting some organization and told us will have a weekly meeting. On the first meeting, he observed a need of a colleague while scheduling the meeting, the man needed to join a rally for Palestine I think at that time. I came and asked him being so concerned for people's needs, pls while schduling avoid praying time. He said fine. Then the meeting started and prayer came on. I tried to execuse myslef, he said it will be only 10 mintues to finish and Iqamah is not even on. I becamse really tense but did not want to argue among other co workers, I respected him as boss specially that I am a woman and older than him age wise. After the meeting was over and I made my salat, I went and told him I would not like to be taken while salat is on because when Allah asks me I can not tell Him I had a meeting. Of course, he took a hostil position towards me, really hostile just trying to be brief. But Alhamdulelah I continuted to maintain good kind manner with him, even checked on his ill son, he could not believe I did. When he was removed from being my boss, I was the only one to go in and sooth his heart, now Alhamdulelah we maintain good relation and respect for each other. Sorry for a long post
