Where did you perform prayer?

[PeaceUpOnMohamed]

Salam,


I think its safe to say, my experience tops the lot :P


The experience of making wudhu using snow, is nothing compared to praying right in the city streets with people staring - and your forehead sore. :mellow:

Is it even logical to pray anywhere else other than Earth?


Where would you face, knowing there is no such thing as east, west, north or south? Would just face Planet Earth? Or at the direction the east side of the earth is facing? :wacko:


In my dreams, i prayed on every planet in the galaxy. I didnt leave a flag, or a draw a smile on the ground, i left my signature <b>'Kal waz here'</b> :P Then i went to chase Suhail on the Moon..

If we can face the Kabaa when the Earth is Round , why cant we face the qibla from the moon ? , the human brain doesnt have the ability to understand the system created by allah swt , i am sure it is very possible to pray from anywhere in the universe ,


p.s i am not an astronaut nor do i work for Nasa , i only dreamt i was praying salah on the moon , it was a very long time ago ....

Mash aAllah good reasoning but what is even better is that is it backup by Quran:


"And to Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne). Surely! Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing." (Quran 2:115)


Let us move on, any one has strange experiences about salat location? :) we are just sharing experiences nothing more.

In the middle of a very big and famous shopping Mall in ShenZhen/China. i and my 2 Egyptian friends decided to perform our maghrib there… So we just removed all what we have bought from the plastic bags and spread them on the ground to perform our prayers, and masha’Allah, it was very touching when Salah is over to see almost more than 50 persons surrounding us and smiling at us with respect. I remember one of my friend make Du’a after this Salah saying: “O Allah, make this Maghrib prayer beneficial to all those Non Muslims who were watching us”.

Wael.

Yesterday, I was running an errand, Zohr was on while I was still driving and no Masjeds were around. When I arrived to the place where I had to be, I thought of seaching for a place to pray first. One Masjed had no area for women, I went to seek the other one, but the doors were shut.


I asked a lady who was attending to the building. Actually the Masjed is built under a residence building (common in Egypt). she told me to go around the back area of the building where it was practially an open air place with straw mats spread on the floor. Mash a Allah, she was very curtous to assure me that she will make sure no one comes in. Sobhan Allah, I would have imagined praying in this spot Alhamdulelah.

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......

As Salaamu Waalaikum!


Well i also think this a good topic Masha'allah :)


Well i guess my most challenging experience was when i offered Salat for the first time!!!...i was in new shahadah class and the athan was being called and i was still talking having no clue to be silent so all the sisters was like sshhhhh!!!!...Anyways it was time for Zuhr and i was so lost cause of course i couldn't hear the prayer being recited so i was just trying my best to look around and follow the everyone else and i was all wrong mash'allah :D ...But Al-humduillah iam Taiyib with My Salah now :) ...I didn't have a special place but that was a rememberable experience so i thought i would share


Ma Salaama

O khalilah that is very exciting, of course the moment is really exciting Sobhan Allah.


I d like to hear more about this day and moment really.


Any way, my next experience, I was performing Umra with another girl, we completed out Umra and had to head back to Jeddah. Maghreb was close but we couldnt wait to pray in Haram. It was one of those hot days, very hot. But of course, in the Haram (masjed), they furnished airconditioned marble floors throughout the masjed. Thus, we didnt feel the heat while doing any of the rituals. Going back to Jeddah, we took a cab, as soon as Maghreb, we asked the cab driver to stop, we went off, we were in the middle of the road (desert). We went off, prayed on the pepples, hot firing hot, sobhan Allah, our feet touching the hot pepples, after finishing salat, we recalled the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam. We told ourselves, we just did this once, he and his companions always had the same circumstances while praying Sobhan Allah.
