WOMEN , PRAY ON TIME !!!

Five times a day, Muslims stop whatever they are doing - like sleeping, shopping, working, or watching TV – to pray. SubhanAllah! Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: the Sunnah indicates that it is better for a woman to pray at home, no matter where she is, whether she is in Makkah or elsewhere. 

When you go for shopping , always bring with you a praying carpet or mat. Co z u don't know maybe shopping will make you late more, well i myself loves roaming around the Malls.Beautiful, and inviting showrooms^_^! There are some malls with masjids and sections for women too.But if u are on wudu,and masjid is far from where u are,then don't hesitate to furnish your carpet on the corner and start your prayer, and see what's the result after you're done. It's a great feeling and quite a relief coz you made it,Alhamdulillah!!! May Allah Subhana Wa Taala Accepts our prayers and Worship! Ameen.

Allah Subhana Wa Taala said:

[al-Nisa’ 4:103]

“Verily, As‑Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours”

“Men whom neither trade nor sale (business) diverts from the remembrance of Allaah (with heart and tongue) nor from performing As‑Salaah (Iqaamat‑as‑Salaah) nor from giving the Zakaah. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will be overturned (out of the horror of the torment of the Day of Resurrection).

That Allaah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and add even more for them out of His Grace. And Allaah provides without measure to whom He wills”

[al-Noor 24:37-38]

PRAY IN IT'S TIME, DON'T BE NEGLIGENT !!!

“Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As‑Salaah (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salaah (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell”

[Maryam 19:59]

Islam has told us the times of the prayers, as described in the hadeeth which was narrated by Muslim (217) from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr (may Allaah be pleased with him) from the Prophet who said: “The time of Zuhr is so long as the time for ‘Asr has not begun, and the time for ‘Asr is so long as the sun has not begun to turn yellow, and the time for Maghrib is so long as the afterglow has not faded, and the time for ‘Isha’ is until midnight, and the time for Fajr is so long as the sun has not yet risen.”

It is not permissible for you to delay ‘Isha’ until half an hour before Fajr, because the time for ‘Isha’ is up to midnight, as it says in the hadeeth. If you want to work out when midnight is, then calculate the time from sunset until dawn, and half way between the two is the end of the time for ‘Isha’ (this is midnight). If the sun sets at five o’clock and the adhan for Fajr is given at five o’clock, then midnight (or half way through the night) is eleven o’clock at night.

So you must organize your time at work in a way that will not interfere with your performing the prayers on time and work out an agreement on a suitable solution with the administration, even if that causes you some difficulty, such as working extra hours, for example. Note that the benefits of increased faith in your heart that you will get as a result of praying on time will compensate for any difficulties you encounter, and that hardship will turn to joy – in sha Allaah – because you will be putting up with it for the sake of Allaah and seeking His pleasure.

It is not permissible for a Muslim man or woman to delay an obligatory prayer beyond the proper time, rather every accountable Muslim man and woman is obliged to perform the prayers on time as much as they can.

Work is not an excuse for delaying prayer, neither is impurity on clothes or clothes being dirty. None of these are acceptable excuses.

Sometimes, shopping takes all your time ^_^ and prayer time will go on it's prescribe time to the extent of another prayer time comes. So, pray your prayers on it's prescribe time wherever you are !!!

It is better to hasten to perform the prayers when the time for them begins, because of the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari (496) and Muslim (122) from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: I asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Which deed is most beloved to Allaah?” He said: “Prayer offered on time.” He said, “Then what?” He said, “Honouring one’s parents.” He said: “Then what?” He said, “Jihad for the sake of Allaah.” 

And Allaah knows best.
