Oh, so they can pray at times other than the scheduled ones, but it's "annoying" and inconvenient. Looks like we have whiny Muslim and whiny spoiled college brat all rolled up into one here.
They need to do what the rest of us praying-type people do -- pray on our own time in our own space.
I wondered about that; are there scheduled times each day, or is it at their discretion? I mean, if the times are scheduled, wouldn't it be a different time in each time zone around the world??
Muslims observe the formal prayers at the following times:
Fajr (pre-dawn): This prayer starts off the day with the remembrance of God; it is performed before sunrise.
Dhuhr (noon): After the day's work has begun, one breaks shortly after noon to again remember God and seek His guidance.
'Asr (afternoon): In the late afternoon, people are usually busy wrapping up the day's work, getting kids home from school, etc. It is an important time to take a few minutes to remember God and the greater meaning of our lives.
Maghrib (sunset): Just after the sun goes down, Muslims remember God again as the day begins to come to a close.
'Isha (evening): Before retiring for the night, Muslims again take time to remember God's presence, guidance, mercy, and forgiveness.
