| Salam.....I do believe in Allah and i fully worship him but sometimes i feel that some of his rules are to strict for todays generation...For example i have heard that women in islam cant drive and really there is not really any time for us muslims to pray 5 times a day..i mean with school and work its just to busy. No i am not trying to offend anyone, i just need some explanations because i know for a fact that there is still plenty more to learn. and i am willing to learn everything there is about allah and islam so i can have more faith in it... |

Wa alaikum as salam sister. All of the restrictions in Islam are for a reason. As far as women not being able to drive, I've never heard of it!! Yes, in Saudi Arabia women are not allowed to drive. This is a reflection of Saudi culture not Islam. Of course there's time to pray 5 times a day. Muslims all over the world are doing it. I was a university student in the States once upon a time Salam

and I was always able to fit salat into my schedule. If you know you'll have a class that runs during class time, talk to your instructor at the beginning of the semester and get permission to leave class for 5-10 minutes to pray. That's what I did, and I never had a problem (not even during exams). I've done the same thing at work. Belive me sister, if you set out to do something for the sake of Allah he'll make it easier for you. And if you find hardships, then your ajr will be that much more. Just think of it as Allah expiating for you some of your sins (all of us can use that
).

Assalamu Alaikum Sister: This reminded me of something I read: "Say your prayers before others pray for you." I'm not sure where it's from, but it strikes something in my heart, Insha'Allah yours also. ------------- It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
