One of my everyday routines-Praying

Hey guys =)

The everyday routine that I have given to Sarah (my partner) is praying. As well that I have asked her to focus more on the first step of praying and how it starts off. So the first thing to do is 'Wudu'. Before we perform Salah, we must prepare before we present ourselves before God. The Wudu can last up to a day, but it is recommended you do it before every Salah. Here is a link that will show you how to perform Wudu, Hopefully its helpful =)

Praying is an everyday for me. However, I do not pray 5 times a day (which I should be doing). I have already told Sarah the first Salah i wanted her to concentrate on, Fajir. The first prayer starts at 5 30, and you have to bear in mind that you cannot perform this salah after sunrise. To wake me up I have the azaan as my alarm, and each sentence in the azaan forces me to get up and pray. Its so beautiful. I'd like you to listen to it so I'm pasting the link here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2ztSjUxAZM] This one is with English translation: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKgplIb3csg] - as i said every sentence is significantly meaningful and so strong it literally forces me to get up.

Along with that something I listen to everyday is called the Aytul-kursi. Aytal Kursi is known as the 'The Throne Verse' and is in the 255th ayah (verse) of the second chapter (Surah) Al-Baqara in the Holy Quran. I cannot express how much I love listening to this verse. I know it byheart, so I read it when I'm about to do anything really,getting up, getting on to the train, sitting down doing nothing and so on. It is believed that one who recites Aytal Kursi will be guaranteed paradise, it protects oneself from any difficulties and keeps them safe throughout the entire day.  It is was narrated that Abu Umamah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever recites Ayat Al-Kursi immediately after each prescribed Prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death.” I would really appreciate it if you listen to this verse, because it truly is soooo beautiful- I listen to it everyday.

That's pretty much it! I would really appreciate it if you all could respect this since it is a very personal and sensitive area for me. I am already really happy with the way Sarah is managing the project. Thank you!
