Waktu Sembahyang

***This blog entry is written specially for Fadli in response to his advice to me which was...."Jangan tinggal sembahyang", however everyone is invited to read on***

In Malaysia, even if you are not a muslim, u usually know that muslims pray 5 times a day and roughly u know the prayer times, once in the morning around 6am, then 1pm, then one more at around 4.30pm then 7pm once more and finally once around 8.30pm. Well in Germany, especially in Spring , near summer time, the prayer times are totaly different and odd , but nonetheless the timing is rather cool, i suppose. Below are the prayer time for Mannheim and kawasan-kawasan sewaktu dengannya (according to Islamicfinder.com) :

Fajr (subuh) : 3.44am

Sunrise(syuruk) : 6.03am

Dhuhur (zohor) : 1.24pm

Asr (asar) : 5.25pm

Maghrib : 8.45pm

Isha : 10.53pm

So, the praying times are so strategic that i think its much better than the prayer time in Malaysia. So, i usually don't have any problems with prayer, except zohor where the lunch time is at 12pm so the timing a bit "lari" there. But as i said...my working times are flexible, So everything can be discussed. so that problem is almost no problem.

The sembahyang Jumaat is really something too... I have to pray at a Turkish Mosque where they are not the same sect as Malaysian...if ur familliar with the sects in islam, the turkish are mostly Hanafi while malaysian are usually Shafie. so their sembahyang jumaat is a bit different then what is in Malaysia, but its no problem, its just a minor difference. We still pray to the same God and follow prophet Muhammad. Thats good enough..

hope everything is clear....Tchuss....
