Thanks for introducing me to this series of web videos. I really like the topics and I definitely can relate to this one, especially about standing toe to toe. I had one sister come to me and tell me that because we are women we don't have to stand toe to toe and that explained why her daughter kept moving her foot over. I really did feel like I was doing the splits ha ha. Anyway, a Muslim is a Muslim and salat is the same for all Muslims no matter what the gender.

Thanks for the video!

hey thanks!

The only thing about this particular video that I don't like is that the introduction is almost 3 minutes long. It's not a problem though coz the rest of it is really good.

'head to butt collision' now that was funny stuff.

My distractions are mental, like what has to be done and what bill is due and what do I need at the store....I am looking forward to the responses here.

My son has a terrible habit of wanting to come and ask questions at prayer time. Most of my distractions (since I'm new) are..I hope I'm doing this right, and I worry that the phone will ring or something. The cats also like to come in and play with the tassles on the prayer rugs..silly kitties... do you smash'em or push them out of the way?... I'm also very much looking forward to seeing everybodies answers....

Amal, quick question. When you say you are new to this, does this mean you are a new Muslim?

The Prophet (saws) loved cats. There is a story I have read that has been attributed to both the Prophet (saws) or Ali (ra), where a cat came and fell asleep on his cloak. When he wanted to get up, rather than disturb the cat, he cut away the portion of the cloak under the cat.

When I lived in a house with cats, and they would fluff around on my rug during salat, I would do my best to make the best use of the part of the rug they weren't on, and gently nudge them out of the way if absolutely necessary.

Awww, Rahma!!! I love my kitties, so I love to hear this story about the cats . . . maybe it will make my hubster feel better coming to live with a bunch of cats . . . me included, .

This is gonna sound weird but most of my distractions are things that I def. shouldn't think about during prayer The more I try to keep out of my mind the more I get mental images of my husband in compromising situations and nude. What's wrong with me?
