Pillar 2: When Do We Pray?

Sh. Abdullah Oduro delves into the concept of being truthful with oneself in our intention of prayer. When we do so, prayer becomes a priority in our lives. We come to the realization that 5 times a day is the perfect number. It is important to note that the timing of prayer is in “time-spans” and not “exact times”- an amazing mercy from God.
