That Salah/Prayer Moment When... Those Salah/Prayer Moments

Try and tell me you don't relate to at least one of these.

[Dang it was it my third or my fourth rakah?]

I'm gonna keep focused. This is just between me and God.

[-in taraweeh- UGH YES, SUJOOD YES MY LEGS HURT-wait am I really that heavy?]

Sujood is that moment when you feel really, really close to Allah. It feels so nice and comforting.

[oooh, those carpet patterns look so pretty...ooh, that one looks like your fourth grade crush. Remember that guy? *physically cringes*. Hey! Hey! How about we remember every single scarring memory you've ever had?]

This surah reminds me more of my own life than I thought.

[-starting salah- oh no oh no oh no did I leave the oven on wait do I even have wudhu? Can I pray in these shorts?]

Everything's prepared.

[IMMA BEAT YOUR HIGH SCORE AND-Allaaaaaahu Akbar- ugh fine RIGHT AFTER ASR IMMA SLAY YOU IN COD BRO]

Alhamdulilah, yes! Salah time. I love it because it's a refresher seminar and I just get to kind of have a little meeting.

[No, you pray this way. That way is wrong. No, no. Your arms need to be there not there. Ugh, so many mistakes.]

We're all set ahead of time.

[*in sujood* Y'know, I wonder if this is good for my brain. Probably is. It needs the blood flow anyways]

Can't help but let a tear fall.

[i wish they would just make nail polish that's so I could pray with it on, know what I mean?]

Henna is so much prettier than nail polish.

[Hey, hey, so like, if I'm traveling and it's Maghrib, do I pray 1,5 rakah? Do I leave in the middle of ruk'uh?]

When is Isha?

[Oh. It's Dhuhur. Well. Can't hurt if I miss just one.]

I can't handle the guilt of skipping salah. It means I value the Dunya more than Allah.

[*in the middle of reciting surah Ikhlas* Ugh I forgot the next verse!]

Too focused on the words and their wisdom to forget.

[Look, I pray. You might not see me, but it's cause I do it on the inside.]

I don't care if you see me praying or not, salah is for my health.

[*recites only from the last two pages of the Quran* I like to keep it simple, nah'mean?]

*recites whatever surah comes to mind*

[*has some song stuck in head* money lalalalalalalalalala drugs lalalala fame lalala illegitimate relations lalala]

*has an amazing recitation of Surah Nur stuck in head* NOOOOR 'ALA NOOOOOOOOR

[-finishes praying- Wait what just happened]

-finishes prayer- Wow, that was amazing.

[i just wanna be a better Muslim so I can be a better human. And I guess salah is one of the best places to start.]

^ You can do it.
