five times a day something known as salah which is not just a supplication but it is a way of worshiping my maker that he has chosen I started off with an intention saying اللہ اکبر and I ended with a سلام تسلیم and in between the two I will do what my maker has taught me through the most beloved محمد peace be upon him I am a Muslim so I will pray in that way five times a day but I will also
