Sometimes, we wail and groan over non-recognition of our rights by others and make them look like bigots. For me, the real question is, do we recognize these rights ourselves? Imagine boarding a commercial bus from Ilorin to Lagos which is approximately 6hours +.
Assuming that the bus takes off at 11/12am, the times of dhuhr and ‘asr prayers would commence whilst one is still on the road. How many of us is bold enough to ask the driver to stop for us to offer Salāt? Remember that in this state, not only will every 4 raka’at Salāt become
2, but that one can also combine dhuhr and ‘asr, (as well as Maghrib & Ishā’i). Instead of asking that our right to worship Allāh be respected, we remain glued to our seats, hoping to reach our destination and then pray. What if we didn’t reach your destination?
Don’t we know that we have become indebted to Allāh & will account for it? Yet, in the same bus, the driver will pull over to allow a fellow passenger go out to urinate or defecate. Some will even park for passengers to eat & refresh. #Reflect
