ramadhan and solat

assalamualaikum,

alhamdulillah, we meet again our favourite month of the year a long awaited month and missed ramadhan. i feel great masyaAllah that i am going to fast and meeting ramadhan again. i hope this ramadhan we all will be blessed and protected by Allah subhanahu wataala.

brunei is a country of peace. living abroad has made me think differently about our my country. we are very lucky that we are able to practice islam freely and so do other religion. i mean other countries they are free but sometimes its hard.

for example doing the solat, in Brunei we have masjids all over the place and so we have no reasons to miss solat. and it is kinda hard for u not to forget also... i mean since masjids are everywhere, you can basically here the adhan. even the malls have surau or prayer room.

whereas like other countries especially muslims are still one of the minorities, it is kinda hard to do your solat. sometimes you have to do in public not in a closed area... but all of these do not matter at all because Allah owns the world.

i believe the phrase when there is a will there is a way... i have listen or someone i know will have reasons to miss solat... such as dirty, not used to the place or busy and etc. and then they will say they will just qadha it....

sorry... but i think and i learned that qadha is when u forgot i mean you do not remember or maybe u felt asleep .. then you can qadha.. but i do not see any reasons that was listed above somehow the same or related. please correct me if i am wrong... but this is was i learned from my religious school.

since this is the month of ramadhan, where all the muslims are going to fast insyaAllah... and fasting is the third in the five pillar of islam (rukun islam). it comes after solat... so it means your solat comes before your puasa.

wassalam
