NO. 6 . PRAYER DURING TRAVEL

The five –daily prayer in Islam should be offered at a certain  time when a Muslim is at home or is not travelling. However , some times it is necessary to travel from place to place or from one country to another. During the travel perhaeps there are no facilities for preparing oneself for prayer, or the timing of the travel interferer with the proper performance of prayer.

If there is no fear during the travel, there is no need to shorten the prayer; and this was commented upon by Omar, the second Coliph,who was asked why the God gave us permission to shorten and join together prayer. Omar replier that he too had wondered the same thing and said :”Then I mentioned this to the prophet (peace be upon him  |), his answer was that this must be considered as one of the mercies of God: we have to accept it .”
