introduction
I were used to go to church every Sunday. As there are seldom Sunday Masses in the church in this village, I got help from my Muslim neighbor to learn how to pray like a Muslim. Something I can do by myself in my home.
I like to pray to, praise and thank God/Allah
I document everything in a Google drive presentation at
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VUorXR1EdPrvpF5r2VzRc3Y4iD2zdTN1iEDJgKpdwnI/edit?usp=sharing
These are the five prayers where you can hear the first Surah “Al-Fatihah” being recited. once every raka. I can recite myself Al-Fatiha except the last meaning. I like to do it thinking about the message of the meanings i agree with.

Recitation! Not song.
I thought myself that Muslims sing the content of the Quran but I learned that they don’t. That’s their way to recite. Click on the play button in https://quran.com/1/1 to listen to the recitation of Al-Fatihah. There are different reciter. I prefer those who recite slowly like Sheikh Husary, that i listen to in my Android app IQuran
The muslims does not sing the Quran.
i discovered today that a Christian girl also thought the Muslims sings the Quran so she started 2015 to sing parts taken from the Bible. 🙂
She is a ambitious good believer but I think it would be better if the Bible were “recited” like the Muslims do as I personally have difficulties to hear the Bible texts in her song with all the music and that distracting girl dancing around like a Sufi.
The Quran Muslim recitation on the other hand are easily understood. And todays recitations may sound like Angel Gabriel did reciting to Mohammed in the cave over Mekka.
I presume that God did not sing the verses e.g. to Moses or to John with background some for the time modern music (not pop of course).

Salat – prayer
the prayer time for any part in the world is given in http://salah.com/
Fajr – Sunrise Salat – 3:26
This salat is done very early. I can not manage to do it if I don’t happen to wake up myself the night. I did it once when I woke up at 3 am and after taht Salat I slept very well. With my stroke related mental fatigue. I avoid to interrupt my night sleep with a alarm clock.
Salat when I am alone
Whe nI am not together with a Muslim I do it myself looking at these videos. I recite what I am able to otherwise do I listen and read the prayer texts.
I alway wash my self and my room as I want to show order to Allah, something Allah has give humanity. But when I am alone I don’t cover my knees as I see no reason to do it as Allah sees everything anyway.
2. Dhuhr Salat from 13:13 to about 17:00
3. Asr Salat at 17:28 to about 21:00
4. Mahgrib Salat at 21:19 to about 22
5. Ishaa Salat at 22:37 to about 3
Christians and Muslims worship the same God. I feel good to make Muslim prayer.

Sunnas in the raqas:
Mohammand (PBUH) prayers Sunnah were written down in Hadith. Some of them are used in Salat. here are a few of these

wabihamdika watabaraka
and all praises are due unto You,
ismukaj ad-duka ghayruka
and blessed is Your name and high is Your majesty
and none is worthy of worship but you.”
