Annoying Prayer Habits!!!

I encounter them all the time...especially during Jumaat prayers.

Unless you got some extremely weird beliefs of this religion, you all prolly pray a few times a day or at least make an effort to try.

Prayer is cool...a time where we can actually have a one-on-one link with the Almighty Himself. We can either pray alone or pray in congregation ain't it?

Unfortunately praying in congregation has its downside. When one is trying to establish a link to God, there is always some moron that completely screws it up.

Depending on your school of thought, we should say Amin aloud after Surah Fateha is recited right?

Well, i do not mind this. What I do mind is people shouting Amin on the top of their lungs. That's not nice.

Shouting Amin does not make your prayer better. It just makes everyone else annoyed.

If you are gonna say Amin out loud, say it in a tolerable voice. Allah can hear all Amins, soft or loud, so do not worry about not being heard.

Then...

If there is one thing to ruin your concentration during solat, it would be those ''karaoke imams'' who are beside you & reciting the surah louder than the actual imam.

Hey man, congratulations on knowing the surah that the Imam is reciting but please shut up so I can concentrate, thank you.

Last but not least...

I truly wish handphones were around at the time of Rasulullah SAW so they could have been officially banned during prayer time. Why?

Because today we have a bunch of mongooses who think they are important getting called in the midst of prayers.

It is kinda alarming that in the middle of Surah Fateha all you hear is 50 Cents ''In Da Club" or some stupid Bollywood ring tone.

What is even more stupid is that no matter how many times i said "Subhanallah", the dude beside me will still not turn off his handphone during prayer.

Oh the horror!!!
