Dear Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam,
I have been observing the dialog on these subjects for quite some time
now. Perhaps, I and others have been making an inappropriate assumption
regarding your point on praying five times a day. Is it your
recommendation that we pray, meditate, take a short period of time to
calm and clear our thoughts in a pattern of doing so five times through
out our day because you have come to the conclusion that a daily pattern
of doing so is more beneficial than fewer times a day, and that more
than five times doesn't appear to add any significant incremental benefit?
I apologize for the poorly written question.
