- Nafila (recommended) and Wajib (mandatory) prayers
- Niyyat of Jamaat or Furada? (Intention of Congregational or individual)
- Imam Ali: Winter nights are longer, giving you more opportunities for Ibadat
- Nafila prayers are more of a personal program for spiritual development
- Whereas for Wajib prayers the emphasis is on Jamat to encourage social interaction
- Over 30 commands in the Qur'an to pray Salaat, but no Ayat about how to pray
- Salat-ul-Khauf: the only described prayer within the Qur'an. A special prayer when in the conditions of battle
- Are we absorbing the lessons of Islam when we pray namaz? People look at others during namaz asking "Why don't they go to their own [ethnic/cultural] mosque."

"The command of Salat will come from Allah, the method will come from the Rasul"
"When you go for Jamat prayers, there are no reserved spots for anyone"
