Islamic Prayer Stat Sheet

Ever wonder how to catch up on that 5 prayer a day requirement say after your bomb belt malfunctions or you spend a few years in an undisclosed super sekrit CIA detention center with no arrow pointing to Mecca.

I do, or actually not me, but anyway....

Not all mosques are the same. Allah grades a mosque based on its location. Here is what Allah says about the merit points (these merit points are exchangeable on the resurrection day).

1 prayer in Mecca = 100 000 prayers in an ordinary mosque; 1 prayer in the Medina mosque of Muhammad = 10 000 prayers; 1 prayer at Bait al-Muqaddis = 1 000 prayers…(Ghazali, p.1.192)

So see a prayer said while marching around the giant cube is like hitting a 100000 to 1 long shot at the track.

Fatwa?
