Welcome to Free Minds Jeanne!

I understand what you mean. It is difficult finding a place to pray in the daytime and when you do find a corner you can never fully concentrate and take your time. It isn't about rushing an empty ritual. It is a personal connection with God that has to come from your heart and soul and 24:58 tells us when our private times are.
Do you pray traditionally?

God bless

JUST ASKING..

Peace,
Respectfully.

I believe there are two mentioned in The Quran - dawn and sunset, so i pray those but if there is time and occassion, i pray more. I pray shorter now that i don't have a permanent location but when i get one, then longer, God willing.
Needless to say, we should pray more and more.

Peace.
39:53 Say: ?O My servants who transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God\'s mercy. For God forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.?

Not exactly. I'm trying different things in order to figure out what is "correct."  I perform the positions in the order they were prescribed and recite the few things I've committed to memory--Chapter 1, some of Abraham's prayers, the tashahund (not the one with Muhammed). Once in the sitting position between sujuds, I meditate on the letters at the beginning of the chapters(usually Alif, Lam, Mim). Then I read aloud a few verses at a time from the Quran. I spend just over ten minutes. I have no idea how many 'rakas' I do now.
