Only Allah knows if he excepts a late prayer or any prayer for that matter. He excepts our deeds as He pleases. But I do know that each prayer has a time and you need to do everything in your power to pray it on time. If you don't do it on purpose Allah knows your heart and knows your intentions. Remember half the deed is the intention. So you should make the intention to pray on time and do your best to do so. And pray to Allah that He helps you and excepts your prayers.

Refer to notes at end if you don't understand some words.\n\nThe following is a hadith:\n\n Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman reported that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said,\n\n"Prophethood (meaning himself) will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain, then Allah will raise it up wherever he wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood remaining with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, He will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a reign of violently oppressive [The reign of Muslim kings who are partially unjust] rule and it will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, there will be a reign of tyrannical rule and it will remain for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, Allah will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Then, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood." \n\nThen Hudhaifah said, "The Prophet stopped speaking." [As-Silsilah As-Sahihah, vol. 1, no. 5]\n\nScholars of hadith explain that the prophethood mentioned here is that of Muhammad (saw) and that what came next after that were the khulafaah (plural of khalifah which is the arabic for caliph) that followed the guidance of Muhammad (saw). Meaning they were on the right guidance and their rule was just and true (a right from Allah). Scholars explain that this refers to the rule of the four first khulafaah (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali- may Allah be pleased with them) about whom Muhammad (saw) said in another narration were the rightly-guided khulafaah. He (saw0 also said, "The Caliphate will remain in my nation after me for thirty years. Then, it will be a monarchy after that." [Ahmad, Tirmidhi and others, Sahih Al-Jami` ' As-Saghir no. 3341]\n\nThe next stage is explained in the parentheses (by scholars)- that there were Muslim kings after the first four khulafaah who were not khalifahs- but kings (kings meaning monarchy) who were partially unjust. Scholars have excluded several who were among these kings- because of their rulership being akin to that of the first four who were rightly-guided and because they were from the lineage of the Quraysh, the tribe from which Muhammad belonged to.\n\nScholars consider the third stage to be of that after the Ottoman Empire (whose kings/sultans were considered the last), after whom were tyrannical leaders put in place by the colonizers and the Chrisitan or non-Muslim nations. This is the worst of times when fitnah (temptations, falsehood, evil, oppression , etc.)  are near their highest.\n\nFinally, the Mahdi (this is a title given to the khalifah who will be from the first in the return of a Caliphate that rules following the guidance of the Prophet (saw)), an ordinary man, born to an ordinary women raised by ordinary men and living an ordinary life with the people of his time. "In reality, Al-Mahdi will be an Imam and a Caliph, among other Caliphs who rule Muslims with justice. However, what differentiates Al-Mahdi from other Caliphs is that he will meet Jesus son of Mary sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam." (excerpt taken from article). \n\n"Also, Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, will pray behind Al-Mahdi. Allah will give Al-Mahdi the ability to righteously rule the Muslim nation in the span of a night. He will fill the earth with justice, as it was filled with injustice. He will lead the Muslim nation to the second conquering of Constantinople and possibly Rome." (another excerpt taken from article).\n\n"The Muslim should not wait for the emergence of the Mahdi, rather he has to strive hard and devote his efforts to support Islam, and to do whatever he can for the religion. He should not hope and wait for the emergence of the Mahdi or anyone else, rather he should correct himself, his family and the people around him, so that when he meets Allaah he meets Him having done his

There are many forms of worship for Muslims.  We have short prayers (dua) for anything that we do.  Muslims are suppose to mention the name of God before doing anything, even if is just bismillah (In the name of God).\n\nThere is the belief in the shahada (declaration) that there is no god but God, and Mohammad is the Messeger of God.\n\nThere is Salat (formal prayer) that is performed 5 times a day.  Someone left you a link for that.\n\nThere is Sawm (fasting) during the month of Ramadan.  Muslims do not eat, drink, smoke or have sexaul relations from sun up to sun down.\n\nThere is Hajj (pilgrimage) A journey to Mecca to see the holy Kabba during a certian Islamic Month (dul-Hajj)  There are many rituals during this.\n\nThere is Zakat - something similiar to a poor tax.\n\nShahadah, Salat, Sawm, Hajj, and Zakat are the five pillars of Islam.  Everything in Islam is based on this five pillars.

Any day you are welcome. Wear something long sleeved and long trousers or a long skirt - try not to wear anything too tight. Take a scarf and drape it over your hair. Take your shoes off when you enter the prayer area - you will see easily where. Ask the Imam to explain some things about the mosque to you, or any other muslim woman who you see I am sure will be glad to help. You will be made to feel very welcome. You won't be allowed into the men's prayer area and men won't be allowed into the womens- but you are not missing much, they are essentially exactly the same. Ask any questions you want. Some mosques (the larger ones) have bookshops which are good. I think you will find it a very peaceful friendly place hopefully.

According to the holy book of muslims - Quran\n\nFor a Muslim, his faith is first demonstrated by the five daily ritual Prayers called Salah. These Prayers are so important that they are the second Pillar of Islam after the Testimony of Faith (“There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God”), obligatory for all, and they are the first thing the Muslim will be asked about on Judgment Day.\n\nFive times a day a Muslim is asked to stop whatever he is doing — be it sleep, work, or play — and make a ritual ablution before facing his Lord in Prayer. No matter what his actions, the most important thing to a Muslim is his relationship with Allah. This relationship is demonstrated and put into practice, as well as improved and increased, by the ritual Prayers. Only if the Prayers are sound and proper will the deeds be sound and proper.\n\nIn the Prayer, the Muslim faces towards the Ka‘bah in Makkah, the symbol of the Oneness of Allah and the unity of Muslims. He stands, bows, and prostrates to his Lord while praising Him, reciting some of the words He revealed in the Qur’an, and asking for His forgiveness and mercy. In doing so, the Muslim reminds himself of his position in the universe as a humble servant of Allah and of his total dependence on his Creator, Cherisher and Sustainer.\n\nWhen the Prayer is performed properly — with due humility and remembrance of Allah — it has a lasting effect on the person. It fills his heart with the remembrance of Allah, and with fear of and hope in Him. He will not want to move from that lofty position by disobeying Allah.\n\nThe Prophet compared this experience of making ablution and praying five times a day to having a river running in front of one’s house. If one bathed in that river five times a day, would any filth remain on his body? Likewise, the ablution and Prayer five times a day removes one’s sins and also prevents him from sinning.\n\nPrayers also affect the life of the Muslim by encouraging him to schedule his activities around their fixed times. There is some flexibility, for each time is actually a span of one hour or more. But the Muslim who is conscious of Allah will strive to schedule his life in such a way that he does not miss any of the Prayers — for example, by postponing a shopping trip until after a Prayer, or by taking a break from work, or by sleeping earlier so as to able to rise for the Dawn Prayer.\n\nTherefore, if one really believes in Allah, he will show it by his commitment to the five daily Prayers, and these, in turn, will help him to live righteously.

Yeah, it amazes me how many people rely on prayer alone to accomplish things. The only way you're ever going to accomplish anything or solve any problem is by taking steps to, you know, SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I can ask someone to pray for me that I'll stop procrastinating, and they can pray all they want, but until I bring myself to actually do it, nothing's going to change.

Islam ...it means a way of life...when you read and understand the Quran and the Hadith (the Prophet's teachings) you will come to realize that whatever was taught in Islam was preceeded by an event that needed resolving and Allah sent the message to the people through Prophet Muhammad so that they may lead a better life.  Islamic teachings go way beyond just prayers to Allah but also to his angels, messengers, and mankind.  He also taught us to deal with things in regular life such as finances, and will writing.  It teaches you to be kind to your friends, neighbours, and family, and give charity regularly.  There are so many aspects of the religion that just make sense at least to me and some others in the world.  If you really want a true feel for the religion, I suggest you read up on it yourself and if you have any questions than ask them so you can understand it better.  That goes with any religion.    Take care

Muslims have sabbath day, as you mentioned, on Friday. On that day all gather at mosque attend a sermon and prayers after that. Eventhough this prayer is compulsary unless there is some valid reasons, Islam do not forbid working rest of the day. These are the relevant verses from Quran\n\n "O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is better for you, if you know. " Quran  62:  9\n\n"But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful. " Quran 62: 10.

Someone has to earn trust, you don't just give it blindly.  If it is a muslim that I have known and have earned my trust then yes, otherwise, no.

If they pray for you then good for them....\nIF it some how does something good for you well good for you....don't look a gift horse in the mouth.\n\nThe thing is prayers are cheap and have no proven effect....actions speak louder than words...I believe the world would be a better place if people spent there time doing good for people instead of all that praying....Good deeds have  results....Prayer ...Well the results of prayer are debatable
