    It is Maghrib time, and my whole family have gone to say salah. And I have gone into my room. God I feel awkward right now!

    So whilst they are using their time to perform Islamic rituals, you are using it to perform anti-Islamic ones?

    Ramadan is the only time that my siblings act remotely religous.  After opening the fast everyone goes off to read Magrib.  I just go to my room and twiddle my thumbs for about 5 minutes.  Or it could be a good time to do some tidying.

    I'm not going to taraweeh - I have got better things to do for an hour and a half - sleep. And taraweeh is not fardh anyway, and Muhammad made a point of not going to taraweeh every single night. So it is not like anyone is going to have a go at me for not going to taraweeh.

    But I can eat on the sly though, but like Shahid, I will be watching my back!

    Maghrib is the most annoying salah, because everyone prays at the same time so you do seem like an odd one out if you are not doing it. At least with the other 4, you have a bit longer so not everyone prays at exactly the same time.

    Women pray that god-awful back breaking abomination as well?Huh?

    Funny story about Taraweeh, in Syria there are 3 types of Taraweeh praying mosques, ones that pray 20 ruk'as according to one school and ones that pray 8 ruk'as according to .another. In both types prayer usually takes around 1h20mins-2hrs.

    There is a third type for the lazy and "busy", in these ones the Taraweeh takes around 10-15 minutes. These mosques are usually packed in comparison to the other two types, I would also say that the proportion of praying folks that go to this type is roughly 1/2-2/3 of the total praying (male) population! They are called "Rocket" mosques. You can figure out why

    Religious hypocrazy at it's finest

    Neither has any other woman in my family even the most devote prayed it. Even my salafi step mum.

    The worst type is the 8 rakah one! When I used to go to Green Lane Masjid, that is what they do there, and it really kills you, because each rakah takes absolutely ages as it is divided in 8 and not 20! What I did last year was go to a 20 rakah mosque and then leave after 8!

    When I was younger I used to read taravee at mosque with the jummat, listening to the Quran every single day of Ramadan.  I read the whole 20 rakat (not just read 8 rakat and then run off).  

    A lot of the naughty kids my age just couldn't stand still for so long, and they used to mess around at the back while everyone else was praying.  I was one of the good boys who behaved myself and prayed properly.

    This slowly fizzled away some time during my teens and I stopped going.

    The 5 Salat are compulsory, mate.

    Sunnah in the sense of "extra" acts of 'Ibadah are not compulsory.

    But the 5 daily prayers definitely are.

    Prophet Muhammad said: "Ma bayn al-kufr wal iman tark al-salah" (That which is between disbelief and faith is neglecting prayer!)
