#IslamFact #14

Everyone knows that Muslims pray 5 times a day, right?

WRONG! There are actually 4 seperate types of prayer:

-Fard (Obligatory prayer)

-Wajib (Required prayer)

-Sunnah (Recommended prayer)

-Nafl (Voluntary prayer)


1: Fard

These are the 5 main ones everyone knows:

  • Fajr: 2 Rakat, Before sunrise

  • Zuhr: 4 Rakat, Noon

  • Asr: 4 Rakat, Afternoon

  • Maghrib: 3 Rakat, Sunset

  • Isha: 4 Rakat, Night

These are obligatory, so missing them is sinful, except if you physically can't (say you're driving all day), if so you can do them at another time, but as soon as you can


2: Wajib

These prayers aren't part of the main 5 but are still necessary to do, so missing them are also sinful, although unlike the Fard ones you don't need to do them if you miss them unintentionally

  • Al- Watr: (1, 3, or any odd number of Rakat) done after Isha

  • Salat al-Eidein (Prayers of the 2 Holidays): 2 prayers done at Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha

  • 2 Rakat of prayer during Tawaf when you're walking around the Kaaba during Hajj

  • Jumu'ah: the special prayer done at Fridays, doing it replaces Zuhr so you don't need to do Zuhr on Fridays

    (Edit: except if you miss Jumu'ah, then you have to pray Zuhr instead)


3: Sunnah

These prayers are not necessary to do, but they are recommended as they count as extra good deed (so basically bonus prayers):

  • 2 Rakat before Fajr

  • 4 Rakat before and 2 after Zuhr

  • 2 Rakat after Maghrib

  • 2 Rakat after Isha (before Al-Witr)

  • Taraweeh: prayers done after Isha on Ramadan, you can do any amount of even Rakat you want, but the usual amount done is 8


4: Nafl

This is just voluntary prayer. Just pray whenever you want as long as you like, and you'll get good deeds all the same


There are also extra special ones like prayers done at funerals or solar eclipses or other events, but for the most part these are the 4 main types of prayer

So No Man's Sky had a big update today, and I've been having fun with the brand new Corvette ships.

This is just a quick try (testing out the new features) but it looks really cool, plus the whole autopilot/getting out of your ship midflight is so cool:)

#MonstrusoLabratories #3

Level 4 (The Warehouse) is complete

Visually at least. Mechanically there's still some stuff that needs to be done (I'm trying to make a controllable ceiling crane/claw machine) but the build itself is done :)

It has finally been done...

We have a question and we wanna know: What's your favorite snack while gaming? Complete the quest and you'll get 100 Coins!

I've been spending some time grinding out parts for Corvettes in NMS, and finally I've built...

THE EAGLE

Its design is based off Stealth bombers, and I must say it is MASSIVE compared to my first Corvette, and way more huge compared to normal starships

We're trying to decide on our 2025 Summer persona! (We're stuck between Cottagecore Conjurer or Gaming Goblin.)

Who will you be this summer? Make up your own Summer 2025 persona and add it in the comments!

#MonstrusoLabratories #4

Been quite a while since I posted, been busy with Uni and took quite a break from CtB development and Minecraft, but getting back to making Monstruso Labratories

Getting started on a new section...

The Dragon is done

I've dubbed him... THE THUNDERSHOCKER

(Yes this drawing was entirely done in PowerPoint, also yes I just got a 4k image of Earth because I didn't want to spend that long on painstakingly making a realistic Earth)

Pretty sweet stuff ;)

It’s like…really really hot outside 🥵

Favourite Enemy Design?

Gotta go with BTD6's Dark Dirigible Titan (or DDT), somehow they made a balloon of all things look threatening
