Expressions of Faith: Muslim taxi drivers
March 11, 2011 in Expressions of Faith by Karen Pulfer Focht
Observant Muslims pray five times a day. That means that if you are a Muslim cab driver at the Memphis International Airport, gathered in the break room waiting for the dispatcher’s call, and it is time to pray, you take off your shoes, lay your prayer mat right next to the tables and Coke machines, and you pray.
What if Christians set aside time on their schedules to pray every day no matter what? I look at these men and wonder what is wrong with us. I admire them for this and hope that their prayers are in earnest and not a babbling of words like many prayers become.
