if it is out of your hand then fine, you can pray as soon as you are able to do so.

sometimes people sleep or forget or as you just said stuck somewhere where you can't pray..

but who really care about his prayer will manage his time to try to pray on time always.

it is not a simple challange but only those who really care about prayers and who really know how important prayers are will do it on time.

Wouldn't a God understand anyway being all seeing and that?

If I had 12 hours to live I'd spend it with the people I loved and write a letter to all those I couldn't be with telling them that I loved them. I've had a good run even if I died tomorrow. Made some people laugh and a few cry, in the end I was just some cells wired togeather in a clever arrangement and not designed to live forever. I find the idea of a finite existance reassuring really as it means we've done what we've done and we just ourselves along the way .

From a biologist's point of view:

Not sure if your talking about theological creation but you were actually 'created' by the successful fertilisation of an egg produced by your mother by a sperm produced by your father about a few minutes after copulation. You subsequently continued to grow and reach sexual maturity in young adulthood, when you can then repeat the reproductive process. You need to reproduce to be classified as biologically successful, though not all individuals need constribute to this process. By this process, in the long term, your species (humans) is maintained as a sustainable, self-reproducing population.

Having successfully bred and reared and nurtured your offspring you will further age (mature) and eventually die. The average longevity of our species is between 70 and 85 years, though if varies around the world.

When you die, you undergo autolysis (tissue and cell breakdown) and disintegrate, and eventually become totally mineralised (dust to dust and all that). From that time on (and for eternity, if you like) you no longer exist...you have had your life and had your time. The point of creation (successful parental copulation and fertilisation, and subsequent growth to adulthood) then was your coming into existence (beginning of your life), over which, you had absolutely no say.

Yes, life is too short...

Interesting question, Bison................. but I'd like a clarification please.

Tell me - is everybody going to die in tweve hours from now, or just me?

Makes a big difference to the answer, in my case...............

Why did your mood change? Is it because you don't believe that you will go back to life after death? Or is it because you believe in this but you don't want to be reminded? I'm just asking

Any human being doesn't like mentioning death. However, it's a fact and will happen to everyone. We muslims belive that we need continuous reminders about death in order to be motivated to do well in this short life hoping for a good reward in the hereafter?

I'm only mentioning our belief and I understand that many people may not be convinced.
