Take tiny steps. If you try to reach a goal too quickly.....then you'll give up fast.
Here's a trick: Try praying namaz today at least 5-10 minutes before your regular time. For example....if Maghrib is at 7:55 and you have a habit of praying ASR at 7:40 when it's almost becoming time for maghrib......then try praying ASR 5-10 mintues earlier for a few days. And then gradually make the time earlier.
Pray Isha right after maghrib.......so that you don't have to worry about the hassle of praying it right before going to bed. Thay way you can sleep easier since you'll get the namaz out of the way.
Re: importance of religion in relationships
religious means alot of different things to everyone. just to be a muslim by birth and believe in allah can be religious, praying 5 times can be, or going the whole hog and turning into a wierd extrmist( which isnt good) can be seen as relgiousto some parties.
i find muslims the worst type. we always telling others to pray, do this and do that and look down on people who dont. yet we dont do half the things ourselves. we are probably our worst enemies. we are major hypocrites and no wonder we have to suffer across the world. we have 52 muslim countries, more than any other relgion, its thefastest growing relgioin, we have alot of power. but we dnt use it. instead we hand it over to our allies in the west....what muslims are united? NONE..
yet the saudis think they ebtter than their neighbours, we think we better than bengli muslim etc etc etc etc
we need to change.

listen, i'm also guilty of delaying isha until 2-3-4 AM. But when I make the effort to pray isha right after maghrib (like around 9:30-10:00) then I don't have to worry about it, it's done. The more late you sleep, the harder it will get to wake up for fajr. It's tough, but take tiny steps, and you'll get there.
Re: importance of religion in relationships
OK…This is quite motivational 
In my cell phone there is an option to set upto 10 alarms. 5 of them are set for 5 prayers…so every time my alarm goes off, I know its time.
This makes my job easier ( just a tip )
Re: importance of religion in relationships
i like ur post pm. except for the part me utilizing the qualities. but i pray inshaALLAH aisa he hoo.
hmmm
u know zobia, I have seen this in action in my case. You know you are too young to know that.
After few years when you look back at your accomplishments you would be able single out the reason which made you make serious progress.
like they say "have faith"
every thing we are told to do is for a reason.
playStation: It make me sad when ppl spend as much time practicing only thinking about "sawab"
Re: importance of religion in relationships
^ how come you are saying i am young? 
ps. ya u r rite…but not in that thinking about sawab part…cuz even having good intention or having intention to do something good, get u sawab. 
well yes ur right zobia and we must also folow religion in every aspect which unfortunately we dont do. so, we are actually hypocrites.
the definition of a religious girl to me is that a girl who follows religion in every aspect. she obeys elders in right things and rejects bad things. Moreover, she would be obedient to her husband in only Islamic teachings and actions but not in evil aims.
she knows what Islam says and she had haya in her personality which is a jewel of woman.
Moreover, she must also advise her husband in each and every aspect of life if he is doing something wrong against Islam. that is my definition of a religious girl and i like religious minded but without extremism people very much
that is also the responsibility of man also to be practical in implementing true Islam rather then to do everything himself and when it comes to women then take Islamic teachings of pardah for her by totally bypassing this teaching himself which is not only for women but first of all for men.
Re: importance of religion in relationships
does the five time prayer make you a better muslim? can you be pious without praying 5 times a day, ever heard of a prophet, siant, wali who didnt pray five times a day? why would 5 times a day be a fardh if it did no good to anyone? i mean zobia come on. what is with holier than thou attitude? prejudice can develop anywhere, this is like concluding all religious people are snotty and all non religious humble down to the earth folks. I'd say its important because when you enter a relationship , you are thinkin of raising a family at some point. what good is to come out of the partnership where such basic ideas collide?i truly dislike the implication that anyone who cares for religion or religiousity is suffering from superiority disorder.
praying is a good deed, being soft spoken is a good deed, absence of one shouldnt mullify the other. how can one say that a person who is soft spoken yet not a practising muslim a better person? do we get a special ilham to pass the decree?
Re: importance of religion in relationships
There are very intersting ahadith on this topic. One of them is "A sahabi(ra) told the Prophet(may peace nd blessings be upon him) that there's a woman who fasts all day and prays all night but hurts her neighbors with her words. The Prophet(SAW) said "Her place is in Hell".
Another one is "A man asked Prophet(SAW) three times "what is religion?" and for the three times Rasul Allah(SAW) replied "Good character and then the man asked again the same question and the Prophet(SAW) said "to not to become angry".
Niksik and Croquet great comments !
In Addition to Hareem:
Another Relevant and informing Hadith, in which the Prophet (pbuh) said:
''Indeed, a ruined person of my ummah is one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayers, fasting, and zakah. However, he had abused so-and-so, defamed so-and-so, unlawfully consumed the wealth of so-and-so, shed the blood of so-and-so, and beaten so-and-so. Thus, so-and-so and so-and-so will be given from his good deeds. If his good deeds finish before furfilling what he owes, he will be burdened with thier sins, then hurled into the Fire.''
Recorded By Sahih Muslim
I deduce and say from the above hadiths, a** truly religious person is one whom respects Allahs and the peoples rights.**
First of all, I'd like to say that please don't be so quick to pass judgement of women who wear hijab. To say that oh we don't know what goes on in their minds and hearts or behind their veils, is truly none of our business. Forgive me if I sound silly, but the fact of the matter is that hijab is an order in the Qur'an and that makes someone who decides to wear it taking a step toward Allah's commands. It takes a great deal of courage in this day and age to go out in a hijab let me tell you. I hope I can have that courage one day.
The other thing is that religion is very important in a relationship be it the husband-wife or parent-child relationship. And someone like me actually realized that when I had children and I had to set the right example for them. I can send my kid to a full time Islamic school but when they come home and see mom and dad not praying, they will question what they are being taught. So if we want to instill the right values in our children we first need to work on ourselves.
Also, no matter what we say, I feel that looking at where our society is headed, if I as a wife fulfil my religious obligations and my husband does the same, the chances are greater for a harmonious relationship and the constant me me me and I issue will become less. We will also be more tolerant. Most of what we are taught in our religion is common sense anyway, apart from of course the fardh, the 5 pillars.
The practice of religion in our homes can bring more peace and less conflict but if I portray religious superiority above my spouse there can be issues and vice versa. To be religious means to be able to rightly practice not pass judgement on someone else.
excellent comments niki sis!

true.
niksik..i dont wear Hijab...but if i will wear someday i know i will be wearning only for ALLAH..not for showing to people...so i think everyone who wear hijab at least they are better than me ...
yes kinzz! i fully agree with you. same is the case with men having beard. hijab and beard both need a huge courage from inside a person and religion is the most important thing and if we just leave it then we are actually not human but the beasts who just wander around here and there.
