Re: My observation
Nice discussion guys.....As far as Salat goes it definitely effects general routine of things. I was not a regular Namazi few years ago despite best efforts of my parents. But i did notice that when i started namaz regularly it had a very calming effect on me. I dont do it on time because of being at work but even then i think namaz makes you feel satisfied that someone with much greater power is watching over you and things no matter how they are will turn out right. So its a matter of belief ... thats why people from all religions who follow their religion tend to be calm because of their belief in greater being. This doesnt mean at all that you leave everything to Allah and just say your namaz and everything will turn out ok...off course we all have to do our part of the job and then pray and leave it to Allah because He Knows whats best.
Its true that not every organised person id Namazi and vice versa but it definitely helps and cultivates a disicipline
