Prayer helps us balance our deen and dunya. No matter how busy we could get with school, our five daily prayers would always come to remind us of our main purpose and remind us of our creator.

And the BurmeseAllah sort of met him one day and he said, Abdullah, I hear that you pray all night, you forcedevery single day. He said, Don't do this.
