The statement With God, all things are possible is not, as the court stated, a uniquely Christian thought. In fact, a similar phrase is used many times throughout the Qur an, Islam s revealed text. In God We Trust on American currency. We also accept and support the views of Ohio officials who stated that the motto was never intended to promote or advance a single set of religious beliefs. A Muslim family has launched a new service to call believers to prayer on their mobile phones.
Prayer times change every day because of the changing times of sunrise and sunset.
The site's owners, the Patel family of Preston, are offering to send owners of Internet mobiles the namaaz, or prayer times, as a text alert. The service has been launched because noise restrictions in the West mean that traditional azaans cannot be broadcast. Pressures of modern life mean that increasing numbers of the nation's two million Muslims find it difficult to take time to pray, but this is also because they are not reminded by a muezzin. Preston Borough Council is among the bodies that advertise on the site which is managed by Bilal, Shahida and Sufia Patel. It's not prayer for its own sake though.
