Should they just not pray that much and concentrate on improving their standards of living?

Well, they got lucky because the west helped them discover and refine oil. No motivation to do it themselves.

This is an omission of some Muslims ,actually.
The real islam is to supmit & worship Allah in every way u can.
The concept of worship in Islam is misunderstood by many people including some Muslims. Worship is commonly taken to mean performing ritualistic acts such as prayers, fasting, charity, etc. This limited understanding of worship is only one part of the meaning of worship in Islam. That is why the traditional definition of worship in Islam is a comprehensive definition that includes almost everything in any individual's activities. The definition goes something like this:
"Worship is an all inclusive term for all that God loves of external and internal sayings and actions of a person."
In other words, worship is everything one says or does for the pleasure of Allah. This, of course, includes rituals as well as beliefs, social activities, and personal contributions to the welfare of one's fellow human-beings.
and unfortunately...many muslims misunderstand that & so................................

Islam is a practical religion, it answers all the answers of how to conduct oneself for any situation.
I personally believe that God thought it would mature to where after praying 5 times a day, muslims would come to understand that they should pray as a part of every moment of their life and once that happened, they would then not need to stop and pray because in essence, that lesson had been completed and they have moved on to the next level.
But that is coming from a non-muslim. I do think that blaming prayer for some people's laziness is not a valid question.

In the nearby mosque right here there's no seperate room for the ladies. Women there pray at the back of the guys, with a deferential distance in among. I bet if the guys pray even as and are in entrance of you, it's going to be adequate. How ever, if the men don't pray and simply 'take a seat round' i don't consider it is right. But that is my view, now not one hundred% certain if it is right. Can't you simply 'transfer' categories despite the fact that for the duration of prayer time? So all women out of the category room subsequent to you all to your magnificence room and all of the boys within the your magnificence room to the opposite magnificence? The concern could be solved than! Peace, Tiffy

I am Muslim
i wanna tell you that we pray only 5 times a day (every pray takes from 10 mins to 15 mins) but not the whole day as many people thinks
i wanna tell you also that the HARD WORKING is a main part of our religion.
i am sorry 4 saying that but this is the truth:
we work hard but earn nothing becouse we don't think in the future

Your question proves why the rest of the world thinks that we are so ingnorant when it comes to cultural and religious differences. Praying four times / day is not linked to poverty!

Nope, just 5 prayers a day each one lasts for like 2 minutes

They are stuck in the bondage of the Antichrist and/or Suicide Spirit. One can't get the blessing from God this way.
All they need to do is turn back to the God of the Bible and repent of their wicked ways and God will heal their land. It's a promise in the bible.
