Probably to pray her rosary. It can be seen as a form of meditation. A type of mental clearing house. Most Muslims pray five times a day. I worked with about 30 when 911 hit. They were Pakistani on H1b visas. The FBI was soon banging on the door to interview them. I have eaten Halal many times. I like the way goat is done. I have seen prayer rugs rolled up in offices. Once I almost crashed an evening prayer meeting. I opened a conference room and they were getting up from prayer. One guy I worked with disappeared at lunch on Fridays. I think he went to Mosque. It is like a Muslim Sabbath or Shubbat. Look forward to your reply. Is magnetic East ok. It is off a few degrees.

You should try to pray towards Mecca as it says in the Quran. I'm glad you posted about Muslim prayer. I ought to be ashamed because the last several days I have missed some prayers and need to get back to them.

My son's in-laws go to their house of worship (jamatkhana, like a mosque but specific to Ismailis) every evening. I don't know if they pray through the day at work.

Yesterday when traveling, DH and I stopped at a rest stop and there was a man and his wife there who got out of their car to pray (he had a prayer rug, she was wearing hijab, so I assumed....). They did this in 100 degree heat. That's dedication!!
