Prayers are often answered at times, including in the quiet of the night, when waking up from sleep, in the early morning, when listening to the call of the alarm, when awakening from sleeping, when it rains, when encountering a storm, and when traveling. Prayers before and after the storm are especially important. There are times when the alarm is triggered, such as when the storm is blowing and when people are not receiving any money, when they are not working, when there are no excuses, and for all sorts of other reasons. Morning prayers help start the day with memories, evening prayers end the day by apologizing. These practices make life full of memories.
