Short answer: find a clean, quiet spot, know the qibla and prayer times, and carry a compact prayer set so you are ready in a few minutes.
At work
- Ask HR or your manager about a quiet room; many workplaces have one or can offer a meeting room.
- Plan prayers around your breaks and add the times to your calendar.
- Keep your prayer set in your desk or bag.
At university
- Many universities have a prayer or quiet room: ask the student union or the Islamic society.
- A library study room or an empty seminar room can work for a short prayer.
At the airport
- Many airports have multi-faith prayer rooms; check the airport map or website before you fly.
- If there is none, a quiet corner by your gate can work.
- Keep your prayer set in your hand luggage, not in your checked bag.
Wudu away from home
Use a private washroom if you can, bring a small towel and leave the basin dry for the next person.
Qibla and prayer times
A prayer-times app shows the qibla direction and the times wherever you are.
What to carry
