This morning, my wife woke up and stated, "I must perform Salah." She proceeded to the bathroom to perform wudu before her fajar prayer.
I follow Christianity, while she follows Islam.
As she went to freshen up, she discovered that the water wasn't running, which the city maintenance department had caused by shutting off the valve on our street.
She came back to bed and said, "I can't pray. Without water, I can't perform wudu."
I laughed. She asked , "why are you laughing?" I told her, "Sometimes, a man has to laugh to keep from crying. It is absurd ... you think you are unable to pray to the Almighty Creator without ablution, wearing a hijab, and facing East."
