What's wrong with this picture?


This mosque-shaped alarm clock plays the 'azan' (Muslim call to prayer). Muslims observe their formal prayers at the following five times a day:

Fajr (pre-dawn): This prayer starts off the day with the remembrance of God; it is performed before sunrise.

Dhuhr (noon): After the day's work has begun, one breaks shortly after noon to again remember God and seek His guidance.

'Asr (afternoon): In the late afternoon, people are usually busy wrapping up the day's work, getting kids home from school, etc. It is an important time to take a few minutes to remember God and the greater meaning of our lives.

Maghrib (sunset): Just after the sun goes down, Muslims remember God again as the day begins to come to a close.

'Isha (evening): Before retiring for the night, Muslims again take time to remember God's presence, guidance, mercy, and forgiveness.


However ... if you are Muslim, why do you need to "order now for Xmas"???

Maybe its for "new-age" muslims. My old roomie's family celebrated both the traditional Muslim events and Christmas (they put up the tree and gave gifts because it was fun... nothing to do with Jesus)
