The previous nations’ prayers were not valid except in their churches and synagogues, and they also had to purify themselves with water. So Allah made it easy for this ummah and granted them ease, distinguishing them with specific features, among which is this great feature: that Allah permitted them to pray when the time for prayer catches them in any place.
