     I would like some water please, so I can do my abdest, and a corner in your thirty third house, so I could peacefully pray.

     Nic więc dziwnego, że w dyskursie wyznawców religii Mahometa podkreśla się obowiązek rytuału abdestu przed każdą z pięciu codziennych modlitw.

     So it comes at no surprise that in discussions between members of Muhammad's religion put such an emphasis on the required ritual of abdest before each of the five daily prayers.
