Everyday
An early walk after morning prayer can change the shape of a whole day.

For those who rise for the dawn prayer, the time afterwards can feel like a gift: the house is quiet, the streets are empty, and the day has not yet begun to make demands.
Some use it to sleep again. Others have discovered the early walk — twenty or thirty minutes outside while the light changes, often with a friend or neighbour.
The benefits people describe are not dramatic. Clearer thinking, better sleep, a sense of having done something for themselves before doing things for everyone else.
The walk becomes a small anchor, and on the mornings it is missed, many say, the day feels subtly different.
