Niyyat is done silently, but if you like you can repeat the word “Bismillah” (“in the name of Allah”) in your head to help you focus. When you pray, face the direction of Makkah (also known as “qibla”). If you’re outside the US or UK, find Makkah (or “Mecca”) on a map or visit a Muslim prayer website that will tell you which direction to face. After saying the Takbir, refrain from talking, laughing, drinking, eating, visiting the restroom, or anything else that would disrupt your state of prayer....

If the soil in your garden doesn’t drain well, water will puddle at the roots and can cause root rot. To make it easier to garden, pick a location that’s level and doesn’t have trees or shrubs that you’d have to work around.

Can’t find a piece of string the exact length? Try cutting a piece of yarn, twine, or cord yourself. Use a long shoelace to play the game if you’re in a pinch and need a quick way to pass the time.

If a loved one pretends he or she isn’t dying, and everything is going to be okay, realize that this is a defense mechanism and is misplaced hope.
