Baladi-rite prayer

Alright kiddo, have you ever heard of a special type of prayer in the religion of Islam? It's called the baladi-rite prayer!

So imagine that you're in a mosque, where people come to pray and worship. And during certain times of the day, like before sunrise or after sunset, Muslims gather together to perform different types of prayers.

Now, the baladi-rite prayer is a type of prayer that's specifically done in some parts of Africa and the Middle East. It's known for being very rhythmic and musical, almost like a song or a chant.

During the baladi-rite prayer, the person leading the prayer (called the imam) will recite different parts of the Quran (which is like the holy book of Islam) in a certain way that's unique to this type of prayer.

The people praying will often respond with certain phrases or words, repeating them over and over again. This creates a very special atmosphere where everyone is focused on their faith and coming together to worship as a community.

So in summary, the baladi-rite prayer is a type of rhythmic and musical prayer that's done in some parts of Africa and the Middle East, where people come together to worship and recite parts of the Quran in a unique and special way.
