Medieval Islam

Fahim, my husband, Muslim, and fellow AW person, says:

The way things were done in medieval Islam will be no different than how it's done now unless there's something social or cultural happening with a particular group of people. Islam itself says nothing about the order of lining up to say prayers. It's all random - whoever comes in first goes to the front, etc.

And he's asked me to type it out since he's gone to pray.

Sounds like a perfect point of conflict I might steal: one character wants to exert influence of his station, while others aren't in a position to resist or complain.
