Video is going viral after a few Muslims took some time out on a
train platform to conduct their “obligatory” prayer. However, their
faith was put to the test when the train started to roll during their
time of worship, forcing them to make a choice.
It is unclear where the video took place, but it appears
that a few Muslims had a few moments while waiting for their train when
it came time for their obligatory prayer. The group of men laid out
their prayer rugs and began their ritual. Unfortunately for them,
things were about to go differently than they expected.
Just a few seconds after starting, the train whistle could
be heard going off before the train began to glide down the tracks. With
onlookers watching their dilemma, the men could be seen speeding up
while being laughed at.
Just like that, a few of the Muslim men ditched their prayer
to Allah and hopped on the train. The others who stayed would all
eventually do the same, as they feared missing their ride. One man even
forgot his shoes and had to come back for them before trying to catch
the last car on the train.
As it turns out, this train doesn’t wait for the Muslim god,
and it seems like Allah wasn’t exactly all that important to the men
when it came to what they had to do here on earth. That being said, it
seems that Muslims have set a precedent for themselves to justify such a
circumstance.
In principle, it is impermissible to interrupt
an obligatory prayer abruptly before finishing it. However, if they knew
that they would have missed their flight or train as you have mentioned
in the question and their tickets were non-refundable or they would
have faced trouble or hardship as a result of being late for the flight
or train, there is no harm in interrupting the obligatory prayer before
finishing it.
My only question is, what is the point in having an
obligatory prayer if it’s not really obligatory? Oddly enough, it seems
this isn’t the first time, as another video depicts an eerily similar
circumstance:
With the world around them turning on their religion, it’s
funny to see Muslims demonstrate the value of their faith. As it turns
out, at least for these guys, it’s just as worthless as we view it to be
– at least when it comes to missing the train.
Keep this in mind the next time Muslims are making demands
to have others inconvenienced for their “obligatory” prayer. It doesn’t
seem that obligatory at all. So, to sum it up, it’s okay to
inconvenience others for this ritual, but not themselves. Islamist
supremacy, much?
