It's not a good idea to create threads just to instigate people and start flame wars,it shows your level of maturity.
On a side note this is what happened in Karachi today.
KARACHI: The Sindh government’s call for a “complete lockdown” on Friday from noon to 3 pm was defied by some mosques as congregational prayers were held as per routine.
In the Liaquatabad locality of the city, unrest was witnessed after the congregation ended. People came out on the roads and harassed and assaulted police officials deployed on duty in the area after a mosque’s cleric gave a ‘ruling’ against the government imposed lockdown.
Following the incident, the Karachi police chief said the cleric had incited the people against the government’s decision and legal action would be taken against those responsible.
Majority of the people who attended the congregations and the prayer leaders who led them were of the view that they had left the current situation to the “will of God” and no harm would befall them unless it was Divine Will.
“The government and police are making statements to create a sense of fear. Nothing will happen. Karachi is a city of 20 million, the government can not implement its decision in every nook and cranny,” said the prayer leader of the Jamia Mosque Quba.
Out of the four mosques in the area, only one was open for Friday congregation.
Despite an announcement from mosques to pray at home, around three to four dozen people attended the congregational prayers at Jamia Mosque Quba.
During a visit to certain areas, including DHA Phase 1 and 2, Qayumabad, Junejo Town, Akhtar Colony, Kashmir Colony, it was witnessed that the majority of mosques were closed.
The few that were open, witnessed thin attendance compared to a normal Friday congregational prayer.
A heavy contingent of police and Rangers personnel were also deployed in front of the New Memon Mosque and some other areas in Karachi.
Reports from different areas of Karachi also suggested that the majority of mosques followed government orders, however, some continued to hold regular prayers.
“Baitul Mukarram Mosque is in front of my home. It was closed, so we prayed afternoon prayers at home,” Rizwan Siddiqui, who lives Gulshan-e-Iqbal told The Express Tribune.
“We were only five people at the mosque praying. We had already informed the area’s citizenry to not attend Friday prayers as there is a ban on crowds assembling.,” said Qari Abdul Basit of Siddique Akbar Mosque in the Akhtar Colony locality said.
In other towns and cities of the province, including Sukkur, Larkana, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas divisions, the doors of most mosques were locked with only four to five people, including the prayer leader, allowed to pray.
But in rural areas, especially in villages, the ban could not be implemented.
“We have prayed Friday prayers in our Jamia mosque with the same amount of people,” Abdul Hanan, who lives in a village in the Kamber Shahdadkot district, told over the phone.
“The partial ban is only in cities and towns, people here pray five times a day without any fear,” he added
