What happens when a muslim prays in a public area in US

[third eye]

just to see people's reaction....and show no one is as frightened as some state!


Do they pray even when not in public? No hypocricy there...you guys should be proud that the secular model stood the test!

Since I still @ work , I cannot see the clip.

I maintain that one follow the rule & conventions of the land where you live.

What if a Hindu/christian prays in public at Middle East/Pakistan?

Hypocrisy?

God can be worshiped anywhere . Why for everything there should be some issue ?

The point that you missed altogether was the respect that the western people give to you if you perform prayer. This is something you will not find in our own land ,a trait of our prophetSAW which we have lost . I myself along with a cousi n of mine have once prayed on the footpath in central london due to time restraint. No one said a word. We as a family and friends have often prayed in parks in jamaat and it has caused no issues. It is an evidence of the tolerance of the west and its people towards all religions. We now Organize Eid in the local Park and it is like a huge Mela and everyone comes along even the mayor and the chief of Police. The police really enjoty the food at the stalls and the hospitality of the people as the mosque affiliated shops never charge money from Non mulsims as a form of Daa wa

I remember someone telling me that when there was no prayer area in my uni, they used to pray in the hallway and that led to the admins to dedicate a prayer area for the Muslims...

Yet you had the audacity to paste this:

Brother there is every reason to pray in public.Ypou have the best gift from Allah in HIS Quran our Beloved Prophet(SAW) His SWT deen which is without doubt the best in the world. Why then do you want to hide it. i want to tear my heart out and show the world what islam has done to it. No man!! to hide this beautiful religion is the biggest travesty in my mind. Allah never intended His deen to be a personal affair, it was never intended for it to be confined to Masajid or the house. Why else would He SWT call our Beloved Prophet SAW "Rehmatul Lil Aalameen". Allah has made the whole world a masjid for Islam. So there is no resteriction on performing Salat on pavements

I have no issue with public display of devotion as long as its not an inconvinience to others. Eid or diwali or christmas are once a year occasions, so everybody can join in. Praying every day is personal thing. Its for primarily personal benefit.
Would I be so selfish to devoid others rights for my personal benefit? nope. Most dont complain because its not nice to complain about such things.

The country I come from people are generally inconsiderate to each other in public place. People rush towards public transport for example. Here people can afford to be conscious about others so I dont see how public praying fits in.

So does the land of the law not allows you to worship ?

Pakistanis and many a muslims are A SHOW OF when it comes to praying---. They love their public display of praying----whereas praying is a private affair between man and God / women and God---muslims have placed prayers in a showroom

Allah said no one can know the intention of another except ALLAH...you playing God?

Not sure what society you live in but it is really sad!

How sure are you people dont pray in public coz they are afraid to miss it...I dont think everyone is as narrow minded as you

 

[Kloitra]

In public ?

Sometimes situation doesn't allow you to get a private space for worship. A devout Muslim would have to pray at 'odd times'. He may or may not find a not so public place. Besides, their praying is hardly obtrusive.

Thats why I pasted this.

Coz you cant see the video but had to bow to your ego/ ignorance and put in a say?!

 

[Hindustani78]

In public ?.

Why it would bother anyone , if someone pray for 5 mins in some corner ? law of land doesn't like anarchy but does praying comes under that ?

American Muslim is praying in America . What this has to do with Saudi Arabia, India or any other country ?

The video is about how people treating when a Muslim in praying in public.. Can you imagine anything like this happening in Saudi Arabia or any other Sharia implemented countries?

The point is that nobody has the right to block a public right of way for others due to their own private ritual. It is inconsiderate at best, illegal at worst, and totally unnecessary given that other alternatives are easily available.

What rights have been affected ..kindly do share

The country I come from people are generally inconsiderate to each other in public place. People rush towards public transport for example. Here people can afford to be conscious about others so I dont see how public praying fits in.

It was a video to show the west is not suffering from Islamophobia unlike Indians love to think and bring up!

Dont see no police or anyone calling the police ...why are you trying to do the work of police?

Again what this has to do with other countries ?

If you do not understand what I am trying to say then why bother quoting me?

Again what this has to do with other countries ?

I am asking whether this can happen in any Islamist countries? You know that respect is a two way street..
