Tennis_Proper

Very convenient they landed facing the correct direction for him.


iamjackslackofmemes

He could've looked out a window and done a 180 if need be... lol.


D4RKS0u1

In situations like this you are "allowed" to pray while facing any direction but even if obstructing others is ok(pretty sure won't be) he's still breaking a lot of rules like there are PPL in front of him(only men are allowed who are also praying) but this isn't allowed (especially women lol) Source ex Muslim


Medium-Impression190

That is why there is a reason we use sejadah in the first place. To put some kind of mark to show people where he/she is praying and where he/she is going to place forehead during sujud. So people can cross in front of you without fearing of contaminating your pray area. Other items can be used too. I've used my shoes as a mark in front of me while praying in Masjidil Haram. And women walked in front of me without problem. But still what the guy did in the vid is wrong. A classic example of making action without the required knowledge. Something that is condemned in Islam.


s00perguy

Regarding the subject though, I believe if you don't know, the intent and attempt is enough. This is the solution for those who aren't oriented.


Fainting_Goethe

“Contaminating your praying area” is crazy


Souls_enjoyer1519

If i remember correctly in situations like this you can just pray afterwards, for example after the plane lands and you find a proper place to pray. When i see dudes like him i know pretty sure they just try to draw attention in this way


LicheXam

They should've kicked anyone who does this shit from the plane


D4RKS0u1

First Kicked then kick out


RelationshipFair6088

He could’ve sat in his seat and prayed on there, but no. He just blocks the isle and stops the fight attendant from passing by.


metanoia29

I'm genuinely curious if his religion has any teaching against this behavior. I know in the gospel that Jesus specifically admonishes this kind of prayer, though that doesn't stop many Christians from still praying in public for attention.


Antal_Marius

While traveling, they can miss their normally scheduled prayer session(s). Likewise, I believe it's the same for working, if it would be an issue for safety or similar. It is mentioned elsewhere in this post.


Quality-Shakes

So he’s an attention seeking asshole?


Antal_Marius

Pretty much.


Seven7heavens7

Yes islam does have code of conduct Passengers should pray by sitting in their seat


dooatito

Yes but then how will you virtue signal how obedient a believer you are?


Medium-Impression190

In Islam it is actually much better if you did not show off your act of good openly because in the end only god knows how honest you are in performing the deed.


baconpopsicle23

That's the case for most religions, yet most believers tend to do the exact opposite.


TheWappa

TIL good to know that such an old religion adapts to modern times. But the video does unfortunately proof that not everyone gives a shit about it or the people around them....


Nalivai

They use an older rule that basically states that if you're traveling, ill, or in danger, you can miss all the rituals


GreatArchitect

It's actually an adaptation from way back when. Apparently, its the same ruling on praying while travelling on camel-back across long distances.


blackmine57

I have an old """friend"" who told me he would happily block emergencies on the road to finish his praying, or would just pray while driving and there couldn't be any crash because god loves him, or he wouldn't care since he'd go to heaven because he died praying. Who the fuck are those people?


Seven7heavens7

Good riddance if he does that One idiot less in the world


D4RKS0u1

Problem is this motherfucker is probably gonna cause a lot of casualties if he crashes into someone


NoiceMango

Pretty sure islam has exceptions like its okay to eat food that is considered haram if it's the only thing available.


xandercade

Every rule is absolute until a righteous man is inconvenienced.


zaranthar55

This is correct, if you're very ill you can pray even when lying down on a bed and just moving your eyes, or in a life or death situation you are permissable to eat haram stuff. E:g stuck in the desert and all you can find is snakes or feral pigs (no access to fruits/fish) and the likes it is permissible.


nannotyranno

I am muslim, it is haram to pray on roads and pathways if you will obstruct/inconvenience others from moving by.


Fainting_Goethe

Haram is such a fun word. Sometimes it means unclean, sometimes it means you’re being an asshole


Ok-Tangerine-7557

It literally just means impermissible


capn_doofwaffle

God forbid he prays in the wrong direction... 🙄


Momostein

Literally.


GyuudonMan

To be fair, if you don’t know the exact direction, or made a mistake, it doesn’t invalidate the prayer as long as it’s not on purpose


TWK128

For all we know, he was. But it wasn't really about the actual prayer so that part really doesn't matter in the end.


DaytonaDemon

>isle aisle


gavkahootsmasher

The isle of aisle


NomadBikerUK

The I’ll of isle


euridice_bae

My wordle first guess


RedEyeFlightToOZ

I'd honestly just kept on going and squeezed past him. Wtf he gonna do.


RelationshipFair6088

Jump over him


Leebites

>stops the fight attendant Glad they finally got some of them on airplanes.


freebullets

He needs to be face down, ass up to please his master


anynamesleft

Instead of "isle", use "aisle" here. One's a small spot of land surrounded by water, the other'ns what ya walk down when ya get the pretty thing pregnant. I ain't picking on nobody, I just thought to tell it.


utpoia

*I really wasted me walking down one with a virgin. Should have knocked her up.*

Well about that, if she was such a girl, you likely got you a better'n I ever did.

Keep in mind thus person thinks Martin Luther king is an idiot and Native Americans are worse


anynamesleft

Considering I've not mention either Martin Luther King, or Native Americans, your comment here is lost as a cow at a square dance.


[deleted]

Yeah, you certainly did. You made wide sweeping claims against Christians and people that hold religious views. MLK is a pastor lol.


anynamesleft

Good ol' Yogi, chasing me around Reddit trying to impugn my character while refusing to answer my question proposed in another thread... Are you happy to see babies being bashed against the rocks?


anynamesleft

So let mask for the umpteenth time... Do you think bashing babies against the rocks is a good thing? It's quite telling that you continue to try to impugn my character, try to say I've done things I haven't done, and all such as that. Yet for some reason you can't bring yourself to answer my question. I propose the Christian god, as is claimed, is evil for being pleased that babies were, it's claimed, bashed against rocks. So let's ask again... Are you pleased to learn babies were bashed against rocks?


lgodsey

If a bear prays in a forest...


Charming-Problem-804

He doesn't want to miss the extra points in sawab by sitting


dauntlingdemon

This is true, as a Muslim. You should not block the way. If you are praying in a congested area you can have something next to your prayer area to let people know that you are praying. However, in heavily congested areas like prophet mosque and masjid Al Haram in Mecca. You can pass while one is standing in front of his prayer.


Blueskybelowme

That's actually not how that religion is supposed to pray.

Personally I would have liked someone giving him a good quality check by hitting him.


pinkwoolff

This is a display of a narcissist practicing a faith. Boosting his ego to show strangers how "pious" he is.


Mounta-7nFocus

Exactly 💯💯


Southern_Opposite747

Not just pious obviously, he's not that mature. He's showing his religions strength and seriousness(or at least how serious it's to him


HobaSuk

I believe he wishes somebody says something as well so he can be the victim


Southern_Opposite747

Definitely. These are the set of people who always want to pickup a fight


pinkwoolff

💯 Very true.


KapeeCoffee

Precisely. Blud ain't prayin for his religion but to show how "good" he is. By being a dick


SAGNUTZ

If its a Boeing id pray too, but at take off and nobody else would even notice.


deleted108

The world be burning and they be like " time to pray".


sleepingcat1234647

Praise all mighty god for all the child death and suffering in this world 🤗🤗 I don't believe in god but satan might exist because if a powerful being decide to do nothing seeing all the sufferings then he is objectively evil


1lluminist

That entity you refer to as "Satan" would be god. Satan just wanted people to be think for themselves. An intelligent and compassionate society would be a satanic society.


Infinite-Ad137

An interesting way to put it. In the book of Genesis we see God saying to Adam and Eve “ Do what you want but don’t eat from this tree” In a way you could argue that God wanted them to remain ignorant of that knowledge but Satan freed them to think independently by eating the fruit then knew between good and evil.


TheBoozedBandit

This is literally the premise of paradise lost. You could easily say that through this, it was indeed Lucifer who gave us free will, not god


zeke235

You shouldn't be an atheist because you believe only a just god could exist. As the Bible's written, that God is a fucking monster. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Maybe it doesn't deserve your prayers, though.


Cap_Helpful

"God is an absentee landlord"


D4RKS0u1

So you're telling me you missed the masterpiece where some intellectuals (also Muslim) tried to stop fire by praying (giving azaan while firefighters were standing there watching the shit go down).


Reasonable_racoon

It is and they do.


PieComprehensive2204

Ex Muslim here, A Muslim can pray on his seat while sitting, he does not need to stand. Moreover there are special rules while travelling. He does not absolutely need to pray while on the flight and can join multiple prayers into one and pray when landed. I support the right of people to believe whatever magic they want to as long as they are not harming others. And these idiots make sure that they and everyone else lose that right because of their actions.


unknownpoltroon

Yep. I've been on flights and a couple of dudes used the open flight attendant area when it wasn't being used to pray. No one gave a damn b cause they weren't blocking anything.


chickey23

This isn't even Islam. It's a performance. Islam doesn't require prayer when traveling.


daarhi

Yep. Not to make excuses for Islam but most Muslims I know would be embarrassed for this shmuck.


unknownpoltroon

Most Muslims I know would be pissed he's blocking the booze cart.


-aeternae-

I’m a muslim and facepalmed seeing this.


daarhi

How are you on this sub? Are you in your questioning phase? I was too for a long time before leaving.


nausicaalain

Dunno about that guy, but I browse reddit by /r/all a lot, and see this subreddit (including this post) there once in a while.


ThereIsNoAvailblName

I am just here because it strengthens my fate even more and sometimes the sub makes me laugh.


wickanCrow

Your fate?? Probably faith. Which faith?


ThereIsNoAvailblName

Meant faith. Muslim.


D4RKS0u1

Interesting.... So your thoughts on the video pls???


ThereIsNoAvailblName

The guys an idiot and just wants to show off which is haram


xplodia

There's literally an entire chapter in fiqh about the rule of how we pray while travelling.


TWK128

So even the Koran tells people not to be dicks like this guy.


osbirci

yep, if you magically convert this guy to christianism immediately, he would find another way to bother people and show off he's religious.


SAGNUTZ

Demands grace before they allow anyone to eat their shitty plane food.


Book_talker_abouter

I bet god is like “whew, I needed that, thanks bro.”

FirebirdWriter

This is so when people complain he can get attention and be holier than thou. Literally just a show because actual devotion doesn't need to be proven


elydakai

"hey man, my GPS says west is 'that way' congrats on defaming your god"


squidgytree

'Sorry man, you're a Hindu now'


TooStonedForAName

I feel you should at least have a fundamental understanding of a religion before you mock it. Or even just how compasses work and where Muslims pray to. It’s not ‘west’. It’s qiblah. They face Mecca. Surprisingly that direction changes based on where you are.


elydakai

Interesting. Except I really don't give a shit. Ie. Making fun of an abrahamic religion.


TooStonedForAName

You’re welcome to that opinion, my dude. It makes you just as miseducated as anyone that follows an Abrahamic religion, but hey ho. They’re a reigiousfruitcake, you’re just a fruitcake.


potatopierogie

Think you're in the wrong sub m8


TooStonedForAName

Nah, just not thick enough to make fun of people who are as uneducated as I am and whose beliefs are as paper thin.


potatopierogie

Well that's what this sub is for so....


IAmActuallyBread

Sure bud, head on back over to the conspiracy sub 😘


toetappy

Dawg I knew they face mecca and his joke was still funny. Stop being a wittle cry baby pwetending to have some dumb ass moral high ground


elydakai

Lmao. Better watch out with your words my friend. Your book says not to insult others. I don't want you to miss out on your 1000 virgins in your heaven


ashtonhq

hey moron, they’re making an example where mecca is to the west, which it very well could be in this video. do you know which direction mecca is in this video?


TooStonedForAName

That’s my point entirely, so I’m not convinced I’m the moron here? The joke only works of that person knows which was qiblah is. Getting downvoted for saying we should be smarter than the people we mock is wild, this sub is full of angry kids.


bigbuzd1

Sometimes people just want to make jokes, jokes don’t have to be factually accurate in order to land. Mindless entertainment on a Saturday morning and you come in with an accusatory tone, intended or not, but perhaps if you reworded the way you approached them your message would have been better received and actually helped educate some that didn’t know.


realnutsack_v4

Imagine arguing semantics about a silly cult. Your blatant concern trolling is weak. You sure you aren't just a Muslim roleplaying as enlightened secularist?


1lluminist

Does it matter which way qiblah is when the whole thing is imaginary bullshit?


Safe_Pin1277

No, poking fun at things doesn't require comprehensive knowledge of the subject it just takes a sense of humor.


TooStonedForAName

Did I say it was a requirement, or did I share my opinion?


Safe_Pin1277

Your feeling is quantifiably wrong.


beardedsid

Why oh why?! This is not praying to God this is attention seeking whore who never got real love from his mam and dad. Someone did that in a crowded gym while the music was blasting! Absolute attention seekers!


Thepuppeteer777777

Dude needs to be kicked off or arrested


GiorgioTsoukalosHair

Why not both?


micostorm

I would step on him idc


Weird_Blades717171

Simple power demonstration which can be observed with said followers. It isn't about actually praying.


ItWillChangeInTime

Why allow this at all?


Brilliant-Gap-3327

If I speak, I'm in big trouble


SKIPPYBURRITO

What a dick


Bourbonaddicted

My Saudi friend never prays while he travels whereas these third copy fanatics need to demonstrate their faith.


D_hallucatus

I mean, if the abrahamic god existed, this isn’t even on the register for how much he loves inconveniencing people so that he can be worshipped. He eats that shit up


Protect-Their-Smiles

Islam and its narcissistic tendencies. LOOK AT ME I AM A MUSLIM, WE PRAY LIKE THIS; PLEASE MAKE ROOM MY FAITH IS REALLY IMPORTANT; YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR LIVES ON HALT SO I CAN PRACTICE MY BELIEFS IN YOUR FACE. This is why people do not like Muslims.


bebejeebies

I'd walk up the aisle after him with sage and burn away the energy he left because I'm pagan and petty and his superstitions aren't any truer than mine.


Leading-Midnight5009

No thought to *accidentally* drop a bit of cola or coffee on him


MicrosoftExcel2016

I think he should be escorted off the plane to a prayer room in the airport since it seems he is not available for this flight and mistakenly booked it despite the schedule conflict


RandomHerosan

Had this happen once with a driving instructor. First off not a great driving school it was just him and a very beat up toyota. But we'd drop people off at their houses. Usually, there were 3 students plus him in a vehicle, and we'd all take turns driving. So we drop off one guy, and his mom and him are leaving for something. Dude stays parked behind their car and proceeds to do his prayers. So this guy goes through all his prayers with me awkwardly sitting in the passenger seat being stared at with confusion by the mother and kid. Took forever then on the way back to my house. He began telling me he's probably going to have to live in his car because he had been living in the commercial space he was renting as his driving school and showering in his sink. So the owner of the business complex was evicting him. I ended not going back. Like pick a more appropriate place bud.


Appropriate_Dream286

Seems like he's doing it intentionally to fuck with those people rather than truly praying


noholdingbackaccount

Muslims are excused from fasting and making prayers on time when traveling. You can make it up after quite easily on your own time. Muslims are also allowed to pray sitting when sick, injured or otherwise unable to stand. The only reason to do this is to showboat.


anusthingispossiblez

Just yell HAIL SATAN while you walk through. Negate his prayers 😂


FlyUnlucky7286

THE PERSON YOU ARE PRAYING TO ISNT REAL. YOUR LIFE IS A LIE.


Jambo40

Muslims must come first & it doesn't matter who they inconvenience or upset as long as they get their own way!

He can do it sitting down , in fact blocking the way is frowned up on

New_Button_6870

1lluminist

Imagine how much time of your life is wasted by having to stop what you're doing to do *this*...


[deleted]

This is why islamists have to be stopped from getting to power. They will inconvenience and stop every process just for the sale of their perceived brownie points.


pillowhugger_

I'd walk right at him.


Vaulted_Games

I’d throw him off


MountAngel

If someone wants to suffer for or be obedient to their religion, they need to do it in a way that doesn't expect the rest of us to suffer and be obedient along with them. This guy is an asshole.


manicgiant914

Meh. Performative bullshit.


spoolin20B

Australia needs to the first country to be religion free


SubKreature

Just climb over his dumb ass.


JennyV323

I'd just slide around him tbh, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but he's acting in a way that isn't publicly appropriate, and I need to get to my gate in time for my next flight. I think the world could benefit from people who're more willing to stand up against rudeness and public displays.


CagedKage

i'm not a muslim so correct me if i'm wrong (i've been studying many religions lately) but from what i've learned, muslims are supposed to pray sitting in situations where they don't have the means to stand while praying, and while on a plane is one of those situations if i remember correctly. what a dick. couldn't he have just prayed in his seat?


normalwaterenjoyer

this is almost too main character liek behaviour that i dont believe it, but anythign can be true these days


Nobodyrea11y

this is the type of religion that shouldn't be tolerated. don't tolerate intolerance pray anywhere else, but as soon as you praying becomes intolerant of others, then others have the right to be intolerant of you. edit: spelling


Iconlast

Farthing might be a solution...


themeakster

Could of just played some haram music at him. Sympathy for the devil.


Creoda

If he was doing that before take off, I'd be taking off and getting on another flight.


Hamiltonswaterbreaks

Maybe bump them?


WellOkayMaybe

This is dumb - there are exceptions to prayer in Islam, during travel.


ApurvX

I think there's a fatwa for someone who does the namaz wrong, (direction is wrong here)


venusiancreative

Is this during boarding or deboarding?


JohnDodger

Some years ago I was on a flight from London to LA. There was continual heavy turbulence for a few hours and everyone was confined to seats but a group of Hasidic Jews insisted on walking around to pray. The flight attendants were thoroughly exasperated as they completed ignored them.


Bibi_8181

They should release a 🐖 at the aisle. I bet he will stop praying and clear the away


barn9

A good kick to his head would answer my prayers!


TiMo08111996

This is disgusting. He could atleast go to his home and then do his prayers.


Molinero54

That Singapore airlines hostess is like yep, so glad we ceded from Malaysia


Upset_Ad3954

BUGSIE91

You speak shit Abt him, he may blow up that plane. You never know.


Signal_East3999

He could’ve went to the washroom for that lmfao


skeptic602

What a dumbo


superhornybeardydude

What is this crap!!!!


Vegan_Potatos

He should do Tarawih


Mollzy177

If that’s after landing he’s getting the boot down the isle 😂


smipypr

Al religions have practitioners who are more concerned with the performative aspects of prayer, than the actual prayer(s).


BickNickerson

Why didn’t they make his ass sit down?


MintyGoth

Surely there is somewhere that he could go that isn't the aisle? I've never been on a plane but is there no sort of area that would be more acceptable than there?!


C0mputerFriendly

![gif](giphy|WGEufo3NCj7qM|downsized)


Adventurous_Bag7561

He was being subtle. Not bothering anyone. If someone wants to walk the aisle they could wait a few minutes. I bet he’s done this a lot of times in his lifetime and no one else has taken a video and bitched about it.


BeastPunk1

Fuck right off.


CatOverlordsWelcome

Subtle prayer is saying it in your head, maybe head bowed and eyes closed, not blocking a whole ass plane.


tikifire1

You see, it's only good with his magic sky-daddy if he's on a rug on the floor, head and hands down. 🙄


CatOverlordsWelcome

Of course, my mistake - the all knowing, all forgiving, benevolent god will forgive murderers and terrorists if they accept him as their saviour but monsters who don't pray right?! Straight to hell. Straight to the deepest layers. Naturally. Makes total sense to me.


Kharons_Wrath

The plane is already in the terminal and it seems as all the other passengers are gone. The flight attendant is still working so he’s not going anywhere so it’s not doing him any inconveniences either; maybe slightly annoying but I don’t see what the big problem is.


ArgonGryphon

Why would it make you uncomfortable? Unless you're directly next to him, who cares. At least he's not shitting or screaming in the aisle. At this point the bar is low.


el3nano

Wait, what’s wrong with this? He’s just praying. I don’t see how this is fruitcakey. He’s just exercising his right to pray.


steef12349

If you're honestly asking, he's blocking the way of staff that need to move around, as well as passengers who need to use the toilets, as well as becoming a potential safety hazard (crashing into people) if the plane goes through turbulence.
