Last week I took a group of about 8 girls from the Mosque to the NJ State Fair, alhumdAllah they had a great time. They enjoyed the overall fair, but my favorite part was the VIP service the Non-Muslim secuirty guards gave us when I asked for a place to pray!
I was thinking of just praying when we got back to the Masjid, but that would mean we wouldve missed Salat AlMaghrib. So I went up to one of the security guards, and I kindly asked him for a place to pray, and he responded soooo kindly along with his other buddies and they said sure.
I told them we would come back to them after we ate, so we came back and I told him we were ready to pray, with huge smiles, he along with like 3 other guards took us behind the rides (where noone can see us) and they made one guy leave the area, and then they stood as if they were guarding us while we prayed in jaamaa.
It was amazing subhanAllah! While everyone else was "enjoying thier time"
we were enjoying the prayer.
Dont ever make excuses to miss your prayers....
One of the most inspiring stories of a Muslim praying amongst Non-Muslims is that of
'Muslim Praying During 2012 Wayne State University Graduation"
