How to Pray during the flight. I'll just go over that quickly,
because that's not easy to find a room, the way you pray in a flight
is timing wise, you go by the time that you are experiencing at that
point. So you don't go with your timetable from here. And now that
you consider the timetable of your destination. So now this is
whether you're going from Russia or anywhere else, whatever you see
outside the window, that is what you have to do. So if you see sun
setting outside a window, it's your Maghrib time. So if you're
going towards Arabia, you're going to be going into time, so it's
going to be much quicker, right? Because things because the earlier
than us, so it's just going to be much quicker. If you're going
west, it's going to just take longer, like you could go from
here at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and get to after seven
after an 11 hour flight. You can get to California, and it'll still
be three o'clock in the afternoon. Right? So you know, you're just
like three hours, but really going the other way. It goes much
farther faster. So if you see it's done outside, you'd have to
prefer.
Right. So that's the way you do it. Now, how would you pray?
Normally? I think Saudi Arabian Airlines, Saudi airlines, they
have a little place for prayer as far as I know. Right. But other
airlines, they don't have a place for prayer generally. So how do
you pray, if it's a large flight, one of those big jumbles, they
will normally have a lot of galley space at the back or in the
middle, where they do the food and things like that. And if it's not
mealtimes, then normally they find about you people going there and
putting their blanket down and praying on there. So Kybella is
very easy to work out nowadays, in these flight entertainment
systems, they have directions, they have a map and shows you so
you just work out where Saudi Arabia is, and you face in that
direction. And you pray that if you are going to a Middle Eastern
country, generally, you're probably going to be flying
towards the Kibler anyway. Generally, if you're going any
Middle Eastern flight airlines, Jordan,
Gulf
Emirates, then you're generally going to be flying in that same
direction. But just check on the map. It's not difficult. And if
you can't work it out, as somebody, they're very helpful
I've had on United Airlines, I've had them come and wake me up for
the next Salaat. Because I told them, and they walked out, they
asked the captain what we was given, and this was like long time
ago, 20 years ago, right from that time, and then they're quite
useful. They're quite, they're quite helpful.
Now, if you can stand and pray, it's not mealtime and so on, then
stand and pray. It's about what favors flight nominee to the
Middle East from here. So it's not that long. So sometimes there's
not that much time, if it's a smaller flight or whatever, if you
cannot find a place to stand and pray. Now, it's going to be a
hedge flight. So most likely is gonna be lots of hedges. And you
don't need to feel uncomfortable that you're the only one or one
out, right. But what you do is, if you cannot stand and pray, then
you sit and pray in your seat, and you could then pray in any
direction is going because you missed the father of standing, you
could sit and pray in any direction that the flight is going
on. But then you have to repeat it. The masala here the ruling
here is that if you are prevented from doing a father of the salaat,
what the standing is, is an integral part of the Salah. If
you're prevented from that by others, then you just do it and
then you repeat it afterwards when you get on land.
If you're prevented through natural reasons, like had like
feeling dizzy, like in a ship or something, then you don't even
have to repeat it. Right because that is not an influence from
others. It's it's from up there. Right. So you sit and pray and
then you just repeat it afterwards. And you obviously you
will be a Mustafa. So you read to and you don't have to do your
standards if you don't want to. However, when you are sitting in
your flight,
the province of Allah Azza mula Hadith very clearly mentioned that
when Rosa lorrison was outside the city, he would sit on his animal,
and he would make knuffel prayer in whichever direction that animal
was facing, even if it was not towards the Kaaba, that is
permissible, wherever you are, as long as you're outside your city
limits. You can pray Knuffle prayers, sitting down with
gestures, right with gestures. And
I'd like to explain that when you sit and pray in your seat, you
don't have to move your back at all. This is where most people are
confused is how to do your record. And such is
the way to do your record such that that's where lots of people
are confused when you're sitting and if you're not doing such
though, on the ground on the floor, right? Then you literally
just sit, you read what you have to then you bow your head slightly
for Roku and you buy more for such
while you're sitting down. You don't have to go in the front seat
and bang, you know and go towards the front. You don't have to do
that.
Right. The only time you do
record like that is when you are going to do a search, then you're
sitting down and pray. Then you'd go down for record as much as
possible you get back up and then you go into such that because
you're going to do a proper search though. But when you can't do a
proper search, are you sitting in your seat? This is even when
you're sitting praying on a chair, when you see people, you see all
sorts of things, right that people are doing in the masjid, you just
have to really move in your head. Because it says EMA you might
means to gesture with your head.
In henna is where you have to bow down in Arabic. So that's the way
to pray in the in the plane. So when you got time and you're just
sitting then you have all do then just pray like that.
Pray nothing press sitting down. Whichever direction you're in is
the Sunnah of Rasulullah selasa at least do it once in your life if
you can
