Muslims praying at College

Hi,

We've been given a prayer room but are not allowed to pray in it? The College says that it's a national rule that you cannot be late for lessons because of prayer or leave lessons for prayer.

Do you think Muslims should be allowed to pray and folllow their religion or not?

No. Not at college. Why should a college be turned into a mosque?

No even though im born to Muslim parents each prayer has a specific time in which you can pray so for example zuhar from 12-3 pm , they should pray when they get time in between and not skip lessons for praying.

they're lying i prayed through primary-secondary schools college and now uni, you can pray at college. obviously try not to be late but if you're a few minutes late so what. if they still ban you then go to class on time and when prayer time comes go to the corner and pray, when they chuck you out of class take it up with the governors and local MP if you must, it worked for me.

Can't you pray during lunchtime ..I am sure you can pray Zuhur on that time and as soon school finishes you can pray Asr. Not exactly on time but you can still pray during that range.

Assalamu Alaykum,

Dhuhur is fine. However, Asr, is at like 3pm now (the ideal time - start). I finish college at around 4.15pm most times and Maghrib is at like 4pm.

Just say you're going to the bathroom man, no biggie

Don't tell the Pakistanis though, they'll snitch on you so that they might be considerd western and developed lool.

No, Muslims should not be allowed to follow their religion.



.....??

Yeah, but the thing is, it disrupts other people's learning.

OP: it's not a national rule, but your college does have rules. Ours had a rule that if we were more than 5 mins late to the class, we weren't allowed into the class. You should have thought about these rules before you applied to study there. All I can suggest is using another time to pray (like someone said before, you don't have to do it exactly at a particular hour, but between slots), or lie to whoever tells you you can't go in, and say you have a free period . There'll be some way around it, I guess you just have to be diplomatic and speak to the school and come to some conclusion, or suck it up and accept that there are rules there for all students at your college, and you have to follow them.

I wouldn't do what this user says and go to the papers or MP or whatever, because you want the school on your side. Especially when you'll be expecting a good uni reference

Too much pains for the Muslim in UK i c...well in our country if any student wants to pray they can ask the teacher for a short break...well normally it happens when the class is a long period, otherwise students pray in between their free time.

The College isn't being turned in to a Mosque. Please re-read my original post and do not be ignorant. There isn't any need for it.



No, they shouldn't be allowed to pray? Are you Muslim? To be honest, as a Muslim praying is a fundamnetal thing in my religion. It is a must. I always pray and never have missed lessons and I'm always achieving top marks and grades!


Thanks! I'll try that, I'm never late though. Infact, the teachers are late! LOL
