When Faithful Missed Friday Prayer Because Imam Overslept
Arab News ^ | 8 October 2015

Posted on 10/08/2015 10:02:30 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Worshippers at a mosque in Hail had to offer regular prayer on Friday noon instead of the weekly Friday prayer because the imam in Al-Borj failed to show up. After waiting for the imam, the worshippers decided to offer regular Dhuhr (noon) prayer.

The imam, it was found out, had overslept and that it was too late to find a substitute by the time he woke up, according to Al-Sharq daily.

The muezzin at the mosque led the worshippers for the noon prayer without a Friday sermon.

Worshippers voiced their displeasure about missing the Friday prayer.

Omar Al Haddad, the head of the department under the Ministry of Islamic Affairs in the region, said necessary action would be taken.

The imam was criticized but some people were also critical of the group of worshippers for failing to find someone to deliver a short sermon.

He can blame the Jews.

No doubt his flock can accept that.

Statistically the number of infidel beheadings experienced a very slight dip until the gaithful could be re-onboarded with their marching orders.

I heard Muslims were good at making alarm clocks.

How much of a drone do you have to be if you can’t even pray on your own without assistance? They certainly don’t seem human to me.

No doubt the imam had been enjoying a night of drunken debauchery, probably should be checking for a whole host of little boys, girls or goats who are suddenly traumatized.

I recall walking past a mosque at noon on Friday in Istanbul. I could hear the imam preaching, but I couldn't understand it. Nevertheless, it sounded to me like political rallies I'd attended. I never heard a sermon preached like that.

As children, my brother and I listened to Radio Havana on short-wave. We thought Fidel Castro sounded a lot like Adolf Hitler, despite the language difference. Mohammedan agitators sound the same.

Worshippers in Hail

That must be a typo.
