I'm pretty sure Bersat Berisha is a Muslim.

Wonder what he'll do on Sunday - looks like the HAL Grand Final overlaps with Prayer Time?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh really? How so, Mr TRUEANGLO JOIN DATE 20/04/2012 ????????

these times change throughout the year, so they are not always the same



Muslim players still pray, but then it also depends on how relgious they are. Now look at the times above, they are the prayer times. So if you playing a football match at 4pm brisbane time, your game will most likely finish at 6ish. Seeing as the last prayer is scheduled for 6:40, you have 30 minutes left to fulfill the prayer that is at 5:26. So straight after the game, you run off into the change rooms and do your prayer.

I know for Hashim Amla for example, he has time in between innings to do his prayers, or he would call on a sub if he was fielding and if he is batting, would retire hurt or use the drinks break as the chance to fulfill his prayers. A lot of it comes down to how religious the player is too.

I like this tweet from Dale Steyn.



It shows that Hashim Amla will do his prayers in the change room too. We not asking for a Muslim specific prayer room, it could be any room. There are rooms that go unused in stadiums and even if it has to be a newly built one, it dsnt have to be sooo big.

To those saying dont mix religion and sport, well weve been praying at games for years and you havnt noticed, we asking for a small room in a massive stadium that would not affect your lives in anyway. If anything it would mean more people could attend games and fulfill their religious duty, which means bigger crowds.

Also, its got nothing to do with Shariah Law, dont bring it in to this.

Considering no A-League club owns a stadium ,it's an issue for governments.But if Muslims get a prayer room ,I want one too so I can worship my sun god thankyou.

Hell have time, just like Adnan. If worse comes to worse, Islam is accomodating. Ive explained it in my previous post how they have time, but if they dont, then after they perform the later 6:40 prayer, they perform a catchup prayer for the 5:26 one. The catchup is something that is not encouraged but is allowed if you are unable to perform your prayer at that time for a valid reason, such as work, sickness or war or something like that.

We could use the same room, the muslim room doesnt have to special or anything. just some carpet with a cupboard that has mats.

People may not be aware that this is part of a wider move by the AFL to better cater for patrons, including the provision of creches, kids' play areas and even the provision of blankets for older fans if it gets cold.

This was on the front page of one of the Melbourne papers recently

to my way of thinking, the provision of prayer rooms is just an extension of providing better amenities to your fan base, or potential fan base, you want to discourage patrons, not discourage them

Clearly a hot topic that can overflow with emotion, sorry guys but this ones done
