Be sensible when you park your car for Friday Prayer

 

On Friday, as usual, Muslims go out early to perform Friday prayers in mosques because prayer is permissible only on the mosque, but in some Muslim countries you find yourself trapped in all directions, especially at the time when prayer is approaching, vehicles and cars everywhere, but let's stop a little here.

 

People who park in the middle of the rode at the payer time thinking its OK do this are absolutely wrong, they are distracting others and casuing discomform for many, take alone the delay they cause for everyone dricving away from the mosque.

 

PARKING ISSUES

 

We affirm that stopping vehicles in the vicinity of the mosque in contradictory ways is recklessness and indifference, and clear "selfish", especially when parking cars double or on the side of the roads causing obstruction to traffic. And that is contrary to the teachings of religion, values, respect for others, their times and circumstances.

PARKING ISSUES IN FRONT OF MOSQUES

 

With technological development, increasing urbanization and geographical areas, the growth and demand increased on the automotive sector, this has been leading to various negative effects such as:

• Traffic congestion.
• Increase in driver & passenger travel time.
• Increased the cost.
• Lacking parking facility.
• Not standing in the designated places.

 

But when parking near mosques for prayer, worshipers tend to stand next to the mosque to shorten the distance and stand anywhere, perhaps in the middle of the road and thus block traffic, and sometimes the parking space may not be suitable and thus cause a problem for other road users, people are more prefer to dive alone to their destination even though they need to spend hours to find parking.

 

Limited Parking Near Mosques

 

Friday prayer is a special event that occurs every Friday in the Muslim community. As a result, congestion occurs for Friday prayers the vehicles are parking wrongly near mosques, due to the lack of parking spaces. In normal days people tend to pray in the nearby mosque, but on Friday you find people looking for large mosques that are usually located in the middle of the cities, besides going out early to find an empty car park which means staying and exploiting the available space, which leads to closure of the main roads as a result of congestion.

 

In the end, 25% of people waste 15 minutes of their time searching for an empty car park, about 4 days a year. This is a really big time being exploited in unproductive processes, it also delays people in reaching mosques and praying on time which means many people are spiritually damaged, in performing their obligatory prayers, so be careful to park in the right places designated for parking and make sure to use the space in the best way, to provide places for others.
