These days, videos are being circulated on social media showing the practice of grou prayer on the sides of roads and streets in Western countries,We do not see that this prayer on the side of the road has any relation to religion and its texts, Even if religion permits or forbids this, the position is the same regarding this degenerate matter, which is not in line with human civilization, but rather is very much in line with barbarism, It is an attack on public affairs, and a clear violation of all positive human laws.

The phenomenon is new and strange, whether individual or collective, and practicing it in the way it is done is nothing but an unwarranted provocation, It is a new innovation of hypocrisy and pretense and a display of extremist tendencies, It is a hybrid bid against worship in temples, and an attempt to inform the people of the countries to which street worshippers have resorted that they have succeeded in taking over the streets and turning them into mosques or places of worship, even if some consider practicing religious rituals on the side of the road to be one of the signs of piety and faith, this faith in the way these people practiced it is reprehensible and forbidden in all societies of the world.

  It makes no difference whether some consider these practices a conspiracy against religion or a conspiracy by religion, Regardless of all that, it is an ugly practice, no less vicious than murder or suicide, It is a folklore of suicide and harm to others and to oneself as well, and a disgrace to the religion concerned, Blocking the road is one of the practices of highway robbers, or what is called in religious language “armed robbery”!

Imagine worshippers praying five times a day in the streets, blocking traffic, What would happen? More importantly, imagine the thoughts of this worshipper as he prays in front of a bus, potentially risking being run over, What feelings does he have towards others? Does he feel love or hate? Forgiveness or revenge? Respect or vengeance? Why would this worshipper seek revenge against a city or community that embraced and helped him? Did his prayer earn God’s favor and blessing? What about the reaction of others to a believer praying on the roadside and obstructing traffic? Would deporting him, or demanding his deportation to his country of origin, be an injustice? These are many questions that require many answers.

   Regarding prayer in general, it can be said that it is a “toubza” (body  position of prayer), nothing but hallucinations that make the worshipper think that through it he communicates with the imaginary, greater hallucinatory God, Therefore, we have never seen any tangible benefit from it, meaning that, by virtue of its nihilistic result, it is a farce, especially in camel-like societies, Moreover, the {toubza}  prayer is not specific to the sect that currently imposes it, but is transmitted from other superstitions whose source the worshipper does not even know.

What has been mentioned is not the main problem, The real issue lies in the fact that prayer is inherently an “obligation,” which is essentially a form of coercion,The greater problem manifests itself in the consequences of abandoning prayer, According to the believers’ religion, abandoning prayer is considered a crime against the faith, based on the concept of “apostasy.” Those who abandon prayer are to be killed, We have observed, for example, through Muhammad Saleh’s broadcasts and discussions with believers, a terrifying phenomenon, In short, Muhammad Saleh asked hundreds of fathers what they would do to their son or daughter who neglected the Fajr prayer, perhaps even as young as ten years, One hundred percent of the believers answered that anyone who abandons prayer, whether son or daughter, should be killed, even if they are a child. Even the wife, the mother, agreed to the killing of her children if they abandoned prayer,Every person who abandons prayer should be killed, Imagine the rivers of blood in this case, imagine the barbarity, and then imagine a father slaughtering his son or daughter for abandoning prayer, Here, these fathers even disregard the instinct of fatherhood and the false advice of honoring one’s parents, How can this honor be understood when such absurd acts of piety are permitted? Is it permissible for a father to kill his son or allow a son to kill his father because he neglected to pray?

In reality, we do not see seas of blood, nor do we see the killing of those who abandon prayer for many reasons, including the superficiality of religiosity, the hypocrisy of boasting, and adherence to the rulings and rules of religion without applying these rules, The prayer of these people is a deceitful hypocrisy, Whoever speaks to God during prayer and believes in complete obedience to God’s advice and guidance does not kill, lie, steal, etc. God, the representative of virtue, does not command all of the above, because what was mentioned is contrary to virtue, These worshippers are generally distinguished from others by their bad morals, bad behavior, and deceit, God, in his human understanding, cannot be savage in the way these believers have portrayed him, Perhaps there is a multiplicity of gods, and it seems that their god is extremely barbaric, crude, criminal, and immoral, Are these the qualities that we should worship, prostrate to, glorify, and adhere to his directions, commandments, and orders?!

The savagery of this God is not limited to the obligation and the punishments for disobeying Him, as we mentioned regarding the one who abandons prayer, Whoever escapes the barbaric killer and his Daesh on earth may not escape the punishments in heaven, i.e., in hell, Heavenly punishments are difficult to imagine because we have not experienced anything like them on earth, nor do we live on earth with predatory animals like the animals of heaven, The source of our knowledge about the hell of heaven was the religious texts, which clarify and explain the ways of the savage divine dealings with those humans who reached hell, What we find astonishing is the disproportion of the ferocious punishment to the trivial earthly crime, which is abandoning prayer, The form and magnitude of the punishment as described in the texts is terrifying, vengeful, and savage and does not befit the gods, to the point that it negates from the gods praiseworthy qualities such as compassion, mercy, wisdom, understanding, forgiveness, love, and respect for life, etc.

We conclude from what has been mentioned that prayer in general is devoid of any positive value, and the practice of street prayer is not done with an internal moral motive, nor is it related to the love of God and glorifying Him with a sublime kind of conviction or belief, but rather with the motive of fear of heavenly terror,Sometimes the heavenly beast exempts believers from punishment, which is limited to the application of all who have not uttered the two testimonies of faith, and at other times we feel that the presence of humans in hell is almost limited to women, and then at other times all the sins of the believer are erased as soon as the sinner fasts for a few days. We generally feel that this heavenly terror is without reason and without morals as well.
