 As an imam, leading prayers is a great responsibility. It's not just about reciting the words but also about guiding the congregation in prayer. So being alert is crucial in ensuring that the prayer is conducted smoothly and effectively. One reason to be alert when leading prayers is to ensure that the congregation is following along. This means that the imam must be mindful of the pace of the prayer and ensure that the congregation has sufficient time to complete each movement before moving on to the next. Additionally, the imam must be aware of any mistake made by the congregation and correct them accordingly. While it is unfortunate there have been instances where imams have been attacked while leading prayers, these attacks are typically carried out by individuals with extremist ideologies who seek to target and harm religious leaders. As a result, being alert when leading prayers as an imam is not just important for the smooth conduct of the prayer but also for the safety and security of the congregation and the imam. The video we'll be reviewing today is an example of how alert and self-conscious an imam should be in another peak of prayers in the mosque. The smart way he dodged this attack is remarkable and should serve as a lesson to other imams during prayer times. Before we jump into the video which I'm going to get blurred, let's watch one that happened just a few years ago. This also happened in Malaysia specifically at the national masjid. Asalaamu alaikum brothers and sisters, welcome to another episode of the Open Minded Thinker Show. Please like and share to create awareness. Don't forget to subscribe to help us grow. The mosque was filled with a soft glow of light as the imam began to lead the fadir prayer. The congregation was quiet. Each person focused on the words of the imam as he began to recite the prayers. The atmosphere was peaceful with the sound of the imam's voice resonating through the mosque. As the prayer continued, the imam's recitation were done as part prayer type and everyone in the congregation followed along lost in prayer. However, the serenity was suddenly interrupted when the man appeared out of nowhere and with his way from the crowd, the man attempted to strike the imam with a massive blow and slippers but he missed as the imam quickly stepped back very smartly. The incident was brief but left everyone in shock. The man was quickly apprehended by the police and taken away. The suspect in his 40s who was clad in a purple bunch of Malayu and black ponds had entered the masjid about 6.20 am. During prayers, the man was hot shot and the roller shook to enter in something mask. Later, when the imam was reciting the prayers, the man stomped in. He put several congregants and rushed towards the imam, trying to hit him with of course, as you know slippers. One notable thing about the whole thing was that the imam, a Mahad Ta'ev Tuarath student, remained calm and composed, reassuring the congregation that everything was under control. Despite the unexpected interruption, the prayer continued smoothly. The imam's recitation was still on point and the congregation continued to follow as the prayer drew to a close. There was a collective sigh of relief from everyone in the mosque. The incident was quickly forgotten as the imam concluded the prayer and the congregation began the preparation for the days fast. For me, this is pretty interesting considering the imam's ability to evade the attack pretty smartly and remain calm and composed. The prayer actually continued smoothly and the congregation remained focused. Demonstrating the resilience and strength of the faith, the incident served as a reminder of the need for vigilance and security measures to ensure the safety of all members of the congregation. Before making this video, I followed it up to understand that the attacker was mentally ill. Inshallah, he may have been given the best of treatments, we hope so. But this action leaves us with a great lesson. One of that lesson is raising mental health awareness. This incident highlights the importance of raising awareness about mental health issues within the Muslim community. Muslims should seek to educate themselves and others about the challenges faced by individuals who suffer from mental illnesses and how to identify and support those who may be struggling, mostly Michelin-Carrie Dalek, and understanding between themselves and individuals of different backgrounds. The media may have told us something different, but this can help to build bridges and reduce misunderstanding that can lead to violence of this nature. Muslims should always remain vigilant and be aware of the serathens and particularly in crowded places, such as mosques and wherever. They should report any suspicious behavior to the authorities and follow the security measures put in place to protect themselves and others. Muslims should strive to practice self-restraint and avoid reacting impossibly to situations that may cause emotional distress. This can help to prevent any escalation of violence and promote peaceful resolution of conflicts. Muslims should emphasize the value of forgiveness and the importance of treating others with kindness and compassion. Forgiveness can help to heal wounds and promote understanding, leading to a more peaceful society and a better life. Live it right there, ladies and gentlemen. Until next time, Asalaamu Alaikum.
