[PICTURES] Prostrating oneself or doing sajda after getting to milestones

It is. 🤦🏽*♂️.. there are two types of biddah “innovation” good & bad & this particular one is bad . Hope this educates you 👍🏽

How can putting your head to the ground be bad ?
Does putting your head to the ground go against Quran and Sunnah
 
Repulsive, cringe-worthy behavior from Sarfraz. Glad he's gone from the team. Sajda kar! Religion has no business with sports. I haven't been following all the stuff Rizwan has been up to lately but he's going too far. Even his taking time to pray while the match is going on is cringe-worthy. What a destructive culture of conformity they've introduced in the team for so many years. Somebody some day will be brave enough not to listen to an authoritarian like Sarfraz and just not do it and that will be the end of it. But who'll go first?
 
Don't usually comment on these topics as religion, its obedience is a very personal thing. There should be free will to how any one wants to celebrate any achievement, if any one wants to thank his maker by doing sajda or any other such gesture he should be doing that and without anyone judging.

Regarding Sarfaraz and Naseem interaction, if Sarfaraz asked him to do sajda then it was wrong in my opinion. Its upto Naseem how he wants to celebrate that occasion and if he wants to thank his maker its upto him how he would want to do so. If Naseem asked Sarfaraz for a reminder then thats fine but, otherwise it doesn't make sense.

One can maybe encourage people to do things one feels are right but, doing sajda (While not in prayer) on the field/office/tennis court etc. after a milestone is nothing which is bestowed upon any one to do so (There are numerous ways to thank God, including in your heart). If anyone wants to do it, so be it but, not sure asking or telling someone to do so is something that should be avoided.

very true.... only point that if some1 tells u to do sajda, maybe its a methoid to keep the other person humble and down to earth and focused on game..#

we have seen to many people destroying their career bcz of the arrogance ...

never a fan of forcing any religious practice on anyone... just what it was meant to be

The video is in this thread above.

From what I see, its Sarf telling a young person to thank Allah - whether its with a Sajda or by looking up - is all good.

I see M Salah doing a Sajda when he scores for LFC - its highly appreciated by the fans; For some reason the same thing is an issue for others.

To each their own and I do respect both points of views

But to say one is wrong is not right.

Naseem might have already thanked allah (god) in his heart... no one knows. Its best to stay out of other religious practices . To each their own is the best approach.

When it comes to pakistanis that is not the case which was seen in thw video above. And many times through out our small history that Pakistani are not a tolerant bunch.

And are ready to take things into their own hands if they THINK their religion has been disrespected..
 
Unfortunately we Pakistanis have to bring religion into every possible place to make a show of how pious we are. It is embarrassing when players do this. I would rather they kept religion off the pitch and in their hearts instead of making a show. It is especially awkward when their supposed religiousity does not match up with their off field activities.

I think the problem is people like you.

Your comment and mindset is awkward. How many countries/places have you been in? LoL y'all need to drop this extremist mindset. Let others express themselves!
 
Sad to see people focusing on trivial things rather then cricket. To the anti Sajda brigade - Not everyone is ashamed of their religion and culture and are not afraid to express their joy using a religious symbol. Who are you to deny them that right? Are you the role model to be followed? Let’s keep the chat to cricket please and leave personal issues as something that is not your business.

This!!!

No idea why people are so judgy, he was thankful to his creator, he thanked Him on the spot...don't get your knickers in a twist!

You can eat your burger and chips and beers (if that is what you like), no one is gonna call you out on that as well :p
 
They way I see it: You don't wanna check the score (too lazy or busy), but wanna know how Pakistan did...come check this thread out because those Pak followers who cannot find anything wrong with Team's performance for the day, they will be raising heck for this, that, and other!

Go get a life folks

In cricket we are condition to do these religious acts.

Back when i was playing club cricket, before stepping into the field, reading durood shareef in the team circle was must. Even the opposition would be doing that in their circle...
But never in that circle did we discuss strategies or how we would get the opposition of ever backed each other.

If a player got a fiver or a 100 a sajda was must.....

Thus, the players are conditioned to do such religious acts from early on from club cricket, and thus cant blame them when they do so in international.

It's not really that, its a question of are players being coerced to do it?

Even if they're not really comfortable or haven't yet reached levels of spirituality and religiosity where they need to share such acts with the whole watching world?
 
It does not matter whether they are coerced. That’s their business. It’s none of our business. I suggest the people who find it concerning are either non-Muslims or Muslims with inferiority complexes or Muslims who are ashamed to be Muslims. It’s a shame. This is a cricket site so stop interfering in areas of no concern to cricket.
 
Its their personal choice and its not illegal but in my opinion , its a ridiculous act, nothing to do with religion , just a showy act or they just follow the trend. The way Sarfraz forced Naseem to that, showed it was not a natural act he wanted to do.
 
I feel like skipping every personal Pakistani milestone due to this. Its not unique nor memorable if they all celebrate the same way. Cricket is entertainment not a place to be gray.

How does it not matter if they are forced to do it? Would you like it if someone was forcing you to do something you didn't want or reluctant to do?

Just give your own opinion and move on , don;t have to say ridiculous things about the people who disagree with you views . You have no business of judging who is good muslim and who is a bad muslim , sick and tired of everyone giving Fatwa's on everyone else.

Yes of course, its a religious act, he's not denying that, he's just pointing out its just become automated, like an order has been given out to perform it after milestones regardless of the strength of religious belief.

But then again, even if a player has strong religious beliefs, doesn't matter if they perform sajda or not.

I agree it should be matter of choice no one should be forcing this act as its definitely not compulsory.

However even if your not religious and you want to do it then that's fine to :)
 
I remember the Inzi era, when any player prostrating was automatically deemed as being pressured by big bad Inzi, the Daarhiwaala Aaloo!

Fast forward 15 years (wow, how time flies), he is no where to be seen in the team, around it, management etc. yet how he is forcing these new breed of players to prostrate after every decent milestone is beyong amazing, it is unreal. How do you guys think he is still managing to do it after all these years when in Rameez as PCB main man, we have someone who has never shown any religious inclinations or affiliations.
 
moghul said:
Which religion ? just curious . Where was this "religious" act prior to Inzi era ?
Click to expand...

Yaar...don't you know? By some freak coincidenc, over the last decade or so, every player that we've been picking in the team offers thanks to their God by performing a sajda! Isn't that miraculous? Every single one of them!

For some reason, prior to the Inzi Era, we NEVER saw this in our team. Maybe once in Sharjah and once after 1992 WC? Maybe all those players were less religious than the the current crop? Or maybe it's actually truly a freakish coincidence that whoever we've been picking has this habit of performing sajda whenever they are thankful.

OR...it's a trend/culture that's been part of the team which all players feel compelled to follow out of peer pressure (ref: Fakhar getting reminded from dressing room, Sarfraz's "Sajdah Kar!!" order)

Hmm...pretty clear to me what's the most plausible situation here... But yeah, let's go with whatever makes people happy :)

Perhaps Inzamam established the culture in the dressing room and his successors (Sarfraz's "Sajda Kar") are ably following the trend?
 
I don’t understand this whole Inzi era thing. I’m pretty sure Inzi didn’t do it that often or at all himself. The first time I remember it becoming a regular thing was when Mohammad Yusuf converted. Prior to that he used to cross himself after every milestone. It seemed to have caught on and why not, it’s up to the individuals or the teams.



As someone pointed out, the only people that take offence to that are non Muslims who have a problem with Islam or muslims with an inferiority complex.

Personally I find all these cringeworthy Hasan Ali generator, shaheen smooches and other idiotic celebrations more offensive!

In case you didn't notice Safraz has barely played recently and Rameez as the head of PCB is not known for any religious displays like these in public...btw, my comment was in jest (sarcasm).

In this current world, there are no set cultures anymore, current world is unlike anything the world was like 10-15 years ago!
 
I'm sure majority of the players do it because they think they will be in trouble if they didn't do it . I don't think current players are more religious , they just don't possess the sort of self confidence the players from pre-Inzi era had, they were more educated and self confident . You think Majid , Imran , Sarfraz or Mohsin Khan would do this showy act, never. Could Inzi or Sarfraz force them , --- you now the answer.
 
Mo Salah celebrates his goals like this. What is wrong in Prostrating?

Yes becouse Salah and mane would be in trouble if they didn't do it .
 
In the celebration of a reaching a milestone, players can to whatever they feel like. Let them exercise their right and freedom. And I don't stop them.

However, on my personal level, if I have to put some assumptions together and connect the dots then this what I feel,

Had Usman Khawajja been playing for Pakistan and scored that century, he would've most likely given the show off Sajda.

Same goes with Amla and M Ali.

But since they have no cultural pressure to display hypocrisy by wearing a religious cloak, they didn't have to prostrate. Again, if anyone wants to do it, they are free to do, I have no problem with it.

IMO,
"DISPLAYING" of this religiosity in sporting events, really doesnt sit too well.

There are much, much better ways to show your "musalmaniyet and your emaan"

Many of the things these Sajda giving players, do off the camera, do not actually represent the message these guys try to give by giving these show off sajdas in front of the camera.

I have heard that Rizwan is perhaps the most religious in the team as many players have said that he has established 5 daily prayers on time.

And I see that he doesn't perform these display sajdas. He slightly raises hands and looks at the sky in a quick gesture to thank the heavens.
IMO, that's truly a very good and decent way to Thank God in the middle of a sporting event when you have reached a milestone.

Yes, this is nothing but a cheap way of showing off in front of camera, nothing to do with religion . We all know how much religion likes of Imam, Babar and others follow and we all know their "kartoot" off the field .

A very good take, that I agree with completely.

Also, I had never noticed that Rizwan doesn't do the sajda. But now that you mention it, I can't say I ever remember him doing one after scoring a hundred.

MashaAllah, this is the real stuff. Sajdahs may not mean too much but this certainly does. May Allah unite the Ummah.
 
After becoming the best batsman in the world, Rizwan has changed which of his names appears on his jersey. It used to be "RIZWAN" but now, it's "MUHAMMAD".

In before, some liberal complains about how changing one's jersey has no place in cricket.

Another form of hypocrisy.
The amount of hate, heinousness and malice, many of these Afghani players harbor in their hearts against Pakistan and Pakistani players, is attempted to be covered by an act of show off "religiosity".

This is an integral part of Muslim worship - basically prostrating yourself in front of the Almighty to show you are His servant but in this case its meant to show gratitude.

Sajdah/prosternation is one of the most powerful symbols of Islam, it means you drop down to your Creator even when you’re at the very top because you’ll always remain a creature no matter what, it’s the only human position where the heart is above the brain (metaphor for spirituality triumphing over materialism), and more.

We live in an era where pushing all sorts of identities is not only allowed but even encouraged, so why should only your faith remain "personal".

And also look at the other way : how many Muslims outside PK do Sajdah ? I’m sure they’re as pious if not more as Pakistanis, so why don’t they, generally speaking ? Problem with the mindset or culture of their team ? This asks even more questions than Pakistanis doing Sajdah.
