"Viral Video of a Man Praying on a Stuck Truck in Severe Traffic Jam, Netizens Feel Strongly Impacted"

Dream - Islam always provides an easy way for its followers to perform worship. Not only those that are recommended, Allah SWT also provides ease in fulfilling obligatory acts of worship. When a Muslim is sick, Islam allows its followers to perform prayers while sitting, lying down, or simply through body gestures. This act of worship, which is the pillar of Islam, can also be easily done anywhere as long as it fulfills the requirements of prayer. Indeed, the most perfect prayer is performed in congregation at the mosque or surau.

However, if the location and time are not possible, prayer can be done anywhere alone. Like a man who prays on his truck when stuck in heavy traffic in the following Instagram video @abouthetic.

"Netizens Feel Slapped"

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Despite the inadequate time and place, the man's action of praying has made many netizens feel slapped. They admit to having plenty of free time and suitable places, but often neglect to perform prayers."

In the 28-second video, it initially shows a severe traffic jam on the highway. A line of cars can be seen trapped in their respective lanes without being able to move forward even a little.

However, suddenly in a stuck truck, a figure of a man wearing a blue shirt is seen standing on its roof.

After standing up, the man then bent his body. Apparently, the man was praying on top of his truck.

The movement of the unknown man bowing immediately caught the attention of the stranded drivers on the road.

The man remained focused on performing his prayer despite the truck he was on starting to move and follow the car in front of it. Without paying attention to the noisy sounds of dozens of vehicles around him, the man began to perform the prostration movement.

The man then sat in iftirasy before performing sujud again and stood up to perform the second rakaat.

"The man's obligatory prayer is unknown. What is certain is that the man's act of praying on top of a truck during this traffic jam went viral and invited various comments."

"Flood of Praise and Prayers from Netizens"

Many netizens feel amazed and impressed by the man's prayer act on the truck. Not a few feel embarrassed because the man in the video can perform prayers without having to wait to meet a musholla or mosque first.

"Why not pray together? Maybe the distance doesn't allow it... or maybe this person is already at the end of the prayer (already Asr time)." "Even though prayer can be made up or one can sit, but his choice is still to stand up there. Hopefully, this can be an example for all of us to prioritize what is important." "Although it is a self-reminder for people, even though it doesn't adapt to the place, at least he tries to fulfill his obligations."
