Turkey: Mass prayers in mosques suspended

[ASKardar]

Mosques will stay open for people who want to do individual prayers, says head of Religious Affairs Directorate

Turkey's top religious authority has suspended all congregational prayers in mosques, including traditional Friday prayers, to help stem the spread of coronavirus.

Ali Erbas, head of the Religious Affairs Directorate, said on Monday that mosques would remain open for those who want to pray individually.

"In this process, it is sufficient to do the noonday prayer instead of the Friday prayer," he said.

Erbas emphasized that all members of the Turkish public who went on umrah pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in a government-organized tour have returned to Turkey.

He added that 390 Turkish citizens who travel to Saudi Arabia on private tours will return today and be quarantined.

The novel coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, China last December, and has so far spread to at least 146 countries and territories, and the World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a pandemic.

According to Worldometer, a website that compiles new case numbers, out of roughly 176,000 confirmed cases, the death toll is nearly 6,700, while more than 77,500 of them have recovered.

The current number of active cases is nearly 90,000, with 93% in mild condition, and 7% in critical condition.

I also watched a video of Khadim Rizwi Mullah,

But i am also translating it in urdu here:

"China waloo per khuda ka qahar (azaab) nazil huwa hai, kyon k woh ughiyaar k musalmanoo per zulm kar rahay thay, sub bolo k khuda china per aur apna qahar nazil karay..."
