Corona in India & Prayer

India has been hit fairly hard recently with the whole pandemic. It has just been reported in the India Times that the death toll has risen to 10 as “Delhi reporting second death, while the number of coronavirus-positive uses, including casualties, in India, reached 519 on Tuesday”. This was reported by the Union health ministry. However, starting today, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that India will have a 21-day complete lockdown in order to control the spread of coronavirus. This virus continues to affect each country severely.

However, citizens in India are used to their prayer and worship in the comfort of their own homes. They are able to kneel and pray wherever they may be. Throughout my years in intermediate school, I learned that Muslim citizens pray in the direction facing the city of Mecca but specifically their holiest shrine called the Kaaba. It is nice to know that this virus optimistically will not interfere with this sacred worship and prayer.
