UAE's first astronaut is issued Islamic guidelines

Hazzaa Al Mansoori will take off for the International Space Station this week. He will become the first man in space from an Arab country since the late 1980s. Dubai's Islamic officials have advised him to stick to Mecca's daily timings.

Is there still space for a god to exist when human can already leave Earth?

If God is in the universe, why on earth would you be FACING earth?

ButiOne3 May Allah protect him and all his colleagues.

Out of this world = A problem for facing terrestrial Mecca. Good luck with the 16 sunrises every 24 hours

😶

You wanted a future in which Islam rules the world? You would end up with something like this! Ridiculous!

From space he can see spherical earth and prove Koran wrong.. FlatEarth

Hopefully he cracked one the most mysteries of mankind. The other is how to wash his ass in space.

Big mistake taking the cancer to space. Check him for bombbelts! So allah is in mekkah 🤨😂😂🤫

I think he can do whatever he wants. Idk why some people are angry about him. Oh they mad because he’s a Muslim. So the word “freedom” can’t be used here. He should do what others tell him to do. Not what he wants to do.

Science and superstition never a good mix!

He should no go for it will be really hard for him to keep his $$ up in the air during prayer. Any other way is haram.

I wonder how many of the people commenting here didn't read the article and assume he'll be praying 16 times a day...

Bull$hit

Will he do any worth while work or just pray all the time!

Very scientific 🥴

Is this a spoof?

Why would you shorthand this historic event to information that is not useful to the universal viewers? Isnt this considered more of stereotyping? Havent we all ‘evolved’ yet? Grow up!

Such stupidity, amazed they managed to get one in space

Sounds like Soltzehnitsins political commissar.

Instead of saying congratulations on being selected out of more than 4,000 applicants you write a story about this! His religion is his religion it doesn’t stop just because he is in space

If people are supposed to live in space it's important we test all their needs. If he needs to pray to stay calm and positive then it's nothing wrong with it as long it's his private will (said atheist).

Should send them all into space,they are a waste of space on earth,that’s for sure.

But has his Imam informed him that the earth goes round the sun?

When religion interferes with life and work you know you're dealing with fundamentalist stupidity.

Always facing Mecca lmfao!

What a load of pish 🙄🙄🙄

Ridiculous

alykhansatchu Hahaha

That will help

Any meteorite should do. Abraham's meteorite in Mecca is mostly dust now. Time to find a religion that works with people who have an IQ over 60.

What's the point of going to space ? pathetic

Coitado deve ter ficado doido

Why he is a muslim and this is normal Why you are highlighting it?

yeah they know their priorities

They shouldn’t send him into space. He’s too much of a distraction.

Banning men has taught me that I am enoughI buy myself flowers instead of buying surprise gifts for guys. I'm not distracted by my latest man drama so I am a better listener and friend. lizzo Her cats will eat her. I appreciate where the Dr is coming from in terms of frequent disappointment w/ men. But there's some snobbery in the article (see attached). I know this is RE:relationships but will she 'ban' the plumber,builder, surgeon etc? We have to be careful in our pursuit of happiness (1) that we don't stray into self-obsession or narcissism where we don't have time nor space for others in our lives but only ourselves.Just seems cynical & misanthropic to dismiss a whole group because of some disappointments.
