MADINAH, 21 October 2007 — Following instructions of Custodian of
the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah to open the Prophet’s Mosque in
Madinah 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the mosque has become
filled with people catching up on sleep.
While watching worshippers spreading all over the mosque to take a
nap after the prayers, Saeed Al-Raddadi, a resident of Madinah, told
Arab News that worshippers are abusing the new opening hours.
“It was great news for all when King Abdullah announced the opening
of the Prophet’s Mosque 24 hours a day in order to allow worshippers
more time to pray and read the Qur’an. We are seeing something else
now. We are noticing that people spend more time sleeping than
worshipping, ” he said.
Al-Raddadi said that he has notified officials at the holy mosque
about the problem. “I do not think it is a good idea to let them
sleep because the mosque is only for worshipping, ” he said.
Mahmoud Al-Masry, an Umrah pilgrim from Egypt, said the new hours is
a brilliant opportunity for worshippers to rest after prayers.
“I really praise King Abdullah for issuing an order to open the
mosque for worshippers round the clock. It gives us an opportunity
to take some time off to rest in between prayers and we can avoid
the trouble of going to our hotels after each prayer,” he said.
Nasir Al-Dukhaily, a receptionist at a hotel close to the Prophet’s
Mosque, said that many worshippers avoid renting rooms since the new
opening hours have been announced.
“Some worshippers nowadays do not look for rooms and spend all their
time in the mosque since they can find a corner in the mosque to
sleep,” he said.
Al-Masry added that the new hours have allowed pilgrims on limited
budgets to save cash. “Some worshippers do not have the ability to
pay for hotel rooms and so they see this as an opportunity, ” he said.
Meanwhile, a supervisor at the holy mosque, who asked not to have
his name published, said guards have not been instructed to stop
people from sleeping inside the mosque.
