Corniche

yesterday, we spent a few hours spare time sitting at the corniche nearby Sheraton. When the prayer time ringing, as we know together, people who are Islamic prayer directly to the pad or sajadah which has been prepared before, but some of them also pray on grass.
Oddity that I saw, on the other corner there is also a woman running while holding the ropes animal. There is the possibility animal waste the dirt which become unclean for Muslims when the dirt is exposed.

i wish it would be the last and biggest problem in my life: "running women and roped animals (ANIMAILS??) on the Corniche wasting their dirt (??) on the grass"...

unless we all live in a sterile bubble, there is nowhere truly clean to pray.

I have seen Muslim and Western women change diapers (nappies to me) on the grass in some parks at the cornice.

If you want to pray in a truly 'clean' environment, then go to the mosque.

My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.

TSE is the best for the grass and it has good fertilising qualities.. The grass in considered cleans as the ground filters the TSe water and the small suspended solids become fertisers..

So no need to worry...lol

People sit and kids play on grass too. Not to mention they pick the food that fell off.

I don't think there is a reason for people to stop praying there as long as they're on a clean cloth.

Is Grass really clean here in Doha? Considering that most of the water used to irrigate the green landscaping and plants if Treated Sewage Effleuent (TSE) and it not fit for human use.

So if the water that is used to water the grass is not fully clean (even though it is very good for plants and grass) is the grass then considered clean?

You're right, that's why we take a prayer mat or any piece of clean cloth for prayer.

One chooses a spot they believe is clean. If there is dog waste, it will surely smell.

thats why there is public mosques , thats why there is a lot of time between the first prayer call and the second one to give people chance to find clean spot and to wash .

come on now!!
