Ignoring Covid 19 Warnings Indonesian Muslims Crowd Mosques For Friday Prayers



(Reuters) – While many Muslims in Indonesia’s capital accepted advice to avoid religious gatherings and prayed at home on Friday, elsewhere in the world’s most populous Muslim country, people ignored the risk of Covid-19 coronavirus and crowded into their mosques.
A religious gathering in Malaysia late last month attended by some 16,000 people generated about 670 coronavirus cases across the region, including 576 in Malaysia, 61 in Brunei and 22 in Cambodia. At least 13 Indonesians were also infected.
Indonesia has reported 309 cases in all, but the figure is rising and medical experts warn the number of infections is likely to be higher. Twenty-five people have died in Indonesia.
But some Muslims trusted in their faith to keep them safe.
“Allah is protecting those who abide by their obligations,” said Aswin Jusar, 76, in the town of Depok, south of Jakarta, as he prepared to attend Friday prayers as usual despite a call from the mayor for religious activities to be suspended.

The mosque had some extra cleaning and more soap was provided, he said.
In the teeming capital of Jakarta, the governor has suspended all religious activities for two weeks while President Joko Widodo has spoken of a “need to evaluate religious events that involve many people.”
At Southeast Asia’s biggest mosque, the Istiqlal in Jakarta, Friday prayers were off. Its imam, Nasaruddin Umar, cited an edict from the Indonesian Council of Ulama stressing the need for social distancing.
“There’s enough of a reason to avoid such religious gatherings,” Umar told a news conference.
A rally of Muslim pilgrims in South Sulawesi province was cancelled on Thursday, but only after thousands had already attended.
At a mosque in Tangerang, west of Jakarta, one worshipper said he was worried about the virus but still went out for Friday prayers because authorities had not imposed a ban.

“I don’t know if we’ll stand close to each other or not, it’s quite crowded here.”
In Malaysia, still reeling from the explosion of cases at the recent religious gathering, weekly prayers were called off.
“When we mention Friday prayers, please abide by the instructions,” Minister of Religious Affairs Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohd Al-Bakri said on Thursday.
It was vital to break chains of coronavirus infections and people should pray at home with their families, he said.
