This is hardly important news with all the more, rather important things going on in the planet.

^I agree. .

I want to know this story from the bus driver himself! Why was he not asked for his response so that it could be published as well???

There's too many if's, but ofcourse salaah has to be performed at the correct time and salaah should never be missed without a valid Shar'ee excuse!

I can understand people being upset that he didn't inform them of what was going on, but even then on all the buses I've been on not once has a driver said "to regulate the service the bus has been temporarily stationed here" and then begin reading his newspaper or eating his lunch.

Actually in London its all automated, so the bus driver doesn't have to say anything, all he has to do is push a button.

I know hence the reason i posted in the general thread but it got moved

Get off his case will ya! So he puts his faith before his job? And we don't even know the full story, his side or if they even HAVE it correct. Stop judging. People are making such a fuss over his prayer. If it was something huge, I wonder how most of us would react? And why don't other people make headline news when they stop for a stupid smoke or something.

Seriously.

May Allah reward him, ameen.

Assalamo alaykom,

All I say is MASHAALLAH.
