Netizens react to Mohammad Rizwan‘s praying on US street. Mohammad Rizwan, a famous Pakistani batter who is renowned for his affinity for religion, is currently in the news after being photographed praying in front of people while visiting the United States.
The flamboyant player, who flew to the US alongside Babar Azam for an executive education programme at Harvard Business School, prayed in public.
While some social media users praised the 31-year-old for keeping up with Salah while traveling abroad, others questioned his decision to pray in public in a Western country.
Reham Khan, a former journalist and the spouse of PTI chairman Imran Khan joined the social media users who responded to the video in which the former BBC weather girl highlighted the availability of multi-faith rooms in a number of US public areas.
She urged Rizwan to use some facilities instead of praying on the streets, saying she nor her family, residing in the States need to pray in public spaces.

Rizwan’s way and location of prayer are matters between him and Allah, and it is not for us to judge. It is Allah who will accept or reject his prayers based on the sincerity of his heart, not us. Let us focus on our own lives. https://t.co/SfThJLNNXu

When and where Rizwan prays is between him and Godā¦ why do we need to criticise.. maybe someone who doesnāt pray will get inspired by seeing him.. who knows.. letās live & let live & focus on our own weaknesses šš¼ #MohammadRizwan

Leave Mohammad Rizwan alone! It’s his choice to do what he feels is better for him, he’s not hurting anyone or forcing anyone to do anything. It’s still better to pray than not pray at all and criticise the one who’s praying. Also, he’s one of the nicest and most humble peopleā¦
