NDTV – Muslims across the globe are observing the holy month of Ramadhan. To honour the month, Muslims offer special Tarawih rituals. Amid this, a video of a cat jumping on an Imam in Algeria, while he was leading the prayer, has gone viral on social media. The wholesome clip is winning everyone’s hearts on the internet.
The now-viral video was shared by the Official Page of Sheikh Walid Mehsas on Facebook.
In the two-minute-long video, the Imam was seen leading the Tarawih, a nightly prayer during the holy month of Ramadhan, at a crowded mosque in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria. A minute later, a cat jumps on the Imam but he is unfazed by it. He pets the feline and it eventually climbs to his shoulder and also tries to kiss his face. The Imam keeps his cool and carries on with his recital with his eyes closed. Further in the video, the cat hops off his shoulder and wanders around the premises.
He captioned the post, “Glory be to God. Even animals fear the words of God. Watch a cat climb over the Imam. And he is reading the Quran in Tarawih prayer.”
