Cat climbs onto sheikh leading nightly Ramadan prayers










A cat appeared to enjoy the prayers of Sheikh Walid Mehsas in Algeria on Monday (3 April), a video posted by the official page of the sheikh on Facebook showed.







Mehsas was praying 'Taraweeh', a nightly prayer occurring every evening during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, in Abu Bakr al-Siddiq mosque in the Algerian province of Bordj Bou Arreridj.


The cat wandered around the Sheikh leading the prayer, until it jumped on him. Mehsas appeared undisturbed. He gave the cat a gentle caress and continued reciting the verses for the prayer.


Muslims perform the unique Taraweeh prayers to commemorate the holy month of Ramadan. On social media, a video of a group of men praying to Allah has gone viral. At that very time, a distinguished visitor enters the building and leaps over the Imam, who conducts the collective worship. According to reports, the event happened at a mosque in Bordj Bou Arreridf, Algeria, in North Africa.


The endearing video has received millions of views since it was posted online a few hours ago. Also, it has received several social media shares. One of the responses to the tweeted information asserted that cats enjoy listening to sacred recitals and the Quran. “As I read, my cat used to perch between me and the armrest. Also, she would stand next to us during Sujood (sic) and bend her head “a Twitter user stated.
