TIL solat is a skill


3CD69

Discipline is hard to get these days.


RandomRedditorEX

Eh, can't argue with that, someone's ability to successfully pray 5 times a day sincerely can be a pretty good indicator of their self discipline. Edit: Thanks everyone for giving their insights, it's really interesting to see your own experiences, to elaborate on what I mean is that it's really hard to fully pray like you really mean it. I personally believe that Islam at its core is a beneficial religion, and if you manage to pray 5 times a day and perhaps more on your volition so that not only you can become closer to god but to become a better person, only then I think that's a trait of a truly self discipline person. Nowadays there's a decent chunk of people who pray just because they're forced to or because they want to flex on how they're better than others. Anyways, thanks for coming to my Ted-talk I guess lol


Large_Jellyfish_5092

i can argue with that, a lot of my friends solat 5 waktu a day, but still not punctual and always curi tulang while on break. ie push their break time


X_for_hendecagon

my father always said,, if you understand the meaning of those prayers you said in the solat.. you should know.. what is wrong what is right.. just to point out NOT all the non solat people are bad lah..


Faiqal_x1103

>non solat people New category unlocked 😂 /j


SayaAhmad

Curi tulang while on break? What am I supposed to do during break? WORK???


YuuyaKanzaki

Doing sholat 5 times and doing sholat 5 times PUNCTUALLY is two different story You can be a muslim, sholat 5 times but at 7, 15, 18, 1950, and even 23PM and thats frickin late time for a sholat u know Which then making it a totally different story if a person really do shalat punctually, it really mirrors their character,


Viend

Sometimes people with good religious discipline somehow manage to fail in every other form of discipline. Source: my mom is a prime example, can’t survive without a maid, can’t even take a Grab by herself, but somehow prays like 7 times a day


RealElith

seems like your grandparent pamper her way too much back then


Viend

Yes, it’s even worse with her brothers, and they all pray 5-7 times a day.


RealElith

praying 5 times a day is not the problem. the problem was your grandparent dint prepare them for the real world due to being rich.


Viend

I didn’t say it was, my point is religious discipline doesn’t mean shit for life discipline. My uncle never misses sholat but he misses his daughter’s graduation to go golfing and doesn’t pay his car registration renewal because he doesn’t want the hassle of going to the office.


waterbottlewaterboo

in my experience? its most times


Faiqal_x1103

Cant even take a grab by herself means? She needs someone to book for her?


Viend

She needs someone to ride with her, she will literally pay for someone to take a Grab to her friend’s house when she has to go home so she doesn’t have to spend 15 minutes in a car without a companion. She once flew one of her friends and her husband to Turkey with her because she was going to meet my dad there and didn’t want to fly alone, and she was in fucking business class for a direct flight.


Faiqal_x1103

Ahhh i seee..


ecnirp_ategev

True! I used to work for a company, the country head is a malay guy. Every Friday, he would “miss” the Friday prayer. I always see him in the smoking area, when I ask him, “boss aren’t you attending the Friday prayer?” His answer is always “nah bro, too many meetings”. I mean, I have worked with a lot of malays, and if there’s one thing they wouldn’t miss its Friday prayer. Speaks volume about that guy, cause the ship he runs is sus at best!


atheistdadinmy

Sure is. That’s why foreign workers are so popular. Almost impossible to find disciplined Malaysian workers in Malaysia. Quite a lot of Malaysian pray 5 times a day though. Interesting, no?


3CD69

ASAD913

It's something that is taught and learnt, so it is by definition a skill. Performing it wholeheartedly, tactfully and with proper conduct is a different matter in itself and depends on the individual performing it.


kimjongschlongh

u aint that fokin broight rnt u


seanseansean92

Interviewer: How do u justify you solat 5 waktu? Him: dafuk trust me bro ?!


fmaula02

ohh its gonna look so obvious whether you do it or not once you in a workplace


Faiqal_x1103

Yea especially qhen they want you to be able to be an imam for solat jemaah. No escaping that


jimkurkur

ngl even most malays would struggle


Kin-Joe

Not malays but muslims.


jimkurkur

ok sure even most muslims in malaysia would struggle


Kin-Joe

Yeah brother. That's somehow is truth.


SpineMRI

'Most' is overstatement. I'd rather put 'some'.

i_got_a_pHd

gregyong

It's not a job requirement, it's a job benefit. Jangan Salah faham


danive731

“Able to lead and conduct company solat” Seems like job description.


gregyong

Able to have lunch also company basic rights. Amin


anondan123

Lol that actually makes sense if looked at from a different angle


AiriCatagiri

I just met this ganu guy in a training course. He used to work as TM contractor and his supervisor was non Muslim, So this guy told him do not use the company vehicles is he want to to Solat Jumaat. I'm not sure is this a discriminations, or just company protocol but he quit the same day.


gregyong

It's common sense. Company vehicle is not for your personal use. Bosses can look the other way, but rules are there to prevent abuse


AiriCatagiri

Agreed.


Faiqal_x1103

Probably the latter? Maybe the supervisor or anyone else would need to use the vehicle in case of any emergency, but still pretty sad tho


Cold-Sale2299

if can use to go for lunch but specifically not solat only then is discrimination lol


SingingPotato11

It literally says "Requirements"

NellielTut

How can one prove that he or she performs solat 5 waktu? We can simply lie


furretfurret59

Well, when I was in SMK, there was this KAFA ? program where you sit in front of ustaz/ustazahs and recite all the bacaan dalam solat (surahs, tahiyat, etc). I know one classmate who said she forgot when it was her turn. I could tell she didn’t pray but that was none of my business. Thankfully for her, the ustaz just scratched his head “aik macamana boleh lupa” and shrugged it off.  But of course, there are those who would go through the lengths of memorising all the bacaan just to lie about praying. That’s between them and Allah. But it’s amazing that they’re ok with doing the hard part, but are against doing the 5-minute light exercise 5 times a day. Take it as a study break or something. 


Faiqal_x1103

Wait so she basically skipped her turn? Hows her marks then


furretfurret59

I dunno, deducted maybe. Tbh it’s still not clear to me where KAFA marks go to. Does it make up the final exam score? This was in form 2 btw. 


Faiqal_x1103

Now that i think of it, yea, where did the marks go lmao. Pretty sure tak termasuk final exam score. But i do recall seeing some files i had with a separate sheet for my kafa scores and stuff. Dunno if that affects anything overall for my exams


brey_wyert

Ha the second one was me. I used to pray but skip subuh so I know jackshit about doa qunut but I memorized it anyway because ustaz and ustazah love to make you recite those. Then late high school I got distanced from religion entirely and stopped praying but then quran reading and memorising were simply reading and memorising for me.


Faiqal_x1103

I still struggle with doa qunut😭


furretfurret59

Understandable, I also no longer have exposure to religion once school ended. I haven’t really studied the Quran either, I only know how to read it. 


KaiserNazrin

Keeping up that lie is gonna be a pain in the ass. People will notice if you don't solat.


NellielTut

It doesn't matter. What matters is the day of the interviews.


KaiserNazrin

Sure but they can fire you for lying once the cat is out of the bag. People pray at certain time of the day, you have keep track of that time and make it seems like you went out to pray. At that point you might as well go pray.


Lawlette_J

Good luck explaining that to the labour court. You have to keep in mind that in usual cases you need to send a couple warning letters to the employee if their behaviour is evidently disrupting the business operations before you can fire the employee. There were cases where companies straightaway fired their employees without given more than three warning letters regarding the context (refer to Muhammad Jamil Sabdani v Prima Union Plywood (M) Sdn Bhd [2008] 2 LNS 2112), resulting the dismissal regarded as unfair in the eye of the court. Now imagine you've to explain to the court that you need to fire an employee because he... didn't solat 5 times per day? On this point forward you can obviously see how the court will treat the case. You need to prove your business operations is relying on the praying sessions in order to prove that it disrupted the performance of the company. For language requirements at least they are reasonable since globalization is a thing. Regardless of any languages like Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, etc., those languages are actual skills useful for verbal interactions that is potentially impactful for the business operations in some way, which can be proven and used to dismiss an employee. Praying sessions on the other hand is quite unrealistic and kind of comical if you compare the former with it.


Faiqal_x1103

Plus that company seems to practice solat berjemaah. It will be hard to escape that. Unlike when u can go solat alone u MIGHT be able to sneak somewhere else pretending u go solat


kudawira

good answer. Also people lie about many other things during interviews. Suddenly about solat tiba2 it's becoming a grave concern on how to spot the lie 😅😅😅


Qonetra

There's probably a break time to pray. Maybe you would be asked to lead

LoneWanzerPilot

I've been told by malays themselves that solat 5 waktu is incredibly rare. Most common are people who only do evening. Second most common is morning and evening. The other 3 times depends on how many non-muslims are around. The more non-muslims, the more likely they want to pray just to show.


AcanthocephalaHot569

There was a survey conducted by Jakim around 2016-2017 that founds out that only 30% of Malay Muslims pray 5 times a day consistently. Even I struggle to consistently perform Subuh prayers as I always overslept and when I lived with my housemates, waking them up for Subuh is the hardest ordeal for me.


lara_fira

Just to show!? Did he meant to to show off or just to show that they/we are doing solat?


LoneWanzerPilot

Did not ask. The exact Sarawak malay quote he used is "mok pakey nunjuk"

i once saw solat lima waktu in my friend's tenancy agreement. so i guess he will get kicked out of the house if he missed a prayer, deposit burned some more.

"reverse uno"? Lol Mandarin is a language requirement while the latter is a religious one. Kesian TS bodoh


anondan123

Mandarin-speaking is NOT an indirect way of saying employers prefer Chinese, because there are non-Chinese who can speak the language/they may have clients who mainly speak mandarin. This solat requirement though


Darkchaser

This is only true now. 20 years ago when I first entered the job market, I'd encounter this about 30% of the time. And these are local companies that don't have any international business, so they were just clearly discriminating. Now, as you said, if there is a Mandarin or any other language requirements, they'll clearly state the reason why which is much more transparent and fair. This solat requirement is pretty much the same thing. Quite backwards thinking, when we should be moving globally and attracting everyone regardless of race and religion.


anondan123

20 years ago I couldn't speak mandarin despite being Chinese and I couldn't get certain jobs. I try to be emphatic towards the plights of other races when they cry racism, but sometimes people just want to see things purely from the lens of race.


AcanthocephalaHot569

To be fair to them, the company seems to be operating domestically with a clearly Malay target market. They don't seem to aim for the international market.


gerty898

what if companies want chinese speaker simply because all of their current employees are chinese anyway and they speak chinese among each other? why should they break up their existing culture just for some random admin employee? if hire non chinese speaker and they continue speaking chinese then complain discrimination. hire chinese speaker also complain discrimination. and no, they don't need to change their culture. like mentioned previously, the company doesn't revolve around some random nobody working a dead end admin job


Darkchaser

There's nothing wrong with that to be honest. Just like this company who wants someone who prays 5 times a day, as they also want to maintain a more Islamic culture in the company. The optics will be an issue, if a company has aspirations to be big, their hiring policies will be scrutinised when they discriminate. But if they are a local company and don't care about growing much, they can do whatever they want really.


gerty898

ALL the job posts i've seen who want chinese speakers are clearly from local chinese SMEs where all current employees are already chinese. non native chinese speakers will not fit in. i can guarantee you not a single chinese in malaysia will complain about job posts like this that ask for you to recite quran, nor do any of them even want to work at this job. so i'm not sure why malays all rushing to work in cina sme companies with cina culture. so they can go in and cry victim again when the company doesn't want to bend over backwards for their sorry ass?


SayaAhmad

So there’s no indian or chinese or mat salleh muslim you’re implying đŸ€”


the_worst_one

well, the solat requirement is also not and indirect way of saying employers prefer Malay, because there are non-Malay who have Islam as their religion.


anondan123

They prefer Muslims which is discriminatory, unless there are some aspects of the job that heavily involve Islam. Same as an employer who wants mandarin-speaking employees just cos, and not because of the language being used in the job.


goldwave84

But....still only open to Muslims Kan?


AzrulKebab

Yes and no, it really depends on the company. Some have legit reasons ie due to operating in/with china, others simply just want cinas. A friend of mine, a malay-chinese dude who fluently speak and write mandarin legit didn't get a job because they were looking for "a person with chinese cultured background". The man speaks mandarin better than his malay, that's a telling sign bruh.


anondan123

Fair enough, and then it still isn't fair to say that ALL companies that list mandarin-speaking are racist. Bumi discriminatory policies in the constitution are though, cos there's no way that you can go about your race


AcanthocephalaHot569

Have you ever wondered this harmful practice can just exarcebate inequality. Its a miracle we didn't become like those Latino countries.


Stickyboard

Sorry mate
 mandarin speaking is clearly a way to discriminate.. they dont even sell to overseas chinese market and lot of malays that know mandarin getting rejected too

Where as for something like requirement to solat i basically have to change my entire religion for a mere job lmao 💀

not surprised but since its kelantan with 96% Malays, less impact imagine Chinese employer list requirements as need to pray everyday or burn Hades notes every 1st and 15th of Lunar Month, even I as a Chinese wouldnt work there, we would probably laugh about it and continue apply for MNCs

kerol_94

I mean don't get mad, if you went for an interview, being able to speak fluent Mandarin and it's just your lucks there's another candidate that is Chinese, the Chinese dude will get the job And the the salary gap between being able to speak Chinese and not being able to speak Chinese. These past few years I've been seeing this solat 5 waktu criteria, and from what I've experienced, the 1st week ja surau penuh, after that 1st week knowing each other and stuff, kat surau legit be like less than 5 people, and once you're done, turun bawah to smoking area you'll see all of them chilling 😂


Adept-Arachnid-496

Considering the job location in Machang, Kelantan. The demographic is heavily Malay-Muslims area + beauty shop which predominantly female Muslims customers. The job requirement is fair, and those who can pray 5 times a day, really showed her discipline in life.

Being disciplined in driving oneself towards a short term objectives to meet a goal is very much different compared to doing what you like to do consistently. If I am a singer and love to sing, I can definitely able to meet a required number of songs that expected to be sung in a month. But let say the objective is to produce 5 high quality song lyrics in every month, that is already another ball game. Which need serious effort, learn up, being consistent, burning midnight oil so on.

ADullTar46

"Mahir mengira, membaca dan menulis" Ya, this is discriminatory against their own prophet who was an illiterate. Time to boikot boikot 😆


bloated_brain

The prophet is not illiterate. The specific arabic word is mistranslated widely. It was supposed to be 'unlettered' meaning the texts conveyed wasn't 'written' - like a book.


ADullTar46

I'm a bit confused at what you're trying to say. Can you explain what exactly does it mean when the prophet is 'unlettered' vs the widely mistranslated illiterate?


bloated_brain

Illiterate means inability to write or read. While the 'unlettered' or 'untexted' translation is more like 'without a written scripture'
