In Pakistani culture, prayers hold significant importance in sports events, blending religious devotion with athletic competition. Before major matches, teams often gather for collective prayers, seeking divine blessings for success, safety, and sportsmanship.
Traditional Islamic prayers like Dua and Surah Al-Fatiha are commonly recited, emphasizing unity and humility. Many athletes wear taweez (protective amulets) or recite specific verses for strength and focus.
Post-event prayers express gratitude, regardless of the outcome, reflecting the cultural value of accepting fate (Qadar). Community prayers in mosques also support local teams, fostering a sense of collective identity and spiritual support in sports. |
