I was recently travelling by plane. The plane had started moving around 30 minutes before the beginning time of fajr time and we would reach our destination in around 4 hours. I spoke to the airhostess and told them that I would pray etc and they were perfectly ok with it. Now previously on many other flights I had given the benefit of doubt to the Muslims flying on the plane as it was possible that no-one was praying on the plane due to combining prayers or maybe I was not attentive etc. Anyway with regards to Fajr salah there is no chance of combining it. Also there was no way the people could have prayed beforehand or after the flight. There was about 1 and a half hours to pray which would all pass on the plane. To my utter shock no-one prayed on the whole plane except myself. The vast majority flying on the plane were Muslim and it was a packed flight but not a single person prayed. I was very sad about the state of the Muslim ummah.

The same thing happened when i was returning home from hajj. Everyone on the plane was muslim all returning from hajj, it was fajr time and me and my cousin got up, did wudhu, even did azan but no one else got up, only one brother who saw us praying also got up and prayed but everyone else either heard us but didnt pray, saw us and didnt pray or just carried on snoring
