I don't think these works in space :(
http://www.qiblalocator.com/






A Guideline of
Performing Ibadah at the International Space Station (ISS)

Table of Contents


The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document.

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

Ibadah
Ibadah in this guideline include the way of istinja’ (washing-up or cleansing oneself from all the najas-filth (dirt/waste) from the private parts, i.e. after urination or defecation), determining the prayer time and the direction of Qibla (the direction faced when praying), praying, fasting, caring of the deceased and others.

Space
Refers to space beyond the atmosphere of the earth.

Al-Maqasid Al-Syariah
Prioritization in Islam in safeguarding the purity of the religion, mental, life, property and offspring of mankind.

Tayammum
Refers to the dry ablution in Islam using clean sand or dust, which may be performed in place of ablution, only if water is not readily available.

Halal
Refers to anything permissible under Islamic law, in contrast to haraam, which is forbidden.

Aurat
Refers to the part of the body that must be covered for the sake of basic decency under the Islamic law.


1. OBJECTIVES

A Guideline of Performing Ibadah at International Space Station (ISS) is prepared by Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) as a reference for Muslim astronaut in performing ibadah at the ISS. With this guideline, Muslim astronaut is aspired to be focusing on their research at space and at the same time performing their obligations as a Muslim. Other than that, it also guide on how to fulfill the ‘al-maqasid al-syariah’ in any situation.


2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 Issues on ‘Performing Ibadah in Space’ were being arisen in conjunction with the announcement from the government on Jun 2003, to send the first Malaysia’s astronaut to the ISS.

2.2 Since the possibility of sending a Muslim astronaut to the ISS was apparent, lots of opinions and suggestions have been proposed by academicians and others regarding the issue of performing ibadah in space (at the ISS).

2.3 Issues on how to do istinja’ (washing-up), determining prayer time and the direction of Qibla, performing solat (prayer), defining time of fasting, caring for the deceased, and others, have brought concern within the Muslim community.

2.4 In conjunction with that, ‘Seminar on Islam and Living in Space’ had been organized by the National Space Agency (ANGKASA) in collaboration with the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) on 25- 26 April 2006 for the purpose of identifying related issues in performing ibadah in space (in particular at ISS) based on Islamic perspective, and more importantly proposing solution on them.

3. PERFORMING IBADAH AT ISS

Performing ibadah at ISS includes:

3.1 Istinja’ (washing-up)
Istinja’ means cleaning of the private parts after relieving onself. Istinja’ is by using wipes/tissues which are available at the ISS.

Rules of making istinja’:
Using pure, not sacred material
Using a solid material
Using a dry, non-slippery material
Using not less than 3 pieces wipes/tissues
Before the najas (filth) dries
Before the najas (filth) spreads

3.2 Cleansing Oneself
Cleansing from minor impurity (ablution)
Cleansing from minor impurity is by tayammum or dry ablution. This could be done by striking both palms of hands on a clean surface auch as wall or mirror of the ISS (even without dust).

Cleansing from major impurity
Cleansing from major impurity is the same way as in 3.2 (i).

3.3 Determining the Direction of Qibla
Qibla direction is based on what is possible, prioritizing as below:
The Ka’aba
The projection of Ka’aba
The Earth
Wherever

3.4 Determining the Prayer Time
The daily five prayer times is defined in a 24 hour duration (equals to 1 Earth day) following the time zone at which port the astronaut is launched (in this case, Baikonur, Kazakhstan).

3.5 Praying
Daily prayers could be performed in Jamak (combined) and Qasar (shortened), without the need to Qadha’ (compensate) the prayer.

The performance of the physical postures (such as standing, bowing and prostrating) is to suit the conditions in ISS, prioritizing as follows:

If upright standing is not possible, then any standing posture,
Sitting. Bowing is by bringing down the chin closer to the knee or the prostrating place,
Lying down on the right side with body facing the direction of Qibla,
Lying flat
Using the eye lid as an indicator of the changing of postures in prayer,
Imagining the sequence of prayer.

3.6 Fasting
Fasting can be performed at the ISS or Qada’ (compensate) on the Earth (in the month of Ramadhan)
The time of fasting according to the time zone of the location at which the astronaut is launched.

3.7 Caring of the Deceased
i. The deceased need to be brought back to Earth for normal funeral process.
ii. In the case the former is not possible; the deceased should be buried in space with a simple funeral process.


4 OTHER RELATED ISSUES

4.1 Food
If there is doubt on whether the food served on ISS it is halal or not, it is then permissible to eat the food on the basis of not to starve.

4.2 Dress code
A Muslim astronaut need to cover his aurat where:
a. Aurat for male is from the navel to the knee.
b. Aurat for female is the entire body except for her face and hands below the wrist.

4.3 Musafir (Traveling) ethic
i. According to Islam, traveling to space is encouraged.
ii. A Muslim astronaut needs to observe traveling ethics which are:
To maintain the relationship with Allah SWT
To observe peace with other beings
To maintain sustainability of the space environment.

5. CONCLUSION
It is the hoped that this guideline could assist the Muslim Astronaut to ensure the success of the mission and at the same time attaining the redha (pleasure) of Allah SWT.

The Ka’aba
The projection of Ka’aba
The Earth
Wherever
This is win. I also like the way they're accounting for possible future scenarios when we won't even know where the EARTH is. Possibly when we have to teach naive alien slugpuppets the ways of Islam.


Only kidding, we'll all be preaching mormonism, rite?

Nice! I concede the game to you, sir.


What would be even more hilarious would be the revelation that "Xenu" is the most popular name in the universe.

No, mormonism is almost as stupid as Scientology, it has nothing to do with sci-fi. And yeah, they really should merge, 'twould be nice to have a definite list of which people who we surrender first when xenu comes to enslave us all.
(Joke, FYI... sort of)

There is an (obsolete) teaching that Adam and Eve are spirit beings from another planet that produced human life on Earth. So, basically, alien seed theory.

What's this, a Spam thread without my input?
Paul, I know you said no phone messages, but South Street's going up in smoke. We'll have to meet at the subway station.
