Isn't this what OP the respected moderator did?
Go run and get on a rug and pray!
You mentioned infinite wisdom of almighty.
How can we know what God may or may not care about? **Who knows what repercussions a seemingly minute cricket win might bring about. Hypothetically, the positive attitude in the nation might lead to other good things as a result of public action.** Again, **we as human beings don't know and can't predict these things. **What may seem minuscule at one time might cause ripples that bring about more meaningful changes.
I just know that God has advised mankind to ask and He shall give with the provision that it isn't something immoral or perverse. I don't see praying for cricket as that.
In the end, I am of the opinion that no one has the right to restrict anyone else’s right to personal expression of belief and faith, no matter what that belief might be.
Well, let me answer one by one.
1- If you do not know what God may or may not care about then you are saying you have not studied religionsto get even a general idea.
Cricket is not something however you can ever prove God cares about cricket game.
So far no proof from you and just your emotional attachment with the game.
NOT EVEN BY ANY STRETCH OF THOUGHT OR EXTENSION OF TEACHINGS IN ANY RELIGIONS...ENOUGH TO MAKE SOMEONE PRAY TO GOD.
2- Try me. What good did this so called positive attitude brought to nation so far??
3- You do not see praying for cricket like that, but I did not mention immorality or perversion to begin with.
All I said mixing prayer with stupid game like this is silly.
4- No one is restricting here to anyone. Go ahead, pray all night and rub your forehead, that cricket team makes better score from hitting a round ball harder so YOUR chosen God grant them success.
Allah/God/Supreme Being as I understand does not care for this and has never cared for it. And you have failed to provide the evidence to the contrary.
Go ahead and love the game all you want but please do not make a mockery of praying on rug, umrah or Haj. These acts are not meant for these 'trivial' matters.
