Sikh temple invites Muslim man unable to find mosque to pray

A video of a Muslim man praying inside a Sikh temple has been shared widely on Facebook.

In the footage, a Muslim man in a blue T-shirt can be seen praying towards Mecca while Sikh hymns are sung.

He reportedly went to the gurdwara after he was unable to find a mosque to pray in.

The video was taken at the Gurdwara Sahib Bercham Ipoh in Malaysia.

It was posted to a Facebook group named Sikh Inside. 

A post on the page accompanying the video read: “A muslim brother spotted doing Namaz in Gurdwara Sahib Bercham Ipoh in Malaysia.

“Probably he couldn’t find a mosque and drop by Gurdwara to complete his Namaz.”

The video received hundreds of comments praising the temple for welcoming the Muslim man.
