chosen.content: Many religions have guidelines for prayer and worship, which can vary in their specifics. Generally, Muslims are allowed to pray during certain times of the day as they adhere to a five-times-a-day prayer schedule. Christians generally are not allowed to pray during school or work hours out of respect for those around them and for the fact that their prayer needs may not be the same as others around them. Additionally, some religions may require individuals to be in a certain location, such as a designated house of worship, in order to properly carry out their rituals. In a public place, school, or work setting, the safety of everyone involved and respect for others’ rights need to be taken into consideration, thus preventing individuals from participating in prayer during those hours.

rejected.content: Muslims can pray during certain hours because according to their faith, it is important to pray five times a day in order to remain connected to Allah. Christians, however, do not have this obligation and so may not always be able to pray during working hours or at school. This is not to say that Christians are not allowed to pray — this can be a personal decision and should be respected if desired. In addition, some Christian churches have specific times of day that are set aside for prayer or reflection, so this could be incorporated into a school or work schedule. Ultimately, it is up to each person or organization to decide if and how prayer should be accommodated.
