Watch: Cat jumps on Imam during Ramazan prayers, video delights internet

Ramzan is here and it’s time when Muslims immerse their souls in devotion. This year, Ramzan began on March 22 and will end on April 21, 2023. Muslims, those who keep roza, observe fast during this period from dawn to dusk and break it in the evening with dates and water.

Halfway through Ramzan, a heartwarming video, that will surely leave you mesmerized, has surfaced and has bowled over tons of netizens.

The video shows a cat jumping on an imam who is seen reading prayers. But instead of getting alarmed, the mosque’s worship leader maintains his composure and continues his job while affectionately petting the feline. The cat climbs on his shoulder and then gets down only after it’s done with the mischievous attempt at disruption.

Through the sequence of the events one gets a feeling that the imam must be familiar with the cat and that reflects in the way he calmly goes about reciting the prayers, instead of panicking and reacting instinctively.


“Cat jumps on Imam during qiyam (taraweeh) prayers and he behaves exactly like any imam Insha’Allah would,” a Twitter user posted the video with this text.

The video went viral instantly, garnering close to 3 million views and 60 thousand likes. Netizens were impressed with the imam's equanimity and found the entire sequence of events too cute to ignore.



“World-class catting here. 10/10, no notes. And also 10/10 to the imam for the absolutely correct response: snuggle the cat while not missing a beat,” commented a user.


“Cats, always doing exactly what they feel like doing - preferably when it's not the right time to do it. Love his reaction,” quipped another user.
