[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any Muslims successfully applied for an RA to attend Friday (Jummah) prayers? I’m a child of 9/11 and have spent my entire career trying to fly under the radar as a Muslim. I never say why I’m off for Eid, I don’t tell anyone I’m fasting unless I have to, no one knows I pray in my office. However, I’m at the point where being a fed sucks so bad, why not seek out this one accommodation and attend Friday prayers at my mosque every single week? I am worried about perceptions but I know I have a reputation for being hard working and capable.

Has anyone else thought about it or applied for it? [/quote]

You don't need to be apologetic, just do your own thing without inconveniencing others. Imho as a muslim, diverse work places aren't meant to display individual religions. If its your free time and you are doing prayer in your room with a closed door or in meditation room etc, its perfectly fine and nobody's business but don't do it while on the clock, no matter its prayer or smoking or internet browsing.
