Alexander Gerst (ESA), Serena Auñón-Chancellor (NASA), and Sergey Prokopyev (RSA) board the International Space Station at 9:01 a.m. EDT to join Expedition 56 and greet their crew members on the ISS, June 8, 2018.
Based from that repost, i remember there's muslim astronauts who celebrates Eid Ul Fitr on space!l And also, performed their 5 time prayer on there.
Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie bin Sheikh Mustapha, the first Malaysian astronaut.
Also shortly known as Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, is a malaysian orthopedic doctor with Arab-Malay descent and in his leisure time, a part-time model.
With Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, they go to the ISS on 10 October 2007 with Soyuz TMA-11.
The eid ul fitr was celebrated in 13 October.
Does he celebrate it? Yes!
Here is him, singing Eid Chants. We usually sing it before doing Eid ul fitr prayer. And some Eid ul fitr messages and greetings for malaysians (and muslims!) in malay.
Also, praying in ISS.
How about the wudu/ablution?
We usually using water, and its a must for using water. But, if water is not available we can do tayamum instead! (using clean dust)
In that 'always floating' condition is not really recommended to using water for wudu, the water particles can be spread around and broke the space station electrical stuff. So it's more recommended to do tayamum.
How about the kibla? Well, the position can be everywhere because well, he can't just wait till ISS rotates towards to the city of mecca right? He'll be losing his one of his 5 time prayer, and it's really confusing to set the constant kibla on space. You could check my recent repost for more further information.
But Wait. He is not the first Muslim who do that, in 1985, The first Muslim and arab in space, Sultan bin Salman al Saud also celebrating Eid Ul Fitr, fasting, reading Quran and praying in outer space.
Prince Sultan bin Salman al-Saud is one of King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud son, and the first astronaut from saudi royal family.
His mission started on 17 June 1985 with Space shuttle discovery STS-51-G, carrying three communications satellites, Arabsat-1B, Morelos I, and Telstar 3D.
It's the month of ramadhan too.
Recently, First emirati astronaut Hazza al Mansouri also do his prayer on ISS too.
The third arab in space, first arab in ISS, going to space with Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir with Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft on 25 September 2019.
