What the petition asks
Make it compulsory that schools in Leeds e.g DIXONS TRINITY CHAPELTOWN , have the facility for praying and are allowed to pray .
A main part of Islamic beliefs is salah. Salah is a compulsory act of worship for Muslims 5 times a day . However by the end of the school day 1 prayer time has gone by . Students would like to make a movement to pray salah during lunch time but have multiple times been denied . Please help us change this .
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
