The man in sujuud as he passes on
A Muslim man died as he bowed down to pray in a mosque in Jordan was captured on CCTV and has been shared online.
In the video, the man is seen standing with other Muslim faithful, their hands clasped in prayer. The man soon kneels and bows while others were still standing and he remained in that position for the rest of the prayer.
Other men soon join him in bowing down and one man touches his head lightly to nudge him but he remains in the same position.
He also didn't rise with the others when they stood. In spite of the efforts by another man by his side to lift him up, he remained in that position till the prayer was over.
He was rushed immediately after prayers and they tried to lift him up but it was impossible. It was then they realised something was wrong and everyone surrounded him, trying to revive him but it was already too late.
The incident reportedly happened in a mosque in the northern Aghwar region of the Irbid governorate.
