Zusammenfassung:This study delves into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the religious practices of Muslims. Prior research in this field has primarily centred on the adjustments made to religious practices during the pandemic, but has yet to provide a thorough examination of the long-term ramifications of the pandemic on Muslim religious practices. The aim of this study is to comprehend the reasons for the non-return of Muslim religious practices to pre-pandemic levels. A qualitative methodology is utilised, comprising of in-depth interviews with Muslims who actively participate in the obligatory five daily prayers in congregation at the mosque, as well as observations of their activities at the mosque. The findings suggest that post-pandemic, commitment and attitudes towards religious practices among Muslims continue to be influenced by religious guidance and regulations established during the pandemic. Furthermore, the study reveals that religious practices have decreased and have become more individualised in terms of commitment, intensity, and nature. The study recommends further research that considers the broader context of Muslim religious practices in a comparative community.
