Abstract

Prayer, as one of the fundamental principles of Islam, holds significant importance in workplace and public environments. However, during police operations, officers face numerous challenges in performing prayers, which can affect their performance and job satisfaction. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the cultural and structural barriers to prayer in police environments and to offer practical and technology-based solutions to facilitate prayer in these settings.This qualitative study, of a phenomenological nature, was conducted in 2024 with the participation of 45 field commanders from police operations, clergymen working in ideological and political roles, personnel from the Special Police and the Special Operations Command of West Azerbaijan Province. The sampling was done purposefully and selectively, and the data collected through open-ended questions were analyzed using the Colaizzi method and analyzed with MAXQDA software.The findings of the research indicated that cultural barriers include social influences and public attitudes, awareness and religious education, support and cultural development in the workplace, and the balance between job and religious duties. Additionally, structural barriers encompass infrastructure and physical facilities, scheduling and planning, regulations and laws, and technology and resources.The results suggest that addressing the barriers to prayer in police operations requires a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach that includes education and cultural development, improvement of infrastructure, appropriate planning, and the use of modern technologies. These actions can contribute to creating a more conducive environment for prayer and strengthening religious values in the community.
