Accidentally Walked Past Someone Praying and Feeling Terrible

The other day, I walked in front of someone who had just started praying to get to the stairs for my class. It didn't hit me that this could be disrespectful until I was already climbing the stairs. I'm not religious and don't know much about Islam, but I looked it up and found out it's indeed seen as disrespectful to pass in front of someone in salah. I genuinely feel awful-sick to my stomach and like I could cry. I wish I could apologize to that person directly. Since it's currently Ramadan, are there any other important things I should keep in mind to show respect to Muslims? I'm truly sorry to the person I disturbed.

It happens, don't worry! The person praying probably understands it was an accident. Your feelings show you're respectful.

The fact you're asking how to be more respectful during Ramadan is lovely. Maybe just try to be a bit more mindful of your surroundings in public spaces.

That's so kind of you to care this much. Your genuine remorse shows a good heart. Don't be too hard on yourself, we all learn.

Honestly, don't stress. If you didn't know, it wasn't on purpose. God knows your intention was not to disrespect.
