Women praying in Congregation

when women don't go to the masjid, there is decrease in their taqwa. when we don't go for friday prayer, we miss the khutba which contains important religious material. additionally, the time women would've spent in masjid is now spent in other useless things like watching tv. since women miss khutba and other lectures, they are ignorant of religion, which means that the next generation will be ignorant since children learn from their mothers.

all this is one cause of downfall of ummah.

It's better for them to read their salaat at home.....
