I understand what your saying brother and even agree but still I think if they want to pray in the masjid they should be allowed to do so. Personally I like praying at home but there are times when I want to go to the masjid because I want to the hear the imam speak. Again though I think they could have gone about it differently or better yet, just go to a masjid that already has a womens section. I dont understand why they drove so far to go to this particular masjid knowing women were not allowed in.

I fear this debate could go on endlessly..so for me I think I'll let it alone now.:sl:

I imagine it must be quite important to hear the Imam speak about the Qu'ran and Islamic issues - especially when you are living alone, or you don't have many Muslims around you.

I love hearing people read from the Bible and talk about God's word in church, and I wouldn't want to be without it.

I guess you can get stuff from books, the radio or the Internet - but I imagine it's not quite the same ...

Im quite confused now. Im positive i've read loads of hadiths that state women are rewarded more if they pray at home so whats all this about? :rollseyes

Well as a single female I know that women need a place to gather in Islam. I am converted because I am fully persuaded in Qur'an and Allah and that Mohammed (Peace go with Him) has always been the last Prophet. Yet if there are not places women gather for worship then I am isolated. I don't want to go to places men gather as an unmarried woman.

you'll have to ask my wife about this issue... as she is presently at the mosque listening to talks and i am the one sat at home...

I am not even sure if anyone could react this way... I have a feeling perhaps this has nothing to do with the imam of the masjid or their committee.. On a jumuah salah, masjid is going to be crowded...and some people (in this case men) who *only* visit the masjid for Jumuah feel they are very pious and act their own way. Its sad that such acts by a few muslims (Allah knows if they are regular visitors to masjid) end up representing not just the whole of muslim community, but Islam itself. And its even saddening to realize that such acts smear Islam so much that Non muslims get a bad picture of it and end up doubting Islam and getting judgemental.

As to someone who asked about the rulings that makes a place a mosque.. please check here: http://www.albalagh.net/general/0074.shtml

Bascially a masjid if built will ALWAYS be a place of worship. Any temporary prayer rooms would be called a musallah.

My point is that in all societies women do not have equal rights. We live in a generation where barbaric thinking of men to feel they are superior because of there gender should end. In reality it is no different than rascism. I mean really, discrimination because ones black or ones female... do you see a difference?
