:sl:

the sisters hanging around the masjid isnt the problem, that masjid is in the midst of a community, literally and you see women not dressed properly walking past all the time. the sisters were fully covered and demanding their rights. the point is not knocking on someones door. the point is they want their rights the same masjid that invited that woman, although it was cancelled but still she was initially invited! and they cant even let their fellow muslimas come in and pray after them

and does that masjid tauheed ul islam have facilities for women to pray????
 
The men shouldn't have reacted in such a way! Even if someone is doing something wrong ur supposed to tell them gently!! Society nowadays... Didn't anyone else try and stop the men from doing that? I mean they're coming to pray jumah salah and they behave in such a way?
 
This kind of thing boils my blood. Who do those guys think they are. So hypocrite, first praying like a muslim and 5 minutes later acting like animals.
However I o wonder, was this a desirable method of bringing the issue to attention? Did those people try to just ask the imam before they handed flyers? Why did they do it in this way?
 
Rather Than Give Out Leaflets And Cause Such An Unprecedented Response, Why Not Talk To The Imam To Get A Room For The Sisters In The Mosque?

Make Your Feelings Known To Him And Im Sure He Will Understand.

In This Way, If Brothers Are Going To Behave In Such A Way It Will Be Against The Wishes Of The Imam.

If The Imam Refuses On Unreasonable Groungs, Threaten To Take The Mosque To Court For Discrimination.

Im Sure That Will Chnage Their Position!!!!
 
TYPICAL !!!! Start acusing back n forth !!!
Before we start ranting n raving...!! who els directly knows what happend..? has any1 looked in to the incident n clarified the story.??
 
i'm outa here.... (sorry if i caused any offence)

subhan Allaah.. the way i just read that - it made me shocked how we have so much fitnah from among our own people.. yet we complain about what the kuffar are doing to us.


Allaahu akbar, what the messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said is so true.. ignorance will prevail, and we argue against ourselves, yet we want victory against the kuffar.


i think it's to do with them men having ignorance, and also arrogance.. audhubillah.

Well said. I agree completely.
 
From the original post, these sisters were wearing hijab and niqab. How much fitnah can 2 covered sisters cause when these "brothers" will go out into a non muslim society filled with women wearing neither hijab nor niqab.

SubhanAllah, God help this ummah!
 
But the uproar from Blackburn’s goons didn’t end there. We were followed by a car and hounded as they drove up and down the main road taunting and throwing eggs at the sisters.

Just one question for now? Do people go to mosque armed with eggs should they need to pelt someone? :confused:

From memory, in the article, I believed it said that while the Imaam knew what was going on outside, they did not interfere but instead ignored it. I'll just have a check now. Still have about 700 words to do on that darn gender role essay.

edit:

Here it is, though I'm sure the "Masjid leaders" equates to being an Imaam. I could be wrong.

It was the masjid leaders that I was deeply devastated by. Instead of teaching them Islamic etiquette, the Qur’an and Sunnah, they were enabling the goons outside the masjid and ignoring the hadiths presented to them when all we asked was to pray Zuhr.

apparently, the sisters came all the way from london to make their stance..
Allahu'A'lam, if this is true then the sisters were asking for trouble...

there are literally Masjids at every street corner in Blackburn, there are Islamic centres too, there is a particular islamic bookshop which has womens learning/teaching facilities... where if the sisters had intentions to pray their Salaah... could have prayed.

why cause all the commotion at that particular Masjid...:? :? which does not concern them..?

I have not deemed the behavior of these men acceptable at all.

however, my point is...it is not an obligation upon these sisters to educate the men of Blackburn, they should have handed out these flyers to the sisters/women of Blackburn instead, there are Masha'Allah so many practising sisters in Blackburn who are influencial and eduated, many Farigh Alimah's, there are four islamic schools, one huge madressa (Madinatul uloom Muhammad Zakariyah)

Allah(swt) is going to question us for our OWN actions -FIRST.

sisters we should enjoin good and forbid evil, we sisters should help our sisters in Islam first, the brothers were very much in the wrong..let the brothers deal with them.

the two sisters took the wrong approach, and then aggravated the situation publicising it.

outcome =

sisters were attacked

the whole world now knows about it

people are angered by it

Muslims of Blackburn are now tarred with the same brush

major embarrassment to the ummah

now non muslims will have even more misconceptions about Islam.

May Allah give us all hidaayah, May ALLAH(swt) grant us all the ability to speak the truth and make Aa’mal on the truth. May He Ta'ala accept the efforts of Muslims in whatever way they are working to better the condition of the Ummah and may He Ta'ala put Barakah in our works and make our intentions and our actions straight and according to the requirements of Islam.

Ameen.

They must have obviously known that those sisters were muslim, and they go n call them non muslims, we all know what happens wen u call some one a kafir wen theyre not dnt we, it comes back on their head.

May Allah grant them hidayat ameen. Im appauled, big up to thsoe sisters fighting for their rights.
 
i agree !!! why on gods earth come 100 miles away from out of town (if its tru) jst to make a point..

there are 100's of other mosques that have sisters sections....why not go ther...?

WHAT WAS THE SISTER'S MOTIVE. to gain what..? look at the situation its self.

if they were doing somthing PIOUS n holy ,, would allah have disgrace them like that..?
 
by the way id just like to add, this is the same masjid that invited condaleeza rice to do a presentation.
 
oh god MPAC... *rolls eyes*

those brothers had no right to abuse there sisters and to call kaffir, thats just plain silly, not to mention haraam.... but then again the sisters where a bit stupid, if the sisters want to pray in the mosques they should proove to the brothers they are capable, maybe by starting a little masjid in one of the sisters houses.

salam,

as well as a lot of what you have said in this thread, I would like to point out just how unIslamic the above statement is.

From the Qur'an, we find:

"The believers, men and women, are Auliya (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they enjoin good, and forbid evil; they perform As-Salat (prayer) and give the Zakat (charity), and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. " - (9:71)

do you see the stark contrast between your statement and what this verse says?

Perhaps the sisters had this saying of our prophet (saws) in mind:

Abu Sa"id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) had said:
"Whoever amongst you sees anything objectionable, let him change it with his hand, if he is not able, then with his tongue, and if he is not even able to do so, then with his heart, and the latter is the weakest form of faith." (Muslim)


I certainly applaud this method of pointing out injustices, and objectionable actions, as opposed to the method that has been done here in the US, by simply staging a publicity media stunt and inviting world press.
