in our mosque the police came and told us some kids where lettin of peoples car alarms lol! gangsta :shade:

but the little kids, no one minds them, i think we gotta bare in mind that honestly lol, the kids are forced to come along with their parents and then stayin their for either 8 or 20 rakahs is a mission, like when your really concentratin you might hav kids run infront of you, and you lose your rhythm and gotta start the recitation again, but its ramadan the month of patience and stuff:D and if you be rude or stuff, kids will get put off, we need to be gentle with them inshallah

and how can you bee mean to kiddies or harsh with them:( with their small hands and feets

i would say the same thing u jus said (about the kids bein angels and bla bla bla) buuut, they gots ther own playroom! full of toys and stuff, and a babysitter! but shes always on crack so... like when i walk in ther to check out something she lock me in! and never let me out, then i tell her i aint no baby she aint here to babysit me and she like i dont care, so i jus like hah lol nice one, and walk away. and out. and sometimes she wanna fight, so i grant her her wish. :statisfie coz im a jinni. :Evil:
so if kids got ther own room then why they comin to us?
messed up masjid messed up people messed up twisted rules! :D o well. the benefit of praying at home :)
 
:salamext:,

lool Subhan'Allah I hear about these stories from my little brothers all the time, I just find it funny ...but perhaps it can be seen as a challenge to show the children who mess about what Salaah is really about through demonstrating and leading by example?

...Older brothers should not only explain the inappropriateness of misbehaving but also lead the younger children to understand why Salaah is so important by helping them pray as well! Constant nagging and always being told off, may provoke them to be rebellious and they may just prove to be hard work in a negative light. maybe this problem can turn out to be something that will increase us in reward rather than cause our blood to boil lol..

p.s. Muhsinah's back *smiles*


 
Ya in our Masjid we make sure the kids dont go crazy. All the kids are praying next to their parents and many of the teenagers are leading the salah. I am very happy with my masjid

we've had that problem for the past few years, we got some sisters together an organized a babysitting for the kids, *the brothers have it too*

Basically every night after praying isha, two sisters and two brothers volunteer to look after the kids that night in these rooms, *one in the men section the other in the women's*

I personally don't volunteer with the kids ;D but i try gettin donations, toys, islamic videos...to keep the kids busy. it turned out great mashallah :)

*now they need something for the teenage boys* the girls have been dealt with last year but the boys don't like listening lol

Salam, Nah I understand loud children in the Masjid are very disturbing and annoying, you mess up in prayer somtimes.
In the Masjid I go to, the Imaam makes sure that all the kids under 18, are by their Mom/Dad he always reminds them on the Microphone, so maybe you should tell the Imaam to accommodate the children like that OR if he can tell the women that have babies or toddlers that can't be tamed, it might be a better idea to stay home. But then if it's a big Masjid try a babysitting section.
 
They are not loud in our masjid. We have a minute community. Most of the kids are proper well behaved. Ive seen worse though.
 
Asalam alaikum all,
This is a good post. I am on both ends of the discussion reg. I have a 4yr old who either stays with me during prayer or our Masjid has a babysitting room. I am a revert so this is very new to her, I am teaching her the respect of the Salat and how not to be moving around or talking during prayer as to not disturb others. She has gone in front of people while they are praying when she didn't know, so now she does and I enforce her to behave. Parents ultlimatly need to have this respect for thier bros and sisters or take kids into kids room. You know younger kids are anxious and can't sit still too long, not really thier faults, just comes in time.
As for the teens, they know better but a gentle slight reminder could be just the thing to remind them of what they are there for.
 
Good. Inshallah she will get used to it. Just keep telling her politely and she will get the hang of it but if you dont tell her then she will think ok its just another thing. This way kids get spoiled. Ive been always taught to read salah and now alhamdulillah i dont miss it.
