whats a real masjid???

[qassy!]

school/bla bla bla

where ever the sister is, im in the UK and our mosques are not like that, and im centain there not like that in usa.

I think the sister just got mixed up with a prayer room in the school/airport or w/e and a masjid

/sleep time

allah hafiz

 

[truemuslim]

hmm......ive never been to a masjid or heard of a masjid that
1) plays music
2) has a cafeteria
3) has a basketball court
4) Has a place for music
5) has a place for sport
6) has a place 2 chat up girls :-[

I think you got the concept messed up ? You mean the prayer room in your college is haram ?

EDIT: been busy with work, full time work kills!!

nooo im not in college ! besides school is OVER. i mean the masjid. MASJID. MOSQUE. worreva u wanna call it! Its a masjid, but it has full time school, sunday school, or saturday school , which all are jus crap, its actually a MASJID tho. these are jus "additonal features".

i remember once they got jews to come the the masjid, to teach em "basics in islam" (aka how to do haram in islam) and one of the jew girls told me that she never expected a masjid to be like this im jus like :-[:-[:-[:-[omggg:-[:-[:-[


oh and im SURE this is a masjid.
you kno everytime they say they gonna "improve" the masjid, they just add more sporting stuff and fix up the kitchen :raging: and leave the rest of the IMPORTANT stuff crap!:raging:

 

[north_malaysian]

not these imams.

yeh we got an upstairs for women. its always empty tho coz all the ladies are busy talking downstairs instead of praying,

Astaghfirullah al azim! :exhausted My sister told me that in any mosque she had been there must be an old lady who will monitor the behaviours of the girls (especially kids and teenagers)...

and when they do go upstairs to "pray" they rush near the glass part and start staring at the brothers praying since its right under us

Most Malaysian mosques put curtains in the women section.

and i dont even know anymore if we got mosque officials

so...who takes care of the mosque? Weird!

Erm... I rest my case...:-[

Only God can save His house...which is your mosque! Maybe he'll send someone to make the mosque holier again! Maybe it's YOU! Amin!

ur masjid sadly sounds like a hang out place. But sadly its still a real masjid. It was built with the intention of making salatul jamaa3ah right? Dont go to it often if you dont have to.

Sis/Bro- i dont know which one are you, You say that the teachers in yoru masjid are stupid racist, but did you know the way you talk is also very racist? Also It would be nice if you could use....nicer language. " dumb as hell" and a thousand "craps" is really irritating to read after a while.

The masjids are a reflection of the people. Unfortunately, yes, there are a lot of masjids where boys and girls meet up, where people stay after salaah till late just to gossip, where the worldly matters take preference over the hereafter. But that's the lives people live. They live for this world, and they don't know what respect to a masjid means. All they care about is the worldly aspect of the masjid, wanting it to be beautiful and amazing to look at, but not for the sake of worshipping in it...

But are all masjids like that? No. As much as things seem awful in the US, there are things improving alhamdulillah. The masjids which aren't totally corrupt might not be totally perfect, but they are at least trying. If there are other masjids in your locality, go and give them a try. InshaAllah you might find some place better. If not, that's kinda the point where it's better to stay home than go there...

lol. You know this masjid always gets people shootin at it. and you know what else? I wouldnt be surprised if its people from the masjid that do it...its not tho..but if it is, i wouldnt be surprised. Like converts come to it to learn about islam, and like they like go questioning muslims asking them stuff and they just walk away from them with a cruel look! :raging: stupid stupid peple so stupid stupid shamelessly stupid and stupid and stupid and cruel and stuuupid!! Then they come to moi the one wita smile ok well actually i go to them sometimes. but yah. and they ask me stuff, and tell me stuff like that theyr so happy to come to islam, and they like got a beautiful tears everywhere from happines of converting to islam, but nobody in the masjid cares! WHY??
oh and at the last part. psh yah right, i cant do nothing. u kno some people wanna start fights in the masjid when u tell em stuff. like they hate it when u help em or something. and once this one girl comes up to me and says " i hate praying, its so gay" and i try and give her a nasiha in a KIND way and she totally jumps at me im like "chill yo chill!" i swear like half them wanna start real fights, but nobody wanna do that in a masjid. (otherwise SOMMMEBODY would be layin ina hospital right now k not really im not that mean)

Or maybe it was built so the losers can earn $200 a month for sunday school or saturday school! Yah i kno i dont go to it. thank god my parents couldnt afford us going to the sunday school anymore :statisfie:statisfie

Im a sis. and no i wasnt being racist, im saying that theey hire peple who dont know islam and they make em teach us stuff, you know even half of them ARENT MUSLIMS.
lol. sorry :-[ i got a bad mouth. buh hey i told yall im a bad as hell muslim...as in im bad at being a muslim

I wish they could have good masjids here. when i could (if i could) i would build a TRUE ISLAMIC masjid with bricks and pine leaves. NO SPORTS PLACE. NO CAFETERIA. NO OFFICES. NO CLASSES. NO LIBRARY. NO COMPUTER ROOMS. NO PLAYGROUND. NOthing but prayer rooms. thats the old type of masjids, the TRUE type of masjids that have been buried under the dirt of american culture

You can look at it both ways. Maybe the people in it are not angels but at least theyre in the Masjid. Theres a millions of things so haram to do in the USA at least theyre spending there time in the Mosque. It seems like ur Mosque got part of the picture right. B/c about 50% of muslims are between the ages 5-18. This means that over 50% of the Mosques spending should be on teenagers, they need to find way to keep them in the Mosque n outta trouble.
Now I dont know what to say about the Shaikh checking out the ladies and the guys blasting Music and the school being bad. So mayb your Mosque has part of the picture correct but needs Alot of help in the other part.
You should go to the board of directors of the Masjid and tell them all the things they are doing right and then tell them the bad parts, and how to fix them. If you cant talk to them in person, then at least write a letter or tell ur dad/brother to talk to them. Because it seems that your Masjid can still be saved, i mean at least the youth still come to the Masjid

Yes i know, thats exactly what i thought. then when i asked some sisters why they go to the masjid, they say to meet up with friends, "partay" with music, and play sports. im jus like :-[hehehehe no seriously. what about the praying? they said its boring. its stupid. its useless. nobody does it. bla bla bla. thats the part when u try nd talk to em, then walk away before u turn into them, coz i swear the god its like devils in a masjid!! omg astaghfirallah but seriously! like i dont dare to bring my ipod to the masjid, coz im afraid i would lissen to music, then they turn up music and i LIKE to lissen to it :enough!:. so that just makes my music crap even worse! I even asked an imam if music was haram, he said a bunch of bulllll and i thoguht it was ok then.
and there is adults there, they dont care about whats going on though. Even the board of directors people dont care, i tried and tell em stuff about stuff and they like "i cant help it" and im like "??? arent u in total control??" they like " :rollseyes go back to class" and since the school is so unorganized i walked outside instead. they so piss me off i swear
and my dad and brothers dont do nothing. they dont pray jum'ah wat makes u think they gonna care about what the hell is goin on in the "masjid" ? besides i tell them, me and my brothers just sit there making fun of them! :-[:raging: but do nothing. its "the art of complaining" liek baba ali says.
if i was a guy i would do something coz then they fear meh :rollseyes. and if i was like 18+:statisfie

 

[BlissfullyJaded]

Ah wow. That's scary. May Allah guide them. Ameen.

Until a better option opens for you sis, just stay away. And you're not a bad Muslim. At least you are aware of the wrongs and you're not partaking in it and you're trying to change for the better alhamdulillah. <3

PFTTTT WHAT?
They do that?
Dude my masjid is SO different.
Like all I do there is teach annoying little kids with my friends.. haha
But usually we know everything about everyone. The Sheikhs interact with the students...they care..
But maybe because the masjid you go to seems really big
I mean Basket Ball court
Cafeteria...
It does seem pretty appealing and might take your mind off of praying and stuff...
But bring the issue up with your parents...or with someone in charge lol
or try to get someone who agrees with you...and take charge
Nothing like that happens here...
but try workin somehting out

yah ya kno, once when i used to go to sunday school there, i decided to take a "walk" around the skool , during class (since nobody cares...tis all bout the $$) and i walked into a first grade or kindergarten class (coudlnt tell which one) and there were alphabets on the board, and the kids start tellin me "are we gonna learn those?" and lol ok see the teacher werent there so they thought i was the teacher, and im like "umm...what were u learning ?" and they like "no we havent learned, all this year we play "heads up 7's up" " and im like omg ur kidding. so the teachers get paid for playing games with kids...:raging:

But maybe because the masjid you go to seems really big

no it was all kwl. THEN they added this crap for the school, and peopel were addicted to it, and more people came (not to pray) and they had to make it bigger, and bigger and more "better" . and emm...more...expensive for the thing u gotta pay for.
You know, last year they had a "improvement plan" that would be completed this spring . and they completed it, and when we go to teh masjid, i see NO difference, then i go outside and see a tennis court, soccor field, better basketball hoops, INA COURT, bigger playground, and im like ina masjid?????

But bring the issue up with your parents...or with someone in charge lol
or try to get someone who agrees with you...and take charge

not in this country, in this century.

Nothing like that happens here...
but try workin somehting out

sit home and watch people sin is best. actually the only choice pretty much
