woman lead friday prayer ASTAGFIRULLAH!

"...TO break religious traditions, female worshippers lined up in the first rows, saying they had broken what they have called "limitations imposed by extremists against women in the mosques treating their spiritual rights unjustly".




Many of the women in attendance were modestly dressed and, in accordance with Islamic tradition, covered their hair with the hijab, or headscarf. But others shunned the scarf and wore form-fitting jeans or pants."

This is playing the scrit of the DEVIL WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO HURT ISLAM AND ITS FOLLOWERS.
The idea that a human will imagine that he or she can change God s law or decree over creations and issues is not fordivable...if you feel that GOD S LAWS ARE OLD FASHIONED, then make your own and live by such laws.
It is unacceptable for any one to claim to be muslim and try to change God's laws to fit/suite him/her.
You could form your own religion and have your own laws and call your religion the name you want...NO QUALMS.

BUT ISLAM AS REVEALED BY ALLAH, [TO WHOM BE PRAISE] ENJOINED THE UMMA TO SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF ALLAH.
Who created you? Who granted you your body, your eyes, or the color of your hair? Who determined the shape of your body or the color of your eyes? Who created all other people, the heavens, Earth, and every living being in between? Who determined the order of the planets, the Sun, and the stars in the depths of space?

Your answers to all these questions will be the same: “Allah.” When asked to other people, they will also answer: “Allah.” Indeed, Allah informs us in the Qur'an that people will confess this fact, as follows:

If you ask them: “Who created the heavens and Earth and made the Sun and Moon subservient?” They will say: “Allah.” So how have they been deluded [away from the truth]? ( Surat al-‘Ankabut, 29:61)

So, how well do you know our Creator, Who planned you and the entire universe with a delicate equilibrium? Are you aware that He sees and hears you every moment and knows your every act? Where do you think Allah is? Did He create you and then leave you to your own devices? Does He tell you how to live? Can you see Him? Has anyone talked with Him? What other creatures did He create? What kind of a life does He promise after death?

WHO IN HIS RIGHT SENSES WILL QUESTIONS THE ALMIGHTY WHO KNOWS ALL THINGS...BEFORE, NOW AND THE FUTURE?
BEFORE LONG, WE SHALL BE SEEING WOMEN LEADING PRAYERS IN MINIS AND SLEEVE LESS TOP...THE CULTURE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT IS NOT SAME WITH THE ISLAMIC CULTURE.
THE MODE OF DRESSING YOU SEE TODAY IN AMERICA WAS NOT SO YEARS BACK BUT ISLAM HAS STOOD TIME FOR GOD WHO CREATED YOU KNOWS CERTAINLY WHATS BEST FOR YOU.
SO, IF YOU BEEN BRAINWASHED, NO MATTER THE PRICE, PLS KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES...DO NOT INTERPRET THE SCRIPTURES TO SUITE YOUR HUMAN DESIRE.
REMEMBER THE GROUP OF WOMEN THAT FASHIONED THEIR OWN BIBLE? WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM IS NO STRANGER.

I tried filling out an 'endorsement' form but it didnt seem to work...is it because I didnt fill in all the boxes? It just said page could not be displayed..
 
Re: Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch Out Brothers And Sisters!!!

yes thats true but we have to let them know that they are doing a wrong thing. and that they must stop before this gets out of hand, then others start following in their foot steps, because thats how fitnah (corruption) starts when a group does something which is againts islam and then nobody seems to say any thing against, it then others start to follow.

Women leading congregational prayer- Haraam

Salaam brothers and sisters,


I wanted to take this time today to correct the mis-interpretation of some sisters regarding congregation prayers. Who is supposed to lead them; etc: As I am aware and perhaps the rest of you know that there are some mis-guided sisters who have lead the congregational prayers in the past. Which is not right. Unfortunatley they need the clarification that males and only males can do it. This tradition has been going on for thousands of years and it is only today that they are going to break that tradition? May Allah(swt) guide them to their right minds. I have read about this before and I had never got the chance to speak my mind pertaining to this matter. Therefore, I use this opportunity to speak it. Any brothers and sisters are open to this discussion. (inshallah) There is a ahadith that gives them the clarification that only males can do it. When I read the article that when that one sister lead the prayers in addition to that there were males standing behind her astaghfirallah. They should've spoken up and let her know that is a brother's job. Especailly in big islamic communities when congregation prayers are taking place it is vital that a male has to lead.

In the act of congregational prayers with both sexes, a man has to lead the congregational prayer. This has been mandated from the time of Abraham with no change. Any change now will be an innovation. A women leading a group or congregational prayer, is a detail that is not mentioned in the Quran, similar to the absence of details concerning rituals of our religious practices. A woman leading a congregational prayer with men present would be a "religious" innovation that contradicts God's system that was inherited and fully preserved since Abraham. The Quran strongly condemns innovation (6:138-140, 7:53, 7:71, 12:40, 16:56, 46:28).

Good reminder. :) No-one can argue with that!

I just think this is plain wrong as the prophet never said that women should lead and nothin in the Quran states that. Its a little wierd.

Selam aleykum
Before comenting here let me start off by saying I know little about this topic and have no strong opinion on it, but simply intend to find out more about it. Just so nobody would feel offended, regard my post as a question rather then a statement.

First of all what source (qur'an/hadieth) are used to rule on wether or not this is alowed.
Secondly, I'm told that there would be a hadieth that stated that prophet muhammed (peace be upon him) alowed a woman to lead prayer (once). Is this a fabricated hadieth? Or was this an exeptional case?

To answer this bit of your question:

It is only allowed for a woman to pray if there is a group of other women, and there is no male leader to lead the prayers. That is the only time ever that a woman can lead the prayers. However, she can never lead prayers in front of non-mahram males because to this point it is then considered haraam. This is where this rule prescribed in the hadith that all women must pray behind males.




1) Imam (male leader)
2) men
3) women
4) children






That's the order prescribed in the hadith. However, in the Quran it says that we should pray 5x times a day, but it doesn't say exactly which order. This order here is prescribed in the hadith, and it was highly recommend by Prophet Muhammed (saw). Theer are plenty of reasons why a women cannot lead the prayers. Let alone the fact that she cannot say the ad'han, it is strictly forbidden. The reason why it is so is because her voice can cause (awrah) temptation amongst the men.

why are there no women imams in islam ?

:sl:

One of the Anti Islam website I was looking at…how should I answer back?

why are there no women imams in islam ?

USA (March 18, 2005)
NOTE: The incident discussed in this item got a lot of news coverage, but all of the above instances pre-date the congregation in New York described in this section.
In early 2005, it was announced that Amina Wadud, an African American Muslim, and a professor of Islamic studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, would lead a congregation in Friday salat prayer in New York, sponsored by the Muslim Women's Freedom Tour, [12] under the leadership of Asra Q. Nomani, and by the website "Muslim WakeUp!". The Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America responded by issuing a fatwa reiterating the traditional view: "A unanimous consensus for the entire Ummah (Muslim community) in the east and west [is] that women can not lead the Friday prayer nor can they deliver the [sermon]. Whoever takes part in such a prayer, then his prayer is nullified, whether he was an Imam or a follower." Supporters of the event insisted that, to the contrary, it was a long overdue change; Khaled Abou El-Fadl, professor of Islamic Studies at UCLA, California (apparently unaware of previous cases of women leading mixed congregations), said that "What the fundamentalists are worried about is that there's going to be a ripple effect not just in the U.S. but all over the Muslim world. The women who are learned and frustrated that they cannot be the imam are going to see that someone got the guts to break ranks and do it."
