the first thing i would like to mention is that ... for Muslim women its is better to pray at home ...but that does't mean they should have less space at a mosque this is clearly an act of ignorance ALLAH says in the HOLY QURAN
O mankind! Lo! We have created you from male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.

Damn muslim woman, dont know their place. We gave woman the same rights as men, is this not enough? Now MUSLIM woman want rights?
Soon they say Blacks and Homosexuals are to be treated "equal" to other people, disgusting and horrible, this is what education does to people, they become independent and start thinking for themselves.. Bad Muslims, bad.

Does an Imam lead the prayers? Where does he stand or whatever? Draw us a picture, so to speak. What is the service like?

hahahahha... when we go to the mosque our minds should only be focused on the prayer as you know women can be of great distraction:yes:

the imam is at the front in the men's floor and with the help of the microphones ladies can here what he is reciting

I see. So it sounds like you're O.K. with gender segregation, you just think the women should have equal space.
Are there any women Imams?

hi
in mosques people perform salaats -before God-. it is not good to be distracted by anything at all during salaats. because one needs to be thinking of God and no other. that's why women and men perform salaats separate.
Do you think that some of the people might find this segregation to be a distraction? Speaking for myself, if someone at my wife's church told me that she and I couldn't sit together, I'd have a very hard time concentrating on anything else for the rest of the service.

But then why aren't men seperated as well? Men would be distracted by eachother as well, be it homosexuals or friends, family or just being social.
Hmm.hi
.
Again, speaking for myself, if I knew my wife was nearby but separated from me, I'd be very distracted. Much more than if she was sitting next to me.

YA .but she can only pray with her fellow women & at home ... because the voice of women makes men wonder what she looks like and all these things

It doesn't seem to be a problem in Christian churches. Do they have more discipline and self-control than Muslims?
Because I love her and want to be near her, and the fact that we are in the same building would mean that I could be near her easily. This would make me think ahead to seeing her. I'd also tend to think about little distracting details, like where in the building we'd meet, and how quickly I'd have to go there to avoid her or me waiting excessively.
When I'm with her, I still think about her, but there obviously isn't the same sense of anticipation, because the thing I'd anticipate would have already occurred. I also wouldn't have the same logistical worry of planning my meeting with her after the service.
