[quote][blue]Now most of u will say that who has stopped, so my dear brothers go and ask the Maulvi, who is considered as the only source of Islam to more than 80% of the population. They never encourage ladies to come to mosques. We know that there were no female mosques at the time of Prophet (sws) but the point is, at that time nobody discourages women going to mosques. [/blue]

You yourself said nobody is encouraging the women to go, and thats the right thing to do.  The prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said it is prefered for women to pray at their houses.  He also said that in a mosque the first few lines of men are the best and in the females the last few lines are the best.  What does this mean?  It means that for the men whoever is in the first lines usually arrived first and had been there for a while praying and reading the quran before the time to pray.  So thus, they gain the most good deeds.  But for the women the last few lines are the best because the women who arrive last when it comes time to pray are the best because they had been home taking care of their families while the other women in the front might have been at the mosque for several hours leaving their children unattended to.  So from this we clearly see that it is better for a women to be at home and pray salat then be at the mosque where she is leaving her children and she is exposing herself to some other dangers which might arise from this.

[blue]So, considering this situation, if some women are couraged enough to take an initiative I think we should praise them. Atleast this way these women's will start going to mosques and we (men) will accept it as well because the men of this part of the world are not ready to give these women the status Islam has given to them.

I've just explained to you the status of women when it comes to this particular subject.  Men are required to pray in congregation while women are encouraged to pray in the comfort of their homes.  I'd also like to add that a lot of mosques don't allow women to come because they don't have enough room to fit them.  If they let women come and theres not enough room to fit everyone then some men will be left outside while women are inside the mosque praying.  Thats not right because the men are required to pray in congregation, especially during Juma prayer.[/quote]
