[quote]I would like to answer the queries of brother Abdullah. Brother you said that in the mosques first few lines of men are best and last few line of women are best. You have given a very good explanation of it as well but I see this command in another perspective.

If women are standing in front of men, then believe me no men will be offering prayer.... you can practically experience it by standing behind some women. I think this order is to keep prayers as prayers otherwise there wouldn't be "prayers" anymore if women are standing in front of men.

Secondly you said that "women are encouraged to pray in the comfort of their homes". What I see here is there is a privelage for women that they can pray at home, but what if they want to come to mosque ? are they allowed or not? Surely they are allowed. Now problem is that we men don't allow these women to join us in the mosque so as a consequence they are building their own mosque.

Brother xxbasxx has said that if women were meant to have a mosque for themselve they would have had permission from the Prophet (sws). I agree that we can't see any permission from the Prophet (sws) but at the same time we can't see any refusal of building such mosques. Basically, at that time this was never required and was never a question of building a separate mosque. The reason is very simple that nobody stopped women for going to mosques at that time. Actually the problem is evolved now & we have to seek a solution now. I believe that we have to see if there is anything contradicting the basic rules of Islam then we have to condemn it otherwise there should be no problem.

And if we want to stop the ladies for building their separate mosques, then we have to change the thinking of our society and let the women join men in the mosque.[/quote]
