[quote]Assalamu Alaykum
Dearest sister shahidah, please forgive me if it seems i am discouraging any muslim sister from following the right path or seeking knowledge and spiritual guidance, that is not my intention at all astigfirallah, all i am trying to put across is Allah has said it is incumbant on all insaan to seek knowledge i feel however that we as sisters are trying to encourage sisters to attend mosques for prayer and this is going against the advice given by our prophet s.a.w. Islamic knowledge is not only available in mosques it is widely available from many different vehicles eg internet library, womens groups etc etc. women have always been allowed to go to the mosque it was an advice from the prophet s.a.w to let them go if they wished and do not stop them. but members of the sahabah who were far more pious that muslims of today are known have discouraged this rather than encourage. there is also hadith narrated from hazrat Aisha may allah be pleased with her that she said if the prophet s.a.w could see the state of the women today he would have banned women from the mosque completely. do we think we are more pious that the women of those times I certainly dont. Yes let women make up thier own minds but tell them what our prophet has advised then let them choose the middle path.
again i ask please forgive me if i have offended anyone this is not my intention
and allah most certainly knows best.
