I am So surprised with Few things... But No controversy I can understand things...

Small Intro: I am Muslim , From Tamil Nadu, Trichy District.

Women's Rights to do Prayers in Mosque.

When ever a New Mosque is Built and Inaugurated. On the First day of New Mosque Women Do the Prayers. From Second day on wards only Men start Doing the Prayers.

Again, My native is a Small Village we all moved to city for education and things. But still for Eid we go to our native. To my Knowledge at least for more than 25 yrs in my village For Eid and Bakri Eid Women Do the Prayers in the Mosque.
But Its a Separate Building Space attached with the Mosque has a separate area for Wazoo and separate entrance as well which we call it a Madharsha. Eid Special Prayers everyone do with the Imaam.

Women Education was also given very high importance always lots of Teachers, Engineers and Doctors even before 20 yrs.

But Strict insistence on wearing Burkha, Returning back home on time, Not going out of the house with out a male member. No late coming, No loud talking, No Loud Laughing. Dresses, close neck blouses, Full Sleeve or 3/4th Sleeves, Covering the Hair are all Strict things.

When Any male guest come to our house we should say Salam and Make them take their seat and we should go in. Only the Maids Serve Coffee or Juice to the guest.

Also there is an argument where the Eid Special Prayer is not a Farl (Farz for women) But they are never restricted to do namaz.

So women Should get their rights to do prayer's in Mosque. But it should be left to their option whether they prefer to do it in mosque or not.

In my Place almost 90% of Men in Middle Eastern Countries and the influence is here. So in Jamath itself there will be difference of Opinion on this Sunnath Jamath and Thawaheed Jamath.

People have difference of opinion on everything like.
1. Men wearing Gold Jewellery (Makrooh)
2. The Ritual and Practices of Pre wedding Ceremony.
3. Meher ( Prompt and Differed Meher)
4. Possessing the Gold Jewellery and Jakath
5. They have different Opinion on Tharaweeh
6. Some of them Don't do fathiha's after Funeral's
7. Some of them Don't Say Ameen when there is a Common Prayer as they think asking Dua is personal.

There are too many minor, small small differences in beliefs and Practices... Even in a Family the father son and Brothers have these differences... Obviously between husband and wife these differences are also there...

But it should not affect the relationship and Especially between husband and Wife.
Kabeer Should Know to keep the Work and Personal life separate. Lot of Couples work in same office have this problem. Its a known Problem. Either they Change work or they Change offices. Also they make arrangements to keep things separately.

Now lots of difference are put to rest for the Peace and Best Interest of everyone where everyone is advised that the religion is too personal and everyone have their own faith and right to practice what they want and what they understand and believe and no one have rights to interfere in others personal space and thoughts. Whoever makes the mistake would Answer Allah directly as no one can do wakalath for other person in Allah's Court.⭐️

I love your posts!
They teach me so much about my own religion.

As for mosques and women praying there. It's not about being allowed not it's more to do with the safety and protection of women right?

Now today my Grand ma was watching the Show She is almost 77yrs Old. She was telling that ... Women have rights to Pray in Mosque. She was telling that She used to Do Tharawee During Ramzan and also Eid in the Mosque. But Separate Entrance.

Everyone in our House Said "YES" to Zara's Question.

WOW...!!! They Got this Rights even before 77 Yrs... I so surprised in lots of place this is still a matter of discussion.

thanks for sharing dear
in my native place ... a lady priestess( I dunno what they are called ) comes for conducting namaz for ladies ...on spl occasions or festivals .. she is brought / invited from neighboring village and many villages share the same priestess as very few are there .

she is given lots of respect and all other faith people also hold her in great esteem .

Please note this is a serious attempt to understand and not criticize

Does the above above apply even now or was it 20 years back

i am 37 years old when i was 20 when i had a different deadline of 8 PM of my brothers 9 PM have created arguments. i grew up in a small city in coastal Karnataka in a big joint family.
I have played cricket with most of my brother our cousins and their friends for many years. i guess i stopped playing when i was 18 when i started getting busy with studies.But no one has ever crossed a line with me ever due to this freedom. My grandfather used to say as long as you know your limits all your friends are welcome in our home incl. boys.I guess we grew up in a totally different world OR is it due to cultural or difference in place???

Hello Dear, I understand your Point. We do Play in the streets with fellow friends from neighbor hood but this would change when we become Shadhiki Layak... I have played in the Streets with boys... I Did Hunting, Fishing in Lakes, Played Cricket in the Streets, I played Tennis, badminton with boys till 8th Grade wearing mini skirts in Courts and Stadiums... After We started having changes in our body... Obviously restricted to wear certain kinds of clothes and play certain kind of games... Later things become indoor games... Our family is again a Big joint Family... Lots of Cousins... More boys than Girls ... Only 5 Girls among 17 Boys... We all play together and more a fun filled family... But when we all completed the Graduations things started Changing... They Started Moving out for Jobs in different Countries and Girls Started getting married and move away... There is a famous Saying "Never Grow up Its a TRAP"
