Abdul Nasir Jangda – 30 Days 30 Questions about Ramadan – EP13

			So I want to lineberger to dissolve the Nazi agenda, we have a column Institute. Coming back to you
with another session of the column Hangout. The special Milan series, we have 30 days three
questions. The question we have today is about women. Can women go to the masjid for tarawih
prayers? And should women go to their eat prayer? So I'm going to answer these two questions or I'm
going to answer, you know, each issue separately, I'm going to turn this one question into two
answers. The first answer is about women going to the masjid for tarawih prayers. So I'd like to
refer you back so that this video doesn't get too long. Go back and watch the previous color hangout
		

			video that was called eight or 20. And you'll find more details there about the tarawih prayers, but
it's an emphasize enough for men. For women, it is not as emphasized not only that the Prophet of
Allah salatu salam has also told us that women get more reward for praying at home. Now, let's not
convolute that issue into something else that's understand the profits a lot a centum has been very
merciful and kind and accommodating and consoling women who might not be able to come to the masjid
due to safety concerns, or due to younger children, that the Prophet of Allah allottee so missing,
don't worry, you're a bad guy, Your Worship is not in vain. But rather you get even more reward for
		

			praying at home because you show persistence and consistency and steadfastness. However, having said
that, it works on the other side as well, because the Prophet of Allah Salallahu alaihe salam has
also told us Do not prevent, do not prohibit do not prevent women from coming to the masjid. So
therefore, it is permissible for women to come to the masjid for tarawih prayers, and it will be an
active reward for them. And if they're not able to come due to children due to safety concerns, rest
assured that our women folk, our sisters will still get, you know, just as much reward and even more
reward for still, you know, praying at home and having the dedication to pray at home. Now, having
		

			said that, what I'd like to address is go a little bit further, dig a little deeper, and understand
that Ramadan is a time of spirituality. And with everything else that's going on around us, there's
a great need for spirituality that every person has going and praying in a congregation of a couple
of 100 people hearing her father of the Quran, who Mashallah recite the Quran very well, very
beautifully, reciting the book of Allah properly into tarawih prayers, the scholar, the Imam, the
sheer giving a heart that are reminder a reflection in the middle of the tarawih prayers, that is a
very, very spiritually nourishing and charging environment. And our sisters need that just as much
		

			as our brothers. That's where I would strongly recommend to folks that are in charge of massage and
in communities that accommodate our sisters do not restrict them from coming to the machine, but
accommodate them. I would also encourage family members, be supportive of women folk go into the
machine and maybe go with them. If you have concerns for safety or whatever the case may be. go
together as a family, it's very, very important. At the same time, real quickly want to advise my
sisters, that if going to the machine does involve a certain amount of risk. Maybe the machine is
not in a safe neighborhood, or it involves driving through a bad area. bad neighborhood. Please be
		

			very sensible. Be Be cautious, and you don't want to put yourself in harm's way, unnecessarily. All
right.
		

			Another thing that I will go ahead and say here, which always
		

			it's a little it can be misunderstood by some people. I'm going to refer you back to a video I
recorded up on a weekly video recently called family friendly Ramadan, please just go and watch the
video. So I don't have to, you know, reiterate everything here. But one of the recommendations that
I presented was as long as their safety and it's good and there's a good community and there's good
accommodations for sisters at the masjid. I even recommend for younger families, that the dad the
husband, maybe take the responsibility of watching the little kids at home every now and then to
allow the sister the wife or the mother to be able to go to the masjid and experience the blessing
		

			of Ramadan without having to chase the little kids around during taraweeh prayer in the masjid and
get yelled at and scolded by scolded by other people. One other recommendation I will also add that
let's try to have some empathy in our communities. It's it's really aggressive. It's actually quite
scary on the sister side of it. You know, we often talk about brothers being very you know, mean to
sisters at the masjid.
		

			The experience of a lot of my family members were a young family my sister, you know has a little
kid as well. What our experience has been is that sometimes sisters are a lot more meaner to other
sisters at the masjid. And that's very, very difficult for me to grasp. A lot of times older sisters
who might not have little kids are being very rude and very mean to sisters that have younger kids.
Look, I understand a little kid is making a noise but that's what a little kid is supposed to do.
		

			They're supposed to make noise. And the older sister needs to go back and think about the time when
her kids were young. And she needs to be more understanding, more understanding and more empathetic
towards our sister. And so just a little bit of advice about women going for tarawih prayers. The
second part of the question was about women going to their eighth prayer. That's very
straightforward and simple. The Prophet of Allah allottee Some said, Everybody should go for a
prayer. It is the time for the whole community to come together, show the numbers of Muslims, young
and old men and women, everybody go for a prayer. Take the senior citizens take the little babies,
		

			someone saw the profits, a lot of something even sisters who are not able to pray at that time, due
to their menstrual cycle, they could still go and join the congregation of their eighth prayer. Just
a side little note. Let's try to be you know, let's try to maintain some modesty and some decency
when we do go for a prayer. But nevertheless, everyone should go for either prayer. So inshallah
