			Few, many months. And nothing really that you know, if you will lead the prayer. It does not make
your prayer more important. It is the whole purpose that people should do the prayer in the
congregation in the JAMA to get the full reward. It doesn't matter who did the prayer in the Gema.
Eman does not get more reward than other people. It does not go to Melbourne. He gets everywhere
everybody else.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:34
			Jama is for unity that everybody play by the same data. So that is why in the JAMA it is advised
that leaders should be someone behind whom everybody feels easy to play.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:01:17
			And when in mind use the player that agreement to kind of pray behind him to then Gemma can remain
unity can remain. If the women do the prayer then men are not allowed to prevent them to then they
need to do to Gemma this routine. So that's why we it's not a problem that women cannot read the
prayer they can read the prayer, but they should not discreet disunity. If there are only women, no
men find the lead the prayer. But if there are men, what will happen is that you have to force it to
make to Yama in those cases where there are some men, women should really ask a man to do the
prayer. The unity remits, commandlets appear that everybody can pray behind him is a woman is a
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:52
			prayer men cannot pray. So then they have to make their own Yama to disunity thereby the process
allows them to I shed a lot on how she used to read the prayer. But when when the new mind is in any
mind him or her students, she would ask him to read the prayer. And everybody plays the UTM on the
videos, this dopin of the most people in Islam all the time do there have been one or two people who
say men also can clip 100 women to like a majority of people like that. But that's the opening I
don't like recently. It does not have any example from the life of the person on Islam. It never
happened. And it disappeared. People like Ayesha, she's such a knowledgeable person, everybody asked
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:14
			me, but one time for the player comes in. She makes one of her male student to read the pair if she
could lead for everybody. Why is she done early on when the normal is when she will need to use the
pill. But not when the men are there, too. That way the best thing is for the sake of the Unity when
men and women both are there, a man should lead the prayer there ut remissed here. But if there are
only women here then a woman needs
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:54
			quite a few people don't if you did the opposite. The question never has been raised, whether women
are qualified to do the prayer not not a compulsory question or whether whether men can play 100 we
know not to answer really the men are not qualified to play 100 women you can say like that. Not
that we are not qualified to the pill men are not qualified to play 100 this is actually what I say
to for that purpose. We want to create unity. And then Bradford they started this in a mosque for
women will lead when they started the project to the metal polymer nobody went to accept me I only
I'm the only person went that these women who are respond for that. They may have a separate meeting
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:29
			with me. They asked me that I want to advise how we make it. So I give some advice. And I said to
them, don't be like men. Men don't allow women to don't take revenge that Oh, you just most
qualified women. Men are not allowed. You say no, we are different for other men. We allow men and
women both. And then if the men come then ask them to do the prayer you be more generous to then you
take and remain to make a manly man when better if that nobody meant then you can live up to the
serial promise with me that will do we open the door for a minute. Because we don't want to read the
prayer. We have our intention to find a space where you can teach Allah to the men come they will
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:48
			read the prayer. They accepted that because it's no harm. You know, women are not interested
becoming Master intracellularly they should be allowed to pray that one does it the whole question
came because men forced them out of the mosque to now rebellion is coming. But if men behave
properly and they allow the women to come to the most use all facilities, they're happy, everybody
will happy
