Mosques Why Do Women Sit Behind Men by basilico: 7:26am On Nov 01, 2015
I go to church and sit anywhere. Between women as long as its a seat. In a mosque men sit infront and women behind them. Why? Machoism or Allah orders?

I see no big deal in it sha. Even if they sat in front, people will still talk.
Besides, some churches segregate too. Men and women dont sit together. Plus in churches we have chairs and each persin sits in his or her own space. Mosques they sit on the floor and huddle clise to each other.
Me I see no big deal in it. But that is my own opinion.

I'll quote Turkish President Erdogan


“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets,
the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers...

―Recep Tayyip Erdogan
* Source/Notes:
1998



He was a mayor then in 1998.
I posit that if a mosque is a barrack then it makes sense for women as non combatants to sit behind the army of men

Why can't western leaders spend all their energy and intelligence assets to query what goes on in mosques.
Why don't the western leaders stop spreading the lie that " Islam is a religion of peace, No religion teaches violence, ISIS is not Islamic "
?

Re: Mosques Why Do Women Sit Behind Men by kolomax(m): 7:52am On Nov 01, 2015
you are wondering why
women would be lined up behind men, that's nothing to
do with showing less respect but actually respect to
their being. Muslims pray with actions, such as bowing,
as well as prostrating so you could imagine how men
would react to a lady in front of them bowing so it will definitely distract them.. Also many people don't know that
Muslim women are not obliged to pray at the mosque.
This is nothing but a great example of how Islam
shows respect and appreciation to women by making
conducting a prayer much easier than for a man who is
more obliged to conduct the prayer at a mosque. Some
women are pregnant, others would be living far away
without the ability to drive or walk alone to a mosque,
elderly women have more things to take care of at
home, and therefore again Islam takes all these factors
into consideration.

A muslim friend I have said its because women sitting in front could be a distraction during prayer. As in, when they bow to make their prayers, the sight of the women's bum-bum in the air right in front of the man's eyes could cause him to forget prayers and concentrate on it instead.

Re: Mosques Why Do Women Sit Behind Men by kimond101: 8:08am On Nov 01, 2015
During the early days when the prayer was instituted, they would shout out to each other during the prayer, ‘how far are you? How many cycles/rakats have you completed’. Men would wink at women and even grab them. It was the Prophets wife, Safiyyah (the daughter of Huyayy ibn Akhtab, chief of the Banu Nadir) who complained to the Prophet because some of the Bedouins would wink and grabbed the ladies during Salah. This was the reason for the prophet (peace be upon him) saying, ‘Men should stand in front during prayer and females should stand at the back, while children are in between’.

The reason for this is twofold,

a) Men were not disciplined and b) Women were disciplined.

For some strange reason we tend to believe that woman at the back in prayer means they are lower and less deserving and men have power. If you think about it, when we were younger and in school, the disciplined students would sit at the back while those who were a bit rowdy would sit right in front.

Initially, at the Masjid al-Nabawi, men and women would enter the mosque through the same door. When this caused overcrowding on entrances and exits, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said ‘It would be better if this door (in the Holy City) is left for women.’

Upon saying so, the men made that door for women, and it became known up until today as “The Women’s Door” or Bab al-Nisa.

And Allah knows best,

just imagine you seeing a woman bum during prayer won't you have an attention Once you have that you need to perform another ablution but if a dog touches you, you need to change the clothes completely

The prophet instructed his followers on how to pray. Wash your hands,feet and do some raqqa while prostrating with your arse facing to mecca.
As a Christian I only bow my head and close my eyes during prayer. Catholics don't have to close their eyes.

When praying why should I be distracted by a woman? Why should I be praying if a woman's bum bum will distract me?

Seems like Islam is built on how to avoid tempting men into sex.
Consensual or forced (rape)
Re: Mosques Why Do Women Sit Behind Men by Owliver(m): 8:56am On Nov 01, 2015
they are lesser being. thats why in saudi arabia four women must admit against a crime in a court in order to refute the claim of "one man" lol that happens cos like the koran says, the female intellegence is half a man's.... grin

Let me educate you on this.
The Islam prophet marries a nine old gal when he was 54 years old. One night during a raid she lost her necklace. cShe left the caravan to look for it. She was found by a young stud whom they spent the night and returned to Mecca the following morning. Some people said she had an affair.
Allah revealed a verse that for a woman to be charged of unconsensual sexxxx act she must produce four witnesses.
