Muhammad said women were deficient in intelligence and deficient in religion,inferior to men,almost equal to donkeys so how can they be allowed at mosques?
Before I get any hate mails,here is my proof,from Mohammeds own mouth,he is the allah's apostle in this hadith.


"Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Once Allah's apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's apostle?" He replied, "You curse frequently are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you". The women asked, "O Allah's apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in your intelligence. Isn't it true that a women can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said: "This is the deficiency in your religion." Bukhari, volume 1, #301, and vol. 3, #826:

Don't abuse Muslim women for your selfish reason.There are many Hadith that praised women I don't know why you only see this one.Let me enlightening you little The Prophet said the above hadith to caution women from going beyond the boardry of God.Remember you can't reverse what God has done.
official:

you Muslims are local in all doings.
It is better to follow your creator than follow your fellow human reasoning.What do you mean by being Local?

@ Ishmael
Your understanding of Islam is zero for asking this question and you bear Ishmael.Even in Ka'aba Muslims both men and women pray together.Prophet only encouraged women to pray at home is better.

@Realpoint,

Be honest. Your explanation is not at all the reason why Muhammad pronounced women as half-witted human beings.

There is no basis for that in the Hadith or even in the Qur'an. Men and women are prone to want to go beyond set boundaries; so why is it that only women be singled out and given such pronouncements of being half intelligent?
Re: Men And Women Don't Pray Together In The Mosque. Why? by agbola(m): 11:30pm On Jun 01, 2007
i feel everybodi has his way of worshipping God, and it is based n what he/she believes, som churches too adopt d practice of seperatin men from women like CAC, Olorunsogo, Mushin where i used to attend when i was younger. I feel this is due to some old belief that like Eve did to Adam, women have a way of distracting men from their religious duties, that was why Paul advised that it will be better for male ministers of God to desist from women and getting married (if they can hold bodi, it is not by force ooo).

My dear,I don't care how many hadiths "praised women".
The mere fact that a so called apostle of allah said most people in hell fire were women due to their lack of intelligence cancels any good he ever said about more than 50% of the population.
I don't understand why you even attempt attempt to colorize allah's words,he knows best,doesn't he?grin

Islamic_I believe it is time for you to do something about those that does not want to respect islamic ethics, it is very bad to be seeing this kind of a thread, for some nasty entity just feels they can just be rubbishing isllam religion on the net, this is very bad of them, what kind on a nationality do they portrait?, This is a time Nigerian to see as one love family irrepective of our religion background, but some fools are just there just to foment hatred, and religious instability, Who are they? Are they God, Just ordinary creature by God, that does not know what the hereafter will be for them, just saying jagons from their mouth,

This is very bad indeed, how many Muslim have antagonize christianity religion, Islam is jut being seen from them as another perfectively because they don't know about it, if they want to know they should seek for knowledge, and they should stop saying what could cost them there hereafter.

Well, i could not blame them, because i see them as enemy of peace, a threat to the nation whereby, injustice will be their portion, if anyone of them considered to be in public office, because already they have natural hatred for a particular religion.

Sen do some about this fast, these kind of post is not too good for the Muslim on this forum to be reading

God be with you oooooo

If you're calling for clemency, you don't refer to others as 'nasty entity'. That's very bad of you; and such name-calling will only promote the things you dread. smiley

There you go again. If you're asking people to be respectful but you don't respect them, then you're inviting the very same disrespect you serve others. smiley

Several Muslims have antagonized, castigated, cast aspersions on, derided, maligned, calumniated, besmirched, denigrated, sullied and slandered Christianity. Go ask oyb; ask islampride; ask kismat; . . . and then the chief inspectorate and honourable rank xeroxer/plagiarizer: babs787. Infact, it was babs himself who referred to your own Muslim translators as "deluded authors that lied in order to deceive"!!

The same reason that christians pray with their eyes closed. That's what's required by the religion.
@sosoella, things that are common to you may also be uncommon to other people. That's why we're all different.
For example some people find it hard to understand why christians sing and dance as a religious practice.

Be prepared to come across many uncommon things as you learn more and meet more people. Just don't assume your way of doing things is the "common" or "right" way. The world is so big and people so diverse. The earlier you accept that, the happier you will be.

if you reflect, you will realise i am replying to your friends' slander.(the best form of defense is offense). i do not go out of my way to slander anyone's religion, but what is good for the goose is good for the gander. in any event one davidlyan/nossycheek(clear that log from your eye!) equals 4 oybs!.

as to men and women praying in the mosque, (this is not from islamic scholars, but from me, before davidlan starts trying to cite thia as a quote from muslim scholars)

The mosque is intended for congregrational prayer. Congregrational prayer is superior to individual prayer. As much as possible, as a muslim, you should avoid any form of distraction from your solaat.(to increase its perfection, and the certainty of it being accepted) woman and men, form distractions for each other.

That may be plausible; but in my own individual opinion as well, any man who cannot keep his heart is a sissified Milquetoast! Outside the mosques sef, the same men have been found doing what their 'kini' were patiently enduring during "reflections". So, whatever excuses they offer is untenable.  grin

oyb:

do you not find yourself looking /ogling classmates(of the opposite sex) in class instead of following the lectures?

I must confess that was my stock in trade before I became a Christian. Even at that, my grades were not that bad. But when I received Christ as my Lord and Saviour, those issues were no longer issues to me. I can pray with Christian women and not have to feel my thoughts wandering at all.  cool

oyb:

do you not find yourself doing the same thing in business meetings?

Nope; and even though many oyibos dey come our office, we can still do business without letting eyes and hearts wander!

Is this why Muslim women are not allowed to drive cars, attend schools, or go out on their own without some kind of Islamic overbearing restrictions?  tongue

Is that why the Muslim northerners are well versed in their acts with dan daudu?

The word homosexuality has no Igbo name and I doubt if it has one in Yoruba but anyone who has spent any length of time in Northern Nigeria knows that way before Nigerians thought it a possibility that men could lay with men,Hausa men,muslims had already perfected their trade with shemales.

hauwa,the only reason I brought this up is because of all the morality especially oyb is quick to drum up accusing catholic priests of pedophilia and portraying pedophilia and homosexuality as a "Christian problem" as though Christianity allows pedophilia.
I know that both Islam and Christianity condemn homosexuality,no doubt.
The mere fact that Hausa northerners led the way in Nigeria when Southern homos were still in the closet,was just my point.

Now that Southerners are catching on do you think the northern pioneers have slowed down?
Immorality knows no culture,when your Muslim brothers accuse Christians of installing gay priests and all that crap boasting that Islam will never allow such,they forget that Christianity does not have a finger or arm cutting worldwide army.

Christianity is by choice,the Bible is the gold standard and the Bible clearly condemns homosexuality.
That the American episcopal Church chooses to have a gay Bishop is a sign of the end times as the Bible says,when men will have itchy ears and get teachers to teach them what they want to hear.
The old and new testaments condemn such acts.

I guess many of us are naive. Our ability to see nothing good in other religions is extra-ordinary. Am a Christian who lives in the Northern part of the country, and I must let you guys know that most of the contributions being made here can lead to religious/civil disturbances. I guess some of you guys need to leave your sations to other parts of the world to get a feel of other things.

There is need to respect and appreciate the next person. Let's have some moderation when expressing our feelings and opinion.

If you are knowledgeable about origin or religions worldwide, we will know that there is usually a division between men and women. I suggest that  some us make some little research or study before making statements to the world. If Islam has chosen to maintain the separation, so be it. Who are we to question or judge that decision - you be God.

LET THERE BE MUTUAL RESPECT.[i][/i]
