Why in Islam the only people you see praying in Mosques are male?

NO, i assure you that is not the case , but the fact is that women are advised to pray at home but can choose whether to pray a the mosque whereas men are advised to pray in the mosque but can only pray at home if they cant go to the mosque. both men and women are seen as EQUAL and god does not see any difference between them except in piety. they do participate in religious services and are obliged to attend certain ones, for example funerals. i know u may not know much about islam other than some of the things portrayed by the media which most times can be seen as complete hokum. but you have understand that Islam is a fair religion and that just being a man or a woman has no effect on your status. men are given different roles o women and that is why there is mostly men in mosques and not women.

plus i wiould like you to consider what is better not having to go to the mosque 5 times a day and praying a home or traveling to the mosque 5 times everyday even in bad weather conditions. Dont women have it easier than men?

I am a Muslim girl (17 yrs old) me and all the women in my family go to the mosque just as much as the men. Both are encouraged in the same way however, men have been 'commanded' to go to the mosque and they must attend. As a female I prefer the fact that although I can go to the mosque as much as I like, I do not 'have to'. At a particular time of month when a woman is on her menstruation cycle, her body is impure and for that time you are not supposed to pray, so going to the mosque is pointless for that time, imagine if women were commanded to go like men, that would be inconvenient for a woman, but a man does not have periods so he can attend prayers all year. The reason that this is only a commandment for men is to cater the needs of women and their children. I have two younger sisters who when we take to the mosque, cause a lot of noise to others praying, so often it is better to pray at home. Furthermore, it is women who go through pregnancies. Can you imagine being 8-9 months pregnant and having to go to the mosque every Friday. That would just be cruel (i.e. the journey and then sitting there for an hour). Islam looks at all the necessary attributes of men and women and therefore has given women an option of attending prayers at the mosque due to these reasons. The mosque is however, welcome to everyone.

Hope I answered your question and released the doubt from your mind :) You should come see my mosque, its packed with ladies!

Hello,

First of all, women and men always pray separately, never together. We have completely different rooms. Where you see the men, you will not see one woman and where you see women, you will not see one man. It is nothing about inequality. We are always to separate genders. Would a man really be able to focus on prayer if a woman was praying right next to him?

Also, it is obligatory for men to pray the Friday prayers, not for women. In Islam, the best place for a woman to pray is in the comforts of her own home. I don't see that as bad in any way. It eases the woman's life, knowing that the best place to pray is at home. She can leave if she wants too though.

Anyone can go to a Mosque. I go every week for classes and pray there as well. It is not that women are not equal. We are equal. Allah made us equal, men and women. We were made to have different purposes but to Allah, we are all equal and will be judged equally.

I am happy for your interest in Islam. Good day!

Women pray at the mosque also, but most of the times not in the same room as the men so as to protect the decency between the opposite sexe. It is a place of worship, not a bar :)

the religion doesn t treat men and women differently, but of course people are sexist and twist religion to fit their narrative. some mosques don t allow women at all, while most give them a separate room. that separate room is usually used for other things during other times of the day so don t expect as a woman to go any time of the day and pray in there. Don t expect that room to be as well maintained as the mens section either. They say it s because women are a "distraction", but they are able to walk around the western world and work with uncovered women and do just fine. They are just excuses.

I think naturally immigrants that move to the west become more conservative when they move here because there is a strong christian and secular society that they don t connect to.

Men are required to attend Friday prayer in the mosque

Women can choose to go or not go. Totally optional. Most prefer to stay at home or work to finish up errands but if they are able, they often go to the mosque.

Basically, men and women have some measure of equality based on the situation

And Men and Women usually have different parts of the mosques they can pray in. They are not to mix when praying.

Because it is not a must, but optional for women to go to the mosque and do their prayers or attend other mosque services, though it is obligatory for them to do the 5 prayers a day too, but at home. A special added privilege, given to the females in their best interest. Because it is not possible, by their nature to frequently attend the mosque services at specific times, and also because to protect them from slanders which could land them in troubles in life, specially 'married life'. However they can attend mosque services too, if they want, but 'segregated' from men due to their presence that shall distract 'men' from ' 'focus'.

The only place where Islam says women are not equal to men is where it says that, 'women are biologically and physically not equal'.

Otherwise 'no'. And in some cases, Islam even treats them as more than equal to men. For example, in sharing of inheritance, though on the out set, the rules on sharing of fortune left by a deceased father, that 1 part goes to the daughter and 2 parts going to the son, may seem 'insidious',, but by the condition laid in that rule that the 1 part that the daughter gets is for her 'personally' , while the 2 parts that the son gets, it is for him to spend on his sister as well, it is not.

This because women's role in this scheme of life is totally different from that of men, and for they are also created physically weak in strength.

But to make up for this, special 'for women only' services are also conducted from time to time in the mosques and other places. In such cases, the men are 'segregated' from the women. Still in the best interest of 'womenfolks'.

Islam is a 'Ocean of Spiritual Wisdom' that needs to be explored, not to be ridiculed.

Hope that helps.

And only God knows best.

When you visit a mosque to witness prayers you are allowed into the main hall where the men worship. In the mosque I visited we sat in the rear of the hall. There were darkened glass windows in the back behind us. Beyond these darkened windows is where the women worship. In other words, women are kept separate from the men and do not mingle.

This is part of Muslim culture. In general, wives are accompanied by their husbands when they go out into society to shop, for example. Mingling of women (especially wives) and other men is forbidden.

Don't smoke. Smoking ages your ovaries and depletes your eggs prematurely. If you smoke, ask your health care provider to help you quit before conception.

Don't drink alcohol. Research suggests that drinking alcohol appears to decrease fertility and can harm a developing baby. Generally, it's best to avoid alcohol if you're hoping to conceive.

Don't take medication without your health care provider's OK. Certain medications — even those available without a prescription — can make it difficult to conceive. Others might not be safe once you're pregnant.

Don't depend on vaginal lubricants. Various over-the-counter vaginal lubricants can decrease fertility. Saliva can have the same effect. If you need a lubricant, consider mineral oil or canola oil — or ask your doctor for other suggestions.

Don't overdo strenuous exercise. Although moderate physical activity can help promote fertility, going overboard might have the opposite effect. Some research suggests that five or more hours a week of vigorous aerobic activity can actually impair the fertility of a woman who isn't overweight.
