Has Anyone Seen Female Muslims Go To Mosque And/or Pray 5 Times A Day, As Required By Islam?

[willbewhatiwill]

I seen male worshippers in mosque and also praying in public but NOT female Muslim worshippers.

It appears, in Islam, woman are treated unequally with man. For example, https://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/07/why-islam-permits-exactly-four-wives stated, "But when Koran 4:3 appeared, telling Muslim men to  'Marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four,' a man came to Islam’s prophet Muhammad saying, I have 19 wives, what do I do now?  Muhammad told him, keep four and divorce the rest".

At my local mosque, I only ever see men entering/leaving.
At another mosque in the same city, Ive noticed that they have separate entrances for men and women.

Similar experience to Nailit in my town too, I imagine it varies.

Ah, it was worth the wait, todays Muslim/ Anti- Muslim Thread has appeared.

Compared to the proportion of Muslim men to Muslim women going to mosques and/or seen pray 5 times a day I would say - the proportion of women worshipping in Mosques is less than 5% in Western Countries, less so in developing countries.

I do hope Naomi sees this.

Muslims are required to pray five times a day which they can do anywhere.It is usual to go to the Mosque on a Friday.

There was a very good Youtube in which a non-Muslim woman reporter managed to get herself in a burkha into the women's part of Regents Park mosque and she recorded what was said by the woman leader and it was astonishing, they were told not associate with kuffar women and it was full of hate for British society. She was rumbled, but managed to get out, but I have never been able to find that video again, I think it was removed from the internet.

I've always been curious, will, about the maths of this issue of men having multiple wives. Unless women can have more than one husband surely there aren't enough women to go round.

At my last school we had an LSA who was Muslim. We set aside a room where she could go and pray each day, and she did so religiously. :-)

[fiction-factory]

At my local mosque there are two doors-male and female- but it does seem to be almost exclusively men and boys who go. At certain time of the day there seem to be well over a hundred people going into a small building and I do wonder how stuffy it must get in there as there seem to be no windows

Men and women worship/pray in different areas of the mosque. That might be why you haven't seen them together

[naomi24]

Going to the mosque to pray is not obligatory for women. It’s usual for them to conduct their prayers in their own homes.

naomi24: "Going to the mosque to pray is not obligatory for women. It’s usual for them to conduct their prayers in their own homes"

Why? Their (women) place is at home doing lots of housework, they are less spiritual, they are less useful/valuable to God, they are more sinful, their presence in Mosques are distractions for men who cannot control their lusts, women attending Mosques meant that men cannot relax more & talk freely to fellow man in Mosques, women cannot understand the complicated & profound Islamic concepts, menstrual women are unclean etc, etc, etc ???

[naomi24]

Women are, allegedly, more able to concentrate on prayer if they pray at home and therefore it is – again allegedly - more beneficial to them.

[fiction-factory]

Maybe the same is true in reverse for Christianity- the vast majority of attendees at our local church are women

[naomi24]

It isn't.
