AN ANTI-SUNNAH REFLECTION

Reflection:

"How will your mother, your wife and your sister will get Islamic education if you do not open the door of the Masjid for them?"

Answer:

The masjid will only open its doors to ladies:

  1. When will prevail in the Ummah:

  1. The firmness of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radiyallahu Anhu),

  2. The strength of Hazrat 'Umar (Radiyallahu Anhu),

  3. The Haya and modesty of Hazrat 'Us'maan (Radiyallahu Anhu), and

  4. The piety of Hazrat A'li (Radiyallahu Anhu).

  1. When the pseudo-Mujtahid will refrain once and for all, from interpreting the Deen of Allah Ta’ala according to their personal desire while basing it on a few translation books that are in their possession.

  2. When everyone will refrain from:

  1. Declaring to be scholars, and

  2. Playing with Deen.

  1. When those who have closed this door (the door of the Masjid to women), will come to reopen it themselves (by creating the necessary conditions that have been mentioned above).

The above reflection is anti-Sunnah as our Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha (Sallallaahu A'laihi Wasallam) has never encouraged women to come to the Masjid. On the contrary, he stated that the Salaah of a woman that is performed in the most secluded corner of the home is better than performing it elsewhere. Since this reflection is encouraging women to come to the Masjid, it is totally opposing the way of Nabi-e-Kareem (Sallallaahu A'laihi Wasallam). That is why it is anti-Sunnah! Therefore, think well before speaking!
