Can I just thank Noor for that Dua once again. Last lesson we started it, and the issue came up, I think I handled it pretty well, about mentioning how Islam, the religion, actually challenges oppression and men and women pray seprately so that men aren't tempted to lose concentration. I got the class talking about seperate toilets!
It's just the beginning but it went quite well Inshallah.

bad times.. duas plz

well if men stand at the front and women behind, how can you be temtpted to lose concentration?
Both men and women used to pray TOGETHER during the time of the Prophet (saw). The men in that era kept their concentration, what makes you lot sooo special? Not having a go just trying to understand.

They prayed in the same room, but guys couldn't see the girls, while they prayed, that's what stopped them from losing concentration. Let's be honest, if a guy sees a girl bending over and bowing, I can tell you, as a guy, that most WILL lose concentration.

Bro, why must you continuously insult men?? Why would you do that?
Some of us do have restraint and correct intentions.

Hey, I'm not insulting men! Don't get me wrong! I'm just saying it's a natural men's reaction, even if it's for a few seconds.
So, why do YOU pray seperately or not with women?

Its never been an option.

Believe me, im an expert at ignoring random women.

Well, good on you. But, most men, if not all, will loose a bit of focus, for a few seconds while they're praying.
Let me rephrase my question. Why does ISLAM say that we should pray seperately/not together.

:? it does?

praying in congreagation is reccomended. Husband and wife can pray side by side but the husbands feet have to be slightly forwarded than the wifes.

My orginial ques was if women are praying behind men how can they (men) lose concentration (unless they have eyes at the back of their head)?

Yeah, behind/not together/with a partition or whatever you want to call it. What you've said was precisely my point, men pray where THEY can't see the women.

Inshallah all your problems stress etc will go away!

duas needed please remember me in your duas!

My post isnt directed to anyone personally...(I havent even read this thread). I'm just thinking out loud..

Too often, I get asked by others to pray for them - even I ask my mum often...its a common thing to ask Imams/elders etc to pray for you...

Plus, the prayers made for others are more likely to be accepted by God.

Sometimes people feel that if others are praying for them, then they don't need to put in any effort themselves...however, no one else other than yourself can make a sincere, heartfelt dua straight from the heart. If you're hurting and distressed, only YOU can feel the pain..anyones elses prayer made on your behalf will be more generic...when you really really want something, its always best to ask God yourself, cos God never refuses the prayer that comes straight from the heart.

I agree... But thanks to anyone who DID make du'aa for me because my visa application was accepted Alhamdulillah.

I had to meet a general to sign my papers.

And the whole Dept. Immigration is the most disorganised place I've been to in my whole life.

If I could change one thing about Syria (and Arabs in general. And most of the world other than Britain), I would teach them how to form and orderly queue. Tobe honest, any form of queue would do, it doesn't have to be particularly orderly. It's ALMOST enough to make me miss waiting in a Post Office or bank at home. Shouting and thrusting your passport in any official's face is SO not civilised.

I've just found out my (future) brother and sister in law have to leave Syria, because he is studying at a religious school, and the government are 'cracking down' on foreign student at these institutions.

This is a REAL shame, because they are amongst the best in the world.

Please make du'aa that more foreign students aren't forced to leave, and that Syria opens up to more Islamic education.

And please make du'aa that he can finish his studies elsewhere, because he is 5 years into a 7 year course, and doesn't want it all to go to waste.

Jazak'Allah,

Inshallah
