Mosque is god's house


Women in menstruation are not allowed to enter the mosque-praying area!!!!!!!
(Read from an article from local newspaper)

I am shocked!!!!!Super shock like electric shock or like being stroke by lightning....

I have entered the praying area like a million times before while in menstruation.
My ustazah would just often reminded us to take good care so that our period does not stain the carpet of the mosque as they must keep it clean to be able to perform the solah/shalat/prayer there and has never forbid us girls during our period from entering the mosque.

So girls just be responsible and make sure that
(1.) Duuuh wear a new sanitary pad
(2.) Sit properly
(3.) Always make sure that no leakage while in the mosque....
If you are having a heavy period then better for you not to visit the mosque, obviously because we should care for the mosque cleanness......

Second shocker>>>>Non-Muslim also cannot enter the mosque-praying area as being categorize as in the same category of women in menstruation

I read many revert/convert stories that their visit to the mosque to watch the performing of prayers often plays a significant role in knowing the religion better. As seeing is believing, this will later open their mind and heart to Islam even more. So we should welcome them and not shoo them away. That is rude. I see no harm for them to visit the mosque except for Masjidil Haram but of course we the Muslim should educate them on the proper etiquette of visiting mosque to our non-Muslim brothers and sisters. It is our responsibility and them being ignorant of the proper manner is definitely our fault.

Whether you are a Muslim or not, we all should maintain the purity of the mosque and do nothing that will jeopardize it. Mosque is after all god's house. We are just Allah's guest and thus act like a guest and not like the host.

When I have enough cash, I will definitely build my own mosque that has superb facilities like hostels, public kitchen, sports facilities, libraries, classes and halls for all to use Muslim or non-Muslim.
