Balloting for Namaz! A shameful act

[mhp]

"Ramzan is nearing, those who have paid their dues (Wajibat) are allow to perform Namaz in the internal part of the Masjids and those who have not are allow to sit in the Sahan", this was announce in all the Masjids in Karachi.
Balloting will take place if the Masjid have less capacity and only those names will be included in the balloting who have paid their Wajibats.

Kothari dogs dont make Namaz and Masjid a trade centre otherwise " Khuda ka Qahar Nazil hoga"

mhp:

Khuda will not come down and help Karacahite bohras to throw morally corrupt Syedna and his goons. Wake up and raised your voices. If not suffice, treat them in the same fashion like they are treating us.

Most of Muslims consider Masjid as house of Allah SWT. Everybody is welcome and pray. I have been to many mosques and nobody has asked proof of my beliefs.

It is shame that Bohras and Aga khanis have to prove that they belong to those sects and they have paid necessary taxes above and beyond Zakat.

Bohras have another problem. They bring ja-namaz with them so they cannot sqeez together to accodamate overflow crowd.

What troubles you more, sir, that Bohras bring ja-namaz or they squeeze more people. Please dont criticize and make fun of bohra traditions(which can be found in other sects too, afterall i have seen better ja-namaz in some of my muslim friends' house) just for the heck of it. I dont expect such remarks from you atleast...

I agree to rest of your point that masjic being house of allah every one should be welcome to pray.

I think you mis-took Bohras bring Ja Namaaz, I think he meant since Bohras do not stand SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, they cannot accomadate more people. I have seen that Bohras do not allow others to stand on their Ja Namaaz and wasting too much space between two Namaazis.

some of the wahabis who criticise bohras as a fashion statement should introspect and answer as to why they deny women the permission to pray is their mosques-isnt that too a denial to pray in the house of Allah?

In response to your comments, here are the facts.

Women are permitted to pray in Masjid and are prying in No.1 & 2 Masjids in Islam. In Mecca they pray side by side to men. In Medina they have separate quarters. I do not know what happens in other Saudi Mosques.

Here in USA there are different arrangements in different Masjids as per desire of local Jamaat. I frequent 3 Masjids here. Wayland, MA is liberal where women pray right behind men separated by rope. In dining area Men & Women eat together and nobody minds if their head is not coverd. New Roxbury Masjid has equal but separate arrangement on 2nd floor. (It is similar to new Bohra Marqaz in Billerica, MA.)

If my memory is correct old Jama Masjids in India had separate place for women. I think it is cultural issue. Hadith from Prophet SAW indicate that it is permissible to go to Masjid but he said it better for them to pray at home.

I personally believe that Men & Women with small children should keep their unruly or crying children should stay home.

BTW Wahabi lebel is used frequently to describe majority of Muslims and I would like to find out what a Wahabi really is?

Bohras confuse Wahabi and Sunni.

In brief Wahabi is purist view of Islam. Its positive is it is based on the literal translation of Quran, they do not practise anything that is not stated in the QUran including rituals, loyalty and submission to the Prohepts decendents or successors or traditional cultures and human records of jurispudence. Negative about wahabis it is contradictory in the way they submit to the will of their current political rulers and tolerance of anything but Wahabism.

Sunni definition is easy you have many around you but be mindful they have many schools of thoughts as Shias have.
