Somalis in Masjid

Post by Salahuddiin »

Usually I go to my nearest masjid where majority are somalis, there's always noise and laughter except when is time for salaat but only 5 seconds after finishing it starts again. There must be like 20 signs telling everybody should switch off their mobile phones but during salaat at least 10 times phones start ringing. It's almost impossible to pray sunna or read qur'an concentrating when there's a group next to you talking about politics and even imam is with them. Even when there's muxaadara going on you can see people in the back talking bull*hit. Masjid is dirty and everything is in disorder.

Then sometimes I go to bangladeshi or pakistani masjid and difference is like a night and day, they really have respect for baitullah. Everybody are quiet making cibaada and you really get khushuuc there. It's clean and there are strict rules, you even have to take your socks off when you go inside.

This is well-known. There's a city full of somalis and then some arab or pakistani guy opened a masjid. He travelled to another city to look for educated people who could come and run the place. Then he was asked why don't you take some somali from your city, many of them know qur'an by heart. He answered that it's true they are xaafidiin but I don't wanna give them authority because they have bad manners.

Masjid is a place for cibaada and learning, not a cafe or social meeting place. One time Cumar ibn al-Khattab when he was a caliph he saw two men talking about duniya OUTSIDE the masjid. He asked around and people told him they were not locals. So he went to them and said that if you were from Madinah I'd have beaten you up.

I don't think we are from the same city.

One time one older man got up after prayer and said that people should be quiet in masjid so people can concentrate on cibaada and turn off your mobiles because it disturbs others. After he left people started talking oh that man is stressing he has too big buufis.

And I thought the problem was only at the women section of the masjid!
It is hard to beleive the woemn come there for cibaada and not to socialize. It has become normal for the imaam to repeatedly ask the sisters to be quiet! One time a Somali brother was giving tafseer class for Somali women, before the lecture, he repeately asked, to 1. Be quiet and listen, 2. to turn off the cell-phone and 3. If we could not hear his voice to send ONE person to let him know. Walaahi, as soon as he started the lecture, women started talking, couple of phones were of the hook, and someone took the calls right then and there; on top of that, other women were selling stuff in the class-room. Needless to say, that was last time I went to cashar Somali or prayers at the mosque!

The spritual aspect of going to the mosque,and the ethics of praying there is lost on many women who go to my local mosque to socialize.
