-Ladies come in with bunch of kids who cry and spill things during namaz. Everyone gets disturbed. There is a playroom downstairs, no one wants to use it.
-Some ladies come in for socializing so while taraweeh prayers are going on, they chat chat chat, talk on cell phone.
-No picking up of their trash behind them.
They have been “warned” many times, they become quiet for a but then back to normal again.
What are some ways we can control what happens in the ladies sections of the masjids?
Write the rules on board with bold font including the rule no cellphones in masjid and no talking during prayers and taraweeh prayers.And if someone is doing that again just personally tell them board has issued some rules please try to follow them.They are adults they can understand that.
First of all for all these things there should be some organization working and there should be some rules define so people can follow.Saying it individually and randomly will not affect.
we had the same problem at the big masjid last year during ramadan, I remember once after 4 taraweehs, imam stopped in the middle of the "talk" and said "once sisters are done talking, I will continue" It was the most embarrassing moment for all of us..I never heard a shush after that!
For kids, pick the oldest one in the group, make him or her responsible for taking the kids downstairs in the playroom and leave some color books, crayons etc for them.. If that doesn't work, ask the imam to give a reminder lecture about masjid etiquettes!
I guess I'll mention my biggest issue on the men's side: Taking too long for wudu. It's not a shower. I always want to say "brother you might be well served to go home and take a proper shower, besides you are holding everyone up."
yahaN to mastoorata ke malboosaat dekh kar to aisa lagtaa hai goyaa kisi taqreeb meN jaane ke liye Khiraam e naaz hoN. malboosaat to apnii jagah us par perfume is qadar strong k jidhar se guzar jaayeN udhar "koocha e itr" yaa "itr_daan" lagtaa hai. mard Hazraat se kahaa jaataa hai k Khawaateen ke daaKhil hobne ke dar ko chhoR kar khaRe hoN taa k sisters ko mushkil dar-pesh na ho magar taraaweeH ke ba'd to aisa manzar hotaa hai jaise koi melaa lagaa ho. tauba hai tauba hai merii to :(
Maybe you can have specific volunteers to keep reminding the ladies of the rules, and if they still continue, ask them to go leave the hall, or sit in the playroom even, where they can babysit the noisy kids. kill two birds with one stone as it were.
