Re: the mosque and me

I dont think we should really talk like this about people.
haan woh alag baat hai if you just point out things you dont like so that people who do may refrain from doing it.

PENDULUM AUNTIES oh thts classic ..
u shud c them aunties reading quran while sitting its not pendulum its back n forth n hell luks lyk bhoot char gya

Janu, it is not what you think. IMHO: When we read something like the Quran we recite it aloud or internally. The tilawaat is not just reading what’s written but to sound it out in a singing manner as it pleases Allah (sbwt). With that, the body also sways, it’s rhythmic. It is unconscious most of the time. But the movement helps in getting the person to focus more and longer on recitation.

I believe it would be hard to stay still while reciting. Remember, we don’t read but recite and there’s a difference as I tried to explain above.

@K337

some days at taraweeh i have a bad luck

the other day ,there was this aunti which smelt JUST LIKE TEIL(oil):no: and i dont know how i managed to survive

and then some days i get to stand with pagal bachay:vivo: who start their namaz and then once imam is reading from quran tehy begin to itch/play with their dress and the worst ,they begin to stare people at the back!

and then there are people who read SO loud during namaz that i begin to forget what i have to read:emmy: and they sound like saying “gulgogoglgogoogog”

and lastly how can i forget the pendulum aunties:emmy:they move sideways and keep touching me time to time.I so want to push them to the otherside dhakka de ke:emmy: noone touches me!

Pengssssssssssssss

Ok, so we have the teyloo aunties, the staring kids, the gulggog aunties and the pendulum aunties. I swear I know how you feel.

So the other night at taraweeh, I happened to help an auntyjee pull up a chair so she could sit and pray, she gave me duaein and then, after very 2 rakat, she would quickly grab me and start talking to me. By the end of the 20, I knew her entire life history

The gulagogs are usually standing behind me. We have a whole row of them I feel harassed.

You are totally right about that, but we don't usually have to recite that much in jamaat of taraweeh. So why do they still pendulate?

Don't. You had a point of view which is understandable, absolutely. I explained what I believe is the reason behind the swaying. I do, too, and understand why.

Taraweh or any other salat by jaamat, swaying is not allowed. Any body movement is not allowed unless absolutely necessary. I am guilty before anyone else but I know and try to pay heed. The best type of salat offered is in the manner of Hazrat Ali (ra) who was known to stand so still that birds used to land on him (so I have heard, you or others are welcome to correct me, please).

Reading the Quran is a different thing and swaying is part and parcel of the tilawat by many. Whatever helps bring focus and duration.

The Imams should talk about this during one of their sermons to their sheep.

Re: the mosque and me

Thanks for clarifying, that is what I thought as well. We are supposed to follow the Imam in jamaat so no need to recite any verses ourselves, and therefore no need to sway.

I will ask my husband to convey this to the Imam. I think it only happens with our ladies because of a habit. We just gotta move

@lady_lama

the ones that make u go feet to feet bug me.. i really dnt want ur feet next to me

This type of behavior is part of how men stand in jamaat in Arabic cultures. This is not how we were taught in Pakistan and India (Hanafi tareeqa). We stand with feet apart within shoulder length. We do stand shoulder to shoulder to allow for no gaps for “shaitaan to come through”.

I stand with my feet apart within my shoulder length but the guys next to me spread their feet apart further for their small toe to touch my small toe.

This unavoidable unless you go to a “Pakistani” mosque but if the behavior is adopted there from the Arabs then … it is what it is.

Niksik - If you think it would help… then all the best! I hope the Imam is “progressive” and, well, let me know what happens. Surprise me!
