Q&As with Joseph Islam - Information Only / Why only men and not women? - For Joseph Islam
« on: October 17, 2016, 08:27:26 PM »
Brother Joseph Islam,
Salamun alikum,
Please see the following verse from the Quran , Chapter 9
"La taqum feehi abadan lamasjidun ossisa AAala alttaqwa min awwali yawmin ahaqqu an taqooma feehi feehi rijalun yuhibboona an yatatahharoo waAllahu yuhibbu almuttahhireena"(9:108)
Meaning : (Prophet)Never stand there. A place of worship which was founded upon Godconsciousness from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.
my question is :
Why the quran says only about men(rijalun) "who are love to purify themselves" and not telling about women?
Or can we assume from this context that women were not present in the masjid then?
Regards
Ashkar(India)
