Manage episode 311489015 series 3130620
Do you know what Rasulullah (S)'s mosque was truly like? If you had walked into the Prophet’s mosque some 1400 years ago, you would find no physical barrier separating the men from the women. Women were considered a valued part of his community with a voice and a choice. Women worshiped, asked questions, and had direct access to their imam without a physical barrier separating them from the rest of their congregation. Children were welcome to his masjid, Rasulullah (S) himself held his tiny granddaughter as he lead the attendees in prayer. Sinners came in, homeless came in, non Muslims came in, and they were welcomed with open arms. It was a safe space for all, not an exclusive club for the religious. If we believe the Prophet (S) is the best example, then how can we make our masajid adhere more closely to the Prophetic model? Through this class, we will learn how the Prophet (S) built people and communities through compassion, teaching, and patience
