| As Salamu Alaykum, Brothers, I have a question for you concerning something that happened to me at Jummah prayer. I arrived during the second recitation of Surat, the second rakat, so I caught the ruku, a couple of Fridays ago. I made it a point to catch up by saying to myself the Fatihah I had missed, and then after taslim to the right, I got up to finish my missed rakat. There were two brothers on the side of me who came later, who rushed through their missed rakat, and disappeared into the melee that is those who get up to leave the place of salaat, even before the imam finishes the dua at the end. Anyway, as I was finishing my tahajud, people began filing all around me, I must say that all were being quite respectful of my sujud boundary. All of a sudden, a guy comes walking right in front of me! So, instinctively I put out my arms to hold him back and I caught his knees such that he could not move forward anymore, and was forced back. I didn't have time to ask him not to cross my sujud path, and reacted upon reflex. I could barely here the disbelief of this person at my reaction to him, " What tha?" Anyway, this happended to me once before where I made it to salaat early at the masjid, and I took a position somewhat back from the first row, but in a way that my sujud would put my head on the first row (I guess a subconscious effort to retain a first row position), and this guy comes walking up directly in front of me in sujud and just takes a seat, almost on top of my head! Since then I have made it a point to make sure that I follow Sunnah and not allow people to invade my sujud path, even if it means blocking them from moving further. What would you guys have done? Has this happended to any of you? Regards, Qamar Akbal Kaan |

| salam, hey im not a brother, but it happens to us sisters too, the thing is we have to remember that not every knows everything about islam, maybe this brother did not know that he wasnt supposed to cut in because no one ever told him ever before, maybe he was a convert that just took shahada and was learning how to pray let alone knowing not to pass in front of you always remember that poeple dont have the same amount of knowlegde as yourself, just tell the brother after your done praying that he wasnt supposed to do that. ive seen sisters walk in front of brothers where the place to pray was in an open space like for example a picnic.... (when this happens the salah is invalid -- same goes to dogs and oooh i forgot the third!) wasalam nouha:) |

| Assalamu Alaikum, As far as I know, what you did was correct in that you are supposed to stop anyone walking in front of you while you are praying. But that is the reason that I never pray in anyplace that would put me in a position to have to stop people from passing in front of me or would cause distress and waiting for people to pass around me. .. i.e always pray behind a sutra. I don't like the idea of what many people here in pakistan do in that as soon as a Fardh salah is finished they get straight up and start praying the sunnah. Hope that answers your question. Just as a side thought I'd like to know what you meant when you said that you made your salam to the right and then got up to finish the rak'ah you missed? I always thought that if you miss a rak'ah you get straight up after the Imam says his tasleem and continue. Wassalamu Alaikum, Uzer |

| Re: HEY! What's Up With That? I got one for you! At an Eid dinner- about three years ago. A boy/man- about 17 came over to our side looking for his mom. Many of the women began running and shrieking- covering and niqabbing. Me- the American sister- went up to him and told him to leave the area. He pushed past me and continued to look for his mom. This time I said it forcibly and told him I would go find his mom. He said something- I did not understand- but i don't think it was an ayat.... As a result- it was I that looked bad. The women could not believe that I approached him- here i was "protecting" them, by asking him to leave. The mother is still angry that I yelled at her son- and tells people about how disrespectful I was to her beloved son,- who knew where she was while her son was roaming all over the woman's area. My husband, too- for me not minding my own business! |
