May Allah (swt) grant success. It's most interesting to note the proportion of men versus women at salaah. We understand the struggle as we in Barbados are also striving and praying and hoping for female prayer spaces in our masajid on our small island. May Allah guide us all and keep our intentions and actions pleasing to him. Ameen

Also, women arrive with their young children for which space becomes even more of a necessity. This is an amazing initiative. Our rasool (saw) would uphold women’s rights and our ummah have a responsibility to follow the same example.

To Salma, hats off to you for bringing into the forefront an issue felt by all, but discussed by none. However, to be fair in thought, the gym area for women is bigger than the men's.

So glad we are finally looking into this. Always feel so frustrated when I look at the spaces difference between men and women side.

Please give women the space to pray so they don't have to worry because men never seem to worry about having to find a good spot to go

The men actually have double the space if you consider the 2 huge areas adjacent to the mosque as well! Women have 3 lines in the coat-room area and 6-7 in the mosque.
