Having spent a considerable amount of time at the masjid this month, masha’allah, reciting with my sisters and praying with my community I have realised a few things about people and how they pray. Now Im not saying that I pray according to how the prophet Muhammed used to pray, far from it probably but there are a few things that I make sure I do. It isnt just about praying too… its about general etiquette… so I got thinking yesterday, yes my mind does tend to wander!! about a blog post.. ‘if I could post ahadith around this masjid, what would they be?’ .. just 3… and im going to make it into a tag post 
so here goes
Im tagging you.. so your masjid.. is it clean? tidy? well presented? do you have pictures to share? The main question, if you were given the ability and the push to post 3 ahadith around your praying area what would they be? feel free to give any reasoning behind your choices.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should say: ‘Ha’, Satan will laugh at him.”
Everyone is tired at taraweeh, whether you have stayed the whole night or just a portion and it bothers me to hear ladies yawning their heads off during the prayer. Its distracting and disrespectful to Allah
· Bukhari Volume 1, Book 10, Number 509:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “Do the prostration properly and do not put your fore-arms flat with elbows touching the ground like a dog. And if you want to spit, do not spit in front, nor to the right for the person in prayer is speaking in private to his Lord.”
I am constantly next to ladies who are of the ‘close your body in as much as possible because you are a lady’ mentality, but also those who arent and I see this all too often how do you tell someone whos been praying all their lives that they shouldnt do this? Its never liked coming from a new muslim La howla wala qwata illa bilah
· Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 23:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
One of the wives of Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the ‘Isha’ prayer in congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that Umar disliked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, “What prevents him from stopping me from this act?” The other replied, “The statement of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) : ‘Do not stop Allah’s women-slave from going to Allah s Mosques’ prevents him.”
For my final ahadith I wanted to find something about people not talking during the khutbah which is hard to focus on as it is! However I couldnt find it, I came across this one though that Ive been struggling with with my h2b insha’allah I will show him this. I would like to post this around the mens section in my mosque and the other mosque where I live that doesnt allow regular access to ladies.
I am tagging Umm Ibs, Umm Hibaat, Rainbow, my spanish princess, the inquizative Aalya, my oh so beautiful pixie and my opinionist Aisha
Looking forward to reading your ahadith girls 
We were late for the masjid at one point and I had a question about something. Im sure we are all aways coming across the hadith about the prophet (saws) saying that noone must sit down in the masjid before praying the 2 rakahs. So what happens if you get to the masjid late and the congregational prayer is already started?? Do you….
