[image description: photo with text; photo shows two people in a masjid; one, a child, is sitting on the floor; to their left is a person standing during salah and wearing a khimar; text reads “OCCUPY THE MASJID/Defend women’s rights in the mosque”]

Women have an Islamic right to enter a mosque,Women have an Islamic right to enter through the main door,Women have an Islamic right to visual and auditory access to the musalla (main sanctuary), Women have an Islamic right to pray in the musalla without being separated by a barrier, Women have an Islamic right to address any and all members of the congregation, Women have an Islamic right to hold leadership positions and as members of the board of directors and management committees, Women have an Islamic right to be full participants in all congregational activities, Women have an Islamic right to lead and participate in meetings, study sessions, and other community activities without being separated by a barrier,Women have an Islamic right to be greeted and addressed cordially, Women have an Islamic right to respectful treatment and exemption from gossip and slander. 
Women have an Islamic right to be full and complete participants in any and all processes of religious learning, interpretation, and authority. 
Speak up. Demand your rights. Stop accepting the status quo. No one is going to change our situation but ourselves. Bring the masjid back to the way it was during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (saws). There is no back entrance to the Kaaba, there isn’t a separate room to God. We all have the right to prayer and no one should be prohibiting this, especially ourselves.


all my love and solidarity to my muslim brothers and sisters

I know Masjid Muhammad in Washington, DC fails at this. Women worship in the basement and go through a back entrance. Men worship in a large, beautifully-adorned room on the main floor.
