Kids and Masjid

[AnGaaR]

Salamoona pakhtano paighlo aw zwanano


Last year i went to kabul and saw something after many yrs.. guess what?
It was prayer time and ppl stood up. A kid was standing in 2nd line and a man aged 35-40 dragged him and said... Boro da akhir istad sho (go stand in the end ) and he himself moved to 2nd line.

IN pakistan and Afghanistan i have seen many many cases like this where our elders never let kids to pray in front lines.
Back in Gulf,malaysia,indonesia and many other muslim countries such things never exist..

Do you think its a good thing not to let the kid stand in first or 2nd line or even behind Imam?
I am sure many kids wil start hating the masjid and prayers because its the time when they are about to learn about religion,meanwhile our elders start torturing them or shouting at them not to stand in front lines.

It has been mentioned that in masjid the poor and rich , kid and old is same so then why our ppl never respect the saying of our Prophet or quran?

Its a very serious issue and i have always condemned this act of our elders...

i dont know much about islam, but i think the reason they send kids in the back is because they are still young and dont know the etiquettes of prayer. They start doing random stuff, and what that does is distracts others who are praying..People should do it with some manner though, shoving is bad

anyways above is my logic, and considering my limited knowledge im probably wrong

Interesting. I have never paid attention to this...

AfghanSoulja, you make good points. What you say makes sense....

but at the same time I feel like it might make a young boy, for example. feel better standing next to his father. If all the kids are sent to the back rows, they might distract each other more, and not focus..OR they might not feel important...Sometimes when you treat someone in a mature way, or like they are older, they kind of step up so they can fill that expectation...if that makes sense...

It's kind of like they can use the Imaam / father/ uncle or whomever as their role model, they'll grow up remembering those moments of prayer....

maybe the age of the boy would matter too ??
