This is not unlike a mosque. Women get their own section to pray. You can pray, meditate, read, have discussions, even sleep if you are respectful and discreet.

Muslims also love their prayer rugs, sajadah, it is a very personal and comforting object. Many Muslims will spend extra time on it after prayer and even even take naps on it.

The mosque, the masjid, is a peaceful place of community. It is meant to be a slice of Jannah al Dunya, Heaven on Earth. Imagine what our country would be like if we all got up to pray together, shoulder-to-shoulder, with our neighbors every single morning.
