Defying the age-old religious practice, a woman Imam for the first time in the history of India led Friday prayer in the southern state of Kerala, The Hindu reported.

34-year-old Jamida K, also known as ‘Jamida Teacher’ in her secluded village of Cherukode, Malappuram district, went against centuries of Sharia law but said she “did it knowing well the consequences it is going to have”.

The prayers were led for a mixed group of approximately 50 men and women at the central committee office of the Quran Sunnath Society which Jamida supports.




However, fundamentalists have threatened to eliminate Jamida. According to them, she “defiled the religion”.

The Quran Sunnath Society was a movement established by Chekannur Moulavi, a radical Muslim scholar, who was believed to be murdered after he mysteriously disappeared in 1993.

“We follow the [Holy] Quran. It addresses humankind as men and women, and does not discriminate between them. Both men and women have an equal role in religion,” asserted the woman prayer leader.

Muslim woman to lead Friday prayers in India

Speaking about leading Friday prayer, she said it was a male-dominated religious practice which needs to be challenged and she will continue to lead prayer alongside other women.

Moreover, she has been receiving a barrage of criticism on social media.

That's not based in scripture though, where as this rule is.

This rule is not based on the text of Holy Quran or even Sahih Hadith .... It's just the males' interpretation of the script

What about alcohol? Like Fermentation

And and what about drugs? Hash and stuff.

Fascinating the religious debate

Alcohol is forbidden

you have your opinion about your own business,not about other's religion,when third person singular number exercise his "opinion right" about people who don't want it,it is called interference.
I have opinion about anything in this world including religion... I'm not interfering your faith... Jamidha teacher also have her own faith... Her opinion is "

"The Quran does not differentiate between male and female. It only says devotees. It is the men and their interpretation that has differentiated against women and considered them as secondary citizens. I wanted to challenge this very basic idea and patriarchy. Quran doesn’t say a woman cannot lead the prayer," she says.

Why you interfering her faith???

It is mine, as a Muslim. In Islam, religion trumps all, including ethnic groups.

I guarantee most of Kerala's Muslims would be backing me over you.

Hijab is not name of cloth,it is ruling of wearing cloths.Burkha,abaya are cultural things,If it maintains rules of hijab then it's ok,otherwise no.

Don't make me laugh with typical childish logic,maintaining same logic as she is of our religion and an indian,we can interfere in internal matter of your country too.You people are so naive little boy,giving me 1 penny and asking 1000 dollar in return.Real world doesn't work like that.
As she is from our religion and talking about "religion" only we can give our opinion here,outsiders not allowed.
When she talks as an indian for india,we will keep our mouth shout and you are free to give your opinion.you forgot the limit i guess?
As for "interfering",what is the name of this forum?
