Earlier we went for taraweeh, as days go by people attending taraweeh is getting less so only 2 of us in woman’s side are bringing quite young children. I have a 21 months old who is not fond of running around us and in front of us. Tonight, she saw a chair in the front and decided to seat in front. After the prayer one of the women said something in their dialect and people kept looking and around and seems like looking at me so I asked the woman beside me if she knows what they were talking about. She said that they are saying to take my daughter and keep her on my side. For those who have toddler knows how they behave and that they tend to explore and cannot sit still in one place. Now, I assure that from the previous days that we came for taraweeh my daughter didn’t cause any inconvenience to other people who were praying except for running in front of them while we are standing in prayer. I make sure that every after prayer I call her by my side (which I cannot do while praying). When I called my daughter beside me another woman spoke and said something in the dialect that I understand which she said that my daughter is messing their prayer mats or running in front of them something like that. Another woman looked at me with judging eyes and later on she purposely stepped between me and my daughter to go to the other side of room (there is a big space behind and in front of us). I just can’t understand when you do your best to practice and they still have something to call you out for. I would understand if they call me out in a friendly way but they did it in a way that I’m embarrassed to ever come back to the mosque. You know the feeling that everyone is against you. I assumed they are either related to each other or friends. Am I in the wrong for bringing my daughter in the mosque? Should I stop going in the mosque? I’m just excited for this Ramadan since I’ve been unable to attend taraweeh these past 2 years since I was pregnant and my daughter was too young last year and would cause inconvenience with crying. I just felt so excited to finally pray in the mosque since ever since I gave birth I barely (3-5 times) visit the mosque. I also want to introduce these things to my daughter slowly.
