After school, all of the pious Muslim guys go down to the "prayer room" we have to pray asr...i also go to pray asr and qa'da zuhr, but none of the other girls go. I feel really awkward if i walk into the room and all of the guys are there talking and getting ready for prayer, and i am the ONLY girl! (also i am not quite used to praying in jamaah yet, it makes me kinda nervous) So i pray in an alcove right outside of the room, where i can still hear the leader....but they chide me, saying i should pray in the room with them....but i am not quite comfortable with praying in a room with 6 guys and no other girl there for moral support, lol! I'm fine if it is just one or 2 guys, but just the crowd of them makes me realllly nervous, plus i feel like an outsider, being the only convert =/
Is this really silly of me? Eventually i would like to join them, but right now it makes me uncomfortable. They seem to think it is very silly =/
any....advice? lol idk...input!!! Thanks =)
