Question for Muslims.....What did I do wrong....please read?

Question

I am spiritual and not Religious.
My Mother is Muslim
My Father is Christian

The other day I attended a mosque for first time, out of curiosity.
And I struck up a conversation with a nice lady and thought I will sit with her.
I ask when does prayer start and she Replied that it already had.
I was like I can not hear any thing So i left the tiny room with a rickety door and walked past all males and Quietly sat in the front row.(it had the most available space)
And after 1min all was silent and a weirdo looking male spoke to me in I think was Arabic.He wouldn't shut up and stop his chanting at me.and I just smiled and hoped that the creepy man would just shut up and resume praying.They(the males) seemed easily distressed by my presence.(Weak)

Has this ever happened to you or seen this happen to someone?WHAT GIVES

Answer 1

Islam is a false belief that leads to eternal hell.

The only way to be saved and go to heaven and not eternal hell is to believe that Jesus, who is God, died for your sins on the cross and rose again.

Answer 2

You went to the male section and you were not supposed to do that. The men are always at the front and the women are at the back. I think it has something to do with men not watching the bottom of women as they bow down in prayer (that would both distract the men and be disrespectful to the women). You going to the front row probably felt both awkward and disrespectful to the others and to the rules of Islam. They may not have been aware of your ignorance.

Answer 3

Its maybe the first time you prayed jamaah(pray with others)The front section are for male muslims and the back section are for female muslim.You are required to stay at the back..this is the rules...

Answer 5

The men and woman are not suppose to pray together. we need to mention here that the role of women in Islam has been misunderstood in the West because of general ignorance of the Islamic system and way of life as a whole, and because of the distortions of the media.

The Muslim woman is accorded full spiritual and intellectual equality with the Muslim man. She is encouraged to practice her religion and develop her intellectual faculties throughout her life. In their relations with each other, both are to observe modesty of behavior and dress, and follow a strict code of morality that discourages unnecessary mixing of the sexes.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) granted permission to Muslim women to attend mosques and pray standing behind the rows of men. He even advised the Companions by saying: “Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from going to the mosque” (Muslim). Also, he specifically told husbands: “When your womenfolk ask you for permission to attend the mosque, do not prevent them” (Muslim).

Of course this permission to attend mosques was on the condition that women strictly observed the various restrictions imposed upon them by the Shari`ah regarding dress and behavior. So, both men and women are allowed to pray in the mosque in the same jama`ah (group prayer).

But how? The Prophet explained how: When men and women are together in the mosque, we should have first lines of men behind the imam, then children, and then women. This is the way Muslims used to pray behind the Prophet (peace be upon him), and, as I mentioned, we cannot invent new rules in our religion by our own desires, but we stick to what came in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Remember that the ritual Prayer involves bowing and prostrating. The wisdom of separating men and women during Prayers is to protect the hearts of the Muslims, both men and women, from any distracting ideas or evil suggestions that the devil may whisper into their hearts. This is especially between men and women, in order to keep their hearts pure and sincere and busy only with Prayer. For the same reason, the mixing between men and women in general has special rules in Islam.
