Greetings dear sisters,
being new in this so lovely islamicity community, i am like yourself am doing adjustments for improvements in our lives and self disciplines and all matters of worship to our ALmighty GOD ALLAH--insha ALLAH....
What i like to know in this post Please oh dear sisters, is how does a sister pray to God in worship??
..i havnt been to a mosque or closest area worship session yet as i dont have a hajib and right clothing just yet to respectfully worship so very well.......soon as i able yes
 
Do the sisters pray the same as brothers in the mosque or another way of prayer?

Welcome dear Sister! May Allah (God) reward you greatly for your efforts!

Thats ok Sister. For Muslim Women, it is not compulsory to go to Mosques and pray. They can pray at home too - and they get the same reward. Kinda cool, no? Big%20smile If you don't have access to a mosque or other muslims, you can always use the internet. Islamicity.com is  a good website to do your homework.

A 'Hijab' doesn't need to be bought at the store. Any piece/sheet of clean cloth will do. You can use any scarf, or sheet to wrap yourself with... As long as it is long enough, not see-through, and comfortable. You can buy cloth at the store, cut it and use it :-)

You shall need to wear it on your head in such a way that it covers your hair & neck. All body parts should be covered [hands, feet, face can be left uncovered].
 

Found this site that explains how to pray:

http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/salat/salat9.htm

I don't think it explains the difference b/w men & women's prayer though. But you can still pray anyway...

There is no difference b/w the acts/positions of prayer for men and women... The prayer is the same for all. Only minor differences in style. I am not too sure of the details of that. The only thing I can think of is that women fold their hands on the chest, and men on the navel. For that I hope some other member chips in to help...

All the best sis!
