I know that the reward for going to the mosque is great, but is this reward restricted to men? I feel jealous of them for that. What should I do ? Is there a way for me to be favored with such reward?

Answer:
Abdullah Ibin Masood reported that the Prophet(PBUH) said: “Her prayer inside her home is better than its courtyard, and her prayer in her own bedroom is better than inside her home”{Abu Dawood}.Her staying at home, and not going to the mosque in obedience to Allah`s injunctions entails a great reward similar to that bestowed on a man for going to the mosque since the bounty of Allah is for all.
