FathimaH, Well we can't compare, there are certain things, now we don't do, They were best in their prayers, and we can't concentrate properly on our prayers, I'll take my own example, I can't pray, if children are crying constantly, and only thing stop me from breaking the prayers in the mid is that I am in center, I was in Grand mosque at Eid prayers! and there was a lot of noise just because of this! IMHO Children below 8 must not be allowed to masjid!
