I had to, a good few times, experience the same behaviour in the sisters section of the Masjid during taraweeh time. The elderly sisters at the front would stand there full 6 feet height and in their slightly frightening voices utter the tirades with the ’shaytan’ coming up on and off. But I did notice it didn’t stop some from still going on with the whispers, so guess the ‘might is right’ policy is being defeated slowly.

If only all the Muslim sisters and brothers follow the example of the Prophet(SAW) who was sent as mercy to mankind there would be instant gratification reaching every soul they come in touch with and help the Ummah restore their impeccable character. Insha Allah.
