come together with muslim made once again to get clean water families in gaza 105 pounds can provide
00:00:06.060
interrupted water to two families for an entire year
00:00:09.120
well the qurani app is about to show you your progress with your soul yes that's correct not
00:00:17.300
only does it encourage you to read it tells you how many verses you've read how many pages you
00:00:21.000
read how long you've been on it and best of all the hasana counter download the qurani app now
00:00:25.640
and have a ramadan with allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's book like you've never had before
00:00:29.080
yeah a couple times it talks about inheritance yes and i think there's a couple times whereby
00:00:35.460
in certain situations a woman would get less inheritance yes do you think i think it would
00:00:41.820
make sense in a community or a society where there's a lot of muslims and they're part of the
00:00:48.060
same sort of community they're together yeah and then maybe it wouldn't make sense for a woman to
00:00:52.120
inherit as much because then when she gets married she's then gonna you know the man's going to be
00:00:56.700
the provider in that situation but in a modern society like let's say london let's say there's
00:01:01.300
a muslim family that's maybe moved here yeah maybe they're part of a community where there's not as
00:01:05.080
many muslims and then the mum dies and you know she's not somewhere where there's a strong muslim
00:01:10.440
community is you know would that still be expected of them but that they wouldn't get the right
00:01:16.920
inheritance or whatever well they have to because the thing is if you look at the matter
00:01:19.280
people think the woman is in a disadvantaged position yeah yeah that's not the case if you
00:01:25.920
look at it improperly actually it's we're happy with what allah's legislated but from the outset
00:01:30.980
if you look at it look a woman she has a carer yeah yeah provider allah says that men are maintainers
00:01:38.000
and providers of women right so for example if there's a wall i will go if i'm walking down the
00:01:43.840
road with her and next man puts a knife out i'm not gonna say hey darling you go and sort this out
00:01:47.120
and call me when it's done of course i'm gonna have to put my my neck on the line yeah yeah yeah i am
00:01:51.940
the provider i have to work so for example i'll give you a situation i pay the rent yeah i pay the
00:01:57.720
shopping okay i have to give my wife a certain funds for her to you know i can say okay look i
00:02:02.500
can afford i don't know i'm gonna say 100 pound a week i'm gonna say yeah yeah i have to provide
00:02:06.800
that yeah so now if you look at it is this really um pro like i wouldn't say pro man but who's in
00:02:14.340
an advantage position on top of that when i marry her she has a right to maher dowry so that dowry
00:02:22.140
can change from what's that dowry so that's her right so for example uh when i want to marry my
00:02:28.560
wife she has a right for a gift and when i mean gift she can ask for 10 grand she can ask for 20
00:02:34.160
grand she can ask for gold she can ask for five star holiday she can ask for a car she can ask for a
00:02:39.920
house but i can't afford it she might get married yeah but the point is this that's her right so she
00:02:46.380
has that right to ask now the money let's suppose um let's suppose somebody's wife the wife-to-be
00:02:52.980
says i want 5 000 pounds and i want to go on a trip to honolulu yeah if that's agreed he has to
00:02:59.920
provide that right yeah on top of that he has to do the wedding the nikya ceremony and he has to do
00:03:05.680
a wulima which is a wedding of announcing the marriage yeah yeah so there's nothing hidden going
00:03:09.120
on yeah yeah and bear in mind i talked about working if somebody comes with a knife yeah okay man's a
00:03:15.860
full-time bodyguard imagine that yeah yeah and then the money that i give her i can't touch her
00:03:20.680
penny that's hers okay so if i'm broke crying at home yeah she can be especially money not on me
00:03:27.840
yeah on shopping no no i know but the point is this islam gives her the right that that's her money
00:03:34.320
i can't touch it and the question here is how come a woman gets less now in this instance let's put it
00:03:39.620
in the perspective i paid for the wedding yeah i do the the the wedding ceremony yeah i have to provide
00:03:45.180
for her after shelter her yeah when there's a danger i'm there yeah the money i give her maher
00:03:51.000
she keeps it yeah on top of that when inheritance happens let's say her father dies she gets uh for
00:03:57.900
example half of that of a man yeah yeah right okay this is a bit that confuses me okay now check this
00:04:04.000
out she didn't pay for nothing she's been uh catered for yeah i gave her that five grand remember she keeps that
00:04:11.840
from her dad her dad uh had a hundred grand yeah um the daughter will get um i think it's 33 grand
00:04:19.660
or something around those lines yeah and he will get 76 something along those lines yeah for what i remember
00:04:24.500
yeah i think it's one uh i can't remember i totally forgot yeah she will keep that the son the money that he gets
00:04:33.660
he gets he has to what do what if his daughter gets married for example there's certain things that he
00:04:39.080
has to do and the groom okay she keeps the money the the son has to provide for the mom if the dad's not
00:04:45.560
in the picture his daughters yeah his wife so if the wife's dad dies then her husband gets more money
00:04:53.480
no no no if the the girl imagine my wife's father you've got given long life imagine he passed away
00:04:59.340
yeah and imagine my wife had a uh brother yeah the brother will get more than the thing but bear in
00:05:05.000
mind the money that she gets she keeps yeah and he has to that he is looking after his mom and his wife
00:05:09.960
his daughters so the money that he gets is just fair because he's going to be spending it on his wife
00:05:16.200
which is another woman in his daughter is another woman and his mother which is another woman so is it
00:05:19.720
expected for a woman to marry somebody of islamic faith yes she has to she's not allowed to marry
00:05:25.160
nonsense okay i see yeah yeah yeah so so so if you look at it she's in a better position because she
00:05:31.640
doesn't spend and anything she gets she keeps when the man is a provider yeah so her brother might get
00:05:37.160
a lot but he's spending a lot yeah so in that sense and not only that if you look at islamic finance
00:05:42.600
for example we studied this yeah in 16 15 16 cases a woman because in them we're just looking at the
00:05:49.320
brother and sister since yeah a woman gets more money in inheritance than 16 or 15 uh male family
00:05:57.000
members right so the uncle the paternal uncle the cousins so she gets more inheritance than 14 male
00:06:04.600
family members okay in that instance so people don't talk about that so when you look at things
00:06:09.560
you know and in detail you will see that the woman is in a better off position yeah and the man is in a
00:06:14.520
position where he's providing and looking after putting his yeah you know okay what do you think
00:06:23.480
if you have any questions you can ask as well you know any questions yeah yeah yeah what if a woman
00:06:27.800
grows up wanting to be a provider oh yeah she can not wanting the choice of having everything given to
00:06:33.960
to her because i know there's loads of people who don't like the fact that everything's given to
00:06:37.880
it okay you know what really mohammed hijab sent me an article yesterday uh of it's about feminism and
00:06:43.720
they did a study over 20 years and they found out they interviewed i think a hundred thousand females
00:06:51.640
in the workplace yeah and 70 to 80 percent or more were unhappy working they preferred to be at home and
00:07:00.200
and there's a book by not will what's her name he wrote a book uh the delusion of men's um men
00:07:07.400
men's power something along those lines and you should read it but yeah yeah yeah you're saying
00:07:11.480
yeah so if she choose to work she can yeah yeah she can work then she let me she got more money
00:07:15.960
yeah the husband the husband can't touch that money right okay yeah where i'm at in the quran or maybe a
00:07:22.440
little bit before where i'm at there's a bit where it says that something like god takes us by night
00:07:29.160
and then returns us yes for the day for a specified term or whatever do you think that when you're
00:07:35.080
sleeping do you think you're sort of uh you don't remember what happens when you sleep really do you
00:07:40.280
think there's some sort of connection with god happening there during yeah we believe
