00:00:52.960 other one is my sister-in-law my wife's sister now the reason we're here today in the french
00:00:57.040 embassy brothers and sisters is to highlight a very important issue what is that issue now brothers
00:01:01.440 and sisters what we need to understand is that the european high court has given a verdict and
00:01:06.640 what's that verdict that muslim women cannot wear their hijab in the workplace anymore why the question
00:01:12.640 that we need to ask ourselves is why is it that the european union or the western worlds be it france
00:01:19.440 austria germany and different countries have a problem with us uh with the muslim woman and the
00:01:25.280 hijab why are they so threatened by a mere hijab that these sisters my wife and her sisters wearing
00:01:32.720 what is the biggest threat that concerns you so much that you want to take away from them
00:01:38.480 what is it you're trying to sexualize them degrade them and brothers and sisters this is this shows you
00:01:46.400 how powerful and this is a direct message to my sisters that are watching this they want to strip
00:01:50.720 you starting from your head all the way down to your toes why because they want to make you feel as
00:01:57.200 if you're being liberated and we know very clearly that you are not being liberated and that's the reason
00:02:02.640 why we want to raise awareness and we want to use the hashtag hands off my hijab and what i want every
00:02:08.240 single one of you guys to do here is anytime you go past the french embassy or the german embassy i want
00:02:14.320 sisters specifically or brothers with their partners to come and take a picture right in front with your
00:02:20.800 wife wearing the hijab or the niqab or whatever it may be to make awareness in solidarity with our
00:02:26.880 sisters around the world and in the west in the uk thank god we do not have these notes but what this
00:02:32.400 shows you is brothers and sisters that all started off with the niqab right it all started off with the
00:02:37.440 niqab first they said oh no it's not the niqab it's a it's political islam nonsense now it's come down to
00:02:42.960 hijab and the question that needs to be asked is once they come for the hijab and the hijab is taken
00:02:48.800 off what else are they going to ask for this is our concern so brothers and sisters we are asking for
00:02:54.720 every single one who is watching this to raise awareness to this matter because it is not fair
00:02:59.680 a woman can and we hear this a lot a woman can choose how she wants to dress but the question is
00:03:04.480 why is that when a muslim woman chooses to wear a hijab it becomes a big problem why can't she choose to
00:03:10.080 wear her hijab why and allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the quran and the verses go on and allah
00:03:23.600 subhanahu wa ta'ala is talking about the believing man and the muslim man and the muslim woman the
00:03:27.200 believing man and the believing woman um the obedient man and the obedient woman and it goes
00:03:31.280 on allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaking directly to our brothers and sisters but specifically for our
00:03:36.240 sisters hold tight to your hijab hold tight to your jilbab and niqab whatever you want to wear
00:03:41.680 even for our sisters who are trying their best to wear the hijab the point is this brothers sisters
00:03:46.080 oh it's okay don't worry sister it's okay the point is this what we're seeing is that if we keep quiet
00:03:52.240 to this matter this shows us that they are not going to stop at that yeah you give them a finger
00:03:57.280 they're going to want the whole arm for the video ends let's ask the two muslim hijabi woman behind me
00:04:02.720 if they choose to wear the hijab or are they forced into it let's go do you choose to wear
00:04:07.520 the hijab no you don't no do you choose to wear the hijab no so so why do you wear it because
00:04:16.880 what about you it's because allah told me to hold on a second guys let me get this right let me sit
00:04:21.120 down let me sit down so they don't choose to wear the hijab but we thought a lot of muslim women say
00:04:26.400 no i choose to brothers and sisters let's make something very clear we do not choose to wear the hijab we
00:04:31.440 are told to wear the hijab by allah now you might be thinking well that's that's that's oppression
00:04:36.720 and we say no you know why we say no brothers and sisters because we believe every single woman
00:04:41.200 and man like a very famous philosopher said man is born free but in shackles everywhere you know what
00:04:47.200 that means growing sisters for anybody that comes and says you know what i choose to dress up half
00:04:51.200 naked or i choose to dress up in this way or that way no you don't your society and the makeup industry
00:04:56.480 and the beauty industry makes you feel so ugly that you have to dress in a certain way to appease
00:05:01.280 that or to appease the opposite gender whatever it may be so when anybody comes and says hold on a
00:05:06.640 second we choose to do this no you don't actually because you are subconsciously made to feel ugly
00:05:13.120 in a certain way that you have to perform and look a certain way why would so many women go and have
00:05:17.200 plastic surgery and feel ugly and the makeup industry is a billion pound industry why because
00:05:22.000 they want to or because they feel insecure so that is our point our point is everyone is told to look a
00:05:30.000 certain way why do you guys have a problem when the muslim woman or the muslim man is told by their
00:05:36.400 creator which we should obey if there's anyone that we should be following is our creator to dress up in
00:05:41.680 a hijab or a jilbab or a niqab or a buyer or a beard and as muslim man to cover our modesty and know where
00:05:48.080 our gaze is why is that a problem so here is the action plan hashtag what you see underneath here hands
00:05:54.400 of my hijab and i want sisters and brothers who married as well inshallah married uh couples to
00:05:59.920 come here in front of the french embassy in front of the german embassy and take a picture with your
00:06:03.920 wife you can blur their faces if they want to if they don't want to that's totally up to them and
00:06:07.200 hashtag and send it so because legally if you can see in the context the embassies are kind of their
00:06:13.120 soil their grounds so we are here in the french soil yeah legally i think that's if i'm not mistaken
00:06:18.160 and we are telling you get your hands off our sister's hijab till next time assalamualaikum warahmatullahi
