00:00:00.000 SID
00:00:02.000 The
00:00:03.400 You remember the day that you were
00:00:06.000 You were able to heal your mind
00:00:08.000 You were able to heal Allah
00:00:10.000 In the heart and you would return
00:00:12.000 Your mercy and your mercy
00:00:14.000 You were able to heal your soul
00:00:16.000 You were able to heal your life
00:00:18.000 You were able to heal your life
00:00:20.000 You were able to heal your life
00:00:22.000 And you were able to heal your life
00:00:24.000 So you said Sidd was...
00:00:26.000 Yeah, he agreed with something
00:00:28.000 He's causing the problems
00:00:30.000 Dina has free will
00:00:32.000 She can do what she wants
00:00:34.000 Look, to be honest, if you think about it
00:00:36.000 When we did our videos
00:00:38.000 I never mentioned to Dina
00:00:40.000 About a hijab
00:00:42.000 I didn't say, how dare you take it off
00:00:44.000 I never said that, all I said was
00:00:46.000 She's made that choice, okay
00:00:48.000 Before she said it was hard for her to wear it
00:00:50.000 We did a video supporting her
00:00:52.000 And I said, look, if you remember me and Musa
00:00:54.000 When she took it off, all I did was make a video
00:00:56.000 They were reacting to her taking it off
00:00:58.000 And telling their followers that just because she takes it off
00:01:00.000 Doesn't mean you have to
00:01:02.000 That was it
00:01:04.000 She has created a movement of people taking off their scarf
00:01:06.000 Exactly, so do you see
00:01:08.000 But this isn't necessarily an effect of her taking it off
00:01:10.000 They're not copying her, I think she's given
00:01:12.000 Empowered people to do it
00:01:14.000 The definition, like when you say empowered
00:01:16.000 Who said taking the hijab off is empowerment
00:01:18.000 That's the first question
00:01:19.000 I think that's subjective
00:01:20.000 What's empowering to someone is completely subjective
00:01:22.000 Of course, I think someone is empowered
00:01:24.000 True empowerment is when you submit your will to God
00:01:27.000 And try to follow his teachings
00:01:28.000 I think that's the most empowering thing
00:01:30.000 Because you know why?
00:01:31.000 Like it or not
00:01:32.000 Every single person in here
00:01:34.000 You have to follow a rule and a system
00:01:36.000 No matter what
00:01:37.000 So we are by nature
00:01:39.000 You're going to end up following something
00:01:40.000 So for example be our brothers
00:01:42.000 Who grow the beard
00:01:43.000 Go to the gym
00:01:44.000 Dress a certain way
00:01:45.000 You ask them
00:01:46.000 Why are you doing that?
00:01:47.000 Yeah, because you like it?
00:01:48.000 Maybe
00:01:49.000 But why?
00:01:50.000 Because the opposite gender likes that
00:01:51.000 Oh this is the new trend
00:01:52.000 This is the new fashion
00:01:53.000 I need to talk like this, walk like this, act like this
00:01:54.000 Wear these glasses
00:01:55.000 So the question is that
00:01:57.000 All of us are a slave
00:01:58.000 And bound to be a slave to something
00:02:00.000 By nature
00:02:01.000 Society
00:02:02.000 I see females wearing high heels
00:02:04.000 And she's not comfortable
00:02:06.000 You can see she takes it off and walks barefooted
00:02:08.000 So the question that needs to be asked is
00:02:11.000 Why are you wearing that?
00:02:12.000 And the same goes to men
00:02:13.000 Why are you dressed up like that?
00:02:15.000 Or why?
00:02:16.000 You don't have enough money
00:02:17.000 To buy chicken and chips for yourself
00:02:19.000 You're driving a car that's a ferry grand
00:02:20.000 It's not even your car
00:02:21.000 Why do you go to those lengths?
00:02:23.000 Because the society has made you feel
00:02:25.000 That you need to look a certain way
00:02:26.000 And act a certain way
00:02:27.000 Do you get it?
00:02:28.000 So when it comes to the word empowerment sister
00:02:30.000 What I'm trying to say is
00:02:31.000 True empowerment
00:02:32.000 And true freedom
00:02:33.000 Is only found with worshipping God alone
00:02:36.000 Because you're going to have all kinds of laws
00:02:38.000 And regulations that are in place
00:02:39.000 Do you get it?
00:02:40.000 So it's either you worship
00:02:41.000 You follow God's laws
00:02:42.000 Or
00:02:43.000 Society
00:02:44.000 Feminists
00:02:45.000 Capitalists
00:02:46.000 Communists
00:02:47.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:02:48.000 That's why I believe the word empowerment
00:02:50.000 It's
00:02:51.000 I wouldn't use it because
00:02:52.000 It's like oh I'm taking my hijab off
00:02:53.000 Empowerment
00:02:54.000 So you think that
00:02:55.000 By taking off her scarf
00:02:56.000 She's like subjecting herself to some
00:02:58.000 Oh 100%
00:02:59.000 No 100%
00:03:00.000 Because what it is is this yeah
00:03:01.000 Look everyone has their own struggles
00:03:03.000 Sometimes I have an iman law
00:03:04.000 I have an iman law
00:03:05.000 I'm a human being
00:03:06.000 Yeah
00:03:07.000 I'm not people thinking
00:03:08.000 Ah Ali Dawah is a holy guy
00:03:09.000 No
00:03:10.000 I don't have wings
00:03:11.000 Yeah
00:03:12.000 I make mistakes
00:03:13.000 I commit sins
00:03:14.000 Yeah
00:03:15.000 The question that needs to be asked is this
00:03:16.000 You have your struggles
00:03:17.000 But then to go
00:03:18.000 And talk about the religion of
00:03:20.000 Oh why could
00:03:21.000 Muslim women can't marry non-muslim men
00:03:24.000 Now you're crossing boundaries
00:03:26.000 Because there's a reason
00:03:27.000 There's
00:03:28.000 As Muslims
00:03:29.000 Muslim men
00:03:30.000 There is regulations to
00:03:31.000 Us marrying the Christians and the Jews
00:03:32.000 Even that
00:03:33.000 Some scholars say you can't
00:03:34.000 And even then
00:03:35.000 We are not allowed to marry
00:03:36.000 For example
00:03:37.000 Other belief systems
00:03:38.000 You get it?
00:03:39.000 So Allah has put that legislation in place
00:03:40.000 But to come now
00:03:41.000 For Dina to come and get that
00:03:43.000 And promote it
00:03:44.000 When she says
00:03:45.000 Oh I'm not a religious figure
00:03:46.000 Okay we accept it
00:03:47.000 Then why are you going down the route of issuing like a fatawa?
00:03:49.000 Do you know what I'm trying to say?
00:03:50.000 So that's why I believe sister
00:03:51.000 With me
00:03:52.000 I found true empowerment
00:03:54.000 True freedom
00:03:55.000 The invisible shackles
00:03:56.000 I broke them off
00:03:57.000 When I submitted my will to God
00:03:59.000 I said I'm submitting my will to you
00:04:01.000 Because if I do not submit it to you
00:04:02.000 I'm going to end up following my friends
00:04:04.000 Rap songs
00:04:06.000 Yeah?
00:04:07.000 There's all kinds of stuff
00:04:08.000 So this is what I believe
00:04:09.000 Empowerment and freedom is
00:04:10.000 As it won't hurt you
00:04:11.000 Yeah
00:04:12.000 I don't want to hurt you
00:04:13.000 You're not going to get hurt by wearing hijab
00:04:14.000 You're going to get a lot of blessings
00:04:16.000 But it is hard
00:04:17.000 It is hard
00:04:18.000 Like we know it's easier said than done
00:04:20.000 You get it?
00:04:21.000 We know for our sisters it's hard
00:04:22.000 But it's a struggle
00:04:23.000 It's a struggle
00:04:24.000 We just ask Allah to make it easy
00:04:25.000 For you guys
00:04:26.000 And for us
00:04:27.000 We've got a lot of things to work on
00:04:28.000 Modesty is not just for women
00:04:30.000 No
00:04:31.000 As always you have to have hijab as well
00:04:32.000 Exactly
00:04:33.000 Yeah
00:04:35.000 Any more questions?
00:04:36.000 How long have you been a Muslim?
00:04:41.000 I did Shahaba like
00:04:44.000 More years
00:04:45.000 Nearly two years ago
00:04:46.000 Oh is it?
00:04:47.000 What caused you?
00:04:48.000 Yeah
00:04:49.000 So close for men
00:04:50.000 As well
00:04:51.000 Yeah
00:04:52.000 Shahaba
00:04:53.000 Shabbat
00:04:54.000 Shabbat
00:04:55.000 Yeah
00:04:56.000 Keep an eye on that
00:04:57.000 It's not fair
00:04:58.000 Sister, your friend is alone
00:04:59.000 What is considered our Islam for men?
00:05:01.000 What made you come to Islam?
00:05:02.000 What made you come to Islam?
00:05:04.000 Because
00:05:05.000 I was looking into Christianity
00:05:06.000 I've seen one guy
00:05:07.000 One friend
00:05:08.000 Yeah
00:05:09.000 There was a lot of questions
00:05:10.000 Didn't really add up with Christianity
00:05:11.000 And Islam
00:05:12.000 No
00:05:13.000 Unsurprisingly
00:05:14.000 Not just
00:05:15.000 I mean chronologically, historically
00:05:16.000 It answers those questions
00:05:17.000 Yeah
00:05:18.000 So
00:05:19.000 To be honest
00:05:20.000 It's not very emotive
00:05:21.000 It's just
00:05:22.000 It makes logical sense
00:05:23.000 Right?
00:05:24.000 Is it she a river?
00:05:25.000 Or she must be?
00:05:26.000 No she's
00:05:27.000 Yeah that's good
00:05:28.000 If you have any questions
00:05:29.000 If I can help with
00:05:30.000 Thank you
00:05:31.000 I'm here
00:05:32.000 Nice talking to you
00:05:33.000 Thank you
