00:00:00.000 guys before the video starts i'm doing a winter appeal for syria afghanistan and ethiopia brothers
00:00:03.760 sisters inshallah people are literally freezing we would never live in those conditions help me
00:00:08.000 reach my target to give them some more i've done the seven day free trial of the qurani app
00:00:11.920 and it exceeded all my expectations what was the system you can build a habit with the quran
00:00:16.880 by seven day free trial brothers there's no credit card details required at all
00:00:20.160 and you decide for yourself is it overrated or is it underrated download it and see what time it is
00:00:26.320 assalamualaikum warahmatullahi barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends hope you guys are
00:00:31.920 well inshallah before i start i want to praise allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the most merciful the most
00:00:34.640 just or praises glory and gratitude belong to him in this video that i came across this was in america
00:00:39.440 it's um a youtube channel called jubilee and um in that video you have a group of muslims who are
00:00:44.640 standing and they asked a question and they've got some white lines on the floor and they have
00:00:49.280 questions of how strongly you disagree to agree mediocre whatever it may be yeah so here we go
00:00:54.400 this is let's see what the question is and let's see how they react to it and let's see what we can
00:00:57.440 learn from this okay so we can see on the floor strongly disagree disagree somewhat disagree
00:01:15.520 somewhat agree agree and strongly agree so if you notice i'm sure if you've noticed none of them is on
00:01:21.680 the side of agree or strongly agree most of them a bit more on the this side you know you've got
00:01:26.160 one sister who strongly disagrees you've got another sister who disagrees you've got one brother somewhat
00:01:30.240 disagrees no one's really in the middle but alhamdulillah at least we've got three that's on the
00:01:34.480 somewhat agree side which is understandable but let's dive into this a bit more strong feelings
00:01:40.560 i just feel like it's okay one just changed the whole mind okay a woman's right to cover if she wants to
00:01:46.640 and to tell a woman what to do with her body is totally against our islamic principles so you know
00:01:52.000 be hold on a second let's let's pause this for a second uh to tell a woman to cover her body is
00:01:55.920 against islamic principles no it's not this is an absolute lie let's be honest let's you know seriously
00:02:01.840 let's stop should we're caught in our religion yeah because what it does it backfires on us and the
00:02:06.160 thing is this whole concept of covering oneself why is it seen as a religious obligation like judaism
00:02:13.840 christianity islam um and other religions let's say sikhism hinduism whatever i mean they have some
00:02:19.120 some sort of covering except as well why is it that religions and specifically islam that we are
00:02:26.240 the only ones that somehow um not force but are told yeah now i'm gonna delve into that a bit more
00:02:32.960 with my favorite book beauty sick because it dismantles this completely but let's just carry on
00:02:39.280 hey guy here i just i just made a really conscious decision to be like somewhat agree because people
00:02:42.720 don't understand that hijab is like a concept as far as like it's not just like the actual head
00:02:46.240 scarf some really promotes the idea of modesty and that's how you get closer to god and if you feel
00:02:50.960 like having a headscarf is a way for you to get closer to god then so be it headscarf is not just
00:02:56.400 hijab let's just get that right okay 100 i agree with that because it's not just a headscarf it's your
00:03:01.040 behavior it's a personality it's how you treat your friends and your neighbors yeah for a lot of people the
00:03:05.200 process is build my courage my bravery and my confidence and then wear the scarf for me it was kind of
00:03:10.960 reverse i started with the scarf because i knew that i was not going to build that bravery unless
00:03:14.880 i started wearing it because when you put it on you start acting different you start acting nicer
00:03:18.640 kinder because now you're representing your religion your faith let's break this down now the question
00:03:22.880 i want to ask is very simple does somebody willingly starve their self does somebody willingly feel ugly
00:03:31.040 does somebody feel willingly so ugly that she believes that she is worthless and she willingly has sex with
00:03:39.680 men yes intimacy sexual intercourse with men does someone willingly cut an apple into eight slices and
00:03:47.680 have it every two hours an hour an hour so they don't feel hungry so they can have the ideal body
00:03:52.480 does somebody wake up willingly and spend two hours putting on makeup does somebody willingly don't want
00:03:58.560 to go out because they feel ugly does someone willingly spend thousands of pounds on their looks does
00:04:05.040 someone willingly go and get literally amputated in in a sense you know get their nose smashed because
00:04:11.920 they won't have the perfect nose or get their lips done or get their buttocks done and some people
00:04:16.400 actually die in the process they actually die in the process i want to ask a simple question do these
00:04:22.480 individuals these girls which is a pandemic a pandemic in the book that i read uh the the author says
00:04:29.680 it's a pandemic how millions of girls around the world maybe in the billions feel insecure feel
00:04:38.480 ugly feel so unattractive that one of the authors the author says in a book that a girl she was
00:04:45.680 interviewing said i felt so ugly that i felt so worthless that i thought no man wants to be with
00:04:51.600 me so i would go and sleep around and she says that if i had time if i could turn about time turn back
00:04:58.080 time that she would have never done that this for some reason is not forced so let me get this
00:05:03.120 right as muslims we are forced and you know everyone's going to disagree etc it's a woman's
00:05:07.760 choice was no no no no let me sorry let me make that very clear it's not my choice to wake up in
00:05:11.600 for fajr in the morning no i am told to do it i am told not i choose to i do not choose to grow a beard
00:05:19.280 i am told to grow a beard i am told to fast i am told to pray i am told to give in zakah
00:05:25.840 i am told to be good and i'm told to stay away from major sins let's get away from this liberal
00:05:30.400 notion that no no we have the choice no you don't have the choice i don't have the choice it's not
00:05:35.520 just you and neither do these girls who do not wear the hijab who you know the western woman yeah
00:05:42.480 who do not have the choice either so where do we both meet because we both don't have choices
00:05:47.840 the point is the following and i will wrap up with this i'd like to anyone to come and debate me
00:05:51.920 on this topic very clearly everybody is bound to be forced like one philosopher said every man is born
00:05:59.280 free but is in shackles everywhere meaning either you're going to be forced by your society and be
00:06:04.640 a slave to your society yeah and the beauty industry and what's the beauty beauty ideal which the author
00:06:10.000 in the beauty six says that it's actually rigged you can never reach that yeah you can never reach that
00:06:14.480 or you obey the one that created you it's as simple as that both of them are telling you to do
00:06:20.160 something one doesn't deserve to be worshipped one doesn't deserve for you to be enslaved to
00:06:24.800 the other one deserves to be worshipped because he created you and deserves your enslavement i want
00:06:29.040 to talk about enslavement not you know like a you know get whipped and be up no with the promise of
00:06:34.160 paradise and he's worth and he's worthy of worship and once you enslave yourself to him you only have
00:06:40.720 to point prove your point to him and he doesn't look at your beauty or your outer appearance he does not
00:06:46.240 care how you look he only cares about what's inside you taqwa taqwa taqwa taqwa and that is the most
00:06:54.720 beautiful thing and that is the reason why so many women are flocking to islam because they free
00:06:59.840 themselves and they take control of their sexuality and they do not be an eye candy for men who use and
00:07:05.280 abuse them that makes me sick to come across women in the dm people message me telling me i was in a
00:07:10.560 relationship and i got dumped yeah i got broken up why because you have no security these men young
00:07:18.080 men are polygamous men who want to get in a relationship with you get what they want because
00:07:22.560 you've given them everything they want nothing to save no security nothing to hold on to they leave
00:07:26.880 and go and you think it was a relationship didn't work no this was a man who was practicing polygamy
00:07:32.640 because men are polygamous by nature practicing polygamy you happen to be one of those girls he got what he
00:07:37.680 was and now he's moving on to another mate because he's polygamous and he's going to do the same with
00:07:41.840 the next girl and the next girl and the next girl until he decides to settle down that is my point
00:07:48.320 here and i'll end on that no insha'Allah so let's not come with this oh you know we choose to know you
00:07:52.960 do not you either choose to obey allah or you choose to obey the creation you choose till next time
00:08:00.240 don't ever come to me or anybody come and tell me women are oppressed alhamdulillah for islam
00:08:05.040 till next time assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
