In this podcast, I talk about a recent video of a man wearing a niqab and a jilbab. The reason behind this is because he is going from obeying one master to multiple masters. Who can be more free than the one master?
00:00:00.000We want to establish an amazing masjid for the sake of Allah SWT

00:00:36.000This video that I came across kind of disturbed me but at the same time I felt sorry for the individual
00:00:41.000and I felt more disturbed when he actually took off this niqab that he was wearing with the jilbab
00:00:48.000because what I saw I was like bloody yo you looked much better with it on than without it. Show!
00:00:59.000I mean he looked much much better with that on rather than with it off. And we know it's haram for a man to dress up as a woman.
00:01:06.000But I mean the sharia in certain circumstances could even say you know what maybe it's better for this man to walk around in a niqab or jilbab
00:01:13.000than walk around in that manner. You know not much to be said. But the funny thing and the ironic thing is the following
00:01:20.000I mean he looked much much better with that on rather than with it off. And we know it's haram for a man to dress up as a woman.
00:01:28.000But I mean the sharia in certain circumstances could even say you know what maybe it's better for this man to walk around in a niqab or jilbab
00:01:35.000than walk around in that manner. You know not much to be said. But the funny thing and the ironic thing is the following
00:01:43.000and this is what Allah SWT says in Surah Zumar. And he gives a parable. Allah SWT says
00:01:48.000Allah presents an example. A man who's owned by quarreling, arguing partners and another belonging exclusively to one man.
00:01:56.000So meaning one has multiple masters and one has one master. Are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah but most of them do not know.
00:02:06.000Now when the niqab and the jilbab that is mocking, the woman or the man who wears the Islamic attire and a man should be covered up his woe.
00:02:15.000We are deciding that God Almighty knows what is best for us. We have one Lord which is Allah. He tells us what to do.
00:02:23.000And he tells us a simple dress code. That dress code doesn't change. For a woman it is that everywhere should be covered except the hands and the face.
00:02:31.000For a man that he should obviously lower his gaze, have modesty in himself internally, externally and also cover from the navel to the knee.
00:02:38.000Yes? Of course there's a difference in opinion on the matter. But in a nutshell that doesn't change.
00:02:44.000But what you see in the performance is very ironic. Because when he takes that off and steps forward, he is going from, and this is very interesting, and this goes to this ayah.
00:02:54.000He is going from obeying one master to now multiple masters. And if this was a woman that's doing this, the society that she lives in, the liberal society, the western society, is arguing to this day what is modesty?
00:03:08.000A skirt fully covering her legs? Or is it a skirt that's just below the knee? A skirt that's up to the knee? Just above the knee? A mini skirt? Maybe a bikini?
00:03:20.000So you can see that the moment you step out from the niqab where our God Almighty is ordained, you are bound to be enslaved to multiple masters who are going to tell you,
00:03:30.000No, dress up like this. That's modesty. That is what morality is. No, no, no. Today it's this. No, tomorrow it's that. You are obeying multiple masters now.
00:03:40.000And that is the key. When I see this performance, I just feel sorry that from the obedience of one God, you are going to go to the obedience of multiple masters.
00:03:49.100From one master to multiple masters. Not only that, it affects your clothing that you do not even know what to wear.
00:03:55.320You don't even know what is okay. It's fashion that dictates you. So isn't it ironic that we have a religion that is from the one master?
00:04:02.900And that one master tells us and commands us one thing, and we follow that.
00:04:06.820Who can be more free than the one who obeys that one master?
00:04:12.000Or like Allah says in the Qur'an in Surah Zumar, the one who has multiple masters and he doesn't know what to do.
00:04:17.500And this is the same with females and men who are living in a society, and I used to be the byproduct of one of those.
00:04:23.820I used to be one of those individuals who used to dress a certain way, work extra hours, look a certain way, go to the gym, whatever it may be,
00:04:30.160because I had so many masters to please.
00:04:32.500Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen, that I now have one master, and I have one way of living, and simple commandments that I obey.
00:04:41.400And I found my true freedom when I enslaved myself to the one who created me and who deserves my worship.
00:04:47.400And that is the true freedom that you will truly face and truly live.
00:04:51.700Other than that, you are bound to be enslaved and in shackles to multiple masters pulling you this way and that way,
