Transcript

00:00:00.000 300 families, over 1000 orphans are going to benefit, please help me reach my target now.
00:00:30.000 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:34.180 I'm in the very park where this heinous crime took place.
00:00:37.320 This is a story which we are starting to hear over and over again, brothers and sisters.
00:00:42.360 A couple of months ago, it happened to a young lady, Sarah.
00:00:47.200 And the spot that I'm standing in, brothers and sisters, is where it happened to sister Sabina.
00:00:51.740 The question that we need to ask is what is causing these men, or whoever it may be,
00:00:58.600 to carry out these heinous attacks, brothers and sisters?
00:01:01.340 How is it that a female cannot go, walk safely on the streets of London or wherever it may be?
00:01:10.640 And we need to ask this question on a micro level and on a macro level.
00:01:14.660 What is causing on a micro level for such individuals to commit such heinous crimes
00:01:20.320 that an innocent person like sister Sabina or sister Sarah
00:01:25.300 losing their lives to vile individuals?
00:01:29.580 What is the root of the problem?
00:01:32.660 Brothers and sisters, this is my point of today.
00:01:36.700 Because as a man, a young man, I have to ask and beg the question,
00:01:41.560 what would cause any man in their right man, right mind to do this?
00:01:46.120 Now, I'm not well, I'm ill.
00:01:47.840 I've left my house, all the way in North London, to come here, as you guys could see.
00:01:51.900 To cover this story, and I've been wanting to cover this story from the very beginning,
00:01:55.000 but I had some family matters that I had to attend to.
00:01:58.780 So even being ill, I had to get out of the way.
00:02:01.380 I didn't have a cameraman, may Allah bless, I asked a brother to come,
00:02:04.160 and he's filming for me, brothers and sisters, yeah?
00:02:05.780 And as Muslim, brothers and sisters, Islam has come to preserve five things.
00:02:11.460 The health, the wealth, the mind, the religion, and the lineage of every individual.
00:02:18.280 And it does this on a micro level and on a macro level.
00:02:21.120 Now, I'm going to tell you how this connects to the problem that we're living in,
00:02:24.460 and the lifestyle that we live today in the Western world, liberalism,
00:02:27.880 I believe is one of the causes of this.
00:02:29.840 Now, you may be asking me how.
00:02:31.380 Brothers and sisters, we live in a selfish society.
00:02:32.960 And what I'm about to say, I'm not saying it has any correlation or causation to this.
00:02:36.960 I'm talking about a bigger, broader picture, brothers and sisters.
00:02:39.300 When a certain study was done, over 600 men, and they asked them that when they,
00:02:44.420 and the study carried out showed that as adolescents, when they were watching pornography,
00:02:49.300 that caused them to carry out violent crimes in their adult lives.
00:02:53.740 Brothers and sisters, the dehumanization of women,
00:02:58.160 the dehumanization of females, sisters, girls, whoever they meet.
00:03:02.760 White, black, green, yellow, whatever.
00:03:05.280 Muslim, non-Muslim.
00:03:06.960 Why should innocent young girls' lives be taken in such ways?
00:03:11.820 Or in any way?
00:03:12.880 Why does one contemplate or disvalue the life of females?
00:03:17.880 Brothers and sisters, the macro problem is our society.
00:03:21.160 Every time I drive down the road being the A406, when I'm in Oxford Street, when I open my phone, when I open the TV,
00:03:29.440 whatever it may be, all I see all the time is the sexualization of women.
00:03:34.960 They have become nothing but sexual objects.
00:03:37.680 Because a study carried out a couple of years ago, I think more than 10 plus years ago,
00:03:42.100 showed that when men look at women in bikinis or whatever it may be,
00:03:46.340 the part of the brain that lights up for tool use, tool use, they don't even see them as co-human beings.
00:03:52.200 And once again, I'm digressing from the very event, but I'm trying to make a bigger, broader picture of brothers and sisters.
00:03:57.980 How do we tackle this issue?
00:04:00.380 We believe Islam has a solution.
00:04:01.900 How?
00:04:03.040 And I'm not using these instances to propagate Islam, but I'm just being real.
00:04:08.300 Islam tells us, Allah says to us in the Quran,
00:04:10.480 tell the believing men and the believing women to lower your gaze.
00:04:13.700 What does that mean?
00:04:15.160 When I'm walking down the road,
00:04:17.400 if I see a woman who may be dressed inappropriately or appropriately,
00:04:20.920 in a hijab or a niqab or wearing whatever it may be that she wants,
00:04:25.580 that I am told to lower my gaze.
00:04:29.320 Now, what is the point here?
00:04:30.300 The point I'm trying to make, brothers and sisters,
00:04:32.340 is that I am not even allowed, by God Almighty,
00:04:36.760 to even, when I'm looking, and if I have any kind of thought,
00:04:40.940 I am not allowed to even fathom or think of anything sexual.
00:04:45.660 And that is the reason why we are told to lower our gaze.
00:04:48.720 Meaning, as Muslim men, that is how we should be, yeah?
00:04:52.620 That we are not even allowed to see or comprehend or for a moment,
00:04:56.820 sexualize a woman.
00:04:57.620 We're not allowed.
00:04:58.100 That's why we are told, tell the believing men.
00:05:01.020 Allah tells the men first to lower your gaze.
00:05:03.880 And it doesn't say, for example,
00:05:06.460 that you should lower your gaze only for those who are dressed correctly,
00:05:09.820 for whoever it may be.
00:05:11.440 It deals with this issue for men on a micro level,
00:05:15.360 teaching them that women are human beings.
00:05:18.340 They have more to offer than their body parts.
00:05:22.300 And if you read a book called Beauty Seek,
00:05:24.360 you will understand how women are going to lengths of trying to beautify themselves.
00:05:28.720 And they think that the only thing they have to offer is the beauty.
00:05:31.820 And brothers and sisters, on a macro level,
00:05:33.900 Islam has come to tackle the issues.
00:05:35.940 For example, these adverts, sexualization of women,
00:05:40.840 that is perpetually in our faces,
00:05:45.140 Islam cuts all of those evils, the roots.
00:05:48.020 These are not permissible.
00:05:49.580 Pornography.
00:05:50.720 Pornography.
00:05:51.420 There was a video, and I'm not saying there's correlation equals causation.
00:05:55.280 A lot of serial killers were interviewed,
00:05:56.480 and they said one of the factors in the heinous crimes of watching pornography,
00:06:00.700 because they are not human.
00:06:02.360 These women are treated as sexual objects.
00:06:04.640 Hits.
00:06:05.160 Slapped.
00:06:07.320 And Islam deals with this on a macro level.
00:06:09.760 How?
00:06:10.440 By cutting the roots of evil.
00:06:13.040 Alcohol, not permissible.
00:06:16.520 Sexually exploited things,
00:06:19.260 be it imagery,
00:06:20.980 be it in any way, shape, or form, pornography,
00:06:23.020 is cut.
00:06:24.080 And when these things are implemented in a society,
00:06:26.480 it's to preserve the moral ethics of everybody as a whole.
00:06:30.980 So that if one perverted individual commits a heinous crime,
00:06:34.960 the capital punishment applies.
00:06:36.620 And Islam is very, very severe in this.
00:06:39.140 Very severe.
00:06:40.200 Because once it's dealt with it on a micro level
00:06:42.480 by educating the men or the women,
00:06:45.160 and then it deals with it on a macro level
00:06:47.100 for the society as a whole,
00:06:49.720 and it shows you brothers and sisters that
00:06:51.320 if someone who's living in a society
00:06:53.780 where women are not dehumanized,
00:06:55.480 alcohol is not permissible,
00:06:57.300 and other factors which cause great harm in many ways,
00:07:00.260 yeah,
00:07:01.620 it's dealt with,
00:07:02.960 then why would one commit a crime?
00:07:05.040 And if one does,
00:07:06.360 the capital punishment then applies.
00:07:08.900 And I believe,
00:07:10.200 to such individuals,
00:07:10.980 and I digress off topic,
00:07:11.840 that I believe this is one of the root causes of,
00:07:15.300 and in this very instance,
00:07:16.300 I'm not saying this man did it for that reason.
00:07:18.760 That's not my point.
00:07:19.920 My point is that,
00:07:21.800 sadly,
00:07:22.940 sadly,
00:07:23.740 it plays a massive role
00:07:25.220 in how men view women,
00:07:27.780 etc.
00:07:28.100 and this is one of the reasons
00:07:30.220 why I wanted to do this video,
00:07:31.240 and we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:07:32.620 to have mercy on the sister,
00:07:34.660 and give her the highest ranks of Jannah,
00:07:36.060 inshallah,
00:07:36.820 and sadly,
00:07:37.760 there are,
00:07:38.200 like,
00:07:38.480 you know,
00:07:39.160 details,
00:07:40.320 given that's unnecessary,
00:07:42.100 things saying like,
00:07:42.860 oh,
00:07:43.300 she was on the way to the pub,
00:07:44.740 etc.
00:07:45.260 We assume the best in the believers.
00:07:47.340 Wish she went there to just see a friend,
00:07:49.100 you know,
00:07:49.580 but this is nonsense,
00:07:50.720 and anyone sharing this information,
00:07:52.820 you know,
00:07:54.060 sharing this information,
00:07:55.200 should really,
00:07:55.940 really think twice,
00:07:57.860 about what they're saying.
00:07:59.000 And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:08:00.180 to deal with this man,
00:08:02.500 and wallahi,
00:08:03.460 that he deserves the capital punishment.
00:08:05.600 And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:08:07.160 to use this,
00:08:09.360 and get this individual,
00:08:10.840 on the day of judgment,
00:08:11.680 because we believe on a day,
00:08:12.860 of reckoning.
00:08:13.800 We believe in a day
00:08:14.580 where people are going to be questioned,
00:08:16.160 and we hope that what this act did,
00:08:18.540 is going to be a means
00:08:19.620 for our sister to enter paradise,
00:08:21.460 and we ask her,
00:08:22.540 and we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:08:23.640 to forgive her sins.
00:08:25.280 A message to Sister Sabina's family.
00:08:28.100 Alhamdulillah,
00:08:28.680 we as Muslims believe in the hereafter.
00:08:30.580 We believe in accountability,
00:08:32.140 and the day of resurrection.
00:08:34.240 And Allah says,
00:08:34.880 indeed,
00:08:35.300 you might hate something which is good for you,
00:08:37.000 and you may love something which is bad for you.
00:08:39.120 We hope,
00:08:39.760 and make dua,
00:08:40.460 that this is a reason,
00:08:41.320 that she enters paradise,
00:08:42.980 and we know that on the day of judgment,
00:08:45.720 those who've wronged others will bear their sins.
00:08:48.280 And,
00:08:49.240 if they cannot give,
00:08:51.700 or bear their sins,
00:08:52.460 brothers and sisters,
00:08:53.320 in the context where,
00:08:54.600 you know,
00:08:54.920 if I've wronged somebody,
00:08:56.760 they would get my good deeds.
00:08:59.160 And if I have no good deeds,
00:09:00.540 I would bear their sins.
00:09:01.880 We hope that this is a means,
00:09:03.960 that even though we hate what happened,
00:09:06.980 and we are saddened,
00:09:08.340 because of what happened,
00:09:09.340 that this is a means,
00:09:10.640 that on the day of judgment,
00:09:11.640 Sister Sabina gets her justice,
00:09:13.560 through this vile man.
00:09:14.960 And let it be a means,
00:09:16.480 that she enters paradise.
00:09:18.000 So,
00:09:18.340 my dear,
00:09:18.940 Sister Sabina's family,
00:09:20.560 inshallah,
00:09:21.000 make dua,
00:09:21.640 do sadaqa ja'ali on her name,
00:09:23.000 inshallah,
00:09:23.720 and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:09:25.020 forgive her for her shortcomings,
00:09:26.440 and grant her the highest ranks of Jannah.
00:09:27.960 And what's really sad,
00:09:29.420 is that sadly,
00:09:30.140 this story is not being covered,
00:09:31.520 as much as it,
00:09:33.320 did,
00:09:33.760 when Sister Sarah,
00:09:35.440 another individual,
00:09:37.420 a co-female,
00:09:39.080 a co-sister in humanity,
00:09:40.980 was killed.
00:09:41.800 And we hope,
00:09:42.640 that this is covered,
00:09:43.800 because we want to put an end,
00:09:45.620 to these things.
00:09:46.600 But putting an end,
00:09:47.600 sadly,
00:09:48.260 is not,
00:09:49.220 by putting one in prison,
00:09:52.040 but to deal with it,
00:09:54.120 at a root level,
00:09:55.040 inshallah.
00:09:55.500 And we ask you,
00:09:56.220 inshallah,
00:09:56.440 to give her sadaqa ja'ali,
00:09:57.360 under her name,
00:09:58.260 or whatever it may be,
00:09:59.060 inshallah.
00:09:59.740 And I came here,
00:10:00.560 because it's too often,
00:10:01.440 that we see these stories,
00:10:02.580 and anything that I mentioned,
00:10:03.860 is just my frustration,
00:10:05.160 of sadly,
00:10:06.020 how women are perceived,
00:10:07.680 and it's sad.
00:10:08.880 Women,
00:10:09.620 to us as Muslims,
00:10:11.120 and Islam,
00:10:11.920 women are honoured,
00:10:12.600 as individuals,
00:10:13.600 and they are more,
00:10:14.760 than what they can just offer,
00:10:16.100 with their beauty.
00:10:17.180 And I just wanted to remind you,
00:10:18.580 of that inshallah.
00:10:19.660 And whatever,
00:10:21.400 was the reason,
00:10:22.260 this vile individual,
00:10:23.560 committed this act,
00:10:24.620 may God deal with him,
00:10:25.760 in this life,
00:10:26.920 and in the hereafter.
00:10:28.380 Till next time,
00:10:28.940 brothers and sisters,
00:10:29.540 Assalamualaikum,
00:10:30.760 wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
