00:00:21.920 I like women for example as well, the religion is very oppressive of women

00:00:29.920 How? What's aggressive about it?

00:00:31.920 Well in terms of teaching and education, going to school, dressing and how they dress

00:00:37.920 Oh you can't go to school, who said you can't go to school?

00:00:39.920 Lots of cultures of Muslims and religions

00:00:41.920 No, not Muslim religion, Islam, I want to talk about Islam

00:00:45.920 But what Muslims do aside is Islam and there's Muslims

00:00:47.920 There are Muslims who go and commit atrocities and blow themselves up

00:00:49.920 Islam and Muslims are two separate discussions

00:00:53.920 Women are allowed to education

00:00:56.920 Women are allowed to education

00:00:57.920 The rights that women got in Islam 1400 years ago

00:01:00.920 The Western women got 100 years ago

00:01:02.920 The right to inherit

00:01:03.920 Before, women was inherited

00:01:05.920 She was a product

00:01:06.920 She was inherited

00:01:08.920 The fact that you don't need to

00:01:09.920 As a Muslim, like my wife doesn't have to take my surname

00:01:12.920 This was 100 years ago when we did a feminist

00:01:15.920 The right to work, the right to own property

00:01:17.920 Yeah, the right for maher

00:01:19.920 For example

00:01:20.920 As

00:01:21.920 If you, for example

00:01:22.920 You as a Muslim woman

00:01:23.920 If I was to marry

00:01:24.920 If I was to argue and say

00:01:25.920 Let's suppose somebody propose to you

00:01:26.920 Yeah?

00:01:27.920 They have to go about it in a certain way

00:01:28.920 They have to speak to your dad

00:01:29.920 Do you know why they have to speak to your dad?

00:01:31.920 Because

00:01:33.920 A lot of the Western women fought for this trap of dating

00:01:35.920 I believe it is the biggest fraud

00:01:37.920 Because all you do is

00:01:38.920 You are coming across men

00:01:39.920 You have no idea what their gender is

00:01:41.920 And you are committing to them

00:01:42.920 And falling in love with them

00:01:43.920 And they are all after one thing

00:01:44.920 And they leave you broken

00:01:45.920 And they leave

00:01:46.920 Yes?

00:01:47.920 No?

00:01:48.920 Tell me why not

00:01:49.920 Tell me why not

00:01:50.920 I would argue that lots of Muslim women

00:01:52.920 Religious women

00:01:53.920 Yeah

00:01:54.920 In general

00:01:55.920 Stay in unhappy marriages

00:01:56.920 But where did you get that from?

00:01:57.920 Because

00:01:58.920 Because

00:01:59.920 The idea of divorce

00:02:00.920 Isstam is not in divorce

00:02:01.920 Not at all

00:02:02.920 In Islam you are allowed to get divorced

00:02:03.920 Actually Islam is

00:02:04.920 Islam is

00:02:05.920 One of the only religions

00:02:06.920 That allows a woman to get divorced

00:02:07.920 She has a right to divorce

00:02:09.920 Jews

00:02:10.920 Jewish

00:02:11.920 In the Jewish religion

00:02:12.920 A woman is not allowed to

00:02:13.920 It's called the get

00:02:14.920 She is not allowed to get that

00:02:15.920 Until

00:02:16.920 It's quite ironic

00:02:17.920 She is not allowed to get the get

00:02:18.920 Unless her husband allows it

00:02:19.920 So there was a documentary on

00:02:20.920 I think Netflix

00:02:21.920 Which shows these women

00:02:22.920 That are still stuck with their husband

00:02:24.920 In Islam

00:02:25.920 A woman has a right to divorce

00:02:26.920 This was also by

00:02:27.920 In the western world

00:02:28.920 If I am not mistaken

00:02:29.920 The western woman

00:02:30.920 Feminism

00:02:31.920 In the past 100 years

00:02:32.920 I don't think they had a right to divorce

00:02:34.920 If I am not mistaken

00:02:35.920 1400 years ago

00:02:36.920 God almighty

00:02:37.920 I think they are Christian

00:02:38.920 Whatever it may be

00:02:39.920 But you said

00:02:41.920 Islam oppresses women

00:02:42.920 Islam gave the woman a right to divorce

00:02:44.920 She has a right to divorce

00:02:45.920 You know if a woman

00:02:46.920 Is not sexually pleased

00:02:47.920 Satisfied

00:02:48.920 Sexually satisfied with her husband

00:02:49.920 She can aspire for divorce

00:02:50.920 This is true

00:02:51.920 Yeah

00:02:52.920 So the thing is here sister

00:02:53.920 The things that you may have heard

00:02:54.920 In the newspaper

00:02:55.920 Wherever it may be

00:02:56.920 Is false

00:02:57.920 Islam gives

00:02:58.920 Coming back to a man

00:02:59.920 Wanting to marry you

00:03:00.920 For example

00:03:01.920 If he wants to marry

00:03:02.920 He has to speak to your dad

00:03:03.920 Is because

00:03:04.920 If he has any ulterior motives

00:03:06.920 Yeah

00:03:07.920 He would not want to speak to your dad

00:03:08.920 Number 2

00:03:09.920 That

00:03:10.920 If you do get married to him

00:03:11.920 You have a right for a dowry

00:03:12.920 You know what a dowry is?

00:03:13.920 Why

00:03:14.920 Why your dad

00:03:15.920 What's wrong with speaking to your mother?

00:03:17.920 No your dad is your guardian

00:03:19.920 Let me tell you why

00:03:20.920 Because a man knows a man

00:03:21.920 And that in itself

00:03:23.920 Is a bit sexist

00:03:24.920 No I don't think it's sexist at all

00:03:25.920 It's almost as if my father owns me

00:03:27.920 No not at all

00:03:28.920 See this is

00:03:29.920 To keep me away

00:03:30.920 No not at all

00:03:31.920 Because the thing is

00:03:32.920 The prophet said no one can force their daughters to get married

00:03:34.920 So this false marriage concept is not an Islam

00:03:36.920 The reason it's your dad

00:03:38.920 If it's not your dad

00:03:39.920 Then it's your brother

00:03:40.920 If it's not your brother

00:03:41.920 It's your granddad

00:03:42.920 Because what we say is

00:03:43.920 A man knows a man

00:03:44.920 So if somebody comes to ask my daughter's hand

00:03:46.920 Yeah

00:03:47.920 And I believe certain times

00:03:49.920 For example

00:03:50.920 A man might be able to deceive a female

00:03:53.920 Yeah and it also happens in the opposite way as well

00:03:55.920 There are women who can do the same thing

00:03:57.920 The reason why it's there

00:03:58.920 Is to protect and maintain the rights of a woman

00:04:00.920 That's what Allah says in the Quran

00:04:01.920 Men are the maintainers and protectors of women

00:04:03.920 Now when this is said

00:04:05.920 A lot of people

00:04:06.920 The western women take a step back

00:04:07.920 Why do I need protecting

00:04:08.920 Why do I need maintaining

00:04:09.920 But it's because the western world

00:04:11.920 Has made you believe

00:04:12.920 That Miss Independent

00:04:13.920 By the way

00:04:14.920 A Muslim woman can work

00:04:15.920 My wife can work if she wants

00:04:17.920 And what's very interesting

00:04:18.920 Is her money

00:04:19.920 Is her money

00:04:20.920 So I can't touch her money

00:04:21.920 So if my wife is a millionaire

00:04:23.920 And I'm broke

00:04:24.920 And I'm begging on the streets

00:04:25.920 And I can't touch her money

00:04:27.920 So I'm just saying

00:04:29.920 The reason this is in place sister

00:04:30.920 Is to save you from heartache

00:04:31.920 There is a long western woman

00:04:33.920 There was a woman actually

00:04:34.920 She was on Love Island

00:04:36.920 I think she had killed herself

00:04:37.920 Yeah

00:04:38.920 I forgot her name

00:04:39.920 She was a brown lady

00:04:40.920 And she was fed up

00:04:41.920 Of getting into relationships

00:04:42.920 And with no end

00:04:44.920 So you have no security sister

00:04:46.920 Let me make it very clear

00:04:47.920 I'm not sure she killed herself

00:04:48.920 Because of the relationship

00:04:49.920 No, no

00:04:50.920 There's a lot of online

00:04:51.920 No, no, no

00:04:52.920 There was things that she mentioned

00:04:53.920 About unstable relationships

00:04:54.920 Her boyfriend said

00:04:55.920 Something along those lines

00:04:56.920 Where she was in relationships

00:04:58.920 And she would continuously

00:04:59.920 With her work

00:05:00.920 They would break up etc

00:05:01.920 It's every woman's dream

00:05:02.920 To have a nice wedding

00:05:03.920 To have kids

00:05:04.920 Because a father casts his eye

00:05:05.920 Over a man

00:05:06.920 That that stops a lot

00:05:07.920 Sort of relationship drama

00:05:09.920 Okay

00:05:10.920 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

00:05:11.920 Because there's relationship dramas

00:05:12.920 In Muslim couples

00:05:13.920 I'm not talking about that

00:05:14.920 What I'm trying to talk about

00:05:15.920 What I'm trying to talk about is

00:05:16.920 As a woman

00:05:17.920 God Almighty has allowed

00:05:18.920 And I don't

00:05:19.920 I don't know why

00:05:20.920 The Western woman

00:05:21.920 Think of this as

00:05:22.920 Like

00:05:23.920 I think it's an honourable thing

00:05:24.920 For your dad

00:05:25.920 To look out for you

00:05:26.920 Even if it's your dad

00:05:27.920 If I spoke to your dad today

00:05:28.920 And you brought

00:05:29.920 Arguments

00:05:30.920 If you went to your dad

00:05:31.920 And said I've got a boyfriend

00:05:32.920 He's not going to be like

00:05:33.920 Over the moon

00:05:34.920 He's going to be like

00:05:35.920 Who is he?

00:05:36.920 He would want to know

00:05:37.920 Because he cares about you

00:05:38.920 Oh, you don't owe me

00:05:40.920 He loves you

00:05:41.920 He has a damn right

00:05:43.920 To care for you

00:05:44.920 And know who the hell is this guy

00:05:45.920 And like

00:05:46.920 But surely so has my mother

00:05:47.920 No, no problem

00:05:48.920 I'm not saying your mother doesn't as well

00:05:49.920 I'm not saying your mother's out of the picture

00:05:51.920 It's all about the man giving away the woman

00:05:53.920 No, no, no, no, no

00:05:54.920 It's not the man giving away the woman

00:05:56.920 If you want to get married

00:05:57.920 Your dad has to be in the picture

00:05:59.920 This doesn't mean your mum's not in the picture

00:06:01.920 Your mum can be in the picture as well

00:06:02.920 The reason why it's the dad

00:06:03.920 Because the man knows the man

00:06:04.920 Number one

00:06:05.920 Number two

00:06:06.920 When it comes to you getting married

00:06:07.920 For example

00:06:08.920 You have a right to ask for a dowry

00:06:09.920 You know what a dowry is?

00:06:10.920 Okay

00:06:11.920 This can be anything

00:06:12.920 You can ask for a car

00:06:13.920 You can ask for gold

00:06:14.920 You can ask for money

00:06:15.920 Yeah?

00:06:16.920 And by the way

00:06:17.920 This doesn't make you a gold digger

00:06:18.920 Yes, you're right

00:06:19.920 Why is this the case?

00:06:20.920 Why is this the case?

00:06:21.920 Why is there money involved?

00:06:22.920 The wisdom might be

00:06:23.920 Is because

00:06:24.920 If a man

00:06:25.920 Has the wrong intentions

00:06:27.920 He might not mind

00:06:28.920 Talking to your dad

00:06:29.920 He might say

00:06:30.920 Yeah, I love you too

00:06:31.920 Blah, blah, blah

00:06:32.920 When money is involved

00:06:33.920 Yeah?

00:06:34.920 And when you come and say to you

00:06:35.920 Seven thousand pounds

00:06:36.920 With my dowry

00:06:37.920 And that is yours by the way

00:06:38.920 That is your security

00:06:39.920 Why?

00:06:40.920 Because today we have men

00:06:41.920 Who go and sleep

00:06:42.920 With, they call them deadbeat dads

00:06:44.920 Yeah?

00:06:45.920 Sleep around

00:06:46.920 And disappear

00:06:47.920 She's left in a financial crisis

00:06:49.920 She's got a child

00:06:50.920 That's coming on the way

00:06:51.920 And has no damn security

00:06:52.920 So this dowry

00:06:53.920 Is in place

00:06:54.920 To protect you

00:06:55.920 And secure you

00:06:56.920 That if he

00:06:57.920 Decides to

00:06:58.920 Go about the things

00:06:59.920 The wrong way

00:07:00.920 And even when you're pregnant

00:07:01.920 Allah says in the Quran

00:07:02.920 In Surah Nisa

00:07:03.920 That if you're pregnant

00:07:04.920 He

00:07:05.920 Let's suppose

00:07:06.920 You want to get a divorce

00:07:07.920 He has to keep you

00:07:08.920 In his house

00:07:09.920 Until you give birth

00:07:10.920 Until you suck with the child

00:07:11.920 Yeah?

00:07:12.920 And it's called

00:07:13.920 Milk money

00:07:14.920 If I'm not mistaken

00:07:15.920 He has to provide basically

00:07:16.920 He has to look after you

00:07:18.920 The western women today

00:07:19.920 Are emotionally

00:07:20.920 Have you read

00:07:21.920 Have you read a book called

00:07:22.920 Beauty Sick?

00:07:23.920 I recommend you to buy it

00:07:24.920 Yeah?

00:07:25.920 It talks about how women

00:07:26.920 Are made to feel ugly

00:07:27.920 And

00:07:28.920 Look a certain way

00:07:29.920 Not happy with their body

00:07:30.920 Not happy how they look

00:07:31.920 Can't leave the house without makeup

00:07:33.920 Spent two hours

00:07:34.920 And they added this

00:07:35.920 And it's just like

00:07:36.920 Two months in one whole year

00:07:38.920 Yeah?

00:07:39.920 The society is making you

00:07:40.920 Feel ugly

00:07:41.920 You have to look a certain way

00:07:42.920 You have to have a certain body

00:07:43.920 You have to meet these standards

00:07:44.920 For who?

00:07:45.920 For who?

00:07:46.920 For who?

00:07:47.920 Islam says

00:07:48.920 That

00:07:49.920 There are men out there

00:07:50.920 For example

00:07:51.920 Who might be after the wrong thing

00:07:52.920 They tell you to cover up

00:07:53.920 Yeah?

00:07:54.920 I believe

00:07:55.920 Women are being sexualized today

00:07:56.920 And people come and say

00:07:57.920 Hold on a second

00:07:58.920 Are you not sexualizing a woman

00:07:59.920 By covering her up?

00:08:00.920 Yeah?

00:08:01.920 When a man speaks to you

00:08:02.920 Even when I'm talking to you

00:08:03.920 Now sister

00:08:04.920 Allah tells me in the Quran

00:08:05.920 Tell the believing men

00:08:06.920 To lower their gaze

00:08:07.920 Now what does that mean?

00:08:08.920 That means

00:08:09.920 If I'm walking down the road

00:08:10.920 And I see a woman

00:08:11.920 Dressing appropriately

00:08:12.920 I should look away

00:08:13.920 Islam deals with sexual objectification

00:08:16.920 On a micro level to a macro level

00:08:18.920 Because it educates a man

00:08:20.920 To respect the woman

00:08:21.920 If I'm

00:08:22.920 The only reason I'm talking

00:08:23.920 But doesn't the Quran talk about

00:08:25.920 Sort of

00:08:26.920 Women have to need to cover up

00:08:27.920 As men

00:08:28.920 Like you know

00:08:29.920 You're causing temptation for the men

00:08:30.920 No

00:08:31.920 Because the men can't control their gaze

00:08:32.920 Not necessarily

00:08:33.920 You know why?

00:08:34.920 Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:08:35.920 Doesn't say in the Quran

00:08:36.920 Men

00:08:37.920 I mean no

00:08:38.920 Women cover up

00:08:39.920 Because men can't control their gaze

00:08:40.920 No

00:08:41.920 Because Allah says in the Quran

00:08:42.920 Before he tells the woman

00:08:43.920 He says

00:08:44.920 Tell the believing men

00:08:45.920 To lower their gaze

00:08:46.920 And then tell the believing women

00:08:48.920 To lower their gaze

00:08:49.920 So it starts off with a man

00:08:50.920 We both have to do our part

00:08:52.920 Men are visual creatures

00:08:53.920 That's why you have strip clubs

00:08:55.920 That's why you have

00:08:56.920 Certain magazines

00:08:57.920 And you do not

00:08:58.920 You don't see a woman

00:08:59.920 Go in and say

00:09:00.920 Let me buy a magazine

00:09:01.920 To look at a man's calves

00:09:02.920 It doesn't happen

00:09:03.920 Because the way we're creating

00:09:04.920 The way you're creating

00:09:05.920 Is totally different

00:09:06.920 It's culture

00:09:07.920 I believe that's how you've been

00:09:08.920 Brought up to believe

00:09:09.920 How?

00:09:10.920 No no no

00:09:11.920 This is man's biology

00:09:12.920 I think that's a nature thing

00:09:13.920 No no no

00:09:14.920 If it's a culture thing

00:09:15.920 Then why is it the same

00:09:16.920 Throughout every culture?

00:09:17.920 Yeah it is

00:09:18.920 There has to be a difference

00:09:19.920 For example

00:09:20.920 Catcalling

00:09:21.920 Yeah?

00:09:22.920 Catcalling

00:09:23.920 Be honest with me

00:09:24.920 Have you ever been catcalled?

00:09:25.920 Yeah

00:09:26.920 Okay

00:09:27.920 Why?

00:09:28.920 Because men can be pigs

00:09:30.920 Exactly

00:09:31.920 That's not our point

00:09:32.920 They can be pigs

00:09:33.920 But the point is this sister

00:09:34.920 The reason

00:09:35.920 Not only catcalled

00:09:36.920 I spoke to a girl

00:09:37.920 In the circus

00:09:38.920 And she was punched in the face

00:09:39.920 Because a guy wanted a number

00:09:40.920 And she didn't want to give it

00:09:41.920 The point I'm trying to make here is the following

00:09:43.920 There are pigs out there

00:09:45.920 They exist

00:09:46.920 So what Allah gives us is a

00:09:48.920 God Almighty gives us a

00:09:49.920 Way of life

00:09:50.920 That we can abide by

00:09:51.920 Now this

00:09:52.920 Like I said before

00:09:53.920 God doesn't say

00:09:54.920 Men can't control their self

00:09:55.920 So women cover up

00:09:57.920 This is nonsense

00:09:58.920 What God Almighty tells us to me

00:10:00.920 Is if a woman is in a bikini

00:10:02.920 If she's in a miniskirt

00:10:03.920 If she's wearing niqab

00:10:05.920 You know niqab

00:10:06.920 I have to lower my case

00:10:07.920 Not

00:10:08.920 If she is wearing a niqab

00:10:10.920 No

00:10:11.920 Period

00:10:12.920 I have to lower my case

00:10:13.920 So

00:10:14.920 The reason I'm

00:10:15.920 Obviously I'm talking to you

00:10:16.920 Because I'm having a discussion with you

00:10:17.920 Do you hear what I'm trying to say?

00:10:18.920 But I'm not going to be standing here

00:10:19.920 Just staring at you

00:10:20.920 Do you hear what I'm trying to say?

00:10:21.920 Why?

00:10:22.920 Because it shows us

00:10:23.920 This stuff

00:10:24.920 That Allah is telling us men

00:10:26.920 That you should respect women

00:10:28.920 They're not sexual objects

00:10:29.920 That's why

00:10:30.920 That's why

00:10:31.920 Why are the needs to cover them up David?

00:10:32.920 No no no

00:10:33.920 Because

00:10:34.920 Because sister

00:10:35.920 For example

00:10:36.920 If we're doing our part

00:10:37.920 We expect you to do your part

00:10:38.920 How?

00:10:39.920 For example

00:10:40.920 I'm lowering my case

00:10:41.920 I'm not going to look at you

00:10:42.920 I don't care how you're dressed

00:10:43.920 But

00:10:44.920 This doesn't mean

00:10:45.920 That you're going to be rolling around

00:10:46.920 In a miniskirt

00:10:47.920 Etc

00:10:48.920 Because there are not many men

00:10:49.920 Like for example

00:10:50.920 Like myself

00:10:51.920 There are absolute idiots

00:10:52.920 For example

00:10:53.920 Try to touch you up

00:10:55.920 Isn't that kind of victim blaming

00:10:56.920 You're blaming the women

00:10:57.920 No no no no

00:10:58.920 I'm not victim blaming

00:10:59.920 The actions of men

00:11:00.920 That they can't control

00:11:01.920 No no no

00:11:02.920 Not really sister

00:11:03.920 What I said from the beginning

00:11:04.920 Is a Muslim man

00:11:05.920 Yeah?

00:11:06.920 Our job is to lower our case

00:11:07.920 But you need to understand

00:11:08.920 As Muslim man

00:11:09.920 Forget Muslim man

00:11:10.920 All men

00:11:11.920 Period

00:11:12.920 If a woman

00:11:13.920 Who dresses up in a certain way

00:11:14.920 I bet you any money

00:11:15.920 If you walk past here

00:11:16.920 She will grab the attention

00:11:17.920 Of a lot of men

00:11:18.920 Why?

00:11:19.920 The question is this

00:11:20.920 Just because one is attracted

00:11:22.920 Like it catches the attention

00:11:23.920 I'm not saying here

00:11:24.920 That she has a right to be raped

00:11:26.920 I've never said such a thing

00:11:27.920 Yeah?

00:11:28.920 Nobody deserves rape

00:11:29.920 There are women who wear the hijab

00:11:30.920 That get raped

00:11:31.920 The issue of rape

00:11:32.920 Has got nothing to do

00:11:33.920 With how you're dressed

00:11:34.920 What we're seeing is

00:11:35.920 If God almighty exists

00:11:36.920 And he's created me

00:11:37.920 He's told me to lower my gaze

00:11:38.920 I'm going to do my bit

00:11:39.920 If he tells a woman

00:11:40.920 To wear the hijab

00:11:41.920 It's because of God said it

00:11:43.920 I'm just giving you

00:11:44.920 Maybe the wisdoms

00:11:45.920 Behind why he might do it

00:11:46.920 The point here is this

00:11:47.920 If he exists

00:11:48.920 And he tells me

00:11:49.920 And he tells me

00:11:50.920 To climb a tree

00:11:51.920 And come back down

00:11:52.920 And do five press ups

00:11:53.920 I'm going to do that

00:11:54.920 Because he's deserving of worship

00:11:56.920 And he's created me

00:11:57.920 So the argument goes back to

00:11:58.920 Who is telling us what to do?

00:12:00.920 Your mum and dad

00:12:01.920 They brought you to this age

00:12:02.920 If your mum and dad said to you

00:12:03.920 Darling

00:12:04.920 I want you to take Saturday and Sunday off

00:12:06.920 Don't go out with your friends

00:12:07.920 Come and stand here

00:12:08.920 Sit here and massage my feet

00:12:10.920 I believe as a mum and dad

00:12:11.920 They deserve that

00:12:12.920 Period

00:12:13.920 Because of what they've done

00:12:14.920 Now let's compare that to God

00:12:16.920 So the argument here

00:12:17.920 The hijab

00:12:18.920 It might be

00:12:19.920 That yes

00:12:20.920 It might protect you against

00:12:21.920 Certain men

00:12:22.920 Who are vile

00:12:23.920 But that's not the only reason

00:12:25.920 I'm saying that might be the wisdom

00:12:26.920 Maybe maybe not

00:12:27.920 The actual reason is what?

00:12:29.920 Because God Almighty

00:12:30.920 Tells me to

00:12:31.920 And he's deserving of worship

00:12:32.920 That's the core thing here

00:12:34.920 You hear what I'm trying to say?

00:12:35.920 And a lot of times when girls are being talked to

00:12:39.920 Yeah?

00:12:40.920 A lot of times men talk somewhere else

00:12:41.920 They don't talk to them

00:12:42.920 Yeah?

00:12:43.920 So if you realise

00:12:44.920 When I refer to you as a sister

00:12:46.920 Yeah?

00:12:47.920 I try to have a decent conversation

00:12:49.920 Why?

00:12:50.920 Because as a woman

00:12:51.920 Why do you have to feel like

00:12:52.920 The only thing you have to offer

00:12:53.920 Is your body parts?

00:12:54.920 You are a human being

00:12:55.920 You have so much more to offer humanity

00:12:57.920 Why does it reduce it to a level of just beauty?

00:13:01.920 That's the reason why I read that book Beauty Sid

00:13:03.920 Because it shows you a pandemic of millions

00:13:05.920 Billions of women around the world

00:13:07.920 They feel insecure

00:13:08.920 They feel ugly

00:13:09.920 They feel fat

00:13:10.920 They don't want to come out

00:13:11.920 There was a woman who read that

00:13:12.920 I'm a man

00:13:13.920 And I felt so bad

00:13:14.920 She goes

00:13:15.920 I felt so ugly

00:13:16.920 That I would go and sleep with men

00:13:20.920 That is

00:13:21.920 You're taking a woman

00:13:22.920 Who can offer this to the society

00:13:23.920 And you're dropping it all the way here

00:13:25.920 Because she's made you feel ugly

00:13:26.920 And she thinks

00:13:27.920 No man wants me

00:13:28.920 So I'm going to have to sleep with them

00:13:30.920 To feel some worth

00:13:31.920 That is disgusting to me

00:13:33.920 Why has she been made to feel to such a level

00:13:35.920 That she feels sleeping with men

00:13:38.920 Because she feels ugly

00:13:39.920 And nobody would want them

00:13:40.920 That's the whole societal problem

00:13:41.920 No

00:13:42.920 But how do we deal with that sister Bethany

00:13:44.920 My question is this

00:13:45.920 We have real problems

00:13:47.920 And we need practical solutions

00:13:49.920 How do we deal with that?

00:13:50.920 I go down

00:13:51.920 I'm driving down the A406

00:13:52.920 And I see a banner

00:13:54.920 And what's the banner?

00:13:55.920 It's for steel

00:13:56.920 You know steel company?

00:13:57.920 Steel

00:13:58.920 There's a woman with a cherry in her mouth

00:14:00.920 And I'm thinking

00:14:01.920 What the flipping hell

00:14:02.920 Has a blonde woman

00:14:03.920 Got to do with a steel company?

00:14:04.920 I don't understand the correlation

00:14:07.920 It's ridiculous

00:14:08.920 But the point is this

00:14:09.920 A chocolate bar

00:14:10.920 Or a car

00:14:11.920 Because the marketing companies understand

00:14:14.920 That men

00:14:15.920 It grabs their attention

00:14:17.920 Like we know

00:14:18.920 A car has nothing to do with a woman

00:14:20.920 But we'll stick a half naked girl there

00:14:22.920 Because they're going to stare at it

00:14:23.920 And maybe they'll just look at the car

00:14:24.920 And say

00:14:25.920 Let me get that car

00:14:26.920 The point is this

00:14:27.920 Women

00:14:28.920 Women have been sexualised

00:14:30.920 To such a level

00:14:31.920 That they have no rights

00:14:32.920 And this is a pandemic

00:14:33.920 We're talking about

00:14:34.920 Millions

00:14:35.920 Or billions of women

00:14:36.920 In the western world

00:14:37.920 And in the Muslim

00:14:38.920 Don't get it twisted

00:14:39.920 There are Muslim women who fall for this

00:14:40.920 Where they object

00:14:41.920 They beautify themselves

00:14:42.920 The whole point of hijab

00:14:43.920 Is not to beautify yourself

00:14:44.920 It's the total opposite

00:14:45.920 So I'm telling you

00:14:46.920 It's a pandemic

00:14:47.920 And we need to deal with that

00:14:48.920 Because there are women

00:14:49.920 Who are feeling insecure

00:14:51.920 Mental health is on the rise

00:14:52.920 How do we deal with this?

00:14:54.920 I believe we deal with it

00:14:55.920 By honouring women

00:14:56.920 By teaching them

00:14:58.920 Their self-worth

00:14:59.920 Yeah?

00:15:00.920 And this is where I believe

00:15:01.920 Islam gives a practical solution

00:15:03.920 Not objectifying you

00:15:04.920 Keeping you rights

00:15:05.920 1400 years ago

00:15:06.920 Sister

00:15:07.920 Do a bit of research

00:15:08.920 The right to choose who you want to marry

00:15:11.920 The right to not adopt

00:15:12.920 Take your husband's surname

00:15:13.920 The right to own property

00:15:15.920 The right to divorce

00:15:16.920 The right to work

00:15:17.920 Yeah?

00:15:18.920 There's so many elements

00:15:19.920 Even in the Quran

00:15:21.920 There's a verse called

00:15:22.920 Surah Mujadila

00:15:23.920 Yeah?

00:15:24.920 And some people come and say

00:15:25.920 Islam says

00:15:26.920 When I go home

00:15:27.920 I have a big stick

00:15:28.920 And I beat my wife with it

00:15:29.920 Whatever

00:15:30.920 In this verse

00:15:31.920 God Almighty is rebuking a man

00:15:33.920 This is what he said to his wife

00:15:35.920 He said to his wife to follow

00:15:36.920 He didn't hit her

00:15:37.920 By the way

00:15:38.920 Hitting your wife is not permissible

00:15:39.920 Yeah?

00:15:40.920 He said to her

00:15:41.920 You are like the back of my mother

00:15:43.920 Now in those days

00:15:44.920 That basically meant

00:15:45.920 I have no desire towards you

00:15:47.920 Now basically you are just arguing

00:15:48.920 Yeah?

00:15:49.920 That's a very helpful thing to say

00:15:51.920 Now

00:15:52.920 This woman goes to the prophet Muhammad

00:15:54.920 And complains

00:15:55.920 And says my husband

00:15:56.920 Called me this

00:15:57.920 And I am hurt

00:15:58.920 Now the prophet Muhammad

00:15:59.920 He doesn't talk of himself

00:16:00.920 He talks for revelation

00:16:01.920 So the prophet Muhammad said

00:16:03.920 Look what he said is wrong

00:16:04.920 But forgive him

00:16:05.920 Be patient

00:16:06.920 As she is walking out

00:16:07.920 Revelation comes down

00:16:08.920 We believe that yeah?

00:16:09.920 And in the revelation

00:16:10.920 Look at the punishment for him

00:16:11.920 Allah

00:16:12.920 Subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran

00:16:14.920 If I am not mistaken

00:16:15.920 He says that he needs to

00:16:16.920 Fast for

00:16:18.920 Two consecutive months

00:16:19.920 You know in Ramadan

00:16:20.920 We fast for 30 days

00:16:21.920 Yeah?

00:16:22.920 So he needs to fast

00:16:23.920 Two consecutive months

00:16:24.920 And Ramadan

00:16:25.920 That's 90 days of fasting

00:16:26.920 So the woman says

00:16:28.920 Look my husband is old

00:16:29.920 If he fast he is going to die

00:16:31.920 He can't fast

00:16:32.920 He said okay

00:16:33.920 He needs to free a slave

00:16:34.920 Back in those days

00:16:35.920 That slave

00:16:36.920 It was kind of a property

00:16:37.920 So

00:16:38.920 He said

00:16:39.920 He has to free a slave

00:16:40.920 He said look

00:16:41.920 He doesn't have slaves

00:16:42.920 He said okay

00:16:43.920 Then he needs to feed

00:16:45.920 I think 60 people

00:16:47.920 Yeah?

00:16:48.920 He said

00:16:49.920 He doesn't have a penny

00:16:50.920 Yeah?

00:16:51.920 The point is the following here

00:16:52.920 All the man did

00:16:53.920 Was insult his wife

00:16:55.920 And Allah

00:16:56.920 God Almighty

00:16:57.920 Imagine

00:16:58.920 The one who created the heavens

00:16:59.920 And the earth

00:17:00.920 Cares about a woman's feelings

00:17:01.920 And sends the revelation down

00:17:03.920 What I am just saying sister

00:17:04.920 Is there might be things

00:17:05.920 That you heard about Islam

00:17:06.920 But look into it properly

00:17:07.920 Because then you will understand

00:17:09.920 In every five people

00:17:10.920 That come to Islam

00:17:11.920 Free a woman

00:17:12.920 Do you know

00:17:13.920 Majority of people

00:17:14.920 That come to Islam

00:17:15.920 Are females

00:17:16.920 Do you know that?

00:17:17.920 Majority of them

00:17:18.920 There is a woman called

00:17:19.920 Lauren Booth

00:17:20.920 Have you heard of her?

00:17:21.920 You know Tony Blair

00:17:22.920 Tony Blair's

00:17:23.920 Wife's sister

00:17:24.920 Her name is Lauren Booth

00:17:25.920 She actually works with our organisation

00:17:27.920 She was a British woman

00:17:28.920 Same lifestyle

00:17:29.920 Etc

00:17:30.920 Now

00:17:31.920 If you search to try her name

00:17:32.920 Lauren Booth

00:17:33.920 You can see her story

00:17:34.920 How she came to Islam

00:17:35.920 Yeah?

00:17:36.920 There are many women

00:17:37.920 Why?

00:17:38.920 Because women who live

00:17:39.920 For example this lifestyle

00:17:40.920 In the western world

00:17:41.920 They realise

00:17:42.920 They realise

00:17:43.920 How rubbish they are treated

00:17:44.920 Yeah?

00:17:45.920 And I am not saying

00:17:46.920 In general

00:17:47.920 I am not saying

00:17:48.920 There are really good men

00:17:49.920 Who are non-Muslim men

00:17:50.920 All non-Muslim men are bad

00:17:52.920 The point I am trying to make

00:17:53.920 Is that

00:17:54.920 They realise

00:17:55.920 The lifestyle that they live

00:17:56.920 Doesn't give them

00:17:57.920 That fulfilment

00:17:58.920 You can have all the money

00:17:59.920 Everything in the world

00:18:00.920 But you will have a void in your heart

00:18:02.920 Because that void

00:18:03.920 Which Allah tells us in the Quran

00:18:04.920 Is what?

00:18:05.920 Only in the remembrance of God

00:18:07.920 Do your hearts find peace

00:18:08.920 What that means is

00:18:09.920 There is nothing on this earth

00:18:11.920 That's going to make you happy

00:18:12.920 When you have that connection with God

00:18:14.920 Trust me

00:18:15.920 They can take everything from you

00:18:16.920 They can take everything from you

00:18:17.920 They can take your money

00:18:18.920 Your car, everything

00:18:19.920 Once you have that connection

00:18:20.920 You know your purpose

00:18:21.920 You know why you are here

00:18:22.920 You know where you are going

00:18:23.920 That is something

00:18:24.920 An inner peace

00:18:25.920 That no one can buy

00:18:26.920 And I have tasted that with Islam

00:18:28.920 Now that's subject

00:18:29.920 That's my experience

00:18:30.920 I am not saying

00:18:31.920 That's an argument for Islam

00:18:33.920 What I am just saying is

00:18:34.920 Is that

00:18:35.920 Give Islam a chance

00:18:36.920 Yeah?

00:18:37.920 You got nothing to lose

00:18:38.920 Have you got a Quran?

00:18:39.920 Have you read a Quran before?

00:18:40.920 Can I give you one as a gift?

00:18:41.920 It's this big?

00:18:42.920 It's this big?

00:18:44.920 No?

00:18:45.920 Okay that's totally up to you

00:18:46.920 I would recommend you

00:18:47.920 Read the Quran

00:18:48.920 Look into it

00:18:49.920 And see for yourself

00:18:50.920 You know

00:18:51.920 And if you do

00:18:52.920 Like I said before

00:18:53.920 I did show some evidences

00:18:54.920 To God's almighty existence

00:18:55.920 Pray to him

00:18:56.920 I prayed to him

00:18:57.920 Maybe 12 years ago

00:18:59.920 I said if you are there

00:19:00.920 Guide me

00:19:01.920 Wherever is the way

00:19:02.920 That's a relationship

00:19:03.920 That's between you and God

00:19:04.920 So I would say

00:19:05.920 You know give it a chance

00:19:06.920 You got nothing to lose

00:19:07.920 And see what happens

00:19:08.920 Thank you very much sister Bethany

00:19:09.920 Look after yourself

00:19:10.920 Thank you very much

00:19:11.920 Stay safe
