00:00:00.000 You're not well.
00:00:00.960 Why don't we talk about it?
00:00:04.100 With your misogyny, with your violence.
00:00:05.980 What violence?
00:00:07.100 What violence?
00:00:08.880 You can't leave Islam.
00:00:11.520 And you...
00:00:12.980 The Quran and you and the climate.
00:00:14.100 What happened to Edward Snowden?
00:00:16.040 What happened to Edward Snowden?
00:00:16.940 Excuse me, I'm speaking.
00:00:19.040 Oh, sorry, Master.
00:00:20.280 I'm sorry, Master.
00:00:21.300 I'm listening to you.
00:00:22.220 Sorry, Master.
00:00:22.840 You're the ones who are actually exercising modern day slavery.
00:00:25.780 Please, please.
00:00:28.720 As-salamu alaykum.
00:00:29.640 I really want to thank Waqq forever for partnering with Abdullah Eid
00:00:33.180 in this absolutely amazing, very, very important project
00:00:37.720 of providing prosthetic limbs to those thousands who've lost their limbs in Ghazza.
00:00:43.580 They are telling us that this is the best gift you could have given us.
00:00:47.080 Restoring the mobility is like restoring their lives.
00:00:50.640 That's what they're saying.
00:00:51.660 So subhanallah, people have lost both limbs.
00:00:54.160 People have lost hands and legs.
00:00:56.780 Some above the knee, some below the knee.
00:00:59.840 Mashallah.
00:01:00.260 This is just one example.
00:01:01.780 Al-Ism al-Kareem, Habibi.
00:01:03.280 Ashraf Ahmed.
00:01:04.640 Ashraf Ahmed.
00:01:05.620 Mashallah.
00:01:06.000 He's one of the so many whom we've been able to assist with your partnership.
00:01:10.380 So may Allah reward you and grant you goodness.
00:01:13.080 And may Allah Almighty continue to use all of us to do this good work.
00:01:17.700 Jazakum allahu khairan.
00:01:18.880 In a sexual manner
00:01:29.240 So Islam has taught me to treat women as a human being
00:01:33.060 Not as a sexual object
00:01:34.420 So the western world has done the opposite with the pornography
00:01:36.640 With having chocolate bars and a half naked woman
00:01:40.020 I don't know what the chocolate bar has got to do with the woman
00:01:41.560 So because sex sells
00:01:43.300 They have used that and they've dehumanized women
00:01:46.160 And that's come at the cost of their mental well-being
00:01:48.580 In effected
00:01:49.340 So I think in Islam they find liberty
00:01:51.700 They find freedom
00:01:52.740 True freedom
00:01:53.840 And I think that's why we have a lot of women who accept Islam
00:01:57.220 And I think that's the main factor as well
00:01:59.000 And there's books written on it
00:02:00.120 On this matter
00:02:01.040 There's a book called Beauty Sick
00:02:02.800 So it talks about the sickness of beauty among young girls specifically
00:02:05.960 You know, starving themselves to have the perfect body
00:02:08.720 And what is the perfect body?
00:02:09.960 My daughter's 19
00:02:10.940 She's very skinny
00:02:12.340 Yeah, exactly
00:02:13.300 She thinks she's fat
00:02:14.100 Well, exactly
00:02:14.880 Do you see those pressures?
00:02:16.860 Because in the book it was telling me
00:02:18.760 I was reading it
00:02:19.620 She's a non-Muslim woman
00:02:21.540 She was talking about how girls are
00:02:23.400 They have so much pressure on them
00:02:24.760 They were saying
00:02:25.460 I wish I did not have to think about how I look
00:02:26.960 So I can spend more quality time with my friends
00:02:28.800 And my family
00:02:29.740 And just be yourself
00:02:30.820 Just be yourself
00:02:31.360 But you can't
00:02:32.020 Because you've got so many standards
00:02:33.100 You've got your friends
00:02:33.660 You've got peer pressure
00:02:34.300 So what the hijab does
00:02:35.720 The hijab is a symbol
00:02:37.800 To distinguish obviously
00:02:38.960 That okay, that's a Muslim woman
00:02:39.860 But also at the same time
00:02:41.360 When I'm speaking to an individual
00:02:43.900 I'm speaking to them
00:02:44.820 Rather than speaking to something else
00:02:46.320 And as men
00:02:47.400 We are
00:02:48.060 You know
00:02:49.180 Not distracted by
00:02:50.440 Yes, that's how we're created
00:02:54.740 So as men
00:02:55.680 We have that innate desire
00:02:57.020 Towards a woman
00:02:57.980 So what God Almighty does
00:02:59.340 That's why he tells us
00:03:00.180 Tell the believing men
00:03:01.000 To lower your gaze
00:03:01.820 So first it teaches men
00:03:03.240 How to behave towards women
00:03:05.360 So there is no like
00:03:06.460 Oh, men can't control themselves
00:03:08.060 So you have to cover up
00:03:08.940 That's a big misconception
00:03:10.360 That's not true
00:03:11.260 In Islam
00:03:11.920 A man is told
00:03:12.820 On a micro level
00:03:13.740 To a macro level
00:03:14.400 How to behave
00:03:15.220 And how to treat
00:03:16.440 The opposite gender
00:03:17.160 And then the woman does her job
00:03:19.080 So they work simultaneously
00:03:20.500 You know
00:03:21.220 Because at the end of the day
00:03:21.940 You know
00:03:22.260 It's not just a matter of like
00:03:23.740 People come and say
00:03:24.340 Oh, is it to protect me from rape?
00:03:25.600 No
00:03:25.760 Because women in hijab get raped
00:03:27.360 So that's not the factor
00:03:28.840 Even though like for example
00:03:31.000 It goes back to like
00:03:32.260 Catcalling
00:03:32.900 Being sexually harassed
00:03:34.740 90% of women in the western world
00:03:36.460 Have either been sexually harassed
00:03:37.500 Or been catcalled
00:03:38.200 So they can't walk in peace
00:03:39.620 So and not only that
00:03:41.240 As a man
00:03:42.300 As a man myself
00:03:43.480 I came to Islam
00:03:45.440 12, 13 years ago
00:03:46.620 So before that
00:03:47.620 I was not Muslim
00:03:48.180 Even though I look Muslim
00:03:49.260 So I used to come
00:03:51.000 And club and party
00:03:51.640 In this very strip
00:03:52.360 Every weekend
00:03:53.040 It was pointless
00:03:54.100 It was boring
00:03:55.000 It was the same old thing
00:03:55.800 You know
00:03:56.820 And I realised
00:03:57.980 You know
00:03:58.360 Men tend to
00:04:00.140 Fall in love the wrong way
00:04:01.560 As men
00:04:02.420 We can fall in love the wrong way
00:04:03.380 And I wouldn't call it love
00:04:04.360 I would call it lust
00:04:05.060 But what happens is
00:04:06.400 When a woman is dressed
00:04:07.280 In an inappropriate way
00:04:08.080 Obviously a man is
00:04:09.100 He has those desires
00:04:10.680 To be with her
00:04:11.380 So then he gives her false promises
00:04:12.780 He's not serious with her
00:04:14.160 So what the hijab
00:04:15.040 Is the hijab says
00:04:15.760 Okay you know
00:04:16.240 Cover your adornment
00:04:17.040 Your beauty
00:04:17.500 And the man should
00:04:18.640 Obviously lower his gaze
00:04:20.360 If the woman does his job
00:04:21.500 And then if I'm interested
00:04:23.020 I go back the right way
00:04:25.100 Like for example
00:04:25.620 When I met my wife
00:04:26.340 I had to speak to her father
00:04:27.260 We don't believe in dating
00:04:28.880 We don't believe in
00:04:29.660 Because we believe
00:04:30.620 Men can take advantage of that
00:04:31.640 You know
00:04:32.220 I can just abuse a woman
00:04:33.480 And give her promises
00:04:34.200 And not only that
00:04:34.920 You have a daughter
00:04:35.340 How old is she?
00:04:36.320 19
00:04:36.840 She's 19
00:04:37.460 I mean
00:04:38.060 She said
00:04:39.120 Oh I have a boyfriend
00:04:39.780 I mean
00:04:40.760 You would be a bit
00:04:41.940 Concerned about
00:04:42.660 Okay who is he?
00:04:43.900 Because she's a girl
00:04:45.220 What's his name?
00:04:46.060 What's his name?
00:04:46.720 Yes
00:04:46.940 I want to meet him
00:04:47.880 What's he doing for work?
00:04:48.980 Exactly
00:04:49.340 And the reason why
00:04:50.160 You have that concern
00:04:50.800 Is because you're a mother
00:04:51.680 And your husband
00:04:53.020 Would be far more
00:04:54.240 Concerned
00:04:56.100 Because he's a man
00:04:56.640 So in Islam
00:04:58.040 Islam says
00:04:58.560 There is no dating
00:04:59.280 Outside of marriage
00:05:00.840 This doesn't mean
00:05:02.000 You can't get to know
00:05:02.560 One another
00:05:02.920 You can
00:05:03.580 It's done with a chaperone
00:05:04.640 Okay
00:05:05.440 Yeah so like for example
00:05:06.360 When I was getting to know
00:05:06.940 My wife for marriage
00:05:07.660 Her sister
00:05:08.600 Her dad would either
00:05:09.760 Allow her sister
00:05:10.400 Or her brother
00:05:11.120 To be there
00:05:11.640 So if we're going
00:05:12.920 To a restaurant
00:05:13.420 It's not going to sit
00:05:14.060 On the same table
00:05:14.680 It'll just be there
00:05:15.620 If we're walking
00:05:16.200 It's just a bit behind us
00:05:17.300 And the reason being
00:05:18.360 Is because Islam deals
00:05:19.220 With the reality
00:05:20.360 It's pragmatic
00:05:21.240 It deals with the reality
00:05:22.140 Of the world
00:05:22.460 It doesn't live in
00:05:23.140 La La Land
00:05:23.700 Islam is incompatible
00:05:26.280 With Western
00:05:27.260 Christian democracy
00:05:28.480 Christian
00:05:29.320 You really
00:05:30.160 This Quran
00:05:31.180 You're not wealthy
00:05:32.240 Why don't we
00:05:33.900 Why don't we talk about it
00:05:35.420 And with your misogyny
00:05:36.440 With your violence
00:05:37.280 What violence
00:05:38.200 What violence
00:05:40.100 You can't leave
00:05:41.420 Islam
00:05:42.500 And you
00:05:43.200 The Quran
00:05:45.240 And you
00:05:46.040 What happened to
00:05:46.520 Edward Snowden
00:05:47.140 What happened to Edward Snowden
00:05:48.240 Excuse me
00:05:48.640 I'm speaking
00:05:49.700 Oh sorry master
00:05:51.480 I'm sorry master
00:05:52.180 I'm listening
00:05:53.320 You're sorry master
00:05:54.040 You're the ones
00:05:54.700 Who are actually exercising
00:05:56.080 Modern day slavery
00:05:57.160 Not me
00:05:58.480 My friend
00:05:58.800 You're an ignorant person
00:05:59.500 Come educate yourself
00:06:02.520 You abolish slavery
00:06:03.640 Excuse me
00:06:04.020 There you go
00:06:04.840 Typical
00:06:05.200 Typical Islamist
00:06:06.380 You have to talk over
00:06:07.560 I won't talk
00:06:08.140 You talk
00:06:08.400 We abolish slavery
00:06:09.400 In this country
00:06:10.640 And in the world
00:06:11.900 You
00:06:12.620 You
00:06:13.380 Islamists
00:06:14.180 Because I lived in the Middle East
00:06:15.720 In Dubai
00:06:16.420 And Abu Dhabi
00:06:17.180 Wait wait wait
00:06:18.360 Where somewhere
00:06:18.700 You
00:06:19.080 Actually exercise
00:06:20.420 And still
00:06:21.320 Me
00:06:21.760 Employ modern day slavery
00:06:23.240 Me
00:06:23.520 You
00:06:23.880 You
00:06:23.900 You
00:06:23.920 You
00:06:23.940 Burn
00:06:24.300 And
00:06:24.640 You
00:06:24.860 Murder
00:06:25.440 Apostates
00:06:26.320 From
00:06:26.960 Islam
00:06:27.680 I think
00:06:27.940 You're watching too much horror movies
00:06:29.280 Oh there you go
00:06:29.900 See you go
00:06:30.280 I'm going to talk
00:06:31.580 I'm going to talk and walk off
00:06:33.280 As you can see
00:06:35.720 You can see the difference
00:06:36.800 Between somebody
00:06:37.500 Who wants
00:06:38.360 To learn
00:06:39.100 And then you've got someone
00:06:39.680 Who's ignorant
00:06:40.220 Look he's laughing his head off
00:06:41.720 Yeah of course he is
00:06:42.360 Of course he is
00:06:42.720 That's why I knew
00:06:43.340 He's not going to let me speak
00:06:43.980 He just wants to express himself
00:06:45.060 He's frustrated
00:06:45.940 And I don't blame him
00:06:47.340 He's watched too much horror movies
00:06:48.780 He's a bit confident
00:06:49.540 Having that much to say
00:06:50.980 While you're wearing those trousers
00:06:52.180 Exactly
00:06:52.660 So to me look
00:06:54.860 I don't have
00:06:55.680 Mind having a conversation
00:06:56.900 But I know
00:06:57.640 He just wanted to talk
00:06:58.560 And walk off
00:06:59.060 He just wanted to
00:06:59.920 Yeah yeah
00:07:00.500 Be abusive
00:07:01.380 Exactly exactly
00:07:02.180 And that's why
00:07:02.600 That's why there's lovely people like you
00:07:04.340 And that's why I don't judge people
00:07:05.520 You know he's talking about you
00:07:06.380 Because if
00:07:06.760 Because you
00:07:07.480 He doesn't know nothing about me
00:07:09.300 You know
00:07:09.860 But anyways
00:07:10.520 I'm Biden
00:07:10.900 Exactly
00:07:11.820 I'm Biden
00:07:12.420 And the fact that you were able
00:07:14.760 To take that
00:07:15.820 Yeah
00:07:16.200 And not allow it
00:07:18.040 To penetrate you
00:07:19.000 No no no
00:07:19.460 Because you know
00:07:20.120 We deal with
00:07:20.500 High five
00:07:21.200 Out of respect
00:07:21.840 We can't touch
00:07:22.280 All the gender
00:07:22.760 But we can do it
00:07:24.180 In the air
00:07:25.520 Yeah yeah
00:07:26.320 And I'll come to that as well
00:07:27.600 So the thing is
00:07:28.400 It's like
00:07:29.020 I don't mind having a dialogue
00:07:31.260 You can come here and say
00:07:32.300 You know what
00:07:32.740 I want to know
00:07:33.560 Why do this
00:07:34.520 Let's have a talk
00:07:35.360 Let's have a discussion
00:07:35.860 But you come here
00:07:36.740 You're evil
00:07:37.220 You're murderer
00:07:37.780 You're killer
00:07:38.280 Okay
00:07:38.780 That's sad
00:07:40.400 But anyways
00:07:40.800 That's exactly the sort of person
00:07:42.120 That your colleague
00:07:42.940 Was talking to me about
00:07:44.140 Really was he?
00:07:44.620 Okay I didn't even know
00:07:45.180 Okay yeah
00:07:45.820 Is the stigmatisation
00:07:48.160 Yeah yeah yeah
00:07:48.700 Stereotype
00:07:49.500 Yes yes
00:07:50.160 And the thing is
00:07:51.960 They don't even want to
00:07:52.580 Educate the ignorance
00:07:53.340 If he came and said
00:07:54.240 You know what
00:07:54.540 Look I've got some misconceptions
00:07:55.380 Do you guys do this and this?
00:07:57.340 Yeah yeah
00:07:57.580 Okay let's talk about it
00:07:58.380 Yeah
00:07:58.700 That's what you saw
00:07:59.440 Even when I wanted to speak
00:08:00.580 He had this inferiority complex
00:08:01.520 I'm the lower
00:08:02.180 He's the
00:08:02.660 And he's like a master
00:08:03.660 Something that I've always been
00:08:05.420 Very mindful of
00:08:06.700 Is that
00:08:07.580 When there is
00:08:09.080 An act of terrorism
00:08:10.660 Yeah
00:08:11.120 Who did it?
00:08:14.480 Yeah
00:08:14.660 Because
00:08:15.420 It's like your colleague
00:08:16.420 Was saying
00:08:16.980 That guy that drove
00:08:18.600 I think he was ex-Navy
00:08:20.420 Or something
00:08:20.920 The
00:08:21.340 Liverpool
00:08:23.180 Yes
00:08:24.220 He drove into the crowd
00:08:25.140 Oh yeah yeah yeah
00:08:25.840 He was a white man
00:08:27.300 Yeah they don't care
00:08:27.740 So what
00:08:28.160 That's alright then
00:08:29.360 Is it?
00:08:29.840 Exactly
00:08:30.280 So it's
00:08:30.840 The thing is
00:08:31.660 It's because the hatred
00:08:32.500 If that was a Muslim
00:08:33.440 Oh yeah
00:08:34.060 That would be an act of terrorism
00:08:36.780 And not only that
00:08:37.400 When that happened
00:08:38.260 The far right jumped on
00:08:39.560 And said
00:08:39.740 It's a Muslim
00:08:40.140 It's a Muslim
00:08:40.600 And the moment they find it
00:08:41.880 They're like
00:08:42.040 Oh it's one of ours
00:08:42.720 It's fine
00:08:43.080 He can run a sofa
00:08:43.780 Yeah yeah yeah
00:08:44.300 It's just
00:08:44.540 As long as the Muslim
00:08:45.220 Doesn't run a sofa
00:08:45.840 We're caught with our own
00:08:47.300 It's crazy
00:08:48.040 And
00:08:48.440 He doesn't like people getting hurt
00:08:51.360 No of course not
00:08:52.140 To us
00:08:52.620 There is a verse in the Quran
00:08:54.800 And the Quran only has this verse
00:08:56.720 It says
00:08:57.180 If you kill one soul
00:08:58.100 It says if you kill the whole of humanity
00:08:59.240 And if you save one soul
00:09:00.780 It's as if you save the whole of humanity
00:09:02.200 In Islam
00:09:02.900 Categorically
00:09:03.560 To kill innocent people
00:09:04.320 Is forbidden
00:09:04.840 That's why
00:09:05.700 When you look at what's happening in Israel
00:09:06.840 In their scripture
00:09:08.380 It actually tells them
00:09:09.200 That you can go and wipe out
00:09:10.280 Children and babies
00:09:10.980 And the judge
00:09:11.800 The way they justify that
00:09:13.880 Is by saying
00:09:14.340 Oh when these kids grow up
00:09:15.440 They're going to be terrorists
00:09:16.580 Or whatever for that matter
00:09:17.320 So in Islam
00:09:18.200 We don't believe they're our teachers
00:09:19.160 We are categorically told
00:09:20.140 That we are not allowed
00:09:20.700 To harm innocent people
00:09:21.400 Yes we have crazy Muslims
00:09:22.680 We have crazy Christians
00:09:23.420 We have crazy secularists
00:09:24.600 We have a crazy
00:09:25.400 You know
00:09:26.220 Crazy man
00:09:27.200 Crazy child
00:09:28.160 Exactly
00:09:28.900 So the thing is
00:09:30.000 It's about learning
00:09:31.600 And educating yourself
00:09:32.360 But yeah
00:09:32.960 Coming back to that
00:09:33.480 For example
00:09:33.940 We talked about
00:09:34.360 You said high five
00:09:35.060 The reason why
00:09:36.140 It's my wife
00:09:37.300 It's not that you're not a Muslim
00:09:38.860 For example
00:09:39.900 That's my friend
00:09:40.620 My wife is not allowed
00:09:42.060 To shake his hand
00:09:42.640 So it's not a Muslim
00:09:44.840 Non-Muslim
00:09:45.180 It's a female male issue
00:09:46.420 Why?
00:09:47.360 Because let me tell you why
00:09:48.100 Because at the end of the day
00:09:48.840 You know
00:09:49.040 Have you heard of the Me Too movement?
00:09:50.720 The Me Too movement
00:09:51.860 There was this hashtag
00:09:53.040 Me Too meaning
00:09:53.760 A woman coming out
00:09:54.800 But being sexually harassed
00:09:55.680 So there'll be a hashtag
00:09:56.620 Saying Me Too
00:09:57.140 I went through that as well
00:09:57.980 There was this big movement
00:09:58.600 About a couple of years ago
00:09:59.600 And it all stems from
00:10:01.340 Like for example
00:10:01.940 Even in the workplace
00:10:02.860 Sometimes in the workplace
00:10:03.940 They're talking about
00:10:04.740 What is comfortable
00:10:05.540 For example
00:10:06.280 When you're talking to
00:10:06.740 Your female work colleague
00:10:07.480 Can you touch her shoulder?
00:10:08.740 Can you put your hand on her knee?
00:10:10.160 Can you touch her back?
00:10:12.680 And what we say is in Islam
00:10:14.340 Prevention is better than cure
00:10:15.480 So we believe that
00:10:16.640 The opposite gender
00:10:17.700 Me towards a female
00:10:18.700 Or a female towards a man
00:10:19.780 Vice versa
00:10:20.380 We have
00:10:21.280 We respect each other's space
00:10:22.780 In the sense where
00:10:23.580 Even you might think
00:10:24.640 It's just a handshake
00:10:25.420 We believe that
00:10:26.720 The way we are told
00:10:28.260 That for example
00:10:29.260 We keep those barriers
00:10:30.560 Clean
00:10:31.280 Why?
00:10:31.740 Because what happens is
00:10:32.620 Things start off very slowly
00:10:34.940 It can be a simple work colleague
00:10:36.520 You know
00:10:37.120 Just putting his hand on your shoulder
00:10:38.580 You might not feel comfortable
00:10:39.800 So what Islam does
00:10:40.620 Is Islam says
00:10:41.200 Instead of going into messy areas
00:10:42.560 And it gets really messy
00:10:43.960 Meek messages
00:10:45.080 Temptations
00:10:46.040 Temptations
00:10:46.740 Yes
00:10:46.900 So what Islam says is
00:10:47.580 Prevention is better than cure
00:10:49.000 Not let me drink one glass of wine
00:10:52.140 And then become an alcoholic
00:10:53.560 Or like gambling
00:10:55.360 Like a casino
00:10:55.820 It destroys so many people's lives
00:10:57.480 So what Islam does
00:10:58.580 Islam says
00:10:58.920 Prevention is better than cure
00:10:59.740 Don't even go there
00:11:00.680 Because it's going to destroy your life
00:11:01.960 And that's what we see in the western world
00:11:02.980 So many men
00:11:03.580 Addicted to pornography
00:11:05.040 Alcohol
00:11:06.120 Gambling
00:11:06.720 And this destroys people's lives
00:11:07.780 You know
00:11:08.400 I know family members
00:11:09.180 Gambling has destroyed their life
00:11:10.760 So what Islam does
00:11:11.720 Is it says
00:11:12.060 In every area
00:11:12.920 Be it
00:11:13.320 Intimate
00:11:14.060 Like sexual
00:11:14.820 Gambling
00:11:15.780 You protect yourself
00:11:17.100 And you have to
00:11:17.800 Protect the rights of others as well
00:11:19.220 So we respect that
00:11:20.280 Because for someone
00:11:21.200 They might say
00:11:22.120 Okay I don't mind the handshake
00:11:23.100 But I wouldn't prefer someone touching my
00:11:24.300 So we say
00:11:24.920 You know
00:11:25.120 Why don't we just deal with it
00:11:25.900 From the get go
00:11:26.360 And say
00:11:26.580 Nobody touches no one
00:11:27.480 And we have a nice
00:11:28.240 Civilized dialogue
00:11:28.860 And then
00:11:29.460 And the society
00:11:30.080 Is a whole
00:11:30.480 Will be protected
00:11:31.020 Because that's one of the aims of Islam
00:11:32.760 Is to protect the communal rights
00:11:34.260 So we don't believe in an individual
00:11:35.880 Saying
00:11:36.180 I want to drink alcohol
00:11:37.420 We say
00:11:37.680 Look
00:11:37.840 You wanted to drink alcohol
00:11:38.960 Could harm society
00:11:40.080 You might be drunk
00:11:41.020 Drink driving
00:11:41.620 And kill free innocent people on the road
00:11:43.040 That's why you're not allowed to drink alcohol
00:11:44.880 And nobody is
00:11:46.080 And not only that
00:11:46.520 The biggest disease
00:11:47.600 The biggest killer
00:11:48.600 Is heart disease
00:11:49.160 Liver disease for example
00:11:50.980 And it's all stemmed toward alcohol
00:11:52.500 So what it does
00:11:53.420 Is it harms your body
00:11:54.300 It harms your consciousness
00:11:57.100 Because you do
00:11:58.220 Oh I was drunk
00:11:58.980 That's no excuse
00:11:59.580 Oh I killed someone
00:12:00.480 But I was drunk
00:12:00.960 I'm so sorry my friend
00:12:02.000 There is no excuse
00:12:02.620 So Islam has come to protect us
00:12:04.520 Our mind
00:12:05.700 Our body
00:12:06.420 Our soul
00:12:07.060 The rights of others
00:12:08.320 So what Islam does
00:12:09.160 Is it says
00:12:09.500 Listen
00:12:09.720 We have these boundaries
00:12:10.720 To protect others
00:12:11.840 And protect ourselves
00:12:12.380 Because
00:12:12.720 When we were talking about
00:12:13.680 How you're dressed
00:12:14.660 Heartache is painful
00:12:16.580 You know
00:12:17.480 If someone's been in a relationship
00:12:18.920 Heartache is quite painful
00:12:19.780 So what Islam does
00:12:20.600 Islam says
00:12:21.100 A woman
00:12:22.240 Should be protected
00:12:23.380 And a man's heart
00:12:24.000 Should be protected
00:12:24.540 So if a woman
00:12:25.720 Is dressed up in a certain manner
00:12:26.800 The man might want to be with her
00:12:28.580 For the wrong reasons
00:12:29.280 He's not in love with her
00:12:30.340 He's there for one thing
00:12:31.240 It's not her personality
00:12:32.200 Is it because you haven't spoken to her
00:12:33.680 Exactly
00:12:34.240 Exactly
00:12:34.840 You know you heard about
00:12:35.380 One night stand
00:12:36.100 And stuff like that
00:12:36.500 It's like a total stranger
00:12:37.360 And you don't even know
00:12:38.680 That person could be a killer
00:12:39.760 And not only that
00:12:40.560 Your daughter's 19 years old
00:12:41.480 She can't defend herself
00:12:42.220 As a grown man
00:12:42.800 So Islam says
00:12:43.700 No we protect her in that instance
00:12:45.400 And say hold on a second
00:12:46.380 Her father is her guardian
00:12:47.440 So if I am interested
00:12:48.980 I have to speak for the father
00:12:50.180 Because a man knows a man
00:12:51.340 It becomes
00:12:52.020 Hold on a second
00:12:52.600 You're not going to have to deal with me
00:12:53.780 If you mistreat my daughter
00:12:54.660 So what Islam does
00:12:55.880 Islam has these boundaries in place
00:12:57.460 And says
00:12:58.100 Her heart has to be protected
00:12:59.380 Her father is a guardian
00:13:00.880 And as a man
00:13:02.100 I'll be
00:13:02.360 Honest
00:13:03.080 If I'm going to mess around with a girl
00:13:04.160 The last person I'm going to speak to
00:13:05.280 Is her father
00:13:05.700 Yeah exactly
00:13:06.320 Or a brother
00:13:07.120 Yeah yeah
00:13:07.840 Or a brother
00:13:08.320 You know
00:13:08.540 He's looking strong
00:13:09.820 He's going to maybe beat me up
00:13:11.320 What's your name?
00:13:12.940 Bailey
00:13:13.300 Bailey
00:13:14.020 Bailey
00:13:14.380 Nice meeting you
00:13:14.920 Yeah I can shake your hand
00:13:15.760 Your mum's jealous now
00:13:17.780 So the argument is that
00:13:20.340 Islam has come
00:13:20.960 For us to have a relationship
00:13:21.940 With God Almighty
00:13:22.480 We believe he's one
00:13:23.720 We don't believe he's a man
00:13:24.780 Or a woman
00:13:25.160 And we believe that
00:13:26.320 If we follow his guidance
00:13:27.360 We will have contentment
00:13:29.720 And peace in this life
00:13:30.560 And then in the hereafter
00:13:32.020 We believe that
00:13:32.520 We've come here for a reason
00:13:33.440 We live
00:13:34.220 We have a purpose
00:13:34.980 Because everything
00:13:35.680 You can look around you
00:13:36.500 What's your name by the way?
00:13:37.340 Lacey
00:13:37.700 Lacey
00:13:38.060 So Lacey
00:13:39.180 Everything you look around you
00:13:40.220 Has a purpose
00:13:40.820 There is not one thing
00:13:41.940 You can show me
00:13:42.500 On this
00:13:43.440 Space
00:13:44.660 That doesn't have a purpose
00:13:45.640 From your earrings
00:13:46.540 To your clothes
00:13:47.520 To your trainers
00:13:48.340 To these books
00:13:49.100 To this table
00:13:49.600 Everything has a purpose
00:13:50.620 You as a human being
00:13:52.000 Are more complex
00:13:52.820 Your eye is more complex
00:13:54.380 In design
00:13:54.740 You're telling me
00:13:55.720 That everything has a purpose
00:13:57.120 And everything here
00:13:57.960 Has a designer
00:13:58.500 But you have no designer
00:13:59.440 Of course you do
00:14:00.300 You have a creator
00:14:01.100 That created you
00:14:01.760 And he wants a relationship
00:14:02.760 With you
00:14:03.140 And his relationship with you
00:14:04.040 Is acknowledge
00:14:04.920 That I've created you
00:14:06.340 Your heart beats
00:14:07.460 Do you tell your heart to beat
00:14:08.380 Hey listen
00:14:08.700 Don't stop beating
00:14:09.480 I want to wake up tomorrow
00:14:10.720 No
00:14:10.900 Your heart beats
00:14:11.680 When you go to sleep
00:14:12.440 Do you tell yourself
00:14:12.940 Hey don't stop breathing
00:14:13.940 I might die
00:14:14.840 These are things
00:14:15.600 That God Almighty has created
00:14:16.540 You're a whole machine
00:14:17.400 You know
00:14:17.960 And what God Almighty is saying
00:14:18.960 Is have a relationship with me
00:14:19.760 Because he's the one
00:14:20.280 That provides for you
00:14:21.160 When you drink water today
00:14:22.340 Water didn't come out of nowhere
00:14:23.700 Do you get it?
00:14:24.540 The food that you eat
00:14:25.320 The fact that the sun
00:14:26.220 Is a perfect distance
00:14:26.960 From our planet
00:14:27.500 That we can
00:14:28.040 You know
00:14:28.780 It was hot today
00:14:29.920 I'm not going to lie
00:14:30.340 I came out
00:14:31.060 I came out to go for a jog
00:14:32.180 Yeah
00:14:32.380 Bro it's 30 degrees
00:14:33.420 Yeah
00:14:34.080 It was really hot
00:14:35.540 So the sun is a perfect distance
00:14:37.480 That if it was any closer
00:14:38.240 We'll burn
00:14:38.620 If it was any further
00:14:39.660 We'll freeze
00:14:40.200 So those things
00:14:41.660 If you think about it
00:14:42.280 The planet Earth
00:14:42.760 Is actually serving us
00:14:43.560 So we say
00:14:44.360 God Almighty created us
00:14:45.400 And even like
00:14:46.080 You know
00:14:46.260 I cut myself
00:14:47.000 A long time ago
00:14:48.180 What tells my organisms
00:14:49.920 In my body to say
00:14:50.700 He's bleeding
00:14:51.500 Blood clot
00:14:52.460 Stop
00:14:52.740 Heal
00:14:53.100 Who's telling
00:14:54.100 Like I don't tell my
00:14:54.860 Like I had a scar here
00:14:55.700 I think
00:14:56.040 Can you still see it?
00:14:56.940 Yeah
00:14:57.100 I had a scar here
00:14:58.200 What tells my body
00:14:59.540 And the white cells in my body
00:15:00.580 To say
00:15:00.840 He's bleeding
00:15:01.400 When you have a heart
00:15:02.660 Is like a specific hormone
00:15:03.400 Is releasing your body
00:15:04.120 It's like
00:15:05.100 Who's telling these
00:15:06.240 Beings inside me
00:15:07.580 That are microscopic
00:15:08.300 To help me survive
00:15:09.720 We believe the one
00:15:10.820 That created us
00:15:11.400 And we're saying
00:15:12.140 Let's have a relationship
00:15:12.860 With him
00:15:13.200 Like Bailey
00:15:14.560 Bailey
00:15:15.400 You're his mother
00:15:16.580 Yeah
00:15:17.080 He should be grateful to you
00:15:18.700 He should be respectful to you
00:15:19.920 This is another issue
00:15:20.960 That we have in the western world
00:15:22.340 I'm hearing this
00:15:23.600 Yeah Bailey
00:15:24.140 I'm on your case Bailey
00:15:25.760 To us in Islam
00:15:28.120 It's a major sin
00:15:29.380 To be the serene
00:15:30.300 To your mom and father
00:15:31.200 Allah in the Quran
00:15:32.520 Says don't even say
00:15:33.260 Off to your mom
00:15:34.060 Like you know
00:15:34.680 When your mom comes
00:15:35.080 And says take the bin out
00:15:35.660 Oh mom
00:15:36.280 Yeah yeah
00:15:37.100 But these are things
00:15:37.620 We try to
00:15:38.200 We all have that short comment
00:15:40.000 Do you get what I'm trying to tell you
00:15:40.520 But Islam deals with the rights
00:15:41.960 Of mother and father
00:15:43.440 Greatly
00:15:44.380 That's why the Prophet Muhammad
00:15:45.320 A man came to him
00:15:46.400 And he asked him
00:15:46.760 He said
00:15:46.920 Who has more rights
00:15:47.840 My mother or my father
00:15:48.660 He says your mother
00:15:49.560 He says who next
00:15:50.520 He said then your mother
00:15:51.160 He said who next
00:15:51.940 He said then your mother
00:15:52.560 He said who next
00:15:53.440 He said then your father
00:15:54.100 Why because
00:15:55.200 We acknowledge that
00:15:56.460 You looked after him
00:15:57.460 When he was in your womb
00:15:58.100 You gave birth to him
00:15:59.400 Now imagine he grows up
00:16:00.920 Which he is
00:16:01.440 The young man
00:16:01.900 How old is he?
00:16:02.240 16?
00:16:03.820 Huh?
00:16:04.740 Wow you look
00:16:05.300 I told you
00:16:06.120 So 13 years old
00:16:07.420 Imagine he grows up
00:16:08.980 And says
00:16:09.320 Mom you've done nothing for me
00:16:10.440 I'm gonna go and thank David
00:16:11.380 Over there
00:16:11.700 Yeah yeah yeah
00:16:12.380 It's that relationship
00:16:13.380 So God Almighty says
00:16:14.200 I'm the one that sustains
00:16:15.120 And looks after you
00:16:15.820 Have that relation
00:16:16.640 Be gratitude
00:16:17.100 Be grateful to me
00:16:17.980 You know
00:16:18.780 You've done everything for him
00:16:19.780 The last thing you want for him
00:16:20.840 Is to turn his back on you
00:16:22.040 And say I don't know you
00:16:23.780 So we just need to have that relationship
00:16:25.640 But anyways
00:16:26.440 I don't want to go on a lecture
00:16:27.380 But if there's any questions you have
