00:00:00.000 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:00:04.000 I'm so happy to be able to talk to you today.
00:00:07.000 And Mashallah, my brother, our Shaykh Ali Hamouda is doing a great job.
00:00:12.000 Waqf forever is a very, very beautiful cause 1.00
00:00:17.000 because the reward of what you give is not just at the moment of giving,
00:00:25.000 but rather it is prolonged for a very, very long time.
00:00:29.000 And it lasts for as long as that Waqf continues to generate, 1.00
00:00:34.000 to generate some form of benefit.
00:00:37.000 So I highly recommend Waqf forever. 1.00
00:00:40.000 As an ambassador of Abdullah Aid,
00:00:42.000 I know the partnership that we have is amazing.
00:00:46.000 And not many people understand the concept of Waqf,
00:00:50.000 yet the reward is far greater through the Waqf.
00:00:54.000 So Inshallah, if you can support Waqf forever, 0.99
00:00:57.000 it will be really, really amazing and very, very rewarding.
00:01:02.000 So some people think that the women wear the hijab because men are animals. 0.71
00:01:09.000 That's not correct.
00:01:10.000 Because God doesn't tell him, because we as men, Allah tells us in the Quran,
00:01:14.000 tell Muslim men, I'm Muslim. 0.76
00:01:16.000 I came to Islam 13 years ago.
00:01:18.000 So God tells me to not look at women in a bad way.
00:01:22.000 Why?
00:01:23.000 Because it's not woman's fault. 1.00
00:01:25.000 You can't blame a woman. 0.98
00:01:26.000 You can't say men are animals.
00:01:27.000 We don't believe in this our religion.
00:01:29.000 We believe men and women have to do their part.
00:01:31.000 So as a man, if I am walking and I see somebody dressed in a miniskirt,
00:01:35.000 or she wears niqab, I don't look. 0.79
00:01:37.000 It doesn't matter how she's dressed.
00:01:39.000 So because why?
00:01:40.000 In today's time, a lot of women are sexually objectified in the West. 1.00
00:01:44.000 For example, you have an advertisement about a chocolate,
00:01:47.000 and there's a naked woman. 1.00
00:01:48.000 What's a woman got to do with the chocolate? 1.00
00:01:50.000 So because Islam has come to say no, a woman is a human being. 0.96
00:01:53.000 You as a human, like you woman, you have more to offer than your body parts. 1.00
00:01:58.000 That's why Islam is very against the sexual objectification of women. 0.99
00:02:01.000 You know, and Islam has come the symbol, the hijab is a symbol to show that she's a Muslim woman.
00:02:07.000 And of course, there's an element, for example, because we as men, we are visual creatures.
00:02:12.000 Yeah, because as men, we fall for what we see.
00:02:14.000 With you guys, you fall for what you hear.
00:02:16.000 You're more emotional if a man comes and says, oh, you're beautiful.
00:02:18.000 You're like, okay, he maybe loves me.
00:02:20.000 But so what the hijab does is it protects you to an extent against men who have the wrong intentions.
00:02:27.000 That's why in Islam, we don't believe. 1.00
00:02:29.000 What's your name?
00:02:30.000 Nina.
00:02:31.000 Yula.
00:02:32.000 Yula.
00:02:33.000 Yula.
00:02:34.000 Nice name.
00:02:35.000 Are they Dutch names?
00:02:36.000 Yes.
00:02:37.000 That's good.
00:02:38.000 My name is Ali.
00:02:39.000 So in Islam, that's why we don't believe in dating outside of marriage.
00:02:40.000 Because dating outside of marriage, what feminism has done, it tells you the sexual liberation. 1.00
00:02:44.000 That means go do, sleep around wherever you want.
00:02:46.000 But what that does is it really harms a woman. 1.00
00:02:48.000 Because the way God has created you, you are very delicate.
00:02:51.000 Yes.
00:02:52.000 And you can be vulnerable as well.
00:02:53.000 So when a man takes advantage of that.
00:02:55.000 So if a man is interested in you, he's like, okay, I'm going to tell her what she wants to hear.
00:02:59.000 I love you.
00:03:00.000 You're the one.
00:03:01.000 Blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:02.000 And you feel, okay, you know what?
00:03:03.000 Yeah, maybe he loves me.
00:03:04.000 But can it be that he wants you for the wrong intentions?
00:03:07.000 It can.
00:03:08.000 Good.
00:03:09.000 Because Islam protects you.
00:03:10.000 Number one, what it does is it says that, for example, if I'm interested in a woman, I have to speak to a father.
00:03:16.000 Oh, yeah.
00:03:17.000 Why?
00:03:18.000 Because your dad is a man.
00:03:19.000 And a man knows a man.
00:03:20.000 So when he sees me and he meets me, he can look at me and think, okay, so what's he about?
00:03:24.000 Number two, if I'm getting to know you for marriage, and I know your dad is in the picture, I'm a little bit scared now.
00:03:30.000 Because I know if I treat you wrong, I have to deal with him.
00:03:34.000 Number two.
00:03:35.000 So that's number one, your father or your brother.
00:03:37.000 Yeah.
00:03:38.000 Number two is something called a dowry. 0.99
00:03:40.000 You know what a dowry is? 0.59
00:03:41.000 So it's a gift that's given.
00:03:42.000 So for example, in Islam, a woman in Islam has a right of dowry.
00:03:45.000 For example, the man that wants to marry you, you can say to him, I want you to buy me a car.
00:03:50.000 That's my dowry.
00:03:51.000 Or it's up to you.
00:03:52.000 You can say, I want a ring.
00:03:53.000 I want 5,000 euros.
00:03:55.000 I want you taking me on holiday.
00:03:57.000 That is your right.
00:03:59.000 So yeah, yeah.
00:04:00.000 A lot of people don't know that.
00:04:01.000 You know why?
00:04:02.000 Because it protects you against, you know, deadbeat men.
00:04:05.000 Yes.
00:04:06.000 Okay, good.
00:04:07.000 Because these men who just want to go and sleep around.
00:04:08.000 Islam says no, you have to meet the father. 0.64
00:04:10.000 Number two, give dowry. 1.00
00:04:11.000 Because if a man has bad intentions.
00:04:13.000 To see if it's worth it.
00:04:15.000 Yes.
00:04:16.000 Not only that.
00:04:17.000 Why would I pay 5,000 euros?
00:04:18.000 If I want something else, I can go somewhere else.
00:04:20.000 Do you hear what I'm trying to say?
00:04:21.000 So what that does is, it protects you.
00:04:23.000 Because we believe in Islam, you are the price. 1.00
00:04:26.000 Do you get it?
00:04:27.000 Yes.
00:04:28.000 We don't believe in this red pill.
00:04:29.000 That man is the price.
00:04:30.000 No.
00:04:31.000 In Islam, the woman is the price. 1.00
00:04:32.000 That's why he has to speak to your father.
00:04:33.000 He has to give you a dowry. 0.96
00:04:34.000 Then, he has to do a wedding.
00:04:35.000 So what's the wedding for?
00:04:37.000 So it's not secret.
00:04:38.000 Everybody knows, this man married Nina.
00:04:41.000 Nina and whoever this person is, they are married.
00:04:43.000 The community know.
00:04:44.000 So he can't do dogy stuff.
00:04:46.000 And lastly, sister Nina, is that when he married, as a Muslim man, the man has to pay for everything. 0.99
00:04:51.000 There is no 50-50.
00:04:52.000 We don't believe in this egalitarian, like, because you have to be looked after.
00:04:56.000 If you become pregnant, you're vulnerable.
00:04:58.000 So your husband has to take care of you. 1.00
00:04:59.000 Electric, gas, bill, insurance.
00:05:01.000 He has to pay for everything.
00:05:02.000 Even if you are a millionaire, he doesn't need to pay one penny.
00:05:07.000 You don't need to pay one penny.
00:05:08.000 Unless you choose to.
00:05:09.000 If you say, you know what, I feel sorry for him.
00:05:11.000 Let me give him some money.
00:05:12.000 But your money is your money.
00:05:14.000 However, the man also has authority.
00:05:16.000 We believe in hierarchy.
00:05:18.000 So we believe the man is the leader of the house.
00:05:20.000 He gives direction.
00:05:21.000 Why?
00:05:22.000 Because women are a bit more emotional. 1.00
00:05:23.000 That's natural.
00:05:24.000 That's how you're created.
00:05:25.000 We're a bit more logical.
00:05:26.000 Because of that, the man is the leader of the house.
00:05:28.000 And you have trust in your husband.
00:05:29.000 You know.
00:05:30.000 And you know that he does the right decisions.
00:05:32.000 But Islam has made this to protect society. 1.00
00:05:34.000 And to protect your heart against heartache.
00:05:36.000 Because when you go into a relationship.
00:05:38.000 You fall in love with a man.
00:05:40.000 He treats you wrong.
00:05:41.000 And then you're left for heartbreak.
00:05:43.000 So Islam puts these things in place. 0.97
00:05:45.000 So it protects you.
00:05:46.000 And it also protects him as well.
00:05:48.000 Oh, okay.
00:05:49.000 I didn't know that.
00:05:50.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:05:51.000 That's what I was explaining.
00:05:52.000 Because a lot of people, they don't know.
00:05:53.000 Like, oh, Islam oppresses women. 1.00
00:05:54.000 Islam gave the right to a woman.
00:05:56.000 1400 years ago.
00:05:57.000 The right to work.
00:05:59.000 The right to own property.
00:06:00.000 The right to.
00:06:01.000 Like, you know.
00:06:02.000 Like, for example.
00:06:03.000 Let's say my wife.
00:06:04.000 My wife does not need to take my surname.
00:06:06.000 No.
00:06:07.000 But you do.
00:06:08.000 Like, you take your husband's surname.
00:06:09.000 In Islam, no. 0.99
00:06:10.000 No?
00:06:11.000 Yeah, no.
00:06:12.000 You're not allowed to.
00:06:13.000 Because she's not my property. 1.00
00:06:14.000 Oh.
00:06:15.000 She does not take my surname.
00:06:16.000 I have to pay for everything.
00:06:17.000 She has a right to work. 0.96
00:06:18.000 She has a right to study.
00:06:19.000 All of these rights are given to her.
00:06:21.000 Long before feminism was given. 1.00
00:06:22.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:23.000 A lot of people don't know this.
00:06:24.000 They don't know that.
00:06:25.000 Exactly.
00:06:26.000 A lot of people don't know.
00:06:27.000 Oh, yeah.
00:06:28.000 Any questions for me?
00:06:29.000 Nina and...
00:06:30.000 Eula.
00:06:31.000 Eula.
00:06:32.000 Eula.
00:06:33.000 Eula.
00:06:34.000 What does that mean?
00:06:35.000 Is there a meaning to it?
00:06:36.000 Eula and Nina.
00:06:37.000 Now that I know her.
00:06:38.000 No problem.
00:06:39.000 Any questions for me?
00:06:40.000 Anything you didn't know?
00:06:41.000 Eula.
00:06:42.000 No, we don't.

00:06:44.000 It was really nice talking to you guys.
00:06:45.000 Yes.
00:06:46.000 Can I give you guys a free Quran or...
00:06:47.000 Oh, yes.
00:06:48.000 It's okay.
00:06:49.000 Would you like one?
00:06:50.000 Yeah.
00:06:51.000 Sure.
00:06:52.000 Eula.
00:06:53.000 Are you guys sisters or friends?
00:06:54.000 Nieces.
00:06:55.000 Nieces.
00:06:56.000 Fantastic.
00:06:57.000 Okay.
00:06:58.000 I'll give you one.
00:06:59.000 Thank you.
00:07:00.000 Thank you very much.
00:07:01.000 Thank you so much.
00:07:02.000 Is this...
00:07:03.000 Grandfather.
00:07:04.000 No, no.
00:07:05.000 This is your brother.
00:07:06.000 He's a young man.
00:07:07.000 Yes.
00:07:08.000 Yes.
00:07:09.000 Of course.
00:07:10.000 No, you look younger than me.
00:07:11.000 20.
00:07:12.000 By 25, by 25.
00:07:13.000 No, yeah.
00:07:14.000 You handsome man.
00:07:15.000 Fantastic.
00:07:16.000 Look after yourself.
00:07:17.000 Thank you.
00:07:18.000 Look after grandfather.
00:07:19.000 Sorry.
00:07:20.000 In Islam, looking after grandparents and mother and father is very important.
00:07:23.000 So look after them well.
00:07:25.000 Yeah.
00:07:26.000 Come on.
00:07:27.000 Fantastic.
00:07:28.000 Fantastic.
00:07:29.000 Lovely family there.
00:07:30.000 Lovely family there.
00:07:31.000 Alhamdulillah.
