belong to him now i came across this video in this video brother mufti menk is knitting and there's
00:01:17.640
another brother who's reacting to him knitting and he seems a little bit agitated i know we're going to
00:01:22.160
be discussing this but um it's to talk about a bigger problem as men how we should conduct
00:01:29.520
ourselves and how should we act in society as a whole let's get straight into this video inshaAllah
00:01:34.080
and we're going to be going to check inshaAllah oh hi there hijab is that something you would like
00:01:38.200
to say to the audience don't forget to like share and subscribe otherwise you're going to be finished
00:01:44.060
that's correct so i'm just teaching my children how to knit i learned to knit when i was six years old
00:01:49.800
and i remember the moves in round out and off in round out and off now my kids are learning
00:01:59.320
i just got them a set of knitting needles and some huge wool and we said let's go for it mashallah
00:02:05.160
you know minky and zinji can have a little blanket or two and inshaAllah we can also spend our time a
00:02:10.600
little bit constructively so that's that's round uh what can i say
00:02:19.960
if he would have said shoes or his knitting is he's fixing his clothes like the hadith of
00:02:25.400
the prophet and he's teaching his kids like that to follow that so no also yes he would fix his shoes
00:02:31.720
or but knitting oh my gosh now the brother looks really really frustrated and i genuinely believe
00:02:39.960
he is really frustrated nothing i don't believe he's putting an act on and i don't want this video
00:02:43.880
to be an attack towards him so guys we're not here yeah he's a brother in islam we want to understand him
00:02:48.440
yeah now the thing is he seems very frustrated now knitting the clothes i mean or your um shoes or whatever
00:02:55.800
maybe that the process done i don't see how that's far off by knitting i genuinely do not see it it's
00:03:01.000
it's it's very there they like come from the same family yeah so i think that's really need to need
00:03:05.720
to understand because it's not a big difference now yes he can come and say the knitting is something
00:03:10.680
that women do uh which we're going to come to later but let's carry on because i'm just trying to really
00:03:15.000
understand him here i'm trying to teach people how to box how to run how to take care of them let me have
00:03:22.920
it this is masculinity this is sunnah to knit okay guys go ahead and knit go ahead and knit
00:03:30.760
if you would have done the shoes or your clothes as per the hadith the process of superman all right
00:03:37.400
why why do we not ride the horse or shoot the arrow or go for swimming go for a run or some of the
00:03:44.280
things that are in the sunnah of manhood the prophet seems described as coming on a horse with no saddle
00:03:48.760
with a sword around his neck i'm using a little knitting thing is that is that uh
00:03:57.720
now i want to touch upon some things yeah i know mufti men i know him kind of personally to a level
00:04:04.600
i know his son i speak to his son regularly i'm not doing this video and allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is my
00:04:09.480
witness yeah before somebody's watching be like yeah you know you're a mufti men's fan
00:04:12.440
my loyalty was allah and his messenger yeah and the muslimin of course but i'm not doing this video
00:04:17.800
to suck up the mufti men or anything wallahi if mufti men oppress somebody i would try to advise
00:04:21.960
him in private and if he carries on i will advise him in public wallahi i have got no loyalty to
00:04:26.760
anybody i don't care how famous he is how many likes he has well i don't care i do not care
00:04:32.200
but we have to be just i understand the brothers frustration men are not men today they're boys
00:04:37.720
like hijab says boy boy boy you guys are boys this goes with all of us men have lost their manhood
00:04:44.360
that's a reality feminists have added to that they've been one of the reasons etc women are not
00:04:51.000
women today men are not mentally i understand that however to pick on somebody because you see the
00:04:56.520
action of knitting and you make a connection with that of an elderly woman who might be knitting you
00:05:01.800
know a little woman knitting with a few cats etc is wrong man you're talking about brother that
00:05:07.080
boxing etc look we cannot the prophet said strong is not the man who can wrestle somebody else
00:05:13.960
but is the one who can control his anger yeah so if you go to somebody and you're trying to you know
00:05:19.960
start a fight etc we cannot judge based on just oh what am i seeing you know what you see that guy he
00:05:25.160
was keep pushing that guy around or wherever it may be and that brother you can't say that guy's a wimp
00:05:29.880
we can't say that guy's a coward yeah unless he's been physically attacked somebody imagine insulting
00:05:33.800
him and he's just like laughing yeah it doesn't mean he's weak at all because he might have the
00:05:38.040
power to knock that guy spark out so just the way we cannot judge someone based on that we cannot
00:05:42.840
judge someone like imagine seeing like a big guy mike tyson doing knitting yeah we're not going to say
00:05:48.440
he's not a man or he's no no no we cannot judge manhood by how harsh you are towards your wife shut
00:05:54.680
up yeah i'm gonna punt this is toxic masculinity yeah to make it seem as if you need to have this
00:06:03.400
this this persona this the way you have to behave in world life is not manly there's even times where
00:06:08.360
the same umar a man came to complain about his wife and he heard umar being pulled by the beard
00:06:13.560
the beard something by the beard pulled by his wife yeah what we're going to say oh this is your
00:06:19.000
what we're going to say yeah oh we're going to say oh how's your wife doing this to you
00:06:25.720
brothers we cannot judge things by a parent yeah we can't just be like yes there is sometimes we can
00:06:30.920
but we can't judge someone and let me tell you something i know mufti meng and his son you're
00:06:35.000
talking about horse riding here's a picture here's a video you can see on my left on my right
00:06:40.200
mufti meng horse riding this is his son his son is horse riding yeah not only that you talked about
00:06:46.760
throwing arrows let's take it another level what about shooting yeah shooting like hunting or
00:06:52.360
target shooting yeah which is nothing wrong however you need to understand brother that when these
00:06:57.960
things the mufti meng as a muslim doing this he might get in trouble some things i know that i can't
00:07:02.840
tell you well like if you knew you would say if this is not a man i don't know that there's not men he
00:07:06.280
in one instance he even fulfilled the sunnah of the slaughter in 63 uh bulls mufti meng 63 bulls
00:07:11.960
there was a sunnah of the prophet yeah obviously he's not going to come and share that it's graphic
00:07:16.280
it's graphic hey guys look and obviously it was done in the islamic way yeah so the thing is this
00:07:21.400
we need to understand and put things in the perspective yeah so the thing that you talk about
00:07:24.920
horse riding he does he even trains his own sons to do it yeah and i'm going to tell you why he was
00:07:29.880
doing the knitting thing we're going to come to that very soon yeah and not only that he teaches his
00:07:33.560
sons to do a lot of things that men men do yeah for example even women can do as well yeah shooting
00:07:39.800
yeah target shooting hunting hunting yeah there are some pictures alhamdulillah the brothers go hunting i'm not
00:07:44.680
going to share it here but anyways let's carry on because i believe that's a misjudgment and that
00:07:48.920
is not fair but let's carry on i want to ask the women do you want your husband to do that i want
00:07:53.640
to ask the men do you want you and your boys to do that our sheikhs are teaching us to knit
00:08:00.200
okay what's the objective of this video i'll tell you what my object okay okay now if i said mohammed hijab
00:08:07.400
zeeshan musa started now we came together and said let's have a knitting thing no i would say it's
00:08:12.920
not something that we would do yeah it's not something we would do so that's why we need to
00:08:16.520
put things into context yeah he was saying what was the purpose of this video now this is where
00:08:21.800
you need to ask this question you could have got in contact with him privately and say mufti you know
00:08:26.280
there's this whole feminine thing you know this super radical feminist and you know men are not like
00:08:31.320
men today some men sadly yeah they are under the form of their wife yeah and allah has told us that
00:08:37.160
men are the protectors and maintainers okay this doesn't mean you become like a ragout to your wife
00:08:41.560
etc no me doing certain things in the house does not make me a woman yeah so however you're asking
00:08:47.560
why mufti meng has eight daughters eight eight eight yeah he said that he's been knitting since
00:08:53.400
age of six if we look at the history there's two links i'm going to put the description box yeah
00:08:57.320
the history knitting was actually a man's thing yeah in the couple of hundred years ago like in
00:09:02.680
history yeah if you can read those two links and you know okay this is this one of the links yeah it
00:09:07.480
says when you purchase when you picture someone knitting i'll bet that your first thought is an
00:09:11.160
old lady sat absent mindedly in her armchair with a cup of tea maybe a cat or two terrible cliche i know
00:09:18.920
but i'll bet for a bunch of you reading this that's that's that's what you pictured am i right
00:09:24.040
is he wrong well what if i to tell you that the history of knitting is pretty much the complete
00:09:28.040
opposite the current day idea of knitting being a female focused craft are actually a pretty modern
00:09:32.680
development mostly thanks to the changing roles of women throughout the two world wars in fact
00:09:37.480
knitting was one sort of an exclusive gentleman's occupation involving rigorous testing and
00:09:41.720
scrutinization with cut folk competition and cold business running through its core pretty
00:09:46.280
different that old lady pictured hey so these are social constructs okay so we need to understand that
00:09:52.440
that is the reason why he's teaching his daughters he said mufti said to me went out with his
00:09:55.720
daughters etc to teach them that is the context mufti didn't come and say hey guys brothers
00:10:00.440
leave off what you're doing forget everything let's knit together and let's just do this all the time
00:10:05.880
that's wrong that is wrong we cannot and let me tell you something there's a hadith of the
00:10:10.440
prophet that supports this the prophet said that it is allah curses the person who dresses up like a
00:10:16.200
woman and a woman that dresses up like a man if mufti man was standing there and put hijab on himself or
00:10:22.040
makeup and it was moving like a woman etc i will understand your frustration for and i am against
00:10:27.480
it there's some brothers who do it you know um i'm not gonna give names etc wearing their wife's hijab
00:10:31.720
and put makeup i'm totally against it i'm so sorry i don't i don't think there's any reason to do that
00:10:35.880
it is really wrong and there's a hadith that says that allah curses that person yeah okay so the thing is
00:10:42.680
now the prophet said about the clothing if you dress up like a woman yeah but he never said or someone that
00:10:50.840
acts like a woman moves like a woman yeah however or vice versa however he did not say
00:10:56.760
the one who does the job of a woman there is no hadith in the quran or the sunnah that says
00:11:02.520
the one as far as i know please educate me as far as i know there is nothing that says for the man
00:11:08.120
who does the job of a woman is cursed or for the woman who does the job of a man is cursed there's
00:11:13.240
no such thing because there was a female companions who went to war what we're going to say that's a
00:11:17.800
man's thing what you're doing there are you imitating the man no so when it comes to issue
00:11:21.480
of i can say for example ironing uh washing the dishes changing the baby's nappies and all this
00:11:27.560
kind of stuff i'm not going to say now that's a female thing to do there's not everything from the
00:11:31.400
quran or the sunnah yeah there is no to say that if a man does that he becomes a woman or he's weak
00:11:37.240
i don't agree with that you came trying to see with this social construct to come and say you do this
00:11:41.960
this is actually no there is nothing in the prophetic tradition that says to you that doing something this
00:11:47.720
specific action belongs to the woman only one can do others that is not the case i'm so sorry
00:11:53.080
we have to bring evidence to that so somebody knitting or doing whatever it may be you're
00:11:57.800
washing ironing changing the baby's nappy or whatever you can't come and say that is a female action
00:12:04.440
you can't say that let's carry on this for my video is to refute this kind of this kind of thing
00:12:11.480
because this is just not manly orange string to knit in and out and this and that
00:12:22.040
the woman don't do this man you don't see the sisters doing this where are the sheikhahs
00:12:27.720
the sister speakers well hold on a second again you're mentioning orange color it goes back to a
00:12:34.040
social construct it's like saying pink pink is feminine you can't see but i believe it's a social
00:12:40.360
construct orange so what if it's orange so okay would you look more manly if it was a black one
00:12:44.200
dark one really black color come on brother let's be fair here let's be fair what was last time you
00:12:50.040
done some horse riding we're wondering why we're having low testosterone my clients are coming to me
00:12:55.240
talking about my husband doesn't want to sleep with me women are complaining my husband doesn't have
00:13:00.200
enough strength as a man and people say i'm sick la ilaha illallah islam started something strange
00:13:11.400
and return is something strange so give glad tidings to the strangers okay this this statement
00:13:16.600
here brother may allah bless you i genuinely i know i understand your frustration i'm with you
00:13:21.480
but but you're genuinely what you've done is you've took a problem that we have in the umma we need to
00:13:26.280
fix and you've picked on somebody innocent someone innocent and you're taking it all out on it that's
00:13:31.240
not fair and now you're quoting about the process said that islamic came as something strange and it
00:13:35.480
will remain as something strange so glad tidings to the strangers what like this is a misuse we have
00:13:39.560
the super isis supporters who use this against people who actually follow the sunnah yeah these guys you
00:13:45.160
know we're the strangers etc to get mufti men knitting and put it down as anyone that anyone that doesn't
00:13:51.400
say that's feminine or you or anyone that calls you extreme yeah that all of a sudden you become
00:13:57.240
this um you know this this person who is on the hakba they're not because of that this is a misuse of
00:14:02.360
hadith we can't apply this hadith somewhere and you can't get this hadith and be like okay this applies
00:14:06.440
to this person or that person that's wrong piss off man i'm working every day almost putting
00:14:13.640
talking about muslim alpha men's society pushing them to become leaders again their wives are complaining
00:14:19.480
they're not mad enough okay let me say okay women is this sexy for you is this attractive to you
00:14:26.360
some man is going to knit some orange uh thread but today i have eight sessions i'm i can you know
00:14:33.640
mostly marriage issues and i can guarantee you that at least out of those eight five will be related to
00:14:38.040
intimacy and the women are saying my husband doesn't have the libido the strength why because he's knitting
00:14:46.360
man okay here this brother okay not only i would say backbiting but it's you're literally insulting
00:14:53.160
his integrity you're literally insulting integrity i'm not saying you're doing it on purpose yeah but
00:14:58.200
your frustration has made you say something while i i genuinely believe i don't know you brother while
00:15:02.520
you might be someone i don't know you yeah genuinely this is this is this is very very crossing lines
00:15:08.040
did you question and a man's integrity and you're basically saying in a nutshell that imagine i'm doing
00:15:14.440
knitting and then you say the statement you're basically telling me that i can't satisfy my wife
00:15:18.520
because my wife will be complaining saying look he's too busy knitting and he's like a wimp yeah
00:15:21.960
and he can't even sexually uh please me this is what you're trying to insinuate okay i'm not seeing
00:15:26.840
you intentionally doing it but that is very very hurtful and wallahi it's something that you should
00:15:31.880
ask for forgiveness of the other person because what you're saying there it's so disturbing yeah and
00:15:37.080
let me tell you something we heard this i speak to shaheifim he has a marriage council yeah i speak to him
00:15:41.400
most men are not pleasing their wives sexually you know why because they're too busy watching
00:15:46.440
pornography they are too busy not lowering their gaze and looking at other girls that's why they
00:15:50.360
can't even get excuse me if there's kids watching this please don't watch now yeah okay there are men
00:15:55.640
who can't even get an erection you know why because they're too busy getting turned on by watching
00:16:01.400
pornography where it's fake everything is fake they're getting this most very attractive woman with
00:16:06.280
a body's uh implants god knows whatever that looks like the perfect woman special effects
00:16:12.280
coloring you name it and they're giving you a fake reality of what intimacy is and when this guy sees
00:16:17.800
his wife well of course he's not going to get an erection so for us to get and make it seem as if
00:16:24.040
people who are knitting or men etc and this is the reason no that's not the issue and you know what
00:16:28.760
we've got a bit of a cure for this yeah okay okay so guys my sponsor one of my sponsors nature's blend okay
00:16:33.880
this is called shilajit or whatever it's called yeah as far as i know yeah brothers if you've got
00:16:39.320
some sexual issue going on etc whatever it may be you need that extra boost turbo yeah whatever it may
00:16:43.480
be there's no shine in the religion when it comes to intimacy check this out because i heard it's a
00:16:47.400
matting yeah as you can see guys i haven't uh opened it yet um yeah i don't need it but yeah he's being
00:16:54.680
taught by chefs to knit and to be a baby as opposed to real men so of course you're gonna have low libido
00:17:00.840
of course you're not going to be able to please your wife oh brother can you talking with yeah
00:17:03.960
because that's what the issues are man again this is wrong yeah now there are some studies i'll speak
00:17:08.120
to mohammed hijab there are studies that show that when a woman when a man they did study where they
00:17:11.960
got a teacher a female teacher and a boxer and they got them to change roles yeah and the boxer became
00:17:16.600
a teacher or something along those lines and the woman got into a bit of a boxing etc it did show that
00:17:21.400
her estrogen levels um did drop and no the the man's uh estrogen testosterone testosterone levels
00:17:28.440
levels dropped and the woman's testosterone levels uh test test testosterone levels got high so it i
00:17:35.800
do agree that the actions that you do if you're acting like moving like a woman is going to affect
00:17:39.960
that however to blame knitting or stuff like this and make it seem as if that makes you some kind of
00:17:46.360
you know like a whim a feminine woman that's not right and it is wrong and it's questioning a man's
00:17:53.160
integrity and it's actually insulting him now this is the last point all right man so yeah okay go ahead
00:17:58.440
man that's your solution millions of likes oh sheikh is so cute millions go ahead but that's not what
00:18:04.520
we care man okay so this is very interesting yeah to accuse somebody that they're doing something
00:18:08.440
because of life etc this is wrong this is someone's intention you cannot question someone's intention
00:18:12.840
and say oh you're doing this for life this is haram how are you gonna question someone's intentions
00:18:16.760
how do you know he's doing it for likes and how do you know so brothers and sisters please let's not go
00:18:20.600
down this route i understand the brother's frustration i'm with him i'm 100 with him but
00:18:24.520
to apply this on a specific individual and may take it all out on him is a thulm it is absolutely
00:18:29.800
thulm um and to make it seem as if you know he's doing it for likes and you're saying oh i don't
00:18:33.880
