Transcript

00:00:00.000 If we don't fit the sport, we'll change the sport
00:00:02.920 If we don't fit the sport, we'll change the sport
00:00:05.580 Now that can mean in any way, that can be a subliminal message of
00:00:07.740 You know, if we don't fit it
00:00:09.820 As a Muslim woman or a Muslim sister or a Muslim brother
00:00:14.060 Yeah, and then she eventually, she comes back
00:00:17.300 Yeah, and she comes back
00:00:18.060 She's, man, they were just sinning
00:00:19.680 And now they transition into a niqab hijabi
00:00:24.000 This journey, this road that I travel on
00:00:29.960 It all seems crazy, over the years
00:00:32.860 I picked up thousands of tiger lungs
00:00:35.120 Inspired by my story, from a juvenile
00:00:38.060 When my clothes had holes in them
00:00:40.140 And my afro was picky
00:00:41.860 To the 90s, Moschino and Versace
00:00:45.120 No laces in Arachis, new millennium
00:00:48.300 Asalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
00:00:50.300 Brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:00:51.380 Hope you guys are well inshaAllah
00:00:52.140 Welcome to this video
00:00:52.860 Beautiful day, and we're going to inshaAllah
00:00:54.820 Look at this niq ad video
00:00:57.040 From a different perspective
00:00:58.100 Free perspectives
00:00:59.060 And these free perspectives fit beautifully
00:01:01.380 With a Quran ayah in Surah Fatir, verse 32
00:01:04.620 Three things Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions
00:01:06.740 So how do these three correlate, brothers and sisters?
00:01:09.500 We're going to go through that
00:01:10.560 So, the recent ad that was done by NAC
00:01:12.940 Now, I want to make something very clear, yeah?
00:01:14.900 Now, do I blame Nike?
00:01:16.600 Not really, in the context of, look, Nike is there to make money
00:01:19.180 It's simple as that
00:01:20.120 In a capitalistic world, where everything is about materialism
00:01:22.660 And money
00:01:23.160 That's what they're doing
00:01:24.080 They're just making money
00:01:24.800 So, brothers and sisters, do not be very surprised
00:01:27.160 When you see these kind of things
00:01:28.080 Of a niqabi going into a transition
00:01:30.260 Into another screen
00:01:31.020 Of a woman, if I'm not mistaken
00:01:32.960 Who might be maybe shaved her head off
00:01:34.400 A bisexual, transsexual
00:01:36.500 Or whether she wants to identify gender neutral
00:01:38.780 A piano, a guitar, a skateboard
00:01:40.840 Whatever she wants to
00:01:41.660 Or he wants to identify himself as
00:01:43.660 So, the thing is
00:01:45.000 Don't be surprised
00:01:45.720 Because at the end of the day
00:01:46.500 Is it that Nike cares about the LGBTQ
00:01:48.420 Other letters community
00:01:50.560 And the Muslims?
00:01:51.560 Not really
00:01:52.180 Because Nike does hijabs
00:01:53.620 For sisters
00:01:54.240 Wherever money is to be made
00:01:55.680 They are there
00:01:56.280 It's as simple as that
00:01:57.060 So, yes, I know there's some
00:01:58.500 Subliminal messages in that
00:02:00.140 We can't blame that
00:02:01.100 You know, why out of all people
00:02:02.100 You choose a
00:02:02.660 Why don't you choose a Christian woman
00:02:03.980 Or a Jewish woman
00:02:04.820 Or a Jewish man
00:02:05.460 Transition into that
00:02:06.480 You know, why not?
00:02:07.180 Why a Muslim woman?
00:02:08.620 Anyways
00:02:08.940 And I'm sure
00:02:09.640 I know there's a lot of sisters
00:02:10.360 Who do some good skateboarding skills
00:02:11.840 You know
00:02:12.120 You know, I've seen some
00:02:13.580 Not that I've been looking
00:02:14.120 But you know, you see some
00:02:14.740 Actually, I think I saw a sister
00:02:15.940 Doing some mad skills
00:02:17.380 On a skateboard
00:02:17.760 So, yeah, alhamdulillah
00:02:18.560 There is potential there
00:02:19.940 Anyways
00:02:21.880 That's not my point
00:02:22.880 My point is the following
00:02:24.640 Now, let's watch the video
00:02:25.700 I want us to look at this
00:02:26.980 In three different angles
00:02:28.400 Let's be creative with our mind
00:02:29.900 Let's watch it
00:02:31.600 And if we don't fit the sport
00:02:34.100 We'll change the sport
00:02:35.960 Okay, let's hear that again
00:02:38.420 Let's hear that again
00:02:39.100 It's four seconds
00:02:39.760 And if we don't fit the sport
00:02:42.040 We'll change the sport
00:02:43.900 If we don't fit the sport
00:02:45.880 We'll change the sport
00:02:46.540 Now, that can mean in any way
00:02:47.600 That can be a subliminal message of
00:02:48.700 You know
00:02:49.380 If we don't fit it
00:02:50.760 As a Muslim woman
00:02:52.320 Or a Muslim sister
00:02:53.900 Or a Muslim brother
00:02:55.040 If you don't fit Islam
00:02:57.080 You can change Islam
00:02:58.760 We can see it from that angle
00:03:00.120 It could mean that
00:03:00.660 It can be a subliminal message
00:03:01.460 Why not?
00:03:02.280 You don't fit into it
00:03:03.340 If we don't fit the sport
00:03:04.880 We will change the sport
00:03:06.620 And this is what
00:03:07.620 LGB
00:03:07.940 It's about change
00:03:08.800 It's about one's size
00:03:09.560 It's about me
00:03:10.740 Myself
00:03:11.540 I
00:03:11.820 Like Allah says in the Quran
00:03:12.800 Have you seen one
00:03:13.700 Who takes himself
00:03:14.720 And his desires
00:03:15.560 Has his ilah
00:03:16.200 As his God
00:03:16.740 So don't think ilah
00:03:17.780 Worshipping something
00:03:18.400 Is going and worshipping a tree
00:03:19.560 It doesn't work like that
00:03:20.420 Yeah
00:03:20.540 So you can have people
00:03:21.620 Who are worshipping
00:03:22.240 Different things
00:03:22.940 So this could be a subliminal message
00:03:24.860 Of
00:03:25.160 If it doesn't
00:03:27.140 What was I going to listen to again
00:03:28.360 And if we don't fit the sport
00:03:30.260 If we don't fit the sport
00:03:31.240 We'll change the sport
00:03:32.380 If Islam doesn't fit to your lifestyle
00:03:34.960 You'll change it
00:03:36.040 You can change it
00:03:36.820 Transition
00:03:37.580 Now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:03:39.900 Says in the Quran
00:03:40.560 Something very profound
00:03:41.700 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:03:42.700 Talks about
00:03:43.260 His chosen servants
00:03:44.500 In surah Fatir
00:03:45.220 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:03:45.700 Says that
00:03:46.480 His servants
00:03:47.880 That he's inherited
00:03:48.880 That they've inherited
00:03:50.400 The book
00:03:51.140 The book
00:03:51.540 The Quran
00:03:52.000 The kitab
00:03:52.520 The kitab
00:03:52.880 The books that have come before
00:03:53.680 Yeah
00:03:53.880 The Quran
00:03:54.580 That they will be inheriting it
00:03:57.440 Now Allah talks about
00:03:58.320 Three types of people
00:03:59.560 Now we're going to be
00:04:01.080 Talking about them
00:04:02.060 And we're going to do
00:04:02.920 A little mix up
00:04:03.540 We're going to do
00:04:03.820 A little editing with this video
00:04:04.860 And let's get some
00:04:05.620 Let's get some positivity
00:04:06.780 Out of this video
00:04:07.360 Inshallah
00:04:07.660 Yeah
00:04:07.840 With this verse
00:04:08.400 This big connection
00:04:08.960 With this verse
00:04:09.400 Inshallah
00:04:09.700 We have
00:04:10.600 Let's take this
00:04:11.120 Let's put this into perspective
00:04:12.100 I'm going to have this image now
00:04:14.060 This image is what
00:04:15.300 Now how does these
00:04:16.820 Three individuals
00:04:17.800 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:04:18.320 Is talking about
00:04:18.860 Fit into this
00:04:19.540 Very image of naikad
00:04:20.760 How does it even correlate
00:04:21.520 Brother Ali
00:04:21.840 What the hell
00:04:22.200 Are you talking about
00:04:22.920 What are you talking about
00:04:23.540 Brother
00:04:23.720 Let me come to it
00:04:24.800 Listen carefully
00:04:25.560 Now
00:04:26.240 The first one Allah said
00:04:27.520 Are those who
00:04:28.280 Transgress their self
00:04:29.180 So you have a sister
00:04:30.360 I'm going to play it for you
00:04:31.200 Yeah
00:04:31.440 A sister in naqab
00:04:33.120 Yes
00:04:33.800 Let's listen for ourselves
00:04:35.240 Transgressing
00:04:36.520 Look
00:04:36.740 As she goes
00:04:37.260 She's a naqabi
00:04:37.920 Or this can be a brother
00:04:38.720 This is just symbolizing
00:04:39.400 A righteous person
00:04:40.100 Let's suppose
00:04:40.460 Yeah
00:04:40.640 And righteousness
00:04:41.720 Is not out of appearance
00:04:42.720 In an act as well
00:04:44.420 Please let's make that clear
00:04:45.120 And what do they do
00:04:46.220 They transgress their self
00:04:47.520 And they
00:04:49.200 Disobey Allah
00:04:50.080 Yeah
00:04:50.780 And let's symbolize
00:04:51.840 That the naqab
00:04:52.540 Or the jivab
00:04:53.020 Is that
00:04:53.460 You're disobeying Allah
00:04:54.920 His commandments
00:04:55.520 Yeah
00:04:55.760 Not the actual naqabi
00:04:56.760 But the commandments
00:04:57.620 Allah is asking you to do
00:04:59.040 So from here
00:04:59.800 We can see a naqabi
00:05:00.640 Transitioning into
00:05:01.920 Somebody who's falling into sin
00:05:03.580 Still a believer
00:05:04.180 But falling into sin
00:05:05.560 And promoting certain ideologies
00:05:07.260 That shouldn't be promoted
00:05:08.400 Etc
00:05:08.840 Etc
00:05:09.160 So we can say
00:05:10.620 The ayah first one
00:05:11.620 Visually
00:05:12.300 We can say
00:05:13.540 Okay
00:05:13.780 This fits that
00:05:14.460 The next one
00:05:15.700 Is what
00:05:16.260 Brothers and sisters
00:05:16.840 The ones who are
00:05:18.460 Mediocre
00:05:19.680 So those who are
00:05:21.320 You know
00:05:21.740 They try their best
00:05:22.740 They fall into sin
00:05:23.840 Etc
00:05:24.100 They come back
00:05:24.860 You know
00:05:25.260 They end up in between
00:05:26.020 So let's reverse this
00:05:27.400 Yeah
00:05:27.780 In the context of
00:05:28.920 Let's show
00:05:29.880 For example
00:05:30.860 The naqabi
00:05:32.260 Yeah
00:05:32.620 She's practicing
00:05:33.240 She falls off to deen
00:05:34.940 Yeah
00:05:35.560 And goes on a matting
00:05:36.600 Yeah
00:05:36.760 With this flag and stuff
00:05:37.620 Etc
00:05:37.980 And then
00:05:39.380 She also
00:05:40.940 Yeah
00:05:42.020 And then
00:05:42.840 She eventually
00:05:43.880 She comes back
00:05:44.840 Yeah
00:05:44.980 And she comes back
00:05:45.600 She sins
00:05:46.780 But she's doing mediocre
00:05:47.640 Yeah
00:05:48.200 Okay
00:05:48.560 That is how we can see it
00:05:50.400 Yeah
00:05:50.740 That somebody who is practicing
00:05:52.300 But sometimes falls off
00:05:53.820 Mediocre
00:05:54.460 They're trying their best
00:05:55.260 Etc
00:05:55.620 They come back
00:05:56.540 Etc
00:05:57.280 Okay
00:05:57.700 Now the third one is
00:05:59.200 The ones who outpace
00:06:00.760 They outpace
00:06:02.440 They're going forward
00:06:03.460 So let's take this video
00:06:04.580 And reverse it
00:06:06.040 In the context of
00:06:06.700 Let's put
00:06:07.220 The flag
00:06:08.320 The woman who's holding the flag
00:06:09.920 On this side
00:06:11.400 Left hand side
00:06:11.960 And let's make her transition
00:06:13.140 Into a naqabi
00:06:14.400 In the context of righteousness
00:06:16.020 So
00:06:16.760 What is it outpacing?
00:06:18.280 They might be a revert
00:06:19.160 They might have jahiliya
00:06:20.360 They may have just come to Islam
00:06:21.500 Or they were born a Muslim
00:06:22.420 And they were just sinning
00:06:23.260 And now they transition
00:06:24.780 Into a naqabi hijabi
00:06:27.540 In the context of righteous deeds
00:06:28.800 We're not saying
00:06:29.320 Like the out appearance
00:06:30.720 And they outpace everybody
00:06:32.800 Where they were before
00:06:33.840 They leave that behind
00:06:34.840 They repent
00:06:35.580 And they outpace everybody
00:06:37.080 In righteousness
00:06:37.480 And they do as much righteous deeds
00:06:39.080 As they can
00:06:39.800 Brothers and sisters
00:06:41.200 This is what Allah
00:06:42.320 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:06:42.840 Is talking about
00:06:43.400 And wallahi
00:06:44.020 It is so amazing
00:06:45.060 That Allah
00:06:45.660 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:06:46.480 Puts these free people
00:06:48.040 Into the same category
00:06:48.820 Of inheritors of the Quran
00:06:49.780 Now this is very interesting
00:06:50.860 Because if you look at
00:06:51.400 The tafsir of this
00:06:54.320 You'll see that
00:06:55.100 The valid opinion
00:06:57.080 Is that when it talks
00:06:57.940 About these free categories
00:06:58.700 The ones who sins
00:06:59.660 The ones who are mediocre
00:07:00.760 And those who outpace
00:07:02.220 And do a lot of righteous deeds
00:07:03.520 The first one
00:07:04.980 A lot of people
00:07:06.280 Accept the position
00:07:07.980 That it's talking about
00:07:09.200 Muslims who are sinners
00:07:10.280 But Abdullah bin Abbas
00:07:11.760 And Abdullah bin Masood
00:07:12.700 And a few other companions
00:07:14.540 Have hold of view
00:07:15.420 That this is talking about
00:07:17.500 The disbelievers
00:07:19.380 Yani those
00:07:20.520 Are disbelievers
00:07:21.380 Yeah
00:07:21.780 So they say
00:07:22.420 The correct opinion
00:07:22.980 Is no
00:07:23.480 They're not disbelievers
00:07:24.140 They're the ones
00:07:24.520 Muslims that are transgressing
00:07:25.380 Now it's very important
00:07:26.780 Because what Aisha
00:07:27.600 Radhiallahu anha says
00:07:28.740 Aisha is something
00:07:30.040 So profound
00:07:30.800 And Wallahi
00:07:31.100 Just humbles one down
00:07:32.420 Yani
00:07:33.120 Our mother
00:07:34.280 Aisha Radhiallahu anha
00:07:34.920 She says
00:07:35.360 That the ones
00:07:36.820 Who are outpasting
00:07:37.600 So the top one
00:07:38.380 Outpasting others
00:07:39.280 Is those at the time
00:07:40.640 Of the Prophet
00:07:41.000 Sallam
00:07:41.460 His companions
00:07:42.240 And those who were promised
00:07:43.100 Jannah
00:07:43.420 He says
00:07:44.460 Then the second one
00:07:45.740 Who are mediocre
00:07:46.380 Are the ones
00:07:47.060 Who just fell behind them
00:07:49.080 And Subhanallah
00:07:50.440 Look what she says
00:07:51.160 And she goes
00:07:52.260 The ones who are
00:07:53.320 Transgressed themselves
00:07:54.080 He goes
00:07:54.420 They're like us
00:07:55.120 Brothers and sisters
00:07:57.340 Wallahi
00:07:57.660 Isn't that amazing
00:07:58.340 That the Prophet's wife
00:07:59.620 Classes herself
00:08:01.200 As one of those
00:08:02.440 Who are kind of
00:08:03.400 Transgressing
00:08:03.920 So we can see that
00:08:04.860 As an evidence
00:08:05.280 That it's not talking
00:08:05.800 About disbelievers
00:08:06.460 But look at the humbleness
00:08:07.520 Of Aisha Radhiallahu anha
00:08:08.520 That she's saying
00:08:09.800 That she is one of those
00:08:11.300 Who transgress
00:08:12.020 In the context
00:08:12.740 She's like
00:08:13.080 It's a humble way
00:08:13.760 Of looking
00:08:14.060 And you see this
00:08:14.700 With the companions
00:08:15.260 Like Umar ibn Khattab
00:08:16.220 He was one
00:08:17.120 At the 10 promised
00:08:17.940 Jannah
00:08:18.220 But he feared
00:08:19.540 He feared himself
00:08:20.480 That he's one of the hypocrites
00:08:22.120 The munafikun
00:08:22.900 When the revelation
00:08:24.120 Came to list
00:08:25.240 The hypocrites

00:08:28.740 Humbleness
00:08:29.540 Attitude
00:08:30.220 In the time that we lived
00:08:31.500 People of self-righteous
00:08:32.940 Piety
00:08:33.660 Arrogance
