Summary
In this episode, we discuss a recent video from Sister Deena Tokio, who has taken off her hijab. Why do Muslim women have to wear a headscarf? What is the point of wearing one on certain days?

Some days I'm more comfortable covering my hair and other days I am more comfortable showing it.
00:00:05.120
What I have heard, Sister Deena Tokio, may Allah bless her, is that she has taken off their hijab or...
00:00:12.640
Short skirts, oh you're just inviting, you're asking for trouble girls if you walk down the street in a short skirt.
00:00:17.320
The day I was in the car being driven along by one of my good male pals, I noticed his head swivel almost 360 degrees.
00:00:24.120
Obviously I looked to see what's he looking at and it was the long, long, long, long, long legs of a girl getting off a school bus.
00:00:29.660
Why is it that women are being punished? Why is it that men are being punished? Why was it so poor to bury a nine-year-old?
00:00:36.140
And why can't women leave their homes without a man? Why does it say in your book, why can women be punished?
00:00:52.020
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, brothers and sisters.
00:00:56.060
We've got our letter, post, the post is on time today, inshallah.
00:01:01.920
Welcome to, firstly let me introduce you guys, as-salamu alaykum, welcome to the YFOWs.
00:01:04.920
This is brought to you by Salaam Studios, inshallah.
00:01:07.180
There's a link at the bottom, please do support our works to bring you guys more videos like this.
00:01:11.600
So, let's see what trouble our dear friend has got for us today, inshallah.
00:01:14.660
So, what we do is we open the envelope, we find out what is our common question, what misconception that's asked today,
00:01:19.840
and we discuss it on the YFOWs, you know, you guys ask us the Ys, and we try to answer them, inshallah.
00:01:25.440
So, why do Muslim women have to wear the hijab?
00:01:31.760
So, we've done many videos on this, which I will link, inshallah, not to make it repetitive.
00:01:37.620
But there's a thing that I want to add on to this question, inshallah, today, which is,
00:01:41.360
that recently from what I have heard, that Sister Deena Tokyo, may Allah bless her,
00:01:47.940
and guide her, and guide myself, I mean, always, inshallah, is that she has taken off the hijab,
00:01:54.060
or there is certain days, or something along that line.
00:01:57.720
So, what I'm going to do is, inshallah, I'm going to get straight into it.
00:01:59.540
I would really encourage everybody that's watching this, please, if you can just stay tuned in,
00:02:03.900
and inshallah, this will be a very beneficial video for every single one of us, inshallah.
00:02:08.100
I don't know where this was taken, I don't know if it was Instagram, I don't know if it was Snapchat,
00:02:12.340
So, this is, apparently, this is from Sister Deena Tokyo, yeah? May Allah bless her.
00:02:16.900
There's been a lot of speculation and madness over the weekend regarding the, regarding they,
00:02:22.780
okay, the way I've been wearing, or not wearing my headscarf.
00:02:26.700
I've always been very honest with you guys, and so for me,
00:02:29.540
sharing my recent decisions with you, it's just natural.
00:02:33.140
Just for context, this is all very new for me too.
00:02:38.420
I've only recently started showing my hair over the past few months.
00:02:42.100
Every now and then, whenever I have felt comfortable to do so,
00:02:45.280
some days I'm more comfortable covering my hair,
00:02:47.700
and other days I am more comfortable showing it.
00:02:53.480
I still believe it's in head covering as a part of my modesty,
00:02:57.600
and as a part of my life, and it will always be a part of me.
00:03:00.680
It's a part of my heritage, religion and culture.
00:03:06.700
I have just decided that the best thing for me personally,
00:03:09.480
is not to commit to it daily like I have done for the past 20 years.
00:03:17.020
Now, hearing this, obviously, it's upsetting in a way, for example.
00:03:24.240
Like, this video is not about me having a go at Sister Dina Tokyo
00:03:38.660
Me and Musa did a video about a year ago to Sister Dina Tokyo
00:03:42.320
where she was talking about that it's hard for her to wear the hijab,
00:03:51.120
Even though, like, there's certain things that we do not agree with.
00:03:53.620
However, as far as I know, she didn't really take that lightly.
00:04:00.180
At the end of the day, we did not do that video with a reaction from her,
00:04:05.160
We just do it because we genuinely care about her,
00:04:07.120
and not only her, but the people that follow her
00:04:12.160
And, you know, there was a comment that was given of, you know,
00:04:16.040
why are you giving Naseer to somebody else's wife?
00:04:20.920
You know, I think Sister Dina was referring to her,
00:04:25.460
Something along those lines, if I'm not mistaken, yeah.
00:04:35.500
like, in a way, we're giving Naseer not only to her,
00:04:39.840
because, like it or not, my dear Sister Dina and myself,
00:04:47.560
That doesn't mean it shapes the way you live your life or whatever,
00:04:50.980
but however, because if you're going through that phase in public,
00:04:53.680
it has a ripple effect on the people that follow you.
00:04:59.100
an example that I can give is I was very, very close to somebody
00:05:04.380
because I truly believe that they were causing damage to the Dawah,
00:05:08.620
I don't believe they intentionally were doing it,
00:05:10.220
but unintentionally they were causing a lot of damage
00:05:19.640
So I felt that person was causing damage to the Dawah,
00:05:24.180
not because I'm better than him or he's better than me,
00:05:26.020
but because I felt the Dawah is being portrayed in the wrong way,
00:06:05.720
when they would see their brother drenched in alcohol,
00:06:16.140
obviously this is a public thing that the sister is doing,
00:06:48.760
and we hope that our sister comes back inshallah,
00:09:24.140
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect me from that,
00:10:51.340
the truth comes from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
00:11:19.580
and I can carry on giving on brothers and sisters,
00:11:32.540
but this doesn't mean you follow us with the wrong that we do,
00:11:38.380
it sounded as if people had never heard such a Quran verse,
00:11:41.200
till Abu Bakr radiallahu anh recited it as a reminder,
00:11:57.460
and that's the reason why we give you our reminders,
00:12:33.700
it doesn't mean you're going to go down that route,
00:12:51.800
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَأَمِلُوا الصَّالِهَاتِ
00:13:21.680
and inshallah Allah SWT will make it easy for you,
00:13:26.500
you know some people are going to come and say,
00:19:46.920
you would have not be where you are today brother,
00:19:56.560
because we are not equipped with the knowledge,
00:24:33.180
and they would even call their own head covering khimar,
00:25:04.900
we've done a video with Muhammad Hijab and Musa,
