Ali Dawah - REACTING TO FEMINIST SISTERS VIEW ON HIJAB

00:00:00.000 Assalamu alaikum guys, hope you guys are doing well.

00:00:27.520 I've got two dear guests here, as you can see, Muhammad Hijab and Brother Musa, they've

00:00:31.520 come and I'm looking after them with fruit, look at Muhammad Hijab, Muhammad Hospitality,

00:00:36.480 look at this, Muhammad Hijab and Musa Niqab.

00:00:41.160 It's a good thing, because we actually talk about Hijab today, isn't it? 1.00

00:00:43.680 Yeah, well.

00:00:44.300 It's quite appropriate myself.

00:00:45.660 I actually haven't seen this video we're going to be reacting to.

00:00:47.880 When I kind of saw it briefly, and I was like, really, like, are sisters really affected

00:00:52.740 by this?

00:00:53.460 Like, in a way, like, oh, like, she found something new?

00:00:56.040 And not just sisters, brothers, it could be.

00:00:57.740 Yeah, brothers as well, both, brothers and sisters, like.

00:00:59.860 Back in time, 1400 years, to the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia.

00:01:07.340 When a woman awoke in the middle of the night with the urge to relieve herself, she would 0.97

00:01:12.060 have to walk out past the outskirts of the city and into the wild by herself.

00:01:17.180 Believe it or not, a group of men actually began to see an opportunity in women's nightly

00:01:22.420 trench, which was a garment, like a coat.

00:01:26.920 The men knew to leave her alone. 0.96

00:01:29.660 A jilbab of centuries ago was a status medal, like a Burberry trench or a Chanel jacket.

00:01:36.040 It announced that the woman was free, and a free woman was protected by her clan.

00:01:41.600 She would have no problem speaking out against the attacker and identifying him.

00:01:48.160 But if the woman walking out at night wasn't wearing a jilbab, if she happened to be dressed

00:01:53.800 a bit more freely, and the men knew she was a slave, and they attacked her. 1.00

00:01:59.200 Concerned members of the community brought the situation to the Prophet, and like so many

00:02:06.000 other social, political, and familial issues that Muhammad faced during his Prophethood, he

00:02:13.340 turned this particular matter over to God.

00:02:17.340 And a verse was revealed for the Quran, the Muslim holy book.

00:02:21.000 O Prophet, it reads, tell your wives, your daughters, and the women of the believers to

00:02:28.860 draw upon themselves their garments.

00:02:31.680 This is better, so they may not be known and molested.

00:02:35.520 This is selective translation here.

00:02:37.220 As we'll come to realize, it's a very specific kind of garment, which covers this very specific

00:02:41.900 type of the body.

00:02:43.640 There's another part of the Quran which says that, which hopefully she'll mention.

00:02:46.260 Basically, the verse advises that all women dress similarly, so that they can't be picked 1.00

00:02:53.420 out from one another.

00:02:54.660 And then there was the matter of practicality.

00:02:56.680 How would a slave do her work? 1.00

00:02:58.360 How would she function if her body was constricted by a coat?

00:03:02.700 How would she cook kindly bent to water? 0.97

00:03:06.340 In the end, the early Muslim scholars ruled that a woman's way of dress should be based 1.00

00:03:11.520 on two considerations.

00:03:13.220 A woman's misdemeanor. 0.89

00:03:14.580 A woman's function in society, her role, what we might consider her job, and the society's 1.00

00:03:21.800 specific customs.

00:03:24.200 Okay, okay.

00:03:24.820 Or, in a moment, when in Rome.

00:03:30.560 Now, Muslims like to take historical rulings and apply them to the modern era. 1.00

00:03:36.560 Did you get that?

00:03:37.240 Yeah.

00:03:37.800 I understand what she's saying.

00:03:38.740 So she's saying the scholars have said those two things.

00:03:40.640 So that's the principle.

00:03:42.340 Yeah?

00:03:42.740 Okay.

00:03:43.120 So that's the basis.

00:03:43.880 She's saying the principle for what you wear is who you are in society.

00:03:49.100 And what's the second one?

00:03:49.840 That's her social status and how the norms of society. 1.00

00:03:53.780 Okay.

00:03:54.100 She mentioned those two, yeah?

00:03:55.060 Yeah.

00:03:55.240 She's saying that's the basis.

00:03:56.920 So she's saying that was back then.

00:03:58.400 So if it's...

00:03:58.920 What the scholars are doing in the state is bringing that to today's time and saying, no,

00:04:02.540 this is a different era.

00:04:03.540 She's using... 1.00

00:04:04.340 She's saying what scholars are doing is making historical evidence.

00:04:08.800 She's doing kiyas with timings.

00:04:11.920 In those times were like this.

00:04:13.020 In these times are like that.

00:04:14.100 Okay.

00:04:14.180 All right.

00:04:14.340 Okay.

00:04:14.660 Well...

00:04:14.980 Is that correct?

00:04:15.620 It's not correct.

00:04:16.360 Because there are some things which are therbet in the deen which are very straightforward.

00:04:19.440 Like prayers.

00:04:20.200 Yeah.

00:04:20.360 If you use the same logic, so okay, five prayers that are our historical ruling, you

00:04:26.420 know, came down at the time of the prophet.

00:04:28.020 Yeah.

00:04:28.320 So what's going to stop us from praying now?

00:04:32.200 Is there anything stopping us from praying now?

00:04:34.000 What's the difference here between the injunctions of prayer and injunctions of anything else?

00:04:38.520 Like fasting.

00:04:39.460 Where is the line going to be drawn?

00:04:41.020 Who's going to draw the line?

00:04:42.100 Yeah.

00:04:42.480 So she's attempting to draw the line in a place where it suits maybe her personal self or preference.

00:04:50.520 Yeah.

00:04:50.780 But then she has to be asked, where are you getting this information from?

00:04:53.700 Yeah, this one I'm trying to say.

00:04:54.420 Is it coming from the Quran or the Sunnah?

00:04:55.480 Yeah, exactly.

00:04:55.560 Or is it coming from scholarly consensus?

00:04:57.880 Yeah.

00:04:57.960 Or is it coming from you?

00:04:59.180 Yeah.

00:04:59.320 And if it's coming from you, then who are you?

00:05:00.980 And this is really important because a lot of people that come and say, I, me, me,

00:05:04.500 I, we discuss this a lot, yeah?

00:05:05.460 Yeah.

00:05:05.960 Be careful.

00:05:06.540 You know why?

00:05:06.940 Because we're saying, look, the Quran, the Sunnah, and the Salaf, yeah?

00:05:10.440 Evidence.

00:05:11.120 These three are key.

00:05:12.580 If somebody comes and says to you, I, me, we, interpret it like that, be careful.

00:05:16.780 Because we're looking for Quran, Sunnah, and the Salaf, yeah?

00:05:19.560 Did they understand it like that?

00:05:20.520 And generally, Quran, Sunnah, Ijma'at as well.

00:05:22.000 A woman's way of dress should be based on custom and function. 1.00

00:05:26.520 Custom and function.

00:05:27.180 So what does that mean for a Muslim woman living in America today? 0.90

00:05:30.780 For someone like me?

00:05:32.040 First, it means that I have a function, a role in society, a contribution that I can

00:05:38.940 make.

00:05:39.880 Second, it means that while I'm making that contribution and living in a society where

00:05:43.800 veiling is not the custom, and where, in fact, if I veil, it might actually lead to

00:05:49.620 harassment, then wearing what is the custom, such as a dress, a pair of jeans, or even yoga

00:05:57.200 pants, does not only accept...

00:06:00.040 What's the yoga, what are yoga pants?

00:06:01.780 Yoga, bro, yoga pants, like them yoga pants, like tie, tie, leggings, leggings.

00:06:07.440 Okay, okay.

00:06:08.160 So, okay, where, the question is, where is she getting this information?

00:06:10.760 Before she got this information, what did she say last week?

00:06:12.840 Because she said it's, what is it, detrimental?

00:06:15.200 No, she goes, it's because, okay, it's because harassment now, it's wearing a hijab. 1.00

00:06:19.380 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:20.160 Or a niqab, yeah. 0.97

00:06:20.980 Yeah.

00:06:21.780 So that's what she... 1.00

00:06:22.200 No, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's ridiculous. 0.64

00:06:24.640 Because what she's, she's basically trying to say, and it's not what she's trying 0.80

00:06:26.900 to say.

00:06:27.080 Yeah.

00:06:27.340 For example, let's say, let's say, we're in the niqab. 0.94

00:06:29.420 It's come to a point, it's so dangerous, a sister's life's in danger here, the scholars

00:06:32.920 might come and say, look, sister's better with a hijab. 0.98

00:06:35.000 We're not talking about that.

00:06:35.700 What she's saying is, look, full out, basically, I have to look like you, so then I'm not...

00:06:40.620 What she's saying is what she's wearing.

00:06:42.820 No, what...

00:06:43.580 Yeah, you're saying what she's wearing is fine, basically.

00:06:45.560 What she's saying is that, we have to bow, is what she's really saying.

00:06:49.180 Yeah.

00:06:49.680 We have to bow to the post-colonial, Western expectation.

00:06:54.980 Yeah.

00:06:55.120 And if we don't bow to that, because we're going to be harassed otherwise, then we're

00:07:01.020 going to be fearful of our harassment.

00:07:02.780 And therefore, if we're fearful of our harassment, we shouldn't practice our religion.

00:07:06.140 So if tomorrow they say, don't pray, we should say, okay, the same thing applies with prayer

00:07:10.500 then.

00:07:10.980 Do you know what I mean?

00:07:11.720 And if after tomorrow they say, don't say the shahadah, don't say you're Muslim, then

00:07:15.320 the same thing will continue to apply until there's nothing left of Islam. 1.00

00:07:18.900 And so if she, because the thing is, she's going against the...

00:07:22.240 You know, of course, look, just say this, bro, just say this.

00:07:25.660 I find it hard to wear it, but the commandment is clear.

00:07:29.760 Just say that.

00:07:30.540 Instead of...

00:07:30.880 Well, let's see what she has to say.

00:07:31.960 Let's continue.

00:07:32.360 Yeah, let's continue.

00:07:33.580 Let's see how I'll do this.

00:07:34.220 Wait.

00:07:35.300 Did that be right?

00:07:37.220 After all, haven't we all come to assume that a Muslim woman must veil? 0.60

00:07:42.900 Well, that veiling is a requirement of her faith.

00:07:46.680 Okay.

00:07:47.200 There's even a term that we've all come to associate with the Muslim woman's veil, an Arabic term

00:07:53.240 that we've all heard Jews whether or not we've been aware of it.

00:07:58.180 Hijab. 0.85

00:07:59.340 Is she calling it?

00:08:00.020 So maybe I'm missing.

00:08:02.120 Maybe the requirement that a woman veil isn't a different part of the Quran.

00:08:07.100 For those of you who don't know, the Quran consists of 114 chapters.

00:08:13.460 Out of 6,000 plus verses, three refer to how a woman should dress.

00:08:20.080 The first is the verse I've already told you about.

00:08:23.140 The second is a verse that directly speaks to the prophet's wives, asking that they begin

00:08:28.860 to dress a bit more modestly because of their role, their function in society as his wives. 0.79

00:08:35.320 And the third verse is similar to the first in that it was revealed in direct response

00:08:41.900 to a historical situation.

00:08:44.600 Early records show that the custom, the fashion during the pre-Islamic era was for women

00:08:51.700 to wear a scarf on the head called a himmer.

00:08:55.480 Stop right there, my friend.

00:08:56.880 Behind the ears.

00:08:58.060 Okay.

00:08:59.220 I'm sorry to have to do this, right?

00:09:00.980 But since she's going to come out now and reinvent the wheel, we have to be convinced

00:09:06.840 of her qualifications and her ability to have access to the Quran.

00:09:11.540 So she called it a khimar.

00:09:13.040 Does anyone know who she is?

00:09:14.560 I don't know.

00:09:15.360 It's an image of something.

00:09:16.360 But let me tell you something.

00:09:17.360 Khimar is nothing. 0.80

00:09:18.740 In Arabic it means nothing.

00:09:20.100 The word she was trying to actually pronounce was khimar.

00:09:22.620 Khimar is the way to say the word. 0.96

00:09:27.880 Now, I'm not, believe you me, I'm not trying to be petty here.

00:09:32.280 I am not.

00:09:33.260 But I'm saying if you're going to come out and reinvent the wheel and you can't even

00:09:37.960 pronounce the word properly, that shows something about your... 0.98

00:09:42.140 It's ignorance.

00:09:42.840 I'm sorry.

00:09:43.380 Yeah.

00:09:43.700 It's ignorance.

00:09:44.320 Totally. 1.00

00:09:44.560 But don't have the courage to spread your ignorance. 0.99

00:09:47.820 ...to flow behind the back.

00:09:50.700 In the front, a woman wore a tight vest or a bodice, which she left open, exposing her 1.00

00:09:57.520 Before.

00:09:57.880 She's talking about before.

00:09:58.780 Jailia.

00:09:59.360 Jailia.

00:10:00.600 It's true.

00:10:01.020 Jailia used to wear stuff like that. 1.00

00:10:03.640 When Islam spread through the Arabian Peninsula, a verse was sent down asking that women use 0.87

00:10:09.840 this scarf or any other garment to cover the breasts.

00:10:14.560 And that's it.

00:10:16.600 That's basically all there is in the Quran concerning how long.

00:10:20.740 No, no, no, no.

00:10:21.920 Okay.

00:10:22.300 Mohamed Hijab is not happy about this one.

00:10:24.120 I'm not happy because...

00:10:24.880 What?

00:10:25.560 So the verse in the Quran, yeah?

00:10:27.200 Yeah.

00:10:27.480 Chapter 24, verse 31.

00:10:29.520 وَلِيَضْرِبْنَ بِخْمْرِهِنَّ عَلَيْجُوِبِهِنَّا

00:10:32.080 So let them, i.e. the women, throw their khimars over their bosoms, yeah? 1.00

00:10:39.920 This khimar here, the word khimar itself, look at any Arabic dictionary of the...

00:10:44.560 of the early period.

00:10:46.200 Yeah.

00:10:46.960 Lisan al-Arab, Taj al-Aruz, Mufraza al-Qur'an, anything you want.

00:10:51.820 Yeah.

00:10:52.240 Look at any of the Arabic poetry.

00:10:53.920 Yeah.

00:10:54.240 Look at...

00:10:54.700 Because the Jahili poetry, the old Arabic poetry, it tells us what the Arabs used to... 0.99

00:10:59.400 how you used to use words.

00:11:00.620 Yeah.

00:11:01.160 Look at any of the ahadith that are used of the Prophet.

00:11:03.440 The word khimar means a head covering that goes down.

00:11:07.860 That's what it means.

00:11:08.600 Also, doesn't it mean like...

00:11:09.600 You know alcohol, what's alcohol?

00:11:11.200 Khamar.

00:11:11.500 Khamar.

00:11:11.940 Khamar.

00:11:12.300 Doesn't that mean that it covers the head?

00:11:14.380 You know when you drink alcohol?

00:11:15.140 It covers the mind.

00:11:15.840 It covers the judgment.

00:11:17.080 It covers the mind.

00:11:17.620 Which is a root word, if I'm not mistaken.

00:11:19.740 Yeah, it's the same word.

00:11:21.840 But it covers the mind.

00:11:23.780 Yeah.

00:11:24.340 So I wouldn't use that as evidence here.

00:11:26.120 But what I'm saying is that it's from the head.

00:11:28.220 It starts from the head.

00:11:29.160 Yeah.

00:11:29.700 The word itself, something which starts the head and goes down.

00:11:32.020 Now the question is, where does it go down to?

00:11:34.000 And this is where the discussion is with the Muslim scholars.

00:11:36.860 Yeah.

00:11:37.320 Some scholars, which are the minority, we have to say.

00:11:39.540 But still, just because it's a minority, doesn't mean that they have a weaker opinion.

00:11:42.640 Yeah.

00:11:43.120 The hanaybillah, they say it goes down fully.

00:11:45.140 So it covers the face as well.

00:11:46.480 Yeah.

00:11:46.960 And some others say, no, it goes down like this.

00:11:49.660 So in other words, it goes down, but it allows the hands and the face to be shown.

00:11:54.200 Now, this is a very well-known difference of opinion.

00:11:57.160 But it starts from the head.

00:11:59.420 The word khimar, the cesspit. 0.99

00:12:00.760 There's no doubt about that.

00:12:01.780 The other thing, if there's any doubt about it, it would have been talked about by someone.

00:12:07.100 In the past.

00:12:07.680 But there's no doubt about it whatsoever that for the 1,400 years of Islamic history,

00:12:12.980 and the hundreds, I'm not talking about tens of thousands, I'm talking about hundreds of thousands,

00:12:16.840 if not millions, of scholars that have discussed this matter, yeah,

00:12:20.880 have always confined it to this difference of opinion.

00:12:25.020 Either it's the face and the hands that are covered.

00:12:26.860 Has any scholar ever come and said he doesn't cover it?

00:12:28.680 No scholar in the history of Islam has ever said that no head can be covered for a free woman. 0.96

00:12:34.700 It turns out, God doesn't get a bullet point of all the parts of a woman's body that he wants hidden from you.

00:12:42.660 And in fact, it might be argued and it is argued.

00:12:47.100 I cannot stress enough that it is argued by many Muslim scholars.

00:12:51.860 Wait, wait, wait.

00:12:52.960 The reason these verses were left intentionally vague is so that a woman could choose for herself

00:13:00.340 how to dress according to her...

00:13:03.360 Bro, all right, one second.

00:13:04.320 Listen, listen, listen, listen.

00:13:05.000 ...the culture and the progression of time.

00:13:08.560 Please tell me which scholar said that.

00:13:09.840 It's just, I could, it's like me, I could sit here and say, guys,

00:13:12.400 loads of scholars, loads, man, so many have said that me drinking wine is cool, man.

00:13:17.040 Yeah.

00:13:17.360 It's not a reference.

00:13:18.240 Yeah.

00:13:18.600 Look, let's, okay, we're passionate.

00:13:20.280 Yeah.

00:13:20.500 Let's not target her because it's ignorance. 0.90

00:13:23.120 No, no, no. 0.91

00:13:23.500 It's ignorance.

00:13:24.280 It's ignorance, yeah?

00:13:25.180 Yeah.

00:13:25.380 So we're just upset with the ignorance, yeah?

00:13:27.060 Yeah.

00:13:27.380 Not the sin.

00:13:28.060 No, it's responding to the point.

00:13:29.780 It's not the sin.

00:13:30.340 It's responding to the point.

00:13:31.120 It's hard for ignorance.

00:13:32.340 Yeah.

00:13:32.800 So, like, which scholar?

00:13:34.860 Because she's coming up with this stuff.

00:13:36.040 That's the thing.

00:13:36.780 I, I...

00:13:37.380 Well, Ali, I mean...

00:13:38.480 Have you heard of this?

00:13:39.080 Okay, look.

00:13:39.480 Let me tell you something.

00:13:40.120 If we stood in front of a Christian, or a Jew, or an atheist, or anyone, because we argue

00:13:44.840 against these people.

00:13:45.680 Yeah.

00:13:45.800 We say, look, a lot of your scholars say this, a lot of your scholars say that.

00:13:49.060 Yeah.

00:13:49.480 And we just said it like that.

00:13:50.700 Yeah.

00:13:51.180 What's the first question, though?

00:13:52.420 They have a right to ask.

00:13:52.960 Which scholar?

00:13:54.000 Which scholar?

00:13:54.700 Which scholar said that?

00:13:55.540 Let me ask you a question as well, yeah?

00:13:57.700 At the time, before Islam, before Islam, would the woman go, would women go around the 0.99

00:14:05.220 Kaaba topless and naked?

00:14:07.400 Right, it did happen, yeah.

00:14:08.540 Yeah, yeah, okay.

00:14:09.180 Yeah.

00:14:09.820 So, this actually goes against her initial point.

00:14:13.180 Yeah.

00:14:13.820 Why?

00:14:13.980 Because she said that there needs to be, it needs to be a societal norm.

00:14:19.320 It needs to be a norm in society.

00:14:21.180 And you need to be accustomed to your society.

00:14:24.120 You need to be dressing in a way that your society is comfortable with.

00:14:28.260 A full jilbab is not what the Arabs were comfortable with at that time.

00:14:34.400 Do you get his point?

00:14:35.200 Yeah.

00:14:35.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:36.320 If they would go around topless, and if they would go around the Kaaba naked, how is

00:14:40.960 that a societal norm?

00:14:42.000 Yeah, you actually call it.

00:14:43.080 It goes against your point.

00:14:44.700 Wearing a jilbab in this country is more of a societal norm than you would have been

00:14:50.380 wearing it at the time of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:14:52.920 Before Islam. 1.00

00:14:53.620 Before Islam. 1.00

00:14:54.420 Before Islam. 1.00

00:14:54.820 And also, can I say something?

00:14:55.820 Isn't it referred to, because I can remember that I did a video about this a long time ago,

00:14:58.980 isn't the word khimar actually refers to like, hey, hey, like, wear your socks.

00:15:04.060 Where does my socks belong?

00:15:05.460 On my head?

00:15:06.200 On my hand?

00:15:07.460 Yeah.

00:15:07.920 Like, what I'm trying to say is the word itself is that when it was used to the Arabs, when

00:15:12.420 they would look at a horse, and if the horse was white, and this part of his head onwards

00:15:17.760 was black, they would have said, oh, look, he's wearing a khimar.

00:15:20.740 So, doesn't the khimar, the word actually mean, that it's the word within itself, it's

00:15:25.460 actually referring to the head.

00:15:26.380 The head.

00:15:26.900 Like, just the way if I said to you, look.

00:15:28.440 The socks refer to the feet.

00:15:29.560 Thank you.

00:15:30.080 Yes, like that.

00:15:30.860 Exactly.

00:15:31.540 And that term hijab, guess what?

00:15:36.040 It's not in any of these three verses.

00:15:38.800 Okay, one second.

00:15:39.680 This is, sorry, I think this is the only reaction view I've ever done that I stop every 10 seconds.

00:15:43.820 One second, one second.

00:15:44.820 You're going, bro.

00:15:45.340 This, you know the word, why there's a big problem here?

00:15:48.080 Yeah.

00:15:48.960 The word hijab has got nothing to do with the veil anyways.

00:15:53.020 Sorry, it's true.

00:15:53.780 Okay, now, what she's done is this.

00:15:56.180 We have come to this country, and in this country, we've referred to it as a hijab.

00:15:59.500 Yes.

00:15:59.940 Okay.

00:16:00.440 And even, by the way, in Arab countries, they call it hijab.

00:16:02.760 In Arab countries, yeah, they refer it to us as hijab, yeah?

00:16:05.120 Hence my surname.

00:16:05.600 Okay, yeah.

00:16:06.640 Okay.

00:16:07.400 Now, what she's done is, there's this new word that's been made, and she is using this

00:16:12.280 argument to say, hey, the Quran doesn't mention hijab.

00:16:15.300 And we're like, you're right.

00:16:16.680 It doesn't mention the hijab.

00:16:17.820 But we both agree on that.

00:16:19.460 The word hijab is always made for, like, barrier or something like that.

00:16:22.520 Yes, yes.

00:16:23.400 But what she's missing out is, she's saying, look, the hijab isn't mentioned.

00:16:27.920 And we're like, obviously.

00:16:28.940 Well, do you know what this is called?

00:16:29.920 What is the core fundamental belief of a Muslim?

00:16:33.520 Tawheed.

00:16:33.860 I'm allergic to apples, by the way.

00:16:34.580 Tawheed, right?

00:16:35.120 Yes, Tawheed, yes.

00:16:35.600 Tawheed, believing in one God.

00:16:37.160 You're allergic to apples.

00:16:38.300 The core fundamental belief of a Muslim is believing in one God.

00:16:41.340 Monotheism, Tawheed.

00:16:42.060 Tawheed.

00:16:42.520 How many times is Tawheed mentioned in the Quran?

00:16:44.620 Exactly.

00:16:45.040 In his pure form?

00:16:45.660 It's like that?

00:16:45.900 In Tawheed.

00:16:46.700 Never, no.

00:16:47.100 Never.

00:16:48.180 It seems like a Muslim, though, just to be. 1.00

00:16:49.820 Yeah, no, no, no.

00:16:50.500 Oh, of course.

00:16:51.320 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:51.620 I'm not trying to say that.

00:16:52.760 Yeah.

00:16:52.960 But I'm saying, if we were to use that argument.

00:16:55.600 Sahih.

00:16:56.240 How many times is Christian mentioned in the Bible?

00:16:58.940 None.

00:17:00.020 How many times?

00:17:00.660 No, no, no.

00:17:01.820 These arguments are pure.

00:17:03.540 I personally feel like it's just a personal thing for her.

00:17:06.120 She don't want to wear the hijab. 1.00

00:17:06.720 You know, should I tell you something, yeah?

00:17:07.820 Because this just shows to me, anyone that would believe this and take this.

00:17:11.060 But you know what?

00:17:11.560 Can I tell you something, yeah?

00:17:12.340 Can I tell you something, yeah?

00:17:13.520 If the word hijab was used, she would probably have an argument. 0.97

00:17:16.420 But the fact that the word khimar is used, and jilbab, or the plurals of both of it, she's

00:17:21.700 got nowhere to go.

00:17:22.280 Because the word khimar actually specifies a location, actual centrality from the head

00:17:26.260 going downward.

00:17:27.160 So, if the word hijab was used, it would be more unspecific than the word khimar or jilbab.

00:17:33.980 I'm desperate.

00:17:34.820 I need to pee.

00:17:35.660 I just came suddenly.

00:17:37.320 Like, honestly, I'm really...

00:17:38.460 No, you know what?

00:17:39.020 Unto your first button.

00:17:40.320 You're flipping, squeezing your flipping bladder.

00:17:41.760 Make sure it doesn't come on.

00:17:42.700 Can I go to it?

00:17:43.340 Just peel.

00:17:44.160 That means hijab.

00:17:45.700 That physical screen, that means hijab. 1.00

00:17:49.120 That barrier, that divide, that means hijab. 0.99

00:17:53.100 Hijab doesn't mean a woman's veil.

00:17:56.040 Exactly.

00:17:57.300 Yes.

00:17:57.780 But she's right, dog.

00:17:58.500 It turns out that the Prophet's first wife was what we would define today as a CEO. 0.94

00:18:05.540 And Muhammad's second wife? 0.96

00:18:08.040 She rode into battle on the back of a camel, which is equivalent to a woman riding into battle 0.98

00:18:13.000 today inside of a Humvee or a tank.

00:18:16.920 One woman became famous as a general when she let her army of men into battle and crushed 1.00

00:18:24.260 a rebellion.

00:18:26.040 Women even loudly debated with the Prophet himself.

00:18:30.960 So far we agree, yes?

00:18:32.280 With those things, it was over.

00:18:33.420 Islam empowers women.

00:18:34.640 Yeah.

00:18:34.940 There you go.

00:18:35.460 Look, we calm.

00:18:36.500 We're okay with that.

00:18:37.920 Of course.

00:18:38.140 With society to 600 AD, it might be a huge step forward.

00:18:45.780 See, they're laughing.

00:18:46.740 They're crowded laughing.

00:18:47.380 Okay.

00:18:47.860 That's a sick point she made. 1.00

00:18:49.180 I have to give it to her.

00:18:49.780 Yeah.

00:18:50.100 She's saying, if we go back to that time, the woman actually have more rights. 1.00

00:18:55.480 Yes?

00:18:56.080 Yeah.

00:18:56.320 Islamically as well, yeah? 0.74

00:18:57.480 Obviously.

00:18:57.680 She's saying progression has been...

00:18:59.240 Bro, exactly.

00:19:00.260 That was a profound point that I would give it to her sister.

00:19:02.440 Okay.

00:19:02.680 Okay.

00:19:03.140 You know why?

00:19:04.040 Because that's exactly what we push out today.

00:19:05.880 And that's why the problem is we found out that she's a feminist. 1.00

00:19:09.500 Yeah.

00:19:09.740 Okay.

00:19:09.900 She has this movement in America.

00:19:11.420 Yeah?

00:19:11.660 Okay.

00:19:12.000 Now, this is what we say when we give our talks, yeah?

00:19:14.240 Yeah.

00:19:14.420 We say, look, if you want to abolish the abuse of women by men, acid attacks, beating, whatever

00:19:22.160 it may be.

00:19:22.740 Yeah.

00:19:23.060 What do you do?

00:19:24.100 Bring something that's man-made 1,400 years later, or like she said, go back 1,400 years

00:19:29.620 ago.

00:19:30.600 Yeah.

00:19:31.380 Islam.

00:19:31.740 Yeah.

00:19:32.040 Do you get what I'm trying to say?

00:19:32.720 That's a good point.

00:19:33.480 Exactly.

00:19:34.140 So, she's not implementing what she's saying.

00:19:36.180 You're absolutely right.

00:19:36.420 But did you get my point?

00:19:37.320 I got your point.

00:19:37.700 If we want to get over, beat this abuse towards women, et cetera, yeah, we should implement

00:19:45.120 the Quran and Sunnah.

00:19:46.440 This is how we abolish these kinds of things.

00:19:48.900 Oh, Prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the women of the believers to draw upon 1.00

00:19:55.260 themselves their garments, parentheses.

00:19:59.260 A garment is a veil that covers the entire head and the face, the neck, the breast, all

00:20:05.420 the way down to the ankles, and all the way to the wrists.

00:20:09.440 Everything on a woman's body is exposed except for one eye, because she must see where she 1.00

00:20:15.680 is coming.

00:20:16.000 I know what translation is.

00:20:16.620 And the hands must be covered in gloves.

00:20:19.420 Okay.

00:20:19.660 She tried saying that the people who have been entrusted with the interpretation of the Quran

00:20:25.300 are men.

00:20:28.320 And as if all the people that have been entrusted with the interpretation of the Quran have been

00:20:33.740 men.

00:20:34.000 No, actually, he hasn't.

00:20:34.820 Okay, so let's think about even at the time of the Prophet, which women were at the fore

00:20:42.620 of interpreting Quranic jurisprudence or Quranic verses in the light of jurisprudence.

00:20:48.200 People like Aisha, people like Umu Salaamah, people like Zayna.

00:20:54.640 So they actually directed this.

00:20:55.760 These are the women who we have, I would say, I don't know, but the majority of Ahadith

00:21:00.680 that refer to the hijab come from these women. 0.98

00:21:04.060 It comes from that.

00:21:04.960 It comes from women. 1.00

00:21:05.460 I can drop the mic.

00:21:06.020 I don't want to do this video.

00:21:06.720 I love it.

00:21:07.940 It comes from women, I think. 1.00

00:21:09.280 I think goodbye.

00:21:09.880 Bro, I'm going, Aki.

00:21:11.420 More Ahadith come from Aisha than Umu.

00:21:13.440 Forget that.

00:21:14.120 They specifically translated these verses to mean what?

00:21:17.880 I'm telling you, Aisha, she's the one.

00:21:20.180 When these verses came down, when the mothers of the believers, they heard these verses,

00:21:25.760 they are the ones who not only, they knew what it meant, but they acted upon it instantaneously

00:21:32.120 by taking the...

00:21:33.560 I heard that Ansari women would actually rip parts of their clothes when the verses came 0.99

00:21:38.740 down and wrap it around their heads.

00:21:39.520 So were they women or men that were doing this?

00:21:41.720 What do you mean?

00:21:42.620 It was women that were doing this, right? 1.00

00:21:44.460 So how did they interpret the Quran?

00:21:46.700 They were the women that were interpreting the Quran. 1.00

00:21:48.840 So what she's doing here, the first problem is that she's doing a disservice or something,

00:21:52.960 thinking that it's all men.

00:21:54.100 No, it's not all men.

00:21:54.740 Number two, let's just say it is all men for the sake of argument. 0.92

00:21:58.040 It's not.

00:21:58.980 I mean, there is a considerable amount of Islamic scholars that are women.

00:22:03.140 A considerable amount.

00:22:04.160 More than any other religion. 0.81

00:22:06.180 Hundreds of thousands of Muslim scholars, men and women, they colluded.

00:22:12.660 Now think of it this way.

00:22:13.720 They colluded together to intentionally superimpose a very specific type of meaning onto the verses

00:22:20.460 of the Quran.

00:22:20.820 And get away with it.

00:22:21.900 And get away with it.

00:22:22.540 And get away with it.

00:22:22.560 And you don't want one of them, or at least a community of them, who have reputation,

00:22:27.820 who understand the sacred sciences, will stand up and say, you know what, let's do the right

00:22:31.760 thing and interpret the verses in the correct way in light of the Arabic language.

00:22:34.980 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:35.660 This is actually a conspiracy.

00:22:38.460 The word Khimar, as we said, it means from the top to the bottom.

00:22:42.780 So he took, okay, that means the whole word.

00:22:44.660 Now basically, there's no doubt about that.

00:22:46.500 The only difference is, is it one eye?

00:22:48.440 Is it niqab? 0.72

00:22:49.200 Is it like just the face hand?

00:22:51.160 He took the view that it's one eye?

00:22:52.620 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:53.000 Okay, you don't need to take that view.

00:22:54.340 Yeah.

00:22:54.620 But I'm just saying, that list is within the scope of discussion.

00:22:57.980 Yeah.

00:22:58.740 What she's saying is not within the scope of discussion.

00:23:01.260 Islam is not conforming to the social norms. 1.00

00:23:04.060 She feels uncomfortable.

00:23:05.120 Yeah, yeah.

00:23:05.660 Okay.

00:23:06.240 It's nice.

00:23:06.800 It's desirism, man.

00:23:07.680 It's desirism.

00:23:08.180 It's not nice.

00:23:08.660 One, did she mention one scholar?

00:23:10.340 Did she mention one scholar?

00:23:11.320 She didn't make any reference.

00:23:12.080 One, one, one, one, one.

00:23:12.900 There was no reference.

00:23:13.760 Even when she referenced the Quran, she didn't reference it.

00:23:15.820 To be honest, I'll make me very simple.

00:23:17.200 Okay, let's just wrap it up with this, yeah?

00:23:18.060 Any sister, anybody, whoever, that watches this and sees it as something that affects them.

00:23:24.460 I'm sorry, desirism.

00:23:25.700 There's nothing, nothing, nothing.

00:23:28.040 Zero.

00:23:28.780 So guys, As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

00:23:32.120 Kera! 1.00
