00:00:00.000 Why is divorce frowned upon?
00:00:02.720 I always bring it down to one issue in the ummah
00:00:06.840 It's the lack of taqwa and self-accountability
00:00:09.240 Okay, from a personal point of view, I'll be honest
00:00:11.380 I will find it very difficult to marry somebody who's divorced
00:00:14.460 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please
00:00:16.300 And a lot of mothers think that their sons are angels
00:00:20.580 That they just fell from the sky and they are perfect
00:00:24.120 Marrying a divorced woman, they think, oh gosh, no
00:00:26.580 My son deserves the best, he deserves a princess
00:00:29.120 Even if he's divorced himself, he still deserves a queen
00:00:33.000 The guys, even if they're not in love anymore, they're going to carry on
00:00:36.540 The sisters, it seems, that when they lose that romantic attachment and that love
00:00:41.640 And they start comparing and so on, they will fall out
00:00:44.100 With the Somali community, like personally myself
00:00:46.740 I've realised that they don't frown upon divorcees
00:00:50.000 I know now sisters that I mentioned before
00:00:51.880 Who are actually turning to non-Muslim men
00:00:54.120 Because they are more accepting of divorced women
00:00:56.820 You're going to grow up, you're going to do all those things
00:00:58.420 You're going to get married and you're going to
00:00:59.960 It's like a status thing as well
00:01:01.600 And it's like, if you are divorced, you're bringing shame upon the family
00:01:04.600 The Desi subcontinent culture does frown upon divorce a lot
00:01:10.060 But I think it's more complex than that because there's a reason
00:01:15.300 In early stages, for a man, it's, oh yes, amazing
00:01:18.560 For a woman, it's misery, etc
00:01:20.220 On the long run, you guys heal faster
00:01:23.200 Sisters who have been divorced, they are most likely to work 10 times harder to make that marriage last
00:01:28.740 Than anyone else who hasn't got that experience
00:01:32.040 Islam Net is raising funds to establish a masjid and community centre in Norway
00:01:48.020 And they urgently need your support
00:01:49.760 This donation will be a sadaqah jariah for you

00:03:08.920 Can you stop talking about me and yourself?
00:03:11.140 Oh, sorry, sorry
00:03:11.760 No, no, but I just want to say honestly
00:03:13.820 All jokes aside

00:03:28.940 I'm trying to
00:03:30.060 I'm trying to like
00:03:30.820 Speak slowly
00:03:31.560 Because I'm stuttering
00:03:32.300 Like Masha'Allah
00:03:33.100 Every time I look at him
00:03:34.040 I got low on my gaze

00:05:46.760 By the way
00:05:47.220 Just to introduce you
00:05:47.860 This is the bitter buzzer
00:05:50.800 So
00:05:51.120 Argument's sake
00:05:52.240 If somebody is saying something
00:05:53.400 Which you disagree with
00:05:54.160 It can be from outside
00:05:54.760 By the way
00:05:55.180 And you're like
00:05:55.820 You know what
00:05:56.080 Maybe I need to drop
00:05:57.100 A bitter truth here
00:05:57.780 So the moment you press it
00:05:59.020 I finish my sentence
00:06:00.200 And you've got one and a half minute
00:06:01.220 To vote in
00:06:02.340 Okay
00:06:02.880 Very smart
00:06:03.560 Okay cool
00:06:03.980 Yeah
00:06:04.220 So especially for you
00:06:05.520 Because I know you need it
00:06:06.100 But
00:06:06.280 You're only allowed to use it once
00:06:07.680 Yeah
00:06:08.740 Because you know
00:06:09.080 You don't like to get married again
00:06:10.100 So once is enough for you
00:06:11.360 Yeah but I disagree with a lot of things you say though
00:06:12.900 Then you're going to have to
00:06:14.240 Take a picture
00:06:15.220 Yeah
00:06:15.860 So anyway
00:06:16.960 So guys
00:06:17.380 Today's topic is
00:06:18.040 Quite a serious one
00:06:19.040 And
00:06:20.620 It's the matter of
00:06:22.740 Divorce
00:06:23.300 Divorce is looked down upon
00:06:25.820 We talked about this on our episode
00:06:27.240 Kind of briefly
00:06:27.700 Touched up on
00:06:28.220 On it
00:06:29.020 Should it be frowned upon
00:06:30.200 Should divorce be frowned upon
00:06:31.480 And after we discuss that
00:06:33.120 What is the healing process
00:06:34.620 And also
00:06:35.740 Is there lessons to be learned
00:06:37.420 Divorce
00:06:37.700 Is divorce a bad thing
00:06:38.800 Is it a horrible thing
00:06:40.000 Is it something that
00:06:40.840 Teaches us something
00:06:41.700 So in a nutshell
00:06:42.840 Let's start off with
00:06:44.200 Why
00:06:45.580 Is divorce
00:06:47.220 Frowned upon
00:06:48.240 And then we can move to
00:06:50.060 Healing from that
00:06:51.900 Let's start off with
00:06:55.240 The sisters
00:06:55.720 Let's start off with
00:06:57.900 Let's start off with
00:06:58.000 Just a song
00:07:00.280 I'm not sure if I'm qualified
00:07:03.360 To speak about the
00:07:04.580 Main causes of divorce
00:07:06.080 Not cause
00:07:06.700 But do you think
00:07:07.260 Like divorce
00:07:07.800 Is it
00:07:07.980 I always bring it down to
00:07:10.620 One issue in the Ummah
00:07:12.700 Is the lack of taqwa
00:07:14.220 And self accountability
00:07:15.220 For the most part
00:07:16.860 I mean
00:07:17.200 If we have to summarize
00:07:18.720 All the causes
00:07:19.600 They come
00:07:20.080 We have like
00:07:20.940 One thousand causes
00:07:21.780 Of divorce
00:07:22.300 But I always think
00:07:23.760 With all honesty
00:07:24.720 Is the lack of taqwa
00:07:26.340 From brothers or sisters
00:07:27.240 And the lack of
00:07:28.340 Self accountability
00:07:29.000 Before you were talking
00:07:30.520 A lot about therapy
00:07:31.560 And I was explaining
00:07:32.800 To the sisters
00:07:33.340 Like we are in
00:07:34.260 An assisting society
00:07:35.940 Brothers and sisters
00:07:37.300 Are struggling
00:07:38.080 With self accountability
00:07:39.040 And it's the first step
00:07:40.880 To healing
00:07:41.560 To fixing a problem
00:07:43.400 To anything
00:07:44.360 Even to going back
00:07:45.260 To Allah
00:07:45.780 Azzawajal
00:07:46.840 You have to first
00:07:47.620 Realize that
00:07:48.300 You are in trouble
00:07:49.440 Or you need fixing
00:07:50.540 So for me
00:07:51.660 Those
00:07:51.920 For me
00:07:52.500 Are the two main causes
00:07:53.880 Of divorce
00:07:55.220 Okay
00:07:55.860 Sister Aya
00:07:56.380 You talked about
00:07:57.060 For example
00:07:57.520 The Asian community
00:07:59.080 And
00:07:59.920 When it comes to divorce
00:08:01.400 How is divorce viewed
00:08:02.400 In your community
00:08:03.240 And because
00:08:04.460 You did mention
00:08:05.220 That you yourself
00:08:05.940 Got divorced
00:08:06.540 So
00:08:07.460 I do know
00:08:08.940 There is like this
00:08:09.720 You know
00:08:10.320 Negativity
00:08:11.280 Like
00:08:11.640 Oh you should never
00:08:12.380 Get divorced
00:08:13.020 By all means
00:08:14.340 Please
00:08:15.320 So like you said
00:08:17.360 Divorce is
00:08:18.120 100% frowned upon
00:08:19.500 It is the most
00:08:21.240 Despicable thing
00:08:22.200 A woman can do
00:08:23.120 And sadly
00:08:24.280 It's always
00:08:24.920 The woman who is
00:08:26.000 Too blameful
00:08:27.220 Because I think
00:08:28.220 Culture is toxic
00:08:30.520 So the South Asian culture
00:08:32.120 Is very
00:08:32.660 Very toxic
00:08:33.480 And we are told
00:08:34.740 From a very young age
00:08:35.520 Our
00:08:35.940 Sole purpose in life
00:08:37.880 Is to grow up
00:08:39.060 Become a wife
00:08:39.900 Turn your house
00:08:40.840 Into a home
00:08:41.520 And raise the children
00:08:42.740 And therefore
00:08:44.120 When you are unable
00:08:44.880 To do that
00:08:45.300 For whatever reason
00:08:46.060 Not saying
00:08:46.440 That it is
00:08:46.700 Sister's fault
00:08:47.340 Because
00:08:47.900 You know
00:08:48.460 There's two sides
00:08:49.140 Story
00:08:49.960 The blame
00:08:51.680 Comes down to you
00:08:52.560 Like there is
00:08:53.300 Something wrong with you
00:08:54.040 You are broken
00:08:54.740 You are defected
00:08:55.980 And
00:08:56.440 Now nobody's
00:08:57.960 Going to want you
00:08:58.480 Because now
00:08:58.940 You've got a past
00:08:59.720 You've got a history
00:09:00.600 You know
00:09:01.200 You've broken
00:09:01.760 My marriage
00:09:02.400 Now people are
00:09:03.280 Going to be worried
00:09:03.860 That you're going
00:09:04.300 To break their homes
00:09:05.160 And
00:09:06.360 A lot of mothers
00:09:07.760 Think that
00:09:08.420 Their sons
00:09:09.140 Are angels
00:09:09.960 That they just
00:09:11.500 Fell
00:09:11.900 From the sky
00:09:12.640 And they are perfect
00:09:13.540 So then
00:09:14.580 When they think
00:09:15.200 About
00:09:15.660 Marrying a
00:09:18.180 Divorced woman
00:09:18.720 They think
00:09:19.060 Oh gosh no
00:09:19.880 My son deserves
00:09:20.800 The best
00:09:21.300 He deserves
00:09:21.760 A princess
00:09:22.360 Even if he's
00:09:23.760 Divorced himself
00:09:24.600 He still deserves
00:09:25.900 A queen
00:09:26.360 Interesting
00:09:27.620 Interesting
00:09:28.400 Okay bro
00:09:29.400 I was going to
00:09:30.720 Press the buzzer
00:09:31.340 But I
00:09:31.700 Oh you held
00:09:32.400 Yourself back
00:09:32.860 Use it
00:09:33.660 Because you might
00:09:33.980 Need it
00:09:34.260 You might need
00:09:35.360 It somewhere else
00:09:35.780 There's
00:09:37.940 There's a few
00:09:40.200 Things that I agree
00:09:41.020 With
00:09:41.300 From what you said
00:09:42.200 That there are
00:09:44.180 Certain cultures
00:09:45.020 That do frown
00:09:45.860 Upon divorce
00:09:46.560 A bit more
00:09:47.220 Than others
00:09:48.180 If you look
00:09:51.040 At a western
00:09:51.400 Culture
00:09:51.780 Right
00:09:52.300 It's
00:09:53.840 Muslims
00:09:54.600 Within a western
00:09:55.260 Culture
00:09:55.660 It's still
00:09:57.440 Frowned upon
00:09:58.180 But we see
00:09:59.520 A change
00:10:00.200 In that
00:10:00.960 That
00:10:02.580 Assessment
00:10:03.920 Like it's not
00:10:04.500 That frowned upon
00:10:05.840 Anymore
00:10:06.200 Right
00:10:07.120 And again
00:10:07.400 We're very
00:10:08.120 Influenced by
00:10:08.980 We're
00:10:09.500 You know
00:10:09.980 There's no
00:10:10.700 In Bangladesh
00:10:12.580 For example
00:10:13.120 Or Pakistan
00:10:13.980 It's a
00:10:16.060 More homogeneous
00:10:16.920 Culture
00:10:17.440 What does that
00:10:18.560 Mean
00:10:18.780 Meaning
00:10:19.500 Meaning
00:10:19.520 It's more
00:10:20.280 Agreed upon
00:10:20.900 Even though
00:10:21.280 There's
00:10:21.440 Differences
00:10:21.840 It's very
00:10:22.440 Homogeneous
00:10:23.180 Right
00:10:23.440 And it's
00:10:24.540 Quite heterogeneous
00:10:25.520 In the west
00:10:26.560 Meaning there's a lot
00:10:28.000 Of philosophies
00:10:28.660 A lot of
00:10:29.060 Ideologies
00:10:29.640 And the Muslims
00:10:30.180 Are influenced by it
00:10:30.940 There's no way
00:10:31.640 It doesn't matter
00:10:32.460 What people say
00:10:33.140 In the end
00:10:33.680 The environment
00:10:34.540 Will affect you
00:10:35.480 To an extent
00:10:37.100 Right
00:10:38.020 So
00:10:38.960 Indeed
00:10:40.520 The
00:10:41.080 The Desi
00:10:42.080 Subcontinent
00:10:43.040 Culture
00:10:43.620 Does frown upon
00:10:45.080 Divorce
00:10:45.700 A lot
00:10:45.900 But
00:10:46.080 I think
00:10:47.080 It's
00:10:47.400 It's more
00:10:48.880 Complex than that
00:10:49.840 Because
00:10:50.200 There's a reason
00:10:51.120 I can't
00:10:52.860 I understand
00:10:53.420 The sister
00:10:53.860 She's from
00:10:54.520 That culture
00:10:55.140 Yeah
00:10:55.960 I am married
00:10:57.060 Into that culture
00:10:57.820 So I
00:10:58.220 Have gone
00:10:59.280 There
00:10:59.880 Seen it
00:11:00.680 Understood
00:11:01.100 I lived
00:11:01.620 To an extent
00:11:02.740 Within
00:11:03.180 Certain
00:11:04.060 Dynamics
00:11:04.640 Of that
00:11:04.960 Society
00:11:05.480 Or
00:11:05.780 You know
00:11:06.220 So
00:11:07.140 But I don't want to make the argument
00:11:08.580 From experience
00:11:09.220 But
00:11:09.540 I would say that
00:11:11.040 There's some good to that
00:11:12.760 Because
00:11:13.960 If you look at the Pakistanis
00:11:15.740 The Bangladeshis
00:11:16.540 The Indians
00:11:17.440 The Desi culture
00:11:19.220 Yes
00:11:20.060 They do
00:11:20.980 Have a problem
00:11:22.080 With
00:11:22.320 What I call
00:11:23.440 Cultural Islam
00:11:24.380 Which means that
00:11:26.260 They make
00:11:29.800 Culture
00:11:31.040 Islam
00:11:33.040 Fit their culture
00:11:34.040 But there's also
00:11:36.260 Islamic culture
00:11:37.760 Which is inspired
00:11:39.200 From Islam
00:11:39.760 And definitely
00:11:40.760 Within the Pakistanis
00:11:41.560 There are some
00:11:42.380 Very very good
00:11:43.420 Aspects
00:11:44.560 So
00:11:45.180 Should people
00:11:46.360 Just jump into
00:11:47.080 Divorce
00:11:47.540 You find that
00:11:48.220 Within that culture
00:11:49.160 They do
00:11:50.300 Try to push it
00:11:51.840 As far as possible
00:11:52.820 Are they going to
00:11:53.980 Make a dholme in that
00:11:54.960 Well yeah
00:11:55.660 There is a lot of
00:11:56.560 Examples of dholme
00:11:57.500 But is that
00:11:58.420 Necessarily a bad thing
00:11:59.740 If they are
00:12:00.380 As the sister said
00:12:02.240 Like you're expected
00:12:03.240 As a woman
00:12:03.740 To become a good wife
00:12:05.480 Obedient wife
00:12:06.960 To build a good house
00:12:08.020 Those are good things
00:12:08.900 They are good things
00:12:09.480 Why are they negative things
00:12:10.740 They are good things
00:12:11.420 What becomes toxic
00:12:13.020 Is when people
00:12:14.320 Don't see
00:12:15.180 Where the truth is
00:12:16.460 For example
00:12:17.680 A lot of people
00:12:18.560 Come to me
00:12:19.000 With this question
00:12:19.720 But just because
00:12:21.200 And we just spoke
00:12:21.900 About in-laws
00:12:22.460 And I forgot to mention this
00:12:23.500 But they'll say
00:12:25.200 Just because
00:12:27.060 The elders
00:12:28.000 Or my father
00:12:29.480 Or my mother
00:12:30.140 You know elders
00:12:30.940 The concept of the elders
00:12:31.880 Is there
00:12:32.320 Does that necessarily
00:12:34.500 Make them right
00:12:35.720 So they kind of
00:12:37.000 They equate being right
00:12:38.420 With the position
00:12:38.980 Of that person
00:12:39.600 In the family
00:12:40.740 If it's the grandfather
00:12:41.980 He sits at the front
00:12:43.100 Of the table usually
00:12:43.820 Whatever he's the wise man
00:12:45.540 He might not even know
00:12:46.380 To read Surah Fathya
00:12:47.300 Properly right
00:12:48.060 But whatever he does
00:12:49.560 Or whatever he says
00:12:50.240 Goes
00:12:50.580 That's where the dholme
00:12:51.760 Comes in
00:12:52.420 Right
00:12:53.400 And you know
00:12:54.940 The Prophet
00:12:55.260 Like Omar Khattab
00:12:56.840 For example
00:12:57.520 He was saying
00:12:57.820 With Abdullah bin Omar
00:12:58.500 And with some of
00:12:59.320 The Kibar Sahaba
00:13:00.140 And Abdullah bin Omar
00:13:03.360 He had the answer
00:13:04.420 You know
00:13:04.620 But he said
00:13:04.980 I was shy to
00:13:05.760 Because of the
00:13:06.420 Kibar Sahaba
00:13:07.160 The big Sahaba
00:13:07.840 Right
00:13:08.020 He said
00:13:08.180 No that would have
00:13:08.760 Made me
00:13:09.020 I would be proud of you
00:13:10.860 If you just spoken
00:13:11.740 The truth
00:13:12.700 But they have knowledge
00:13:13.600 That's the difference
00:13:14.260 It's the knowledge
00:13:14.900 And the truth
00:13:15.520 Right
00:13:15.700 It's not about
00:13:16.360 Who you are
00:13:16.960 Of course there is
00:13:17.640 Respect for the elders
00:13:18.860 Yeah
00:13:19.320 But sometimes
00:13:20.220 That becomes toxic
00:13:21.840 If we take that over
00:13:23.200 The truth
00:13:23.680 I would say
00:13:24.100 That's where
00:13:24.520 The problem is
00:13:25.100 Is the culture
00:13:26.540 Itself toxic
00:13:27.480 I don't think so
00:13:28.260 There's a lot
00:13:28.960 Of great things
00:13:29.740 In the subcontinent culture
00:13:31.680 Yeah
00:13:32.120 Such as the
00:13:32.980 You know
00:13:33.200 Family
00:13:33.660 How united they are
00:13:34.940 Yes
00:13:35.320 The fact that
00:13:36.020 They're going to
00:13:36.900 Really sacrifice
00:13:38.420 For each other
00:13:39.200 As opposed to
00:13:40.140 Western culture
00:13:40.780 The smallest thing
00:13:41.680 Man
00:13:41.880 The smallest thing
00:13:43.160 Divorce
00:13:43.720 Yes
00:13:44.220 Divorce
00:13:44.780 Divorce
00:13:45.700 Divorce
00:13:46.360 Divorce
00:13:46.940 Right away
00:13:47.440 Right
00:13:47.700 Kholak
00:13:48.380 Kholak
00:13:48.720 Kholak
00:13:49.100 Kholak
00:13:49.520 Kholak
00:13:49.820 Kholak
00:13:50.220 Right
00:13:50.460 Three Kholaks
00:13:51.300 In one
00:13:51.740 If you follow
00:13:52.520 The opinion
00:13:52.920 You're finished
00:13:54.140 Yeah
00:13:54.520 But you see
00:13:55.120 In that culture
00:13:56.140 That's not going to
00:13:57.320 Fly that much
00:13:58.100 Right
00:13:58.280 Because people
00:13:58.920 Are going to
00:13:59.280 Interfere
00:14:00.180 There's certain
00:14:01.780 Appearances
00:14:03.020 That you have to
00:14:03.660 Maintain
00:14:04.000 Which is
00:14:04.380 Good and bad
00:14:05.360 At the same time
00:14:05.980 I think we need
00:14:06.640 To be very
00:14:07.220 Very specific
00:14:07.900 Okay
00:14:08.860 So
00:14:09.000 When we look at that
00:14:10.020 Interesting
00:14:10.380 May Allah bless you
00:14:10.920 Where do we draw the line
00:14:11.800 Because the thing is
00:14:12.460 It's like
00:14:12.760 I have like
00:14:13.820 I've seen
00:14:14.580 With the Asian community
00:14:15.380 Etc
00:14:15.700 This concept
00:14:17.200 With the Somali community
00:14:18.800 Like personally
00:14:19.560 Myself
00:14:20.200 I've realised that
00:14:21.700 They don't frown upon
00:14:22.820 Divorcees
00:14:23.440 Like they don't
00:14:24.140 It's like
00:14:24.840 It's calm
00:14:25.480 Like you marry a divorcee
00:14:26.480 You don't see that
00:14:27.440 With the Somali community
00:14:28.360 From what I've seen
00:14:29.060 Like with the Asians
00:14:30.240 I have seen it
00:14:31.200 You're from Iraq
00:14:32.180 Kurdistan
00:14:33.400 Kurdistan yeah
00:14:34.080 But you're on Iraq side
00:14:34.960 I'm Kurdistan as well
00:14:36.140 But Turkey side
00:14:36.680 Yeah okay
00:14:37.140 Cool
00:14:37.320 Yeah
00:14:38.340 So from your culture
00:14:40.080 Is there a problem with that?
00:14:41.880 Okay
00:14:42.200 Okay
00:14:42.720 So from your culture
00:14:43.960 Is it frowned upon divorcees?
00:14:46.280 Like especially a divorced woman
00:14:47.640 Because this is a reality
00:14:48.480 Let's be real here yeah
00:14:49.180 When a woman is divorced
00:14:50.600 It's not the same
00:14:51.400 When a man is divorced yeah
00:14:52.400 Okay in Islam
00:14:53.300 They're both divorced
00:14:54.040 Divorce is a divorce yeah
00:14:55.100 Divorcee is a divorcee
00:14:56.580 But the thing is
00:14:57.280 When it comes to
00:14:58.640 Not following Islam
00:14:59.660 And following your culture
00:15:00.420 As if like
00:15:01.440 Like I said
00:15:01.920 The woman becomes
00:15:02.660 Like tarnished
00:15:03.280 And I'm like
00:15:03.660 Where does this come from?
00:15:07.100 Sorry can I
00:15:07.860 Yes sister please
00:15:08.860 Yeah yeah
00:15:09.140 Something about what you just said
00:15:11.220 That the
00:15:12.920 The push that our culture gives us
00:15:14.940 Can be beneficial
00:15:15.840 It's a bit like
00:15:16.840 Say someone criticizes you
00:15:18.080 It's up to you
00:15:19.000 How you want to take it
00:15:19.800 Either you can get really offended
00:15:21.120 Or you can act on it
00:15:22.500 So
00:15:23.480 Even though
00:15:24.340 That is good
00:15:25.100 Our culture doesn't see it like that
00:15:27.320 And they don't portray it like that
00:15:28.500 Because
00:15:28.860 When you are young
00:15:29.780 Your parents
00:15:31.700 I mean I'm Pakistani
00:15:33.000 And so
00:15:33.860 I'm going to talk for my culture
00:15:35.000 They want you to
00:15:36.380 Live your life
00:15:37.780 According to their terms
00:15:39.460 So you're going to grow up
00:15:40.920 You're going to do all those things
00:15:41.740 You're going to get married
00:15:42.540 And you're going to
00:15:43.260 It's like a status thing as well
00:15:44.920 And it's like
00:15:45.480 If you are divorced
00:15:46.280 You're bringing shame upon the family
00:15:47.900 Exactly
00:15:48.340 So
00:15:49.380 I agree to that
00:15:50.120 Exactly
00:15:50.580 Yeah
00:15:51.180 Interesting
00:15:51.540 I just want to add the fact that
00:15:54.180 Very often women
00:15:55.560 Are double victim
00:15:56.920 They are victim from
00:15:58.100 I'm talking about the one
00:15:59.240 That's been left
00:15:59.900 Abundant
00:16:00.520 Victim of oppression
00:16:01.640 They are already victims
00:16:03.540 Of whatever traumatic event
00:16:05.800 They had to go through
00:16:06.820 But then
00:16:07.720 This victim
00:16:08.860 An accusation
00:16:10.140 Constant blame
00:16:10.940 It's like she's even guilty
00:16:12.460 For being a victim
00:16:13.440 Of a situation
00:16:14.760 I'm not talking about the one
00:16:17.620 That decided to leave
00:16:18.700 Family
00:16:19.360 For whatever reason
00:16:20.460 That seems
00:16:21.000 Superficial
00:16:22.020 I'm not talking about
00:16:23.020 This new trend
00:16:23.940 I'm talking about
00:16:24.860 Real sisters
00:16:25.620 That went through oppression
00:16:27.200 That have been left
00:16:27.980 Abundant by husbands
00:16:29.120 That think that
00:16:30.160 Maybe he could
00:16:31.160 Grab someone else
00:16:32.000 And just leave his wife and kids
00:16:33.280 I'm talking about those
00:16:34.640 Because divorces
00:16:35.560 Have different reasons
00:16:36.880 Different situations
00:16:37.760 I'm talking about
00:16:39.040 Sisters that are clear victims
00:16:40.640 Because
00:16:40.980 Everyone wants to
00:16:42.180 Job on the wagon
00:16:42.800 And all sisters are victims
00:16:44.500 And no
00:16:45.460 Sometimes sisters
00:16:46.340 Needs to take accountability
00:16:47.340 Sometimes they are
00:16:48.500 Responsible for their divorce
00:16:49.740 Thank you
00:16:50.000 Sometimes
00:16:51.020 They are divorcing
00:16:52.580 For the wrong reasons
00:16:53.680 But sometimes
00:16:55.100 And they initiate
00:16:56.400 Statistics show that
00:16:57.320 And we understand
00:16:58.580 It's in their nature
00:16:59.220 But even statistics show
00:17:00.900 Rather than problem solve
00:17:02.240 They will leave the marriage
00:17:03.840 Rather than trying to
00:17:05.180 I am not saying
00:17:06.080 That it's all the case of sisters
00:17:07.160 It's very important
00:17:07.980 We represent the real victims
00:17:09.320 Because Allah
00:17:10.380 Azza wa Jal
00:17:10.860 Has gave
00:17:11.460 A strength
00:17:12.540 A position to the husband
00:17:14.360 Rightfully so
00:17:15.200 And sometimes it's abused
00:17:16.660 It's very interesting
00:17:17.460 You know that
00:17:17.820 Because I was reading
00:17:18.340 Imam Qutabi's tafsir
00:17:19.380 So basically
00:17:20.040 You know there's this concept
00:17:20.740 Because we deal with
00:17:21.240 The non-Muslims etc
00:17:21.980 Like oh look at your religion
00:17:23.140 It's misogynist
00:17:23.920 Because a man
00:17:24.720 Can give talaq
00:17:25.800 But a woman can't
00:17:26.840 If you look into the
00:17:27.680 It's very interesting
00:17:28.620 What it says is that
00:17:29.200 In the Arabian peninsula
00:17:30.460 The Arab men
00:17:31.400 Used to abuse their wives
00:17:32.880 By
00:17:33.200 For example
00:17:34.360 I divorce you
00:17:35.180 Yeah
00:17:35.620 She goes and she says
00:17:36.700 Okay no problem
00:17:37.260 I want to move on
00:17:38.200 Nope I'll take you back
00:17:38.900 And there was no limit to it
00:17:40.640 And Allah set it to
00:17:42.800 Free talaqs
00:17:43.620 To keep the man in check
00:17:44.800 Because he knows
00:17:46.040 And check this out
00:17:46.860 This is how beautiful Islam is
00:17:48.100 If you look at it
00:17:48.540 Free talaqs is
00:17:50.220 To keep the man in check
00:17:51.320 Meaning
00:17:51.660 You can't stop it from moving on
00:17:53.500 You've got free
00:17:54.680 If you can't control yourself
00:17:55.960 And your emotion
00:17:56.460 And you let it be
00:17:57.020 Guess what
00:17:57.940 When you give the first talaq
00:17:59.720 What is the ruling
00:18:00.400 She has to go
00:18:01.820 After her idda period
00:18:02.920 Depends
00:18:03.740 She needs to go
00:18:05.240 Get married again
00:18:06.200 Obviously
00:18:07.460 Be married
00:18:08.080 And then divorce
00:18:09.000 Now for a man
00:18:09.700 This is very interesting
00:18:11.420 But if you look at it
00:18:11.900 Psychologically
00:18:12.380 Because for a man
00:18:13.420 To envision his wife
00:18:14.680 With somebody else
00:18:15.440 So for him
00:18:16.720 If he's giving
00:18:17.800 That last talaq
00:18:18.880 Yeah
00:18:19.240 Not less
00:18:20.400 Because at the end
00:18:21.360 They say two types of people
00:18:22.220 Don't learn
00:18:22.560 The one who's arrogant
00:18:23.180 And the one who's shy
00:18:23.760 So we're here to benefit people
00:18:25.060 Inshallah
00:18:25.320 I know it might be a bit
00:18:26.420 A thing but
00:18:26.800 Let's be real here
00:18:27.960 So for a man
00:18:29.460 He's thinking
00:18:30.020 If I'm giving this last talaq
00:18:31.440 What it means is the following
00:18:32.360 SubhanAllah
00:18:33.300 My wife is haram for me
00:18:34.500 And she will have to be
00:18:36.440 With another man
00:18:37.060 Which is talaq
00:18:37.520 There's nothing
00:18:37.920 What I can say
00:18:38.500 But
00:18:38.980 So that is put in place
00:18:43.420 So it keeps the man in check
00:18:44.500 To hold the man
00:18:44.760 Even though we can say
00:18:45.820 Sister
00:18:46.280 Yes the initiate divorce
00:18:47.480 But a real man
00:18:48.960 Talking about the alpha course
00:18:50.180 Which people need to sign up to
00:18:51.280 That you should be a leader
00:18:52.980 And control
00:18:53.480 And be like
00:18:53.980 Hold on a second
00:18:54.400 If she's emotional
00:18:55.040 I don't need to be emotional
00:18:56.040 Oh talaq
00:18:56.800 Okay talaq
00:18:57.600 Come on man
00:18:57.960 Be a real man
00:18:58.540 So in that aspect
00:18:59.780 It's very important for us
00:19:00.760 To understand that
00:19:01.540 That
00:19:02.080 Like you said
00:19:03.160 Our sisters can be
00:19:04.000 You know
00:19:04.440 Should be taking accountability
00:19:05.960 As well
00:19:06.460 But yeah
00:19:07.360 In an action
00:19:07.720 I just wanted to put that out there
00:19:08.800 Because it's a big misconception
00:19:09.740 And that talaq
00:19:10.700 Is a responsibility
00:19:11.580 You know
00:19:12.440 I just wanted
00:19:14.420 I just was talking about
00:19:15.460 The double shaming of the woman
00:19:16.560 Okay let's go
00:19:17.160 Because in your culture
00:19:18.680 What's your perspective
00:19:20.000 Should a woman be shamed
00:19:21.820 When it comes to
00:19:22.720 Being divorced
00:19:23.780 Would you
00:19:24.840 Would you
00:19:25.400 The topic is not
00:19:26.080 Would you marry
00:19:26.400 Divorce
00:19:26.700 But
00:19:26.960 Is in your culture
00:19:28.120 Is it frowned upon
00:19:28.940 Honestly
00:19:31.060 I'm not
00:19:32.000 I'm not like
00:19:32.680 Too well educated
00:19:33.720 In like my culture
00:19:35.600 Personally
00:19:36.020 But how is it
00:19:36.680 It's not about education
00:19:37.740 For your culture
00:19:39.000 When you're growing up
00:19:39.640 No I just
00:19:40.540 I personally think
00:19:41.820 You asked earlier
00:19:43.520 Why is divorce
00:19:44.980 Frowned upon
00:19:45.500 I don't think it's frowned upon
00:19:46.440 Because if something
00:19:47.460 That's happening so frequently
00:19:48.500 How can it be frowned upon
00:19:49.620 Okay
00:19:50.780 For example
00:19:51.300 Let me put it like this
00:19:52.060 If you went to your mother
00:19:53.700 Your dear mother
00:19:54.200 And said
00:19:54.520 I want to marry a sister
00:19:56.260 She's divorcee
00:19:57.700 Yeah
00:19:57.860 Bro
00:19:58.260 In the Asian community bro
00:20:00.380 They'll say
00:20:01.020 Hell no
00:20:01.740 She's a
00:20:03.000 She's finished
00:20:04.560 So your question is
00:20:05.240 Marrying someone that's
00:20:06.120 Yes
00:20:06.600 Like
00:20:07.060 Is divorce frowned upon
00:20:08.360 Yeah
00:20:08.560 Wait
00:20:09.600 Is divorce frowned upon
00:20:10.440 Or is marrying someone
00:20:11.180 That's divorce frowned upon
00:20:12.060 What's your question
00:20:12.860 Yeah
00:20:13.100 Sorry
00:20:14.000 That's two different questions
00:20:15.980 Okay
00:20:16.280 Go with the second one
00:20:17.460 I should be the host
00:20:17.660 Yeah you should
00:20:18.520 Second one
00:20:20.440 So
00:20:21.180 Marrying someone who's
00:20:22.720 Yes
00:20:23.140 Would you
00:20:23.820 Marrying someone who's
00:20:24.660 Okay cool
00:20:25.380 From a personal point of view
00:20:26.340 Personal and cultural
00:20:27.460 Okay
00:20:27.800 I can't
00:20:29.100 Oh
00:20:29.340 Okay
00:20:29.840 From a personal point of view
00:20:30.980 I'll be honest
00:20:31.520 I will find it very difficult
00:20:32.940 To marry somebody
00:20:33.800 Who's divorced
00:20:34.600 I'm sorry
00:20:35.620 I'm sorry
00:20:36.040 Please
00:20:36.400 I'm just waiting for someone
00:20:37.040 To press the button
00:20:37.560 No no no
00:20:38.260 Don't press
00:20:38.600 Don't press
00:20:38.620 Don't press
00:20:38.800 Don't press
00:20:38.960 Yeah
00:20:39.300 Me
00:20:40.000 Me
00:20:40.340 Me personally
00:20:41.680 Is because
00:20:42.260 Most men will be like
00:20:43.120 Yeah
00:20:43.540 Yeah it's normal
00:20:44.040 And the main reason
00:20:44.780 Is
00:20:44.960 The main reason
00:20:45.340 Why
00:20:45.500 The main
00:20:46.300 Okay
00:20:46.840 Please
00:20:47.260 The main reason
00:20:47.960 Is
00:20:48.220 Is because
00:20:48.680 Man they're gonna kill me
00:20:51.500 For this
00:20:51.700 No no no
00:20:52.240 Bit of truth
00:20:52.780 Brother
00:20:53.020 Oh yeah
00:20:53.800 Bit of truth
00:20:54.320 Alright guys calm down
00:20:55.100 Basically
00:20:55.600 What
00:20:56.400 What it is
00:20:57.200 Is
00:20:57.560 I will find it
00:20:58.900 Very very hard
00:20:59.660 I will find it
00:21:01.020 Very very hard
00:21:01.440 To be with somebody
00:21:02.160 Knowing that
00:21:02.760 She's been with another man
00:21:03.760 Now before any of you
00:21:05.720 Try to say
00:21:06.040 Oh that's insecurities
00:21:06.820 That's our third topic
00:21:08.180 By the way
00:21:08.460 We're gonna come to that
00:21:08.960 But we're talking about
00:21:09.760 Somebody who's been married
00:21:11.140 Honorably married
00:21:13.060 I think
00:21:13.380 Yeah
00:21:13.700 Married
00:21:14.200 And
00:21:14.400 It's very important
00:21:16.040 That we use the
00:21:16.560 Yeah yeah
00:21:17.480 It doesn't matter
00:21:18.120 Marriage is
00:21:18.980 Okay okay
00:21:19.460 For men's maybe
00:21:20.260 Okay
00:21:20.720 But as Muslims
00:21:21.380 It does matter
00:21:22.060 Even if they've been married
00:21:22.940 Hala away or whatever
00:21:24.200 Just knowing that
00:21:24.920 She's been with another man
00:21:25.900 Just like kind of makes me feel
00:21:26.980 I'll connect to something
00:21:28.700 That's a man's fitra
00:21:29.320 Okay
00:21:29.580 That's some of the sisters
00:21:30.200 That I'm not
00:21:30.640 I don't remember who
00:21:31.500 I'm gonna go to
00:21:31.920 For him after that
00:21:32.580 Yeah
00:21:32.720 So different cultures
00:21:34.360 Raise different men
00:21:35.700 Different mothers
00:21:36.360 Raise different men
00:21:37.140 Okay
00:21:37.340 And some of the men
00:21:38.600 Are raised by their mothers
00:21:39.680 And we call them
00:21:40.500 Mama's boy
00:21:41.280 And these guys
00:21:43.080 Will reflect a certain
00:21:44.680 Insecurity as they are
00:21:45.880 When they grow up
00:21:47.120 They're adults
00:21:47.720 Certain cultures again
00:21:49.600 Will have it more than others
00:21:51.820 And what happens with
00:21:53.620 Can I interject that?
00:21:55.140 Yes
00:21:55.320 I'm very sorry
00:21:56.140 If you want to
00:21:56.780 You press the button
00:21:57.420 And after it finishes
00:21:58.220 No no it's okay
00:21:58.940 Go ahead
00:21:59.240 No let me finish your point first
00:22:00.660 And then please
00:22:01.020 It's just on
00:22:01.480 That's a precise
00:22:02.660 Point when he said
00:22:03.780 Like there will be
00:22:04.800 Mommy boys
00:22:05.340 And they will reflect
00:22:06.160 Insecurities
00:22:06.720 I know sons
00:22:08.320 From single mothers
00:22:09.420 Family that actually
00:22:10.780 Grown very mature
00:22:11.780 Early age
00:22:12.480 And took the father's
00:22:13.400 Place
00:22:14.180 So they are
00:22:15.180 Developing skills
00:22:16.560 Allahu maabari
00:22:17.200 Compared to
00:22:17.980 Maybe other sons
00:22:19.060 In a normal family
00:22:20.180 That's not what I'm saying
00:22:21.300 That's not what I'm saying
00:22:21.320 I'm saying that mothers
00:22:22.380 Have trained them
00:22:24.240 To be
00:22:24.700 So dependent
00:22:26.060 And so weak
00:22:28.060 Within a marriage
00:22:28.920 I'm talking as a single mother
00:22:29.880 I'm teaching my sons
00:22:31.120 Sorry
00:22:31.680 I might have been
00:22:33.360 Unclear
00:22:34.000 What I'm saying
00:22:34.620 What I'm saying is
00:22:34.820 Within certain cultures
00:22:36.060 Where there's a marriage
00:22:38.440 You're talking about
00:22:39.260 Mother and father
00:22:40.300 Raising a boy
00:22:42.420 The mother herself
00:22:43.540 I didn't say a single mother
00:22:44.660 She's within a married
00:22:45.980 Environment
00:22:46.820 She'll raise a man
00:22:48.280 That is extremely weak
00:22:50.320 And insecure
00:22:50.820 And those insecurities
00:22:52.500 Will lead to
00:22:54.500 The way they think
00:22:57.640 About women
00:22:58.140 Be it when they marry them
00:22:59.360 Whether this woman
00:23:00.480 Is a virgin
00:23:01.140 Or previously married
00:23:03.200 And so on
00:23:04.000 So other cultures
00:23:05.700 Will be a bit different
00:23:06.540 There's two types
00:23:07.660 Of insecurities
00:23:08.320 There's rational insecurities
00:23:10.020 Such as for example
00:23:11.720 A woman shows
00:23:12.960 A predisposition
00:23:14.460 To being very hypersexual
00:23:15.840 Very loose
00:23:16.680 And so on
00:23:17.220 But then the man
00:23:18.140 Is going to obviously
00:23:18.780 Be insecure about that
00:23:19.820 And then there's
00:23:20.760 Insecurities
00:23:21.320 That are not really grounded
00:23:22.280 It's basically
00:23:23.140 They reflect your own
00:23:25.180 Mistakes and problems
00:23:26.580 Right
00:23:27.320 Such as being raised
00:23:28.700 Being very insecure
00:23:29.820 Always very dependent
00:23:31.440 On a woman
00:23:32.120 Very close to your mother
00:23:33.880 I mean for God's sake
00:23:35.480 I have clients
00:23:36.080 Who still sleep
00:23:37.000 In their mother's bed
00:23:37.740 When they don't feel good
00:23:38.700 Well
00:23:39.420 Okay
00:23:39.880 Of course
00:23:40.620 The wives won't like that
00:23:42.000 Crazy
00:23:42.260 I'm sorry
00:23:43.140 I mean
00:23:43.500 But
00:23:43.760 No no no
00:23:44.160 So how do you react
00:23:45.680 How do you react
00:23:46.220 Right
00:23:46.780 So
00:23:47.020 The way you reacted
00:23:47.540 So
00:23:47.980 This
00:23:48.860 So this
00:23:49.800 If you look at
00:23:50.720 For example
00:23:51.260 The Arab culture
00:23:52.120 Let's say at the time
00:23:54.440 The Prophet
00:23:54.700 So did the Prophet
00:23:56.140 Marry
00:23:56.840 Previously married women
00:23:58.020 Yes
00:23:58.320 Yes
00:23:58.640 Was the Prophet
00:23:59.600 An insecure man
00:24:00.600 No
00:24:00.980 He was very secure
00:24:01.980 Meaning that
00:24:03.520 Meaning that
00:24:03.540 You know
00:24:03.960 Okay
00:24:04.640 I know who I am
00:24:05.740 I'm going to marry this woman
00:24:06.860 Yeah
00:24:07.040 She's had another man before
00:24:08.980 But
00:24:10.440 I know why
00:24:11.960 Other Sahaba
00:24:13.040 Let's say
00:24:13.420 People will say
00:24:14.120 Well he was the Prophet
00:24:15.060 Okay
00:24:15.860 It's true
00:24:18.020 Other Sahaba
00:24:19.220 Right
00:24:20.000 Did they say
00:24:20.980 They were like
00:24:21.320 Oh man
00:24:21.900 I don't know
00:24:22.560 Right
00:24:24.480 So today
00:24:25.800 21st century men
00:24:27.820 Yeah
00:24:28.280 They will think that
00:24:29.580 Twice
00:24:29.900 Twice
00:24:30.380 Four
00:24:30.720 Five
00:24:31.120 Ten times
00:24:31.720 Why
00:24:32.060 Can you tell our views
00:24:33.040 Where is that
00:24:33.440 Because sisters
00:24:34.100 Because there are
00:24:34.900 Two types of insecurities
00:24:35.780 Yes
00:24:36.080 And it's hard to tell
00:24:37.120 Which one is it
00:24:37.800 So sisters
00:24:38.380 If you're watching this
00:24:38.960 Please disclaimer
00:24:39.400 You know why
00:24:39.820 Stay there with me
00:24:40.620 It's true
00:24:40.920 Please listen to him
00:24:42.300 With an open mind
00:24:43.180 Okay
00:24:43.620 He's trying to make you
00:24:44.420 Understand how
00:24:45.080 As men
00:24:45.600 Where we are coming from
00:24:47.040 Please
00:24:47.240 Nobody's attacking you
00:24:48.040 Please understand us
00:24:49.020 Carry on
00:24:49.640 I have to
00:24:49.980 I'm so sorry
00:24:50.400 No no problem
00:24:51.140 So men will have
00:24:52.820 As I said
00:24:53.260 Two types of insecurities
00:24:54.420 Yeah
00:24:54.880 And it's hard to
00:24:55.920 Differentiate
00:24:56.580 Which one is it
00:24:57.500 Am I insecure
00:24:58.080 Because of myself
00:24:58.820 Because of how I look
00:25:00.320 Most guys
00:25:01.680 That come to us
00:25:02.400 They'll say
00:25:02.720 Man but
00:25:03.300 How can
00:25:04.120 Someone have
00:25:05.100 Touched my wife
00:25:05.700 What if he
00:25:06.320 Sorry
00:25:06.800 Touched her better
00:25:07.760 And I did
00:25:08.240 That's a huge problem
00:25:09.500 For a man
00:25:09.940 Right
00:25:10.860 In the back of their mind
00:25:14.240 They cannot
00:25:14.920 Conceptualize
00:25:16.040 That someone has
00:25:17.240 Been with this wife
00:25:18.940 Or with this woman
00:25:19.620 Before
00:25:19.940 It's very very difficult
00:25:20.800 I've tested this
00:25:21.580 In Birmingham University
00:25:22.780 For example
00:25:23.140 I had a huge
00:25:24.020 Audience
00:25:25.120 Right
00:25:25.380 And I said
00:25:25.740 Of course
00:25:27.060 Together say
00:25:27.980 Guys
00:25:28.320 Will you marry a woman
00:25:29.580 Who's had a past
00:25:30.760 Has made Toba
00:25:31.480 And she's now
00:25:32.740 Practicing
00:25:33.160 I said
00:25:34.100 All the guys
00:25:34.760 Together
00:25:35.020 One, two, three
00:25:35.740 They all said
00:25:36.080 No
00:25:36.480 I said
00:25:37.280 Sisters
00:25:37.600 Will you marry a guy
00:25:38.660 Who has had a past
00:25:39.980 But has made Toba
00:25:40.740 Practice enough
00:25:41.380 One, two, three
00:25:42.000 They all said
00:25:42.400 Yes
00:25:43.000 So it's insecurities
00:25:44.780 We do agree
00:25:45.760 Guys are more insecure
00:25:47.480 Of course
00:25:48.100 In that sense
00:25:49.580 No, but
00:25:49.880 What's it
00:25:50.720 Insecure
00:25:51.220 But there's two things
00:25:51.880 As I said
00:25:52.320 There's rational
00:25:53.160 Insecurities
00:25:54.100 Which mean
00:25:54.920 They see something
00:25:56.620 So let's say
00:25:57.240 This woman's been married
00:25:58.140 Right before
00:25:58.800 Yeah
00:25:59.220 She will say something
00:26:00.420 She'll behave in a certain way
00:26:02.060 That causes him
00:26:03.120 To say
00:26:03.940 Yeah
00:26:05.120 I'm not very happy with this
00:26:06.420 I am insecure
00:26:07.120 Because she said certain things
00:26:08.560 Women can say one sentence
00:26:10.560 One sentence
00:26:11.880 And she'll emasculate you
00:26:13.220 In one sentence
00:26:13.960 Wow, wow, wow
00:26:14.440 What's a guy going to say
00:26:15.940 To a woman
00:26:16.660 I mean
00:26:17.560 He might say
00:26:18.100 Somebody who calls
00:26:18.680 Insecurities
00:26:19.440 Oh yeah
00:26:20.120 He can destroy her femininity
00:26:21.460 As well
00:26:21.840 Yeah
00:26:22.140 But it's not
00:26:22.760 Maybe looks wise
00:26:24.060 It will
00:26:24.340 Maybe on the looks more
00:26:26.140 Honestly it will
00:26:26.440 Okay
00:26:26.820 It's on the different matters
00:26:28.240 I agree with that
00:26:28.980 It's interesting
00:26:30.140 I agree with you
00:26:30.480 But
00:26:31.060 So that's the rational
00:26:32.960 Security
00:26:33.260 Like for example
00:26:33.960 She spends a lot of time
00:26:36.260 Outside of the house
00:26:37.200 Or with her friends
00:26:38.060 Or she's asking for
00:26:39.200 I don't know
00:26:39.660 She's still in touch
00:26:40.420 With her ex
00:26:41.940 For example
00:26:42.400 Straight
00:26:43.240 Straight
00:26:43.620 It happens
00:26:45.220 It happens
00:26:45.740 So the guy
00:26:46.380 Divorce happens as well
00:26:47.840 If the woman is divorced
00:26:49.420 And mashallah
00:26:50.540 She's praying
00:26:51.080 Fasting
00:26:51.640 Or you know
00:26:52.280 Proper hijab
00:26:53.120 There's nothing there
00:26:54.300 The guy's like
00:26:55.060 Super obsessed
00:26:56.540 You know
00:26:56.840 Where have you been
00:26:57.480 What are you doing
00:26:58.100 Always calling
00:26:59.360 Every two minutes
00:27:00.960 You know there's guys
00:27:01.460 Who can't go to work man
00:27:02.400 They go to work
00:27:03.220 They call me
00:27:03.700 They're like
00:27:03.940 Brother I don't know
00:27:04.840 I think my wife
00:27:05.680 You know
00:27:06.160 That is an insecurity
00:27:07.020 Disconnect the internet
00:27:07.820 That is an insecurity
00:27:09.560 The one guy
00:27:10.360 Disconnects the internet
00:27:11.260 Before he goes to work
00:27:12.320 And that's a self fulfilled prophecy
00:27:13.580 Where if they carry you on
00:27:15.080 They're going to
00:27:15.440 Destroy their marriage
00:27:16.360 It's interesting
00:27:16.960 You know
00:27:17.360 So the woman's going to
00:27:18.020 Look at him
00:27:18.400 Like what's wrong
00:27:18.940 With this boy
00:27:19.380 You know
00:27:19.900 Literally
00:27:20.580 It causes a lot of problems
00:27:21.860 Not only that
00:27:22.280 I think it'll put a woman off
00:27:23.560 If a man is behaving
00:27:24.380 In that manner
00:27:24.820 You know
00:27:25.200 Because it shows no security
00:27:26.240 But deep inside
00:27:27.500 That's going to be
00:27:28.460 Our next topic as well
00:27:29.200 But yeah
00:27:30.200 Yes please
00:27:32.100 Sister Fahima
00:27:32.560 Yeah I think I agree
00:27:33.980 With everything you're saying
00:27:34.780 Obviously
00:27:35.240 And don't forget
00:27:36.480 He said that
00:27:37.240 He said that he would not
00:27:38.060 Marry a divorce
00:27:38.620 Yeah I'm going to
00:27:39.180 Get to that too
00:27:39.840 But I'm not saying
00:27:40.680 What I said was right
00:27:41.940 I'm just saying
00:27:42.720 At least you admit it
00:27:44.080 I'm not saying I'm wrong
00:27:45.840 But I'm just saying
00:27:46.240 I'm not trying to say
00:27:46.840 That you're insecure
00:27:47.280 It's just that
00:27:48.120 It's hard to differentiate
00:27:49.240 It's hard to tell
00:27:50.860 Like what is it
00:27:51.460 Is it just this
00:27:52.040 Insecurity
00:27:52.540 I wouldn't call it insecurity
00:27:53.460 The thing is
00:27:53.980 I wouldn't say
00:27:54.700 I'm insecure
00:27:55.720 I would say
00:27:57.960 It's just like
00:27:58.860 I'm not saying you're insecure
00:28:00.680 No no no
00:28:01.320 It's a hira
00:28:02.400 No no
00:28:03.100 It's how we're created
00:28:04.360 That's how man is created
00:28:05.900 The Prophet Sallallahu al-Sem
00:28:06.460 Was the most one
00:28:07.920 Who had hira
00:28:08.820 No no
00:28:09.300 But let's understand something
00:28:10.460 Our next topic
00:28:12.040 The issue is here
00:28:13.140 Is that somebody
00:28:13.800 Who was married before
00:28:14.600 And somebody who may have
00:28:15.520 Committed a sin
00:28:16.200 Even that
00:28:17.460 I just want to give
00:28:17.840 Some disclaimers
00:28:18.340 Because there's people
00:28:18.900 Watching here
00:28:19.340 And we don't want to
00:28:19.920 Make them go lose hope
00:28:21.220 There might be a sister
00:28:23.020 Who may have committed a sin
00:28:24.080 And the thing is
00:28:26.380 That person might be
00:28:27.260 A better person
00:28:28.000 Than many sisters out there
00:28:28.980 That haven't
00:28:29.400 Let's make that very clear
00:28:30.280 Because we don't want to be
00:28:32.180 Like because many people
00:28:33.020 Watching
00:28:33.360 People come from jahidi
00:28:34.380 They've come new to Islam
00:28:35.580 Whatever it may be
00:28:36.520 Even if they
00:28:36.940 Whatever it may be
00:28:37.500 So we want to make it clear
00:28:38.640 We are not making you feel
00:28:39.540 Like you are worthless
00:28:40.360 No
00:28:40.680 Because Allah says in the Quran
00:28:41.600 That a person who fornicates
00:28:43.800 Would only want to be
00:28:44.660 With a person who fornicates
00:28:45.540 The scholars say that
00:28:46.200 This doesn't necessarily mean
00:28:47.020 That the person is a virgin
00:28:48.060 Meaning that
00:28:48.960 You might have a sister
00:28:50.160 Or a brother
00:28:50.660 That may have committed sin
00:28:51.920 And they repented
00:28:52.660 And they could come and say
00:28:53.840 I want a virgin
00:28:54.440 And it's their haq
00:28:55.220 To want that
00:28:56.040 So just to understand
00:28:56.900 But
00:28:57.460 Just to make something clear
00:28:58.960 There are consequences
00:28:59.920 Which is going to be
00:29:00.420 Our next topic
00:29:01.020 Is the consequences the same
00:29:02.960 Of a woman having
00:29:04.420 This many sexual partners
00:29:05.380 Than a man
00:29:05.800 No it's not
00:29:06.680 It is far worse for a woman
00:29:07.840 But that's a different topic
00:29:08.600 Let's stick to this topic
00:29:09.700 InshaAllah
00:29:09.960 Sister Fahima
00:29:10.440 Or was it
00:29:11.140 Sister Sol
00:29:11.500 You were saying something
00:29:12.040 Sorry
00:29:12.280 Well I do think that
00:29:15.460 At the end of the day
00:29:16.640 A lot of Muslim men
00:29:17.640 Would not marry
00:29:19.100 A divorcee
00:29:21.140 Whether it's for culture
00:29:22.480 Whether it's for
00:29:23.140 On personal reasons
00:29:24.180 Whether it's security
00:29:24.920 Or not security
00:29:25.580 Because they just have
00:29:26.580 This image
00:29:27.200 From a very young age
00:29:28.340 Or generational
00:29:29.380 Sort of ways of thinking
00:29:30.820 That it's not really for them
00:29:33.100 And they do degrade women
00:29:34.380 Who are actually divorced
00:29:35.500 So that's what it is
00:29:36.860 As much as they don't
00:29:37.560 Want to admit it
00:29:38.140 They do feel that
00:29:38.980 And they rather choose somebody
00:29:40.400 Who has not been in that way
00:29:42.820 But maybe somebody
00:29:43.620 Who was actually married
00:29:45.280 And divorced themselves before
00:29:46.720 May have an experience
00:29:48.160 To show that
00:29:49.060 Actually no I understand
00:29:50.100 Where she's coming from
00:29:50.940 And these things can happen
00:29:53.140 So that could also be
00:29:55.340 A reason
00:29:55.920 Because maybe young men
00:29:57.120 Who've never been
00:29:57.840 You know married before
00:29:58.820 They're not going to choose that
00:29:59.760 And you know
00:30:00.440 That's what you know
00:30:01.660 Happens most of the time
00:30:03.060 But I do feel that
00:30:04.500 As much as our religion
00:30:06.020 And Dean teaches us
00:30:07.200 In this particular way
00:30:08.000 Our culture is really
00:30:08.980 Letting us down
00:30:09.600 Because I know now
00:30:10.500 Sisters that I mentioned before
00:30:11.660 Who are actually turning to
00:30:13.100 Non-Muslim men
00:30:14.300 Because they are more accepting
00:30:15.400 Of divorced women
00:30:17.180 And that's really a problem
00:30:18.700 It doesn't mean those marriages work
00:30:19.540 If you look at this
00:30:20.540 That doesn't necessarily
00:30:21.080 Regardless of it being
00:30:22.660 Working
00:30:23.060 Well I can get away from that
00:30:25.440 And I know it's haram
00:30:26.580 It's
00:30:27.160 You're committing to Zinnah
00:30:29.020 But even still
00:30:29.920 They might just convert them
00:30:31.000 For the namesake
00:30:31.680 Oh yeah yeah yeah
00:30:32.240 Okay so that's what
00:30:33.560 I'm trying to say
00:30:34.100 But you know
00:30:34.600 They're just doing it
00:30:35.640 As it is
00:30:36.840 As some fact
00:30:37.620 This is a good point
00:30:39.120 To mention here
00:30:39.880 When it comes to
00:30:41.540 This idea of
00:30:43.200 Previously married women
00:30:44.800 Or women have had
00:30:45.560 Sexual partners
00:30:46.280 Why do we put them
00:30:49.200 In the same category
00:30:50.100 I'm really
00:30:50.560 Yeah no it's totally different
00:30:51.700 Which category
00:30:52.220 Say that again
00:30:52.640 The one that's
00:30:53.640 I'm going to stick to
00:30:54.640 Marriage
00:30:54.940 Yeah I agree
00:30:56.180 I agree with you by the way
00:30:56.940 I don't think they should be
00:30:57.660 In the same relationship
00:30:58.720 Halal
00:30:59.400 Halal sexual partners
00:31:00.000 Halal and haram
00:31:00.680 Okay
00:31:01.100 Meaning marriage
00:31:02.640 See
00:31:03.980 Obviously there's something
00:31:05.500 That's going on
00:31:06.320 In our society
00:31:07.320 Today
00:31:07.600 It's very common
00:31:08.420 In the Muslim
00:31:09.220 Social media
00:31:10.500 Circle
00:31:11.440 The red pill
00:31:12.060 Yeah
00:31:12.720 Right
00:31:13.400 A lot of men
00:31:14.440 Young men
00:31:14.860 Consume the red pill
00:31:15.720 They watch this content
00:31:17.580 But that's all they talk about
00:31:18.760 Is about previous sexual partners
00:31:20.220 The sexual double standard
00:31:21.560 And so on
00:31:22.560 And yes
00:31:23.380 There's a lot of truth
00:31:24.320 In some of the
00:31:25.120 Signs that they quote
00:31:26.540 From sociology
00:31:27.840 And anthropology
00:31:28.780 And all those studies
00:31:29.680 Right
00:31:29.900 But
00:31:30.840 If you look at
00:31:32.900 Their approach
00:31:33.760 And their philosophy
00:31:34.580 Yeah
00:31:34.960 They usually will
00:31:36.560 Look down upon
00:31:37.540 A woman who's had
00:31:38.700 A previous marriage
00:31:39.980 They talk about
00:31:40.900 Care bonding
00:31:41.500 They talk about
00:31:42.320 The alpha widow
00:31:42.960 Body count
00:31:43.620 They talk about
00:31:44.180 Body count
00:31:44.700 And so on
00:31:45.000 There is some truth
00:31:46.960 There is some truth
00:31:47.820 When it comes to the
00:31:48.660 Fitrah of a man
00:31:49.980 Yes
00:31:50.340 Like the man is not
00:31:52.820 Like the woman
00:31:53.300 There's a totally
00:31:54.040 Totally
00:31:54.260 And we'll talk about that
00:31:55.100 But
00:31:55.740 It becomes a black or white thing
00:31:57.720 Right
00:31:58.120 And there's so many nuances
00:31:59.060 Again
00:31:59.400 When we go back to the Quran
00:32:00.520 And Sunnah
00:32:00.960 You find that
00:32:02.840 Okay well
00:32:03.400 What about the Sahaba
00:32:05.300 Who are the best
00:32:05.960 Like how come they did it
00:32:07.420 What was
00:32:07.940 What was there
00:32:09.220 That they were able to do
00:32:11.380 Okay
00:32:12.580 That they were able
00:32:13.500 To overcome this
00:32:14.640 But they were
00:32:15.160 Living in a different
00:32:16.060 In a whole different world
00:32:17.180 A whole different world
00:32:18.620 Because now
00:32:19.160 You're dealing with
00:32:20.260 Some mad stuff
00:32:20.920 No no
00:32:21.860 But see that's what
00:32:22.460 I'm trying to say though
00:32:23.180 Is that you can go
00:32:24.580 This or that
00:32:25.500 You need to analyze
00:32:26.260 I agree with you
00:32:26.980 There's a lot of sisters
00:32:27.940 Who have had
00:32:29.480 Certain paths
00:32:30.320 Yeah
00:32:30.820 And they're not good
00:32:32.180 But they're
00:32:33.460 It's very clear
00:32:34.380 That they're not good
00:32:35.200 And then there's a lot
00:32:35.880 Of sisters
00:32:36.320 Who have had
00:32:37.100 Had marriages before
00:32:38.720 And they're good
00:32:40.440 Right
00:32:41.240 Maybe a sister
00:32:42.020 Who's been divorced
00:32:42.820 She'll recognize
00:32:44.700 The goodness in you
00:32:45.880 Because of the problems
00:32:47.300 That she had in the past
00:32:48.040 And she sees the good man
00:32:48.700 She's like
00:32:48.880 Man you are so
00:32:50.060 Compared to what I've had before
00:32:51.480 True
00:32:51.660 Thank you
00:32:52.100 And this is where
00:32:52.760 We're going to be
00:32:53.120 Our next topic
00:32:53.540 Is going to be about
00:32:54.000 The divorce
00:32:54.440 But before we come to that
00:32:55.500 That's the healing bit
00:32:56.200 And the divorce
00:32:56.580 The benefits
00:32:57.080 Like there's benefits
00:32:57.820 That come out of divorce
00:32:58.460 As well
00:32:59.120 No just the benefit
00:33:00.080 Of marrying
00:33:00.640 Divorce sisters
00:33:01.900 And I want to
00:33:03.340 Just insist on the point
00:33:04.800 Mashallah
00:33:05.080 That our brother here
00:33:06.200 Mentioned the really
00:33:07.740 Big danger
00:33:08.540 We have sisters
00:33:09.640 Danger with feminism
00:33:10.940 But we have the brothers
00:33:12.640 As well
00:33:13.280 Danger with the red pill
00:33:15.420 Yes
00:33:15.800 It's not based on the sunnah
00:33:17.040 100%
00:33:17.560 They are talking down
00:33:18.680 On women
00:33:20.020 Being divorce
00:33:20.880 And talking in the body
00:33:21.600 How can we even compare
00:33:23.260 Something that is haram
00:33:24.760 And something that is halal
00:33:26.080 You are talking about
00:33:26.800 The sisters
00:33:27.340 That went through
00:33:28.160 Halal relationship
00:33:29.280 The Islamic way
00:33:30.760 She didn't choose
00:33:32.480 Maybe her situation
00:33:33.340 She'd been left
00:33:35.100 And now she has to be
00:33:36.800 Insulted by the brothers
00:33:37.820 Of her own community
00:33:38.660 True
00:33:39.360 But even in Islamic perspective
00:33:40.820 There's two angles
00:33:41.720 Number one
00:33:42.280 A sister
00:33:42.840 From a sister angle
00:33:44.920 That a sister
00:33:45.880 Who has committed a sin
00:33:46.760 Before
00:33:47.400 So it's not even marriage
00:33:48.800 In Islam
00:33:49.780 To bring that sin
00:33:51.580 It's
00:33:52.460 We're talking about Islam
00:33:54.240 Yeah
00:33:54.440 And then the second thing
00:33:55.680 Even putting the sin aside
00:33:56.720 There's still sisters
00:33:57.600 That have taken khula
00:33:58.320 Five times
00:33:59.040 No no
00:33:59.660 I know
00:34:00.060 Is that the same
00:34:00.520 As someone who's been
00:34:01.260 Divorced once
00:34:01.980 It's not
00:34:02.440 So we need to look at it
00:34:03.700 True
00:34:04.140 Why is she taking khula so much
00:34:05.920 100%
00:34:06.500 But what I'm saying
00:34:07.020 She has five different partners
00:34:08.200 Exactly
00:34:08.820 But just so
00:34:09.940 Because people who are watching
00:34:10.820 They don't lose hope
00:34:11.760 I just need to touch on it
00:34:13.220 Because there might be people
00:34:13.780 Who have sinned
00:34:14.820 And they're like
00:34:15.100 I don't deserve anything
00:34:16.020 Look look
00:34:16.600 We're not saying that
00:34:17.020 We're saying you repented
00:34:17.720 You're a new person
00:34:18.320 Etc
00:34:18.620 We'll come to the dynamics
00:34:19.960 Of how it impacts a woman
00:34:21.520 More than a man
00:34:22.120 But yeah
00:34:23.200 Like you said
00:34:23.860 For example
00:34:24.200 When it comes to
00:34:24.640 Issue of divorce
00:34:25.080 Like me personally
00:34:25.900 When it came to my
00:34:26.540 Seeking marriage
00:34:27.620 Yeah
00:34:27.940 There was
00:34:29.140 Like I've mentioned this before
00:34:30.020 There was two sisters
00:34:30.740 Who both were single mothers
00:34:32.200 And wallahi
00:34:33.360 I wasn't married before
00:34:34.180 I wasn't saying
00:34:34.660 Oh this woman
00:34:35.220 This is my second wife
00:34:36.240 No
00:34:36.640 I was just saying
00:34:37.380 For example
00:34:37.780 That I was looking to get married
00:34:38.660 I got to know both of them
00:34:40.240 Yeah
00:34:40.740 And it didn't work out
00:34:42.380 Yeah
00:34:42.740 Not for
00:34:43.120 Oh she was a single mother
00:34:44.020 Or she was divorced
00:34:44.420 Allah is my witness
00:34:45.640 And if somebody's watching this
00:34:47.120 And like
00:34:47.380 Oh yeah
00:34:47.960 You know
00:34:48.280 Ali's doing it to get
00:34:49.080 Brownie points
00:34:50.480 I don't care
00:34:51.160 Allah is my witness
00:34:51.640 I know
00:34:52.000 Wallahi
00:34:52.600 I considered marry them
00:34:53.580 And I had no problem
00:34:54.940 Like to me
00:34:55.740 It was like
00:34:56.060 Okay
00:34:56.280 Three kids might be too much for me
00:34:57.800 Two kids
00:34:58.300 Okay
00:34:58.680 To me personally
00:34:59.760 Yeah
00:35:00.020 But the point is this
00:35:01.320 I had no problem
00:35:02.100 As long as
00:35:02.940 They're practicing
00:35:03.860 There are certain qualities
00:35:04.880 That I look for bro
00:35:05.560 I had no issue
00:35:06.420 With them being divorced
00:35:07.260 Or not
00:35:08.140 But like I said before
00:35:08.940 I was saying
00:35:09.620 With the Asian community bro
00:35:10.900 It's madness
00:35:11.600 Come on
00:35:14.180 Come on
00:35:14.400 A bit of truth bro
00:35:15.120 Press the button
00:35:15.640 Press the button
00:35:16.280 No no
00:35:16.900 No one's pressing it
00:35:17.580 Press it button please
00:35:18.180 No
00:35:18.680 No just press it
00:35:19.320 I only get one chance
00:35:20.180 I don't do that for that
00:35:20.720 Okay go on
00:35:21.240 I'm waiting for a good moment
00:35:22.340 Go on
00:35:22.700 No but like
00:35:23.380 Some guys
00:35:24.240 Their past
00:35:24.960 Depends on the decision
00:35:26.220 What do you mean
00:35:27.280 Their past is so
00:35:27.760 So
00:35:28.360 Obviously
00:35:29.700 I don't want to talk about
00:35:30.640 Nobody's past
00:35:31.100 But I'm saying
00:35:31.500 For example
00:35:32.400 Like my past
00:35:33.220 I'm a good boy
00:35:34.680 Do you know what I mean
00:35:35.760 May Allah bless you
00:35:36.480 Yeah
00:35:36.680 May Allah bless you
00:35:37.500 You're a red gem
00:35:38.160 Yeah
00:35:38.640 Speak to her wife
00:35:39.900 Amina
00:35:40.180 Tell her
00:35:40.540 I'm a diamond
00:35:41.500 You're a diamond
00:35:42.240 Sister Amina
00:35:42.760 Diamond in the dirt
00:35:43.520 Do you know what I mean
00:35:44.020 That was a joke by the way
00:35:46.020 Sorry
00:35:46.160 So yeah
00:35:47.360 So someone like me
00:35:49.080 I'll be honest
00:35:49.600 Someone like me
00:35:50.120 Who didn't mess around
00:35:50.840 With girls
00:35:51.240 Alhamdulillah
00:35:51.840 So
00:35:53.620 That's probably why
00:35:55.000 My mindset is that
00:35:55.800 But then
00:35:56.960 If there was a guy before
00:35:59.080 If there was a guy before
00:36:00.320 Who
00:36:00.620 Was messing around
00:36:01.840 With girls
00:36:02.300 And then
00:36:03.580 Do you know what I mean
00:36:04.620 So it depends on the past
00:36:05.480 Before you go
00:36:06.040 I won't have a problem
00:36:06.940 But in Islam
00:36:07.440 No from your
00:36:08.340 No no no
00:36:09.100 I'm very sorry
00:36:10.720 I'm talking about the guy's mindset
00:36:12.320 I'm talking about the guy's
00:36:12.860 That's another topic
00:36:13.680 Because we are all talking about
00:36:14.120 Body counts
00:36:14.840 About previous
00:36:16.260 Intimate relationship
00:36:18.000 For sisters
00:36:18.480 Why no one talks about
00:36:20.040 Brothers
00:36:20.980 That have many
00:36:22.120 Many past relationships
00:36:23.640 And not
00:36:24.280 Very halal
00:36:25.680 Okay
00:36:26.200 Okay
00:36:26.500 Okay
00:36:27.000 Okay
00:36:27.600 You know what
00:36:28.540 You know what
00:36:29.200 Because
00:36:29.600 Men
00:36:30.580 Men
00:36:31.080 Men will sleep with literally
00:36:32.480 Anything
00:36:33.300 Wait one second
00:36:34.940 Men will literally sleep with anything
00:36:36.240 So Allah
00:36:37.160 Let's bring it back to men
00:36:39.920 90% of women
00:36:40.920 We're going off topic
00:36:41.600 I'm so sorry
00:36:42.060 That was my one
00:36:42.840 We're going off topic
00:36:43.660 Our next topic is
00:36:44.420 Does a man judge a woman by her past
00:36:46.180 It's about divorcee brothers as well
00:36:47.480 The next topic is
00:36:48.940 Does a woman judge a man by his future
00:36:50.660 And does a man judge a woman by her past
00:36:52.100 That's our next topic
00:36:52.740 Let's not go into that now
00:36:53.600 They've been married 10 times
00:36:54.120 And they still won a virgin
00:36:54.920 Hold it for that
00:36:55.800 Because that's our next topic
00:36:56.620 We're going to go to that
00:36:57.260 Let's stick to the divorces
00:36:58.420 Being frowned upon
00:36:59.480 Because that's our next topic
00:37:00.260 All this you're talking about
00:37:01.560 We're going to discuss it
00:37:02.420 Because the statistics show
00:37:04.360 That it is more detrimental
00:37:06.040 For a woman
00:37:06.580 Then it is a man
00:37:07.420 The show is about the difficulty
00:37:08.760 For divorcee sisters
00:37:09.840 To get married
00:37:10.520 Exactly
00:37:10.960 So let's stick to that
00:37:11.680 But I'm just pointing out
00:37:12.140 The obvious
00:37:12.720 With the fact that
00:37:13.760 Why brothers are not struggling
00:37:15.300 Why sisters are not checking their past
00:37:17.400 And see if there is a pattern
00:37:18.440 Of four, five, six
00:37:19.720 I'm talking about
00:37:20.560 Between five and ten
00:37:21.740 Divorce or marriages
00:37:22.640 So you're talking about divorce
00:37:23.300 For sisters
00:37:23.620 After one divorce
00:37:24.540 You're frowned upon
00:37:25.200 Can I answer you?
00:37:25.660 Can I answer you?
00:37:26.280 Sorry
00:37:26.540 Can I answer you?
00:37:27.240 Can I answer you?
00:37:28.000 Okay
00:37:28.340 Preston
00:37:28.800 I don't want to lose my child
00:37:30.660 Please
00:37:31.020 She pulls for me
00:37:32.560 So let me ask you
00:37:32.840 I think the biggest issue is
00:37:34.540 I'll be honest with you
00:37:35.300 The biggest issue is
00:37:36.300 In today's day and age
00:37:37.260 Divorce has been easy
00:37:38.360 Divorce is easy
00:37:39.420 Getting married is hard
00:37:40.500 Do you understand?
00:37:41.560 So because marriage is hard
00:37:42.680 Men see it as like
00:37:44.460 I only have one chance
00:37:45.300 To get married
00:37:45.820 Do you understand?
00:37:46.800 Not true
00:37:47.320 Not true, yeah
00:37:48.500 I'm talking about my
00:37:49.500 You have one
00:37:52.020 No, no, no
00:37:52.900 Who do you respect?
00:37:54.220 Like
00:37:54.500 Mashallah
00:37:55.440 You guys are a bit older than me
00:37:56.620 So I'm talking about
00:37:57.080 My age group
00:37:58.460 Yeah, so my generation
00:37:59.240 My age group
00:37:59.860 Their mindset is
00:38:01.000 I really have one chance
00:38:02.080 To get married
00:38:02.620 Really?
00:38:03.940 Yes, because
00:38:04.440 No, you
00:38:05.960 You
00:38:06.580 And I really respect it
00:38:08.000 Mashallah
00:38:08.240 And I don't think
00:38:09.480 Multiple marriages
00:38:10.740 Is for everyone
00:38:11.420 We made that point last time
00:38:13.500 But
00:38:14.520 My question is
00:38:15.820 Why is it
00:38:16.860 Sisters
00:38:17.980 More from the pound
00:38:18.900 After one divorce
00:38:20.300 And brother's divorce
00:38:21.720 She's trying to answer
00:38:22.640 Is not
00:38:23.060 I'm going to answer
00:38:23.480 I'm going to answer
00:38:23.820 Okay, okay
00:38:24.400 Name answer it
00:38:24.820 Please
00:38:24.940 So the point is
00:38:26.140 I told you
00:38:26.580 If you use this
00:38:27.020 You've got one and a half minute bro
00:38:27.920 Okay, next time
00:38:29.020 If you're in trouble
00:38:29.320 I'm going to press
00:38:29.760 So basically
00:38:31.720 The reason is
00:38:33.160 A lot of men today
00:38:34.280 Like
00:38:35.060 18, 19, 20, 25
00:38:37.720 My age group
00:38:38.440 They're scared of getting married
00:38:40.480 Right?
00:38:41.200 And they have many excuses
00:38:41.940 Not to get married
00:38:43.100 So eventually
00:38:44.280 When they get married
00:38:45.160 They want to go
00:38:47.220 For someone
00:38:48.020 That's not been married
00:38:48.820 Instead of someone
00:38:49.800 That's been divorced
00:38:50.560 Do you get what I mean?
00:38:51.940 Because marriage
00:38:52.380 Has been made so difficult
00:38:53.800 So what's
00:38:54.840 So
00:38:55.020 If marriage has been made
00:38:56.300 So difficult
00:38:56.800 What chance
00:38:58.620 Do you have
00:38:59.080 In their mindset
00:38:59.820 Of going with someone
00:39:00.860 Who's been divorced before
00:39:01.820 But she can be better
00:39:03.600 But he
00:39:04.240 Just wanted to add to that
00:39:06.400 A second time
00:39:06.900 No one can speak
00:39:08.280 Sister Aya
00:39:09.340 You've got
00:39:09.780 One and a half minutes
00:39:10.660 Carry on
00:39:11.080 You know
00:39:12.740 Sisters who have been
00:39:13.900 Married
00:39:14.200 Who have been divorced
00:39:15.040 Sorry
00:39:15.480 Sisters who have been divorced
00:39:18.040 They are most likely
00:39:19.600 To work ten times harder
00:39:21.080 To make that marriage last
00:39:22.740 Than anyone else
00:39:24.280 Who hasn't
00:39:25.100 Hasn't got that experience
00:39:26.520 The reason why
00:39:28.080 Is because
00:39:28.700 We've gone through
00:39:29.380 That traumatic experience
00:39:30.280 We know what it entails
00:39:31.460 We know how to be a wife
00:39:33.000 Or at least
00:39:33.560 Partly know how to be a wife
00:39:35.020 And we will sacrifice more
00:39:37.220 To make this marriage work
00:39:39.100 To keep him happy
00:39:40.220 Because we know
00:39:41.020 What we did wrong
00:39:41.760 Because we have healed
00:39:42.880 From that past experience
00:39:44.800 Let finish
00:39:45.580 Let finish
00:39:45.960 Let finish
00:39:46.360 We have learned from that
00:39:47.820 We have healed from that
00:39:48.760 And we know
00:39:49.300 If I was to
00:39:50.540 Nitpick for example
00:39:51.740 I know this marriage
00:39:52.900 Is not going to work
00:39:53.640 So she's going to change that
00:39:55.740 Right
00:39:56.440 To make this marriage
00:39:57.600 Work harder
00:39:58.240 But they finish
00:40:00.340 Can I finish
00:40:00.760 Can I finish this stuff
00:40:01.300 How long left
00:40:02.020 Are you finished
00:40:02.920 How long left
00:40:03.420 You've got 20 seconds left
00:40:04.160 Thank God for it
00:40:05.320 Okay cool
00:40:05.760 The issue is
00:40:06.780 Yes okay
00:40:07.560 You know this
00:40:08.280 As a female
00:40:09.440 But the men of this generation
00:40:11.340 Don't know this
00:40:11.900 That's the issue
00:40:12.620 They do know that
00:40:13.080 No they don't know that
00:40:13.960 They do know that
00:40:14.640 I do agree with the
00:40:17.740 They don't know this
00:40:18.740 They don't know this
00:40:19.320 I promise you
00:40:20.020 They think the reverse
00:40:21.220 They think because of the trauma
00:40:23.060 They don't want to get involved
00:40:24.020 We are more likely
00:40:24.560 To get away from the marriage
00:40:25.900 If anything goes wrong
00:40:26.900 Because oh she used to do that
00:40:28.460 Because she's always to blame
00:40:30.200 Because sorry
00:40:30.880 Because we've labelled her broken
00:40:32.800 Because we blamed her
00:40:35.340 For her first failed marriage
00:40:37.240 Rather than saying
00:40:38.300 Okay it didn't work out
00:40:39.480 That's fine
00:40:40.040 It's 50-50
00:40:40.860 A marriage doesn't break
00:40:41.900 Because of the woman
00:40:42.960 It breaks because of
00:40:44.420 No sometimes it does
00:40:45.180 No I'm sorry
00:40:45.680 Sometimes it does
00:40:46.440 Sometimes it breaks
00:40:47.560 Because of the woman
00:40:48.380 But what I'm trying to
00:40:49.820 And I agree with what you said
00:40:50.960 With the sister
00:40:51.480 That didn't choose the situation
00:40:52.900 But what I'm trying to
00:40:54.320 Emphasize on
00:40:55.200 Is that sometimes
00:40:56.300 Sisters will self-sabotage
00:40:58.460 The next
00:40:58.920 Because they didn't heal
00:41:00.060 They didn't go through
00:41:01.060 That problem
00:41:01.500 Which we're going to come to
00:41:02.100 After very key
00:41:02.860 The problem is
00:41:04.220 That we're not understanding
00:41:05.260 The fitra of the man and woman
00:41:07.340 We're very different
00:41:08.020 So the value of the woman
00:41:09.640 And the value of the man
00:41:10.520 Are very different
00:41:11.120 I mean I don't want to go into
00:41:12.100 What we're going to talk about
00:41:12.860 No it's true
00:41:13.300 It's true
00:41:13.740 But it's very different
00:41:14.820 So men
00:41:15.400 A woman's value
00:41:17.220 Is in her chastity
00:41:18.660 And I don't mean
00:41:20.000 Just by her being chased
00:41:21.040 Through just marriage
00:41:21.840 But it's basically
00:41:23.320 What she's been through
00:41:24.980 Even you know
00:41:25.960 So it is linked to
00:41:27.320 Intimacy
00:41:28.600 Past and future
00:41:29.300 Because Allah says in
00:41:30.040 Surah Nisa 34
00:41:30.840 And when you know
00:41:31.940 Looking after the house
00:41:33.020 Et cetera
00:41:33.540 So they're just different
00:41:35.420 The male psychology
00:41:37.520 And the female psychology
00:41:38.280 Is very very different
00:41:39.120 The man is going to look
00:41:40.940 At the woman
00:41:41.440 Who's been divorced
00:41:42.760 Or has gone through a divorce
00:41:45.800 In a way that
00:41:47.600 Someone's been with her
00:41:48.640 They've had some issues
00:41:49.880 Some traumas
00:41:50.500 I'm going to take her on right now
00:41:52.100 Those problems might come into
00:41:54.780 My marriage
00:41:55.360 Exactly
00:41:55.900 Look we can't go
00:41:57.400 He doesn't know
00:41:58.680 Can she not say that
00:42:00.100 About the man who's divorced
00:42:01.220 Yeah
00:42:01.560 No no
00:42:01.980 But that's the thing
00:42:02.420 Her mind is not like that
00:42:03.440 Her mind is different
00:42:04.900 A woman is going to
00:42:06.140 Is going to take on
00:42:08.440 More of a chance
00:42:10.420 Of you know
00:42:11.320 Just kind of overlooking
00:42:12.300 The man
00:42:12.760 I disagree
00:42:13.580 Okay
00:42:13.980 I think they do
00:42:15.260 I think women
00:42:16.000 Women
00:42:16.560 Women have
00:42:17.520 And that's why I encourage
00:42:18.360 Women to do
00:42:18.960 Is to check the past
00:42:19.940 To see if there is not a pattern
00:42:21.120 I got a message
00:42:21.960 I understand where you're coming from
00:42:24.240 But women will not
00:42:25.820 Do as much
00:42:26.800 Okay so
00:42:27.260 I've got a text message
00:42:29.240 I've got a text message
00:42:30.400 For my wife
00:42:31.180 So she's saying
00:42:31.960 Why isn't it frowned upon men
00:42:33.640 So she's saying
00:42:34.680 That's what I'm asking
00:42:36.060 It's the psychology of women
00:42:38.960 Is different
00:42:39.520 They're looking at
00:42:40.420 They're willing to risk more
00:42:42.480 To get into the marriage
00:42:43.780 And to you know
00:42:45.080 Kind of like
00:42:45.560 They'll say
00:42:45.860 Well if the guy had a past
00:42:47.100 His value
00:42:49.240 Doesn't necessarily decrease
00:42:51.700 In her eyes
00:42:53.000 I disagree
00:42:53.660 Oh okay
00:42:54.680 Interesting
00:42:55.180 Let's listen to this please
00:42:56.180 Okay
00:42:56.780 Carry on
00:42:57.180 So
00:42:57.360 Going back
00:42:58.660 Just on
00:42:59.140 What I've learned
00:42:59.960 From female psychology
00:43:01.060 They're going to look at a man
00:43:02.120 With experience
00:43:02.860 Especially in intimacy
00:43:03.920 As
00:43:05.120 Not necessarily as something
00:43:06.400 Halal or whatever
00:43:07.280 But
00:43:07.580 She's not going to have
00:43:08.440 Such a huge problem with it
00:43:09.940 Unless this guy's been
00:43:10.880 Some dirty
00:43:12.100 You know
00:43:12.680 Yeah
00:43:12.920 But she's not going
00:43:15.040 To look at it that way
00:43:16.020 The man is going to look
00:43:16.900 At the woman
00:43:17.400 In a different way
00:43:18.440 Absolutely
00:43:19.080 She will
00:43:19.520 I actually do agree
00:43:20.860 No I agree
00:43:21.600 I think even personally
00:43:22.780 Being divorced myself
00:43:24.420 I wouldn't want to
00:43:25.580 Even go with somebody
00:43:26.440 Who has never been
00:43:27.280 Married before
00:43:27.840 I would choose someone
00:43:28.720 Who was married
00:43:29.760 To understand me
00:43:30.880 Because I think
00:43:31.340 I understand where
00:43:31.940 You're coming from
00:43:32.680 Because you might feel
00:43:33.960 That you know
00:43:34.600 You're taking on somebody
00:43:35.560 Who has got things
00:43:36.920 Whether they've healed or not
00:43:38.240 It's not something
00:43:39.120 It's not something
00:43:39.140 That you may be able
00:43:40.120 To handle
00:43:40.740 The fact that
00:43:41.400 She's come from that
00:43:42.240 Right or wrong as it is
00:43:43.620 This is just human behavior
00:43:45.200 And what it is
00:43:45.620 And I want to go back
00:43:46.540 Sorry to interrupt
00:43:47.340 One point that the sister
00:43:48.740 Made with regards to polygyny
00:43:50.200 See
00:43:51.220 Allah subhanahu wa ta'i
00:43:52.460 Doesn't rule something
00:43:54.180 For no reason
00:43:55.320 Yes
00:43:55.800 Okay yes
00:43:56.720 A man will choose a virgin
00:43:58.220 Over a non-virgin
00:43:59.280 That depends
00:44:00.160 Again
00:44:00.760 In the hadith
00:44:01.580 Of the
00:44:02.620 Where the
00:44:03.320 Prophet ﷺ spoke
00:44:04.280 About that
00:44:04.800 That man
00:44:05.760 The sahabi said
00:44:06.980 But I have
00:44:07.800 Like I think
00:44:08.520 He had sisters
00:44:09.160 He had kids I think
00:44:10.400 The one who said
00:44:10.880 Why did you marry someone
00:44:12.120 So he said
00:44:12.980 Then this is better for you
00:44:14.340 Someone who's got
00:44:14.980 More experience than that
00:44:16.040 But you see
00:44:16.840 When you make
00:44:18.100 And again
00:44:18.540 I'm not
00:44:18.920 I know people are
00:44:19.820 Going to have an issue
00:44:20.460 But I'll
00:44:21.220 You know
00:44:21.660 I stick by what I say
00:44:22.620 I don't care
00:44:23.080 It doesn't matter
00:44:23.740 It's the bitter truth
00:44:24.480 It is the bitter truth
00:44:25.680 I'll take responsibility
00:44:27.060 For what I say
00:44:27.780 I believe
00:44:28.760 That polygyny
00:44:30.660 Is the solution for this
00:44:31.760 Because
00:44:32.180 If a man marries
00:44:33.240 His
00:44:33.460 I want to shake my hand
00:44:34.560 This guy is
00:44:36.280 Why are you so hungry
00:44:37.860 Can we let the
00:44:39.360 It's not about that
00:44:40.340 You said I'm hungry
00:44:40.920 No no no
00:44:41.660 Okay
00:44:41.920 No no no
00:44:42.740 He's not
00:44:43.280 So polygyny
00:44:44.440 Is
00:44:45.040 Polygyny is hypersexualized
00:44:48.160 Right
00:44:48.400 Because it's always looked at
00:44:49.640 From a intimacy perspective
00:44:51.360 It's not
00:44:52.120 It's a huge responsibility
00:44:53.120 A man has so many more
00:44:54.340 Four
00:44:54.840 Three times more
00:44:56.200 Options of going to hell
00:44:58.080 When he is in polygyny
00:44:59.220 Okay
00:44:59.920 Because he doesn't do it right
00:45:01.380 Right
00:45:01.620 Yeah yeah
00:45:02.040 Because the hadith
00:45:02.620 Are you married
00:45:04.200 But it plays a big part
00:45:05.140 Yeah of course
00:45:05.720 One wife
00:45:06.120 Long time
00:45:06.620 Unless
00:45:07.220 We have the right
00:45:08.860 To remain silent
00:45:09.400 Look at this guy
00:45:11.840 Okay
00:45:12.360 Of course
00:45:12.720 Of course you're going to say
00:45:13.380 He's got more than one wife
00:45:14.540 So what
00:45:15.600 What's your problem
00:45:16.240 If I had more than one wife
00:45:17.200 I'd be pro polygyny as well
00:45:18.180 But I only got one wife
00:45:18.900 You can't be
00:45:19.780 It's about that
00:45:20.520 It's about that
00:45:20.540 Because for these sisters
00:45:23.220 Who are divorced
00:45:23.880 Right
00:45:24.140 So the guy has had
00:45:25.120 Let's say
00:45:25.720 He takes his virgin
00:45:26.460 Right
00:45:26.960 Then he marries another wife
00:45:28.900 A second wife
00:45:29.580 Who's been divorced
00:45:30.580 You might find that
00:45:31.900 The wife who's been divorced
00:45:32.700 Is better than the wife
00:45:33.360 Exactly
00:45:33.760 This is what we need to talk about
00:45:35.380 Yes
00:45:35.740 Because we're thinking
00:45:36.560 That divorces are like
00:45:37.440 Damaged goods
00:45:37.980 And they're psychologically
00:45:39.040 They've got nothing to offer
00:45:39.840 How are you going to know
00:45:40.440 What a woman has to offer
00:45:41.760 Who's been divorced
00:45:42.460 But a divorce is not just
00:45:43.800 For second marriages
00:45:44.780 No it's not
00:45:45.300 I totally agree
00:45:45.840 That's not what I'm trying to say
00:45:46.980 That's not what I'm trying to say
00:45:48.380 Well let's say he marries
00:45:49.480 The first wife
00:45:51.500 And I do believe personally
00:45:52.840 That if you marry
00:45:53.440 Your first wife
00:45:54.220 As a divorce
00:45:55.480 You're an even more mature woman
00:45:56.760 It is better
00:45:57.260 In the process
00:45:57.640 I married Khadija
00:45:58.380 Yes
00:45:58.780 And even after her
00:46:00.720 Sauda
00:46:01.260 Thank you
00:46:01.900 Okay
00:46:02.160 Wait wait
00:46:03.540 And
00:46:03.900 Then with Aisha
00:46:04.560 Aisha and Sauda
00:46:06.900 Were within very close time
00:46:08.720 Okay
00:46:09.200 Radi Allah
00:46:09.580 And
00:46:10.880 You
00:46:13.000 Will have an easier time
00:46:15.280 To move on
00:46:16.800 And maybe you can
00:46:17.420 Okay
00:46:17.620 Have a second or third
00:46:18.460 You can still marry a virgin
00:46:19.480 If that's what you want
00:46:20.580 For men
00:46:21.300 That's like a trophy thing
00:46:22.380 Isn't it
00:46:22.820 It seems
00:46:23.800 But
00:46:24.720 See
00:46:25.300 Those women
00:46:26.060 Still have
00:46:26.940 The ability to marry
00:46:28.240 A good man
00:46:29.160 If she's been divorced
00:46:30.680 So what
00:46:31.040 She's been divorced
00:46:31.680 Okay
00:46:32.080 If your issue was
00:46:33.220 I need to marry a virgin
00:46:34.200 Because I was a good boy
00:46:35.180 Or whatever
00:46:35.580 Okay
00:46:36.100 Whatever that means
00:46:37.420 I'm making that
00:46:38.980 I go at you
00:46:40.120 Oh no
00:46:40.780 But
00:46:41.200 So okay
00:46:42.580 You can still have that
00:46:43.580 Is that the issue
00:46:44.920 That's stopping you
00:46:45.580 From marrying a divorced woman
00:46:46.760 Or a woman with children
00:46:47.660 Look
00:46:48.200 If that's the issue
00:46:48.980 Then you have a chance
00:46:49.860 You can still do it
00:46:50.740 I think a mature alpha male
00:46:52.120 Can actually
00:46:53.160 Handle
00:46:54.460 A divorced
00:46:55.200 Person
00:46:56.080 More than
00:46:56.640 Someone who is
00:46:57.360 What are you trying to say sister
00:46:58.060 No I'm just saying
00:46:58.860 You're trying to say
00:46:59.340 You're trying to say
00:47:00.260 Exactly what I said
00:47:01.260 Listen
00:47:01.560 Listen
00:47:01.900 I'm very alpha
00:47:03.040 Trust me
00:47:04.240 Do you know what I mean
00:47:04.900 No no listen
00:47:05.640 I think so
00:47:07.060 I may one day get divorced
00:47:08.480 Or
00:47:09.260 May I protect you
00:47:10.020 May I protect you
00:47:10.600 I'm saying
00:47:13.000 One day I may be in a situation
00:47:14.460 Where then
00:47:14.920 You know what
00:47:15.260 I may say
00:47:15.620 You know what
00:47:16.080 I may think differently
00:47:17.780 But right now
00:47:18.420 I just
00:47:19.100 It's not like an insecure thing
00:47:20.540 It's just like
00:47:21.120 If that's my wife
00:47:22.980 And I love her
00:47:23.460 Yeah
00:47:23.680 Yeah no
00:47:24.340 I totally understand
00:47:24.980 I can't
00:47:26.420 Like just
00:47:27.300 I think we need to go past
00:47:29.520 This issue
00:47:30.500 That we have this
00:47:31.700 Idea
00:47:32.820 That okay
00:47:33.820 There is value in virginity
00:47:35.160 No doubt
00:47:35.660 Okay
00:47:36.400 But I'll go based on my experiences
00:47:38.580 In counselling
00:47:39.120 My clients
00:47:40.080 There's been married men
00:47:41.260 Who have been married to virgins
00:47:42.400 And they've made their lives hell
00:47:43.800 Yeah
00:47:44.140 There's many men
00:47:45.300 Who have been married to
00:47:46.000 Divorced women
00:47:46.660 And they've made their life
00:47:47.640 Very good
00:47:48.080 Right
00:47:48.500 So you have to vet
00:47:49.480 The wife
00:47:50.420 You have to make sure
00:47:51.180 She's a good woman
00:47:51.960 You have to make sure
00:47:53.240 You test everything
00:47:54.580 Do your due diligence
00:47:55.680 Yeah
00:47:56.120 There is value in virginity
00:47:57.840 I'm not saying that there isn't
00:47:58.940 Because the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:47:59.720 Said that
00:48:00.140 He advised
00:48:00.840 I'm not saying there isn't
00:48:02.100 But it depends
00:48:03.360 That doesn't mean now
00:48:04.380 Okay
00:48:04.920 Just like
00:48:05.500 If a woman wears niqab
00:48:06.800 Does that mean she's going to be a good wife?
00:48:08.400 No
00:48:08.580 A lot of brothers make that mistake
00:48:09.840 Oh
00:48:10.120 Please
00:48:10.520 Don't get me started
00:48:12.800 Please
00:48:13.000 Please
00:48:13.920 Please
00:48:14.640 Don't take us down
00:48:15.460 No no
00:48:15.940 Never
00:48:16.140 Is that enough
00:48:19.620 For a person to make a decision?
00:48:22.860 No no
00:48:23.240 Is that enough?
00:48:24.260 Is virginity enough
00:48:26.360 To make sure
00:48:27.060 That's what I'm saying
00:48:28.180 Just like a disclaimer as well
00:48:30.180 Look our sisters
00:48:30.900 Who observe the hijab
00:48:32.580 Who wear the niqab
00:48:33.520 Even those who are striving to
00:48:36.320 Alhamdulillah
00:48:36.940 Hats off
00:48:38.160 May Allah bless you guys
00:48:39.320 No no
00:48:39.540 Let's appreciate
00:48:41.260 The fact that you guys are out there
00:48:42.980 You have this attire
00:48:43.640 I can walk
00:48:44.300 Don't say
00:48:44.720 Do I look like a Muslim?
00:48:46.240 No maybe I'm one of those guys
00:48:48.020 In the Camden Town punks
00:48:48.980 Yeah they grow their beard
00:48:49.640 Yeah
00:48:49.820 No it's true
00:48:50.500 But you guys are symbol
00:48:51.460 You're carrying that symbol in your head
00:48:52.560 So may Allah bless and preserve you guys
00:48:54.020 Because it's very important
00:48:54.760 No it doesn't mean that we are sacred
00:48:55.520 I have to agree
00:48:56.180 A side with what the brothers say
00:48:57.740 They mean that
00:48:58.260 It's not because
00:48:58.900 We niqabis
00:49:00.180 Or we hijabis
00:49:00.900 Or we jilbabis
00:49:01.660 Are perfect
00:49:02.840 Or better wife
00:49:03.560 Than some
00:49:04.120 I am the first one to explain it
00:49:06.020 On my account
00:49:06.900 So I do not like the sacred
00:49:08.520 Like responsibility that we have
00:49:10.960 Because we are niqabis
00:49:11.700 No we are human beings
00:49:12.620 100%
00:49:13.080 We are imperfect
00:49:13.900 May Allah guide us
00:49:14.900 And perfect us
00:49:15.920 Same with the brothers
00:49:16.500 With the phobes
00:49:17.080 And the beards
00:49:17.580 And the hats
00:49:18.080 But I want to go back
00:49:19.300 To concept
00:49:20.380 When going back to the cause of divorce
00:49:22.040 And I'm going to join
00:49:22.720 Our brothers
00:49:24.000 Gabriel
00:49:25.460 Gabriel
00:49:26.120 Gabriel
00:49:26.780 Sorry
00:49:27.380 On a point
00:49:29.280 That I think
00:49:30.080 One of the main causes
00:49:30.980 We forget to speak about
00:49:32.300 He mashallah
00:49:33.460 And I appreciate
00:49:34.660 That the fact
00:49:35.180 That he mentioned
00:49:35.780 Our prophet
00:49:36.240 The most self-confident
00:49:39.120 The most healthiest
00:49:40.440 Example we ever had
00:49:42.060 That didn't feel insecure
00:49:43.980 With marrying
00:49:44.420 There has never been an issue
00:49:46.040 With marrying a divorce
00:49:47.460 Why?
00:49:48.160 Because we go back
00:49:48.800 To the ayah
00:49:49.400 For the reason
00:49:50.040 Why we choose a woman
00:49:50.960 In the first place
00:49:51.880 And yes
00:49:53.200 It is like a sunnah
00:49:55.460 Especially if you're
00:49:56.380 A virgin yourself
00:49:56.980 To marry a virgin person
00:49:58.860 Subhanallah
00:49:59.300 But
00:49:59.760 Allah Azza wa Jai
00:50:00.800 Tell us to look at what?
00:50:02.420 Please
00:50:02.680 Can we remind ourselves
00:50:03.800 That no one meant
00:50:04.640 Since before
00:50:05.540 We are talking about
00:50:06.140 All the reasons
00:50:06.740 The taqwa
00:50:07.540 The taqwa
00:50:08.700 Subhanallah
00:50:09.460 And the taqwa
00:50:10.520 Of a divorcee
00:50:11.540 Is not lesser
00:50:12.620 Than the taqwa
00:50:13.300 Of a virgin
00:50:13.840 Because
00:50:14.720 And I insist on that
00:50:16.040 That a divorcee
00:50:17.080 Sister
00:50:17.920 It depends on
00:50:19.160 Her healing journey
00:50:19.840 That's why
00:50:20.220 I always advise
00:50:21.020 See how she's about
00:50:22.840 On her healing
00:50:23.300 What did she learn?
00:50:24.680 And even when
00:50:25.500 I took myself
00:50:26.200 To divorcee brothers
00:50:27.920 In an Islamic meeting
00:50:28.900 In a Muqabala
00:50:29.500 And asked them
00:50:30.260 What did you learn
00:50:31.300 From your previous marriage?
00:50:32.720 I don't mind the fact
00:50:33.500 That the person is divorcee
00:50:34.740 What I mind is the journey
00:50:36.280 The lesson
00:50:37.100 The wisdom
00:50:37.620 That he has understood
00:50:38.920 Making sure you don't
00:50:39.900 Do the same mistakes
00:50:40.660 And you know what?
00:50:41.620 The first thing I listen to
00:50:43.180 I look for accountability
00:50:44.720 Self-accountability
00:50:45.960 Wow
00:50:46.200 Not saying
00:50:46.860 My wife did this
00:50:47.920 She was this
00:50:48.600 She was awful
00:50:49.260 She was horrible
00:50:49.840 Like most of the brothers
00:50:50.900 Brothers
00:50:51.660 What she was
00:50:52.640 Doesn't matter
00:50:53.240 What did you learn
00:50:54.360 About yourself?
00:50:55.280 And divorcee
00:50:56.040 I want to talk about
00:50:56.920 Was the most
00:50:57.780 Self-reflecting journey
00:50:59.400 Not about me
00:51:00.220 Bashing my ex
00:51:01.140 But what I have learned
00:51:02.260 About myself
00:51:02.940 My flaws
00:51:03.780 And wallahi
00:51:04.960 This is a blessing
00:51:06.000 From Allah
00:51:06.480 If you are able
00:51:08.160 To sit in the mirror
00:51:09.100 And say
00:51:09.860 You know what?
00:51:10.800 Forget him
00:51:11.400 Forget what happened
00:51:12.380 May Allah guide him
00:51:13.460 May Allah forgive
00:51:14.140 And may Allah better
00:51:15.700 All our situation
00:51:16.880 But it's to be able
00:51:18.260 To look in the mirror
00:51:18.960 And think
00:51:19.460 What are the things
00:51:20.980 That I can take
00:51:21.760 From this experience
00:51:22.500 And how can I better myself
00:51:24.120 And get closer to Allah
00:51:25.080 And this is why
00:51:27.000 I just want to go back
00:51:27.740 To the importance of taqwa
00:51:28.860 So let's go to now
00:51:30.260 The healing process
00:51:31.020 Of divorce inshallah
00:51:31.940 Let's talk about that
00:51:32.620 And like I said
00:51:33.640 Before I know
00:51:34.040 Many examples as well
00:51:35.340 People that I know
00:51:36.180 Sometimes it's that divorce
00:51:38.280 Like I was
00:51:39.400 I know a brother
00:51:40.580 And I was
00:51:41.060 Speaking to him
00:51:42.120 And he said
00:51:42.540 If it wasn't for my divorce
00:51:44.440 I would have destroyed
00:51:45.380 My marriage today
00:51:45.940 He goes
00:51:46.940 If it wasn't for the divorce
00:51:47.860 That I went through
00:51:48.440 I would have not valued my wife
00:51:50.100 I would have not appreciated her
00:51:51.440 And I would have ruined it
00:51:53.180 So that divorce
00:51:54.180 That he went through
00:51:54.700 Was the biggest blessing for him
00:51:56.120 Number one
00:51:56.620 Protect him from zinner
00:51:58.020 Number two
00:51:59.020 He had a child
00:52:00.220 Number three
00:52:01.180 The mistakes that he learned there
00:52:03.200 He didn't apply it here
00:52:04.240 And that's why
00:52:05.220 Allah sometimes
00:52:05.800 He got remarried
00:52:07.120 Yeah he got remarried
00:52:08.000 And he got remarried
00:52:09.200 So sometimes
00:52:10.140 Divorce that we've
00:52:10.940 Looked down upon
00:52:12.020 It's something that is a blessing
00:52:13.860 But let's bear in mind
00:52:14.740 When we talk about
00:52:15.120 Sahaba's time
00:52:15.700 The prophet's time
00:52:16.320 The woman
00:52:17.100 The woman there
00:52:18.040 And not the woman today
00:52:19.080 And the men there
00:52:19.820 That time is not the men today
00:52:21.040 We're talking about
00:52:21.420 You need to be careful
00:52:21.840 When you say that though
00:52:22.480 What do you mean by that
00:52:23.440 I'll be honest with you
00:52:23.980 Like
00:52:24.220 Okay so
00:52:25.320 There's probably here
00:52:26.560 Be sisters here
00:52:27.140 They're more experienced
00:52:27.840 They do counselling
00:52:28.440 They do whatever
00:52:29.080 And they're qualified
00:52:31.220 I give marriage advice
00:52:32.780 Like
00:52:33.180 Here and there
00:52:34.500 But I've been doing it
00:52:35.000 For like two months
00:52:35.600 Giving my opinion
00:52:36.200 No no no
00:52:37.700 Why they laugh
00:52:39.180 Two months
00:52:40.560 Two months
00:52:40.940 Is a great experience
00:52:42.220 You know
00:52:42.420 Every day
00:52:42.920 Every day you know
00:52:43.980 No no no
00:52:44.660 But honestly
00:52:44.940 I speak to mainly
00:52:45.980 My generation
00:52:46.660 Okay
00:52:46.960 You're saying that
00:52:50.640 Sometimes
00:52:51.120 I understand your point
00:52:52.520 But I'm saying
00:52:53.160 Some people might take it
00:52:54.140 In a wrong way
00:52:55.280 Where you're saying
00:52:55.620 Sometimes a divorce
00:52:56.540 Can be a good thing
00:52:57.200 Which I agree
00:52:58.260 But I'm saying
00:52:59.300 People
00:52:59.740 Think of that
00:53:01.540 And listen to that
00:53:02.040 And think
00:53:02.240 Okay I'm going to get divorced
00:53:03.060 No
00:53:03.480 No it is
00:53:05.020 I'm telling you guys
00:53:06.780 The amount of people
00:53:07.340 No we are talking about
00:53:07.860 People that are already divorced
00:53:08.880 Already divorced
00:53:09.460 And how to accept
00:53:10.640 I know
00:53:11.840 I know
00:53:12.500 But I'm saying
00:53:13.120 People right now
00:53:13.680 Will be going through
00:53:14.180 A certain situation
00:53:14.940 And we hear
00:53:15.600 You know what
00:53:16.220 Some divorces are good
00:53:17.180 And then
00:53:17.980 They're thinking about divorce
00:53:20.000 And they hear that
00:53:20.460 They think
00:53:20.800 You know what
00:53:21.160 Maybe me getting divorced
00:53:21.900 Is a good thing
00:53:22.380 And then
00:53:22.780 And then
00:53:23.900 They end up getting divorced
00:53:25.080 Look we've talked
00:53:25.940 You need to be careful
00:53:26.840 You need to be careful
00:53:27.440 Like
00:53:27.800 True
00:53:28.140 Explain the point
00:53:29.160 Yeah true
00:53:29.620 The aim is very simple
00:53:31.080 It's very clear
00:53:32.040 With our episodes
00:53:32.500 And shows that
00:53:32.980 The whole point is
00:53:33.640 To reel the family unit
00:53:34.420 Not destroy it
00:53:35.000 But what we're saying
00:53:35.980 Is that for those
00:53:36.580 Who are divorced
00:53:37.060 And they're in despair
00:53:37.880 And like
00:53:38.240 You know this that
00:53:38.960 To say you know what
00:53:39.920 It can be a lesson
00:53:40.820 To be learned
00:53:41.280 And there's many benefits
00:53:42.020 Out of it
00:53:42.480 The fact that it protected you
00:53:43.580 From Zinner
00:53:44.000 The fact that it protected you
00:53:45.580 From Zinner
00:53:45.860 Is a massive thing bro
00:53:46.940 The one who's going to
00:53:47.900 Stand in front of Allah
00:53:48.660 Who's committed Zinner
00:53:49.360 And the one who's going to
00:53:49.960 Stand and say
00:53:50.320 I got married
00:53:50.900 There's mountains
00:53:51.900 Bro there's a mountain
00:53:52.880 That's number one
00:53:53.760 Number two
00:53:54.340 Learning lessons
00:53:55.120 So we're not saying
00:53:55.700 If you're on the verge
00:53:56.440 We would go back
00:53:58.060 To our other episodes
00:53:58.740 That we're going to talk about
00:53:59.360 This as well
00:53:59.680 Inshallah in depth
00:54:00.120 But let's talk about it now
00:54:00.980 Because we haven't got much time
00:54:01.660 About healing
00:54:02.760 So there's
00:54:03.640 You do coaching
00:54:05.220 So please
00:54:06.640 Let's start off with you
00:54:07.480 Inshallah
00:54:07.780 And then go to Sister Saul
00:54:08.780 And then from there
00:54:09.380 Yeah and also Sister Fahim
00:54:10.640 And that's coaching as well
00:54:11.280 So when couples come to you
00:54:13.780 How do you help them
00:54:14.840 To heal after a divorce
00:54:16.540 Or if you do that
00:54:18.520 Okay so
00:54:20.260 With men and women
00:54:22.980 It's different
00:54:23.480 Okay
00:54:24.620 There was a study
00:54:25.720 That was published
00:54:27.020 In 2020 I believe
00:54:28.460 About committed couples
00:54:30.860 Who have fallen out
00:54:32.140 Divorce
00:54:33.420 And there's a misconception
00:54:35.580 That somehow
00:54:36.540 Guys heal faster
00:54:37.700 It's not correct
00:54:38.720 They actually heal slower
00:54:41.040 And it's more painful
00:54:42.120 Of course
00:54:42.380 We're talking here
00:54:42.900 About when they're committed
00:54:43.660 I'm not talking about the
00:54:44.400 I think a lot of times
00:54:45.600 When we look at guys
00:54:46.380 We feel that
00:54:47.140 These boys
00:54:48.180 They just kind of jump around
00:54:49.220 From woman to woman
00:54:50.420 They just move on
00:54:51.080 And so on
00:54:51.380 I'm talking about like
00:54:51.920 A man who's been in love
00:54:53.700 With his wife
00:54:54.740 Yeah
00:54:55.060 And she's
00:54:56.720 Supposedly in love with him
00:54:57.680 They fall out
00:54:58.700 They have a divorce
00:54:59.740 Who moves on faster
00:55:01.120 Who heals faster
00:55:02.120 The woman
00:55:02.500 It's clear
00:55:03.320 There's a doubt about this
00:55:04.620 That's what the
00:55:06.040 Study showed
00:55:06.920 So what I'm trying to say
00:55:15.400 Is different
00:55:16.240 So with women
00:55:18.060 Naturally they're going to have
00:55:19.860 A faster
00:55:21.400 A wider support group
00:55:23.460 I agree with you
00:55:24.680 Usually when sisters
00:55:25.580 Have a problem
00:55:26.120 Pretty much very fast
00:55:27.400 They'll go to someone
00:55:28.040 They can have someone
00:55:28.740 That they can
00:55:29.180 They can cry about it
00:55:30.140 Someone they can cuddle with
00:55:32.160 Someone they can get a hug from
00:55:33.420 And so on
00:55:33.900 Men
00:55:34.700 Not so much
00:55:35.960 So the way we approach
00:55:37.980 Healing for men
00:55:38.800 And for women
00:55:39.660 Is very very different
00:55:41.040 Women want to understand
00:55:42.940 What the problem was
00:55:45.100 They want to work on themselves
00:55:46.620 They do blame themselves a lot
00:55:48.140 At times
00:55:49.000 It happens a lot
00:55:51.520 So you have to build with women
00:55:52.880 Like it's a bit different
00:55:54.200 You have to approach
00:55:54.940 And dissect everything
00:55:56.180 They want to understand
00:55:57.080 For the guys
00:55:57.900 They're very hard to open up
00:56:00.200 It's very difficult to know
00:56:01.260 Like what is the issue
00:56:02.400 What was your issue
00:56:03.160 That's one of the reasons
00:56:03.800 High rates of suicide
00:56:04.860 Amongst men
00:56:05.440 Amongst men
00:56:06.000 So what I do with men
00:56:07.640 Is I'll focus on them
00:56:08.700 Building themselves
00:56:09.580 Their confidence
00:56:10.860 Their value
00:56:11.520 And so on
00:56:12.080 And with women
00:56:13.340 Most likely
00:56:14.220 We'll have to dissect
00:56:15.480 And go into details
00:56:16.900 And understanding
00:56:18.080 Was there fault
00:56:18.840 Was there no fault
00:56:19.780 You really have to go into details
00:56:22.200 That's how
00:56:22.680 Okay
00:56:23.120 Okay
00:56:23.640 So one and a half minute
00:56:25.080 I agree and disagree
00:56:26.480 The way he said
00:56:27.520 Like sisters go through healing
00:56:29.200 Or women in general
00:56:30.180 With the fact that
00:56:31.080 Dissecting the guilt
00:56:32.520 Phenomena
00:56:33.060 Everything
00:56:33.700 Sisters
00:56:35.080 Will completely
00:56:36.900 Break down
00:56:37.980 Like
00:56:38.440 Completely break down
00:56:39.960 Okay
00:56:40.840 Compared to a man
00:56:42.100 A man can move on
00:56:43.140 Quicker
00:56:43.740 But
00:56:44.200 What I have realised
00:56:45.700 Through my experience
00:56:46.660 Myself
00:56:47.240 And through other sisters
00:56:48.380 That I speak to
00:56:49.800 Yeah
00:56:50.140 Even though
00:56:51.320 The consequences
00:56:53.000 Of the divorce
00:56:53.780 Will be more dramatic
00:56:54.840 On the sisters
00:56:55.600 Straight away
00:56:57.140 But in the long run
00:56:58.400 I find that men
00:56:59.260 Heal less
00:57:00.200 Because they didn't
00:57:01.440 Take that time
00:57:02.120 Maybe to
00:57:02.800 Take that healing time
00:57:04.200 To dissect
00:57:04.760 The reason
00:57:05.520 Things maybe
00:57:06.080 They need to work on
00:57:06.900 No they just
00:57:07.460 Move on
00:57:08.060 And it's part of
00:57:09.280 As well the qualities
00:57:10.080 But there can be a flow
00:57:11.180 When you go through
00:57:12.260 Certain events like that
00:57:13.880 So I will agree
00:57:14.980 And disagree
00:57:15.600 But sisters for me
00:57:16.780 Or women in general
00:57:17.740 They will completely
00:57:19.440 Break down
00:57:20.120 30 seconds
00:57:20.920 But in the long term
00:57:21.820 They will heal better
00:57:22.680 They will move on
00:57:23.900 And when they heal
00:57:24.680 They're healed
00:57:25.780 Men
00:57:26.460 I've never really met so far
00:57:28.180 A man that really
00:57:29.420 Took the steps
00:57:30.300 Through the healing
00:57:31.520 And self-revisation
00:57:32.520 Self-accountability
00:57:33.440 So the damage
00:57:34.620 Is in the long term
00:57:35.240 That's what we need
00:57:35.820 We see many people
00:57:36.960 In the street
00:57:37.460 That are houseless
00:57:38.640 And when you speak to them
00:57:40.160 Very often
00:57:40.960 I was very surprised
00:57:41.860 It started with a woman
00:57:43.440 Yes
00:57:43.880 With a divorce
00:57:44.640 Allahu akbar
00:57:45.440 Thank you
00:57:46.220 And time is up
00:57:46.900 For that sister
00:57:47.440 But it's true
00:57:48.000 Because the thing is
00:57:48.620 When it comes to divorce
00:57:49.380 Woman divorce
00:57:50.180 Way before the initiation
00:57:51.460 So a woman
00:57:52.320 Starts the divorce process
00:57:53.340 So when a brother
00:57:54.200 Comes and says
00:57:54.600 Oh my wife
00:57:55.780 My wife
00:57:56.320 Sometimes she's left
00:57:57.120 She doesn't
00:57:57.480 No no no
00:57:58.000 One second
00:57:58.900 One second
00:58:00.100 No no no
00:58:01.440 One second
00:58:01.720 By the way
00:58:02.080 You and I agree
00:58:02.700 We say the same thing
00:58:03.700 Yes
00:58:03.980 The thing is here
00:58:05.760 Is this
00:58:06.040 It's a non-phenomena
00:58:07.320 Okay
00:58:07.620 The early stages
00:58:09.000 For a man
00:58:09.880 It's
00:58:10.140 Oh yes
00:58:10.720 Amazing
00:58:11.200 For a woman
00:58:11.720 It's misery
00:58:12.480 Etc
00:58:12.900 On the long run
00:58:14.200 You guys heal faster
00:58:15.860 And that will be
00:58:16.780 I believe
00:58:17.080 Because we're physically stronger
00:58:17.900 You guys are psychologically stronger
00:58:18.920 And you can cry
00:58:19.600 I can't go to my friend and cry
00:58:20.540 I can't go to hijab
00:58:21.440 And be like
00:58:21.800 Give me
00:58:23.260 Probably give me one slap
00:58:24.260 Yeah
00:58:24.860 Come back to your senses
00:58:25.760 Okay
00:58:26.040 Come here let me slap you
00:58:27.040 Yeah
00:58:27.360 So the thing is
00:58:28.080 We can't do that
00:58:28.600 You can open up
00:58:29.300 You can cry about it
00:58:30.140 And it's therapeutic
00:58:31.060 So that's the
00:58:31.920 Yes that's the case
00:58:33.080 And not only that
00:58:33.720 Sometimes for a woman
00:58:35.000 She pre-plans ahead
00:58:36.420 When she
00:58:37.200 If a brother comes to me
00:58:37.960 And says my wife wants to divorce me
00:58:39.340 And I'm talking about divorce
00:58:39.960 Not that oh I'm emotional
00:58:40.940 No she's like
00:58:41.940 I'm like bro
00:58:42.460 That divorce started a year and a half ago
00:58:43.840 It's just
00:58:44.180 She's told you today
00:58:45.740 She's told
00:58:46.520 Nope
00:58:46.880 No no no
00:58:47.960 I'm sorry
00:58:48.360 I think women
00:58:49.280 Emotionally leave
00:58:51.020 Their relationship first
00:58:52.680 Yes
00:58:52.820 Yes
00:58:53.320 And it's not because
00:58:55.360 They have to disconnect in order to feel
00:58:56.020 Yes
00:58:56.540 There we go
00:58:57.480 Yeah
00:58:57.740 And it's not necessarily because
00:58:58.920 We want to divorce him
00:59:00.260 But he is doing something
00:59:01.720 That is pushing me
00:59:03.420 Further and further away
00:59:04.600 No matter how hard I try
00:59:05.800 And put my hand out
00:59:07.060 It depends on
00:59:07.960 And yes it does depend on
00:59:09.200 The situation and the woman itself
00:59:10.540 But for the most part anyways
00:59:12.140 And I think in order to heal
00:59:14.180 Women are self-sabotaging
00:59:16.440 If we are left with a child
00:59:18.480 Society and the culture
00:59:20.200 Will constantly shame us
00:59:21.380 They will look down upon us
00:59:22.580 Five years on the line
00:59:23.700 You want to get married
00:59:24.360 Oh well she's divorced
00:59:25.580 Oh no we don't want her
00:59:26.700 Ten years on the line
00:59:27.800 It's still the same thing
00:59:28.780 So it comes down to how strong
00:59:30.960 Less than 20 years ago
00:59:31.360 It comes down to how strong
00:59:32.980 The sister is
00:59:33.680 And how willing she is to heal
00:59:35.420 How willing she is to make her future better
00:59:37.320 Okay
00:59:37.560 I've got about seven minutes of the show left
00:59:39.120 Can we just talk more about
00:59:40.260 Let's say healing
00:59:40.880 Sister Fahima
00:59:41.440 So for example
00:59:42.300 What advice would you give
00:59:42.960 Somebody who's divorced
00:59:43.640 A sister or a brother
00:59:44.940 And they're like
00:59:46.540 You know what
00:59:47.040 I don't want to live anymore
00:59:48.560 I've got nothing to look forward to
00:59:49.840 What would you give
00:59:50.900 An advice to the sister
00:59:51.820 Who's watching this
00:59:52.520 Who's divorced recently
00:59:53.840 It is definitely a grieving process
00:59:56.520 So basically you need to take time
00:59:58.440 To understand the steps
00:59:59.340 That you're going to be going through
01:00:00.140 Certain feelings and emotions
01:00:01.340 And you would be advised
01:00:03.040 To speak to somebody
01:00:03.720 Who can help you unravel that
01:00:05.300 Regardless of how it ended
01:00:06.880 And who's
01:00:07.640 Who is it
01:00:08.560 The male or the female
01:00:09.560 I think it really is important
01:00:11.300 That you know
01:00:11.900 You seek some sort of advice
01:00:13.360 Outside family
01:00:14.820 Outside friends
01:00:16.360 So that you can actually
01:00:17.440 Get through the process
01:00:18.380 A lot more
01:00:19.180 Easier and quicker
01:00:20.980 And it can be quicker
01:00:22.020 If it's done in the correct manner
01:00:23.480 But I think that generally
01:00:24.860 Women will find it
01:00:26.720 A lot more heartbreaking
01:00:28.020 And I do feel that
01:00:29.280 As much as you say
01:00:30.220 That women initiate it
01:00:31.540 Regardless of how
01:00:33.040 Independently financial they are
01:00:34.920 They don't want to break
01:00:36.480 Their homes
01:00:37.140 When they have kids
01:00:38.320 Believe me
01:00:39.020 They really don't
01:00:40.140 And you know
01:00:41.180 If they are forced to
01:00:42.100 It's under very extreme circumstances
01:00:44.160 A majority of Muslim women
01:00:45.920 That I know
01:00:46.580 Coaching around the world as well
01:00:47.980 They really don't want that
01:00:49.440 Because they actually know
01:00:50.360 What you guys are thinking
01:00:51.320 About a divorced woman
01:00:52.340 So a lot of the times
01:00:53.460 It is not their choice
01:00:55.260 And they do not go for it
01:00:57.100 So let's just get that
01:00:58.060 Out of the head as well
01:00:58.880 Because
01:00:59.260 Yeah
01:01:00.040 Alhamdulillah
01:01:01.080 You just got me back
01:01:03.140 From last episode
01:01:04.000 No no
01:01:04.580 There's no getting back
01:01:05.460 I don't do that
01:01:06.020 Yes
01:01:06.320 No I mean
01:01:08.300 Women have to
01:01:09.380 Take accountability
01:01:10.600 Thank you
01:01:11.540 Okay it's not like that
01:01:12.760 I don't think
01:01:13.200 All the women
01:01:13.820 They don't want to get divorced
01:01:14.860 There's women
01:01:15.600 They don't really
01:01:16.200 Unless there's a reason
01:01:17.360 After the divorce
01:01:18.940 And they'll say
01:01:19.620 I don't know
01:01:21.620 I've done it
01:01:22.380 I've just done
01:01:23.840 I felt like doing it
01:01:24.760 I felt out
01:01:25.480 For it
01:01:26.600 He's a good guy
01:01:27.380 He's a great man
01:01:28.180 I regret it now
01:01:29.320 A lot of women
01:01:32.220 Are easily influenced today
01:01:33.740 Okay
01:01:34.500 You have to understand
01:01:35.340 I've had
01:01:37.920 Couples divorcing
01:01:39.840 Or
01:01:40.040 Friends to divorce
01:01:41.280 Like
01:01:41.920 About three weeks ago
01:01:43.340 At a sister
01:01:44.760 Who in front of me
01:01:45.740 And her husband
01:01:46.900 Three of us online
01:01:48.100 Said that
01:01:49.160 Well if I would have known
01:01:50.920 That he has an issue
01:01:51.760 With my social
01:01:52.380 Media
01:01:53.640 Activity
01:01:55.380 I would have not
01:01:55.920 Married him
01:01:56.400 Like I don't really
01:01:57.200 Want to be
01:01:57.720 If he controls me
01:01:58.580 Like that
01:01:58.860 I don't want to
01:01:59.360 And I was like
01:01:59.620 Wait you're going to
01:02:00.120 Choose your social media
01:02:01.520 Or your husband
01:02:02.580 And I said
01:02:03.900 I'm sorry
01:02:04.260 If you'll be my wife
01:02:05.100 I'll
01:02:05.380 Peace out
01:02:06.700 Sorry about that
01:02:07.880 But
01:02:08.460 Like no
01:02:09.320 A lot of sisters
01:02:10.120 They are easily influenced
01:02:11.480 They
01:02:12.060 They have to take
01:02:13.260 Accountability
01:02:13.940 Some divorce
01:02:14.980 For no reason
01:02:15.700 We're talking about
01:02:16.820 Just the good sisters
01:02:17.880 And the good brothers
01:02:18.860 Yes
01:02:19.220 Okay I agree
01:02:19.920 That yes
01:02:20.620 Sisters will have
01:02:21.660 They don't want
01:02:22.180 To break their homes
01:02:22.760 I don't think
01:02:23.240 Anyone wants to
01:02:23.880 I don't think
01:02:24.280 Any man wants
01:02:24.980 To break his house
01:02:25.480 No
01:02:25.660 No way
01:02:26.060 Okay
01:02:26.540 If we're talking
01:02:27.040 About that
01:02:27.480 I do agree
01:02:28.180 If we're talking
01:02:28.640 About just
01:02:29.000 In general
01:02:29.700 That's
01:02:30.080 People being influenced
01:02:31.400 By society
01:02:32.180 By culture
01:02:32.840 By social media
01:02:34.080 Guys will look at
01:02:35.900 What
01:02:36.120 They'll look at
01:02:36.840 Oh she's not as beautiful
01:02:38.760 As the one that I've seen
01:02:39.780 Online
01:02:40.100 They're talking about
01:02:40.540 The new generation
01:02:41.280 Yeah they start
01:02:42.200 Looking at that
01:02:42.780 And the sister will be like
01:02:43.560 Well he's not taking me
01:02:44.220 To Dubai
01:02:44.700 As my friend's
01:02:45.500 Taking her
01:02:45.980 Exactly
01:02:46.780 He's not so romantic
01:02:48.920 As I'm seeing some
01:02:49.940 You know
01:02:50.120 Or this
01:02:50.460 People are influenced
01:02:52.040 And a lot of these
01:02:53.720 Influences
01:02:54.420 Are causing
01:02:56.180 People to fall out
01:02:58.140 They're not coming
01:02:58.940 From Dean
01:02:59.420 They're not coming
01:03:00.040 From this
01:03:00.560 That's the problem
01:03:00.860 Though
01:03:01.080 They're not coming
01:03:02.100 From a generation
01:03:02.780 That values it
01:03:02.940 Who is coming
01:03:04.060 From Dean today
01:03:05.120 How many people
01:03:05.720 Can say
01:03:06.240 We've had great
01:03:07.340 People are praying
01:03:08.180 Fasting and everything
01:03:09.060 And when you
01:03:09.900 Analyze your divorce
01:03:11.120 You go back to it
01:03:12.500 And it's like
01:03:12.800 Well
01:03:13.540 My wife
01:03:15.620 Is not as
01:03:16.820 Beautiful as
01:03:17.720 You know
01:03:18.060 The ones that I've seen
01:03:18.980 I can do better
01:03:19.600 Simple as that
01:03:20.180 Right
01:03:20.500 And then the sister
01:03:21.560 Will be like
01:03:22.160 And the sisters
01:03:23.060 Will say like
01:03:24.760 Yeah but he's not
01:03:25.820 So romantic
01:03:26.480 As this movie
01:03:27.340 That I've seen
01:03:27.980 Or is not
01:03:29.500 I don't feel
01:03:30.320 The same butterflies
01:03:31.180 That I felt
01:03:31.840 At the beginning
01:03:32.680 Of our marriage
01:03:33.220 Yeah because
01:03:33.520 The sisters
01:03:34.100 You have to understand
01:03:35.260 There is this
01:03:36.020 For guys
01:03:38.640 Being romantic
01:03:41.380 Is there at the beginning
01:03:42.800 Maybe that romantic love
01:03:44.100 I think
01:03:44.460 Mohammed was talking about
01:03:46.020 Right
01:03:46.320 The importance of love
01:03:47.320 Right
01:03:47.500 Just in the previous episode
01:03:48.400 I was going to say
01:03:49.180 Something about that
01:03:50.000 But guys are still
01:03:52.560 Going to go on
01:03:53.300 If that romance
01:03:55.260 Is not there
01:03:56.040 Even in today's world
01:03:57.060 Even today's
01:03:58.200 Exactly
01:03:58.580 Okay but women today
01:03:59.960 Men carry on bro
01:04:00.940 I've seen this
01:04:01.720 Wait wait
01:04:02.400 Yes
01:04:03.120 Let me finish
01:04:03.900 Let me
01:04:04.460 Let me clarify that
01:04:06.860 Yeah
01:04:07.060 Today's
01:04:08.340 We're not talking about
01:04:09.100 The great brother
01:04:09.980 And the great sister
01:04:11.000 Who are religious
01:04:11.760 That you know
01:04:12.440 That
01:04:12.660 I'm talking about
01:04:14.560 Today's social media
01:04:16.200 Let's say Gen Z
01:04:17.580 Gen Z
01:04:18.960 After 2000
01:04:20.040 The guys
01:04:21.260 Even if they're not
01:04:22.080 In love anymore
01:04:22.760 They're going to carry on
01:04:23.840 The sisters
01:04:24.560 It seems
01:04:25.260 That when they lose
01:04:26.840 That romantic
01:04:27.540 Attachment
01:04:28.680 And that love
01:04:29.260 And they start comparing
01:04:30.200 And so on
01:04:30.680 They will fall out
01:04:32.180 They start looking
01:04:33.680 For other
01:04:34.220 And like I was looking
01:04:35.340 Like 2017
01:04:36.080 For example
01:04:36.780 It scared me
01:04:37.280 2017
01:04:38.240 Was the year
01:04:40.420 That women
01:04:41.620 Started cheating on men
01:04:42.580 More than men
01:04:43.280 Cheat on women
01:04:44.080 Okay
01:04:45.180 They used to
01:04:46.440 Men used to cheat more
01:04:47.360 But now 2017
01:04:48.400 This is non-Muslim
01:04:49.860 Men but women
01:04:50.480 Yeah but it's important
01:04:51.300 To understand the dynamics
01:04:53.040 No no it's coming
01:04:53.740 In Muslim
01:04:54.360 I'm getting more cases
01:04:55.520 No no no
01:04:56.360 Yeah
01:04:56.820 Yes
01:04:57.940 So see this is important
01:04:59.580 Where is this stemming from
01:05:00.680 This is important
01:05:01.080 Because
01:05:01.360 So women
01:05:02.560 What I
01:05:02.940 Again what we hear
01:05:04.440 From sisters
01:05:05.100 Is that
01:05:05.540 They lose
01:05:07.280 They don't feel
01:05:08.200 The passion anymore
01:05:09.120 They don't feel
01:05:10.080 The love anymore
01:05:10.980 He doesn't love me anymore
01:05:12.320 He doesn't look at me
01:05:13.020 The same way
01:05:13.640 Women are complaining
01:05:15.160 More right now
01:05:15.900 That men
01:05:16.360 Don't give intimacy
01:05:17.360 I mean
01:05:18.600 Pornography
01:05:19.420 Pornography plays a role
01:05:20.860 That's an issue
01:05:20.960 But let's not
01:05:21.580 You know
01:05:21.900 It's a different issue
01:05:22.760 But yes
01:05:23.120 But women are
01:05:23.740 Relationship issue
01:05:24.540 Guys used to be like
01:05:25.380 Oh I'm not getting enough
01:05:26.420 Now women are saying
01:05:28.060 That he's not this
01:05:29.180 He's not loving
01:05:29.400 They're becoming more like the men
01:05:30.460 Yes there is
01:05:32.220 And we can talk about that as well
01:05:33.620 I was going to go to that
01:05:34.400 There's a huge issue
01:05:35.260 So
01:05:35.580 Again the question is
01:05:37.540 Is why
01:05:38.120 Yeah that's probably another topic
01:05:41.960 Can I just add a point
01:05:46.640 With what the brother said
01:05:47.740 I have to agree and disagree
01:05:51.660 I find that men today
01:05:53.580 Are following the shahwah
01:05:55.360 More than our fathers
01:05:56.480 And our grandfathers
01:05:57.400 Our fathers and our grandfathers
01:05:59.300 May Allah bless them
01:06:00.480 They used to stay
01:06:02.580 Even if the next door girl
01:06:04.540 Young girl
01:06:06.000 Was beautiful
01:06:07.020 They would stay with their wife and kids
01:06:08.740 I found them
01:06:09.340 They were more resistant to fitna
01:06:11.700 I'm talking about
01:06:12.720 The previous generation
01:06:13.600 They will preserve
01:06:14.820 The family cell
01:06:15.620 I'm not saying they were perfect
01:06:16.680 I'm saying that the preservation
01:06:18.060 In my culture
01:06:19.480 Of family cell
01:06:21.140 We talk about women
01:06:22.660 Mashallah
01:06:22.940 They were patient
01:06:23.680 They were like
01:06:24.540 They had a lot of sabr
01:06:25.960 But we don't talk enough
01:06:27.040 About our fathers
01:06:27.860 They stayed
01:06:29.020 Many of them
01:06:29.860 I'm not saying all of them
01:06:30.760 Many of them stayed
01:06:32.120 And I want to just add a point
01:06:33.680 With the fact that
01:06:34.800 Thinking about all that
01:06:36.360 One of the main issues
01:06:37.900 That causing divorce today
01:06:39.260 Is the lack of
01:06:40.400 Real masculinity in men
01:06:41.800 And the lack of
01:06:42.760 Feminity in women
01:06:43.940 Women are turning into men
01:06:45.420 But no one talks about
01:06:46.460 The fact that
01:06:46.920 Men are turning into women
01:06:48.140 They have this passion
01:06:49.640 I want to be loved
01:06:50.640 I want the next
01:06:51.260 That's one of the causes
01:06:53.220 Of divorce
01:06:54.220 Sister Sol
01:06:55.400 What happens with
01:06:56.600 The rise of Andrew Tate
01:06:57.880 And for example
01:06:58.680 Many people like that
01:06:59.540 Is we don't come and say
01:07:01.200 You are like a woman
01:07:03.060 We say
01:07:03.800 How to be a man
01:07:04.640 So yes
01:07:05.680 You don't hear much of
01:07:06.560 No no because
01:07:07.480 The fact that
01:07:08.340 They are talking about
01:07:09.340 How to get your
01:07:10.180 Regaining masculinity
01:07:11.280 But one of the masculine
01:07:12.600 Things to do
01:07:13.380 Is to stay
01:07:14.720 In your marriage
01:07:15.580 Fight for your marriage
01:07:16.460 Be a good provider
01:07:17.360 Be a good protector
01:07:18.600 A good carer
01:07:19.360 Brothers are losing that
01:07:20.980 I understand but sister
01:07:21.760 You said that
01:07:22.220 You said that our fathers
01:07:23.440 You said that our
01:07:23.980 You said your fathers
01:07:25.660 Who would stay
01:07:26.180 If they saw another
01:07:27.760 A woman
01:07:28.320 They were good providers
01:07:29.460 And carers
01:07:30.100 Yes sister
01:07:30.580 I understand 100%
01:07:31.420 But guess what
01:07:32.020 These sisters today
01:07:33.500 Are divorcing their husbands
01:07:34.820 Because he wants to get married again
01:07:36.820 It's a different topic
01:07:37.620 But I'm just touching up on it
01:07:38.620 No that's not the majority of
01:07:40.220 No sister
01:07:40.940 Very simple
01:07:41.920 Simple question
01:07:42.680 Sister Aya
01:07:44.160 Please
01:07:44.620 Be brutally honest
01:07:45.800 If you had a good husband
01:07:47.580 Good husband
01:07:48.300 Protector
01:07:48.660 Provider
01:07:49.100 Very good etc
01:07:49.960 He goes and gets a second wife
01:07:51.440 Are you staying in that marriage
01:07:52.240 Please be brutally honest
01:07:53.360 I will consider it
01:07:55.920 Oh you liar
01:07:57.000 No you can't
01:07:58.300 No
01:07:58.740 Sorry
01:07:59.240 I was in a position once
01:08:05.500 But I actually did have to consider that
01:08:07.240 Okay
01:08:08.040 May Allah bless you
01:08:09.080 You are a very
01:08:09.900 You are very rare
01:08:11.540 Sister what you said
01:08:12.360 With our forefathers
01:08:14.820 Not our own fathers
01:08:15.960 Right
01:08:16.260 Again
01:08:17.100 Do you know whether they
01:08:18.560 They stayed in a marriage
01:08:19.940 I agree with you
01:08:20.860 Do we know they didn't cheat
01:08:23.200 No
01:08:23.860 Exactly
01:08:24.520 Do they know they didn't go to other
01:08:26.120 Wait
01:08:26.460 Let me just
01:08:27.140 Guys had more access
01:08:28.920 To
01:08:29.600 To
01:08:31.180 Express their sexuality
01:08:33.600 For the longest time
01:08:35.180 We are
01:08:35.560 Reaching a
01:08:36.820 A time now
01:08:37.860 Where women have gained more freedom
01:08:40.040 Where they are
01:08:40.620 Now allowed to
01:08:41.680 What is inside
01:08:42.340 To match the outside
01:08:42.980 Yes
01:08:43.480 This is the crisis
01:08:44.540 Men have done it for a long time
01:08:45.700 I am just saying that
01:08:46.460 Tradition has preserved certain things
01:08:48.260 Tradition has preserved a marriage
01:08:50.100 But that doesn't mean that people were
01:08:51.760 Necessarily
01:08:52.620 Loyal
01:08:53.900 It's true
01:08:54.220 Okay
01:08:54.660 What is true today is that men
01:08:56.860 Will mess around
01:08:58.340 And they'll leave
01:08:59.200 Because they're not able to
01:09:00.740 Stick
01:09:01.280 And to take care of the family
01:09:02.580 And have leader skills
01:09:03.460 They will
01:09:04.260 They will
01:09:04.600 That's true
01:09:05.200 That's true
01:09:05.580 But now the problem is that
01:09:06.900 Women are now doing
01:09:08.680 The same
01:09:09.460 I'm sorry
01:09:10.120 But will I be honest with you
01:09:10.980 I'm looking at
01:09:11.560 Look before it was back in the days
01:09:12.920 Men
01:09:13.280 Like let's be honest
01:09:14.180 Back in the days
01:09:14.580 Men used to be abusing their wives
01:09:16.040 All kind of stuff
01:09:16.700 Yeah
01:09:16.860 And cheating
01:09:17.520 100%
01:09:18.260 Cheating
01:09:18.600 All that kind of stuff
01:09:19.200 Today
01:09:20.000 I'm sorry
01:09:20.520 I've been talking this
01:09:21.140 I speak to some
01:09:21.620 Sisters and sisters group
01:09:22.460 Yeah
01:09:22.660 They're in absolute denial
01:09:24.260 Yeah
01:09:24.680 Absolute denial
01:09:25.720 Women are causing
01:09:26.960 Not all
01:09:27.440 Not all
01:09:27.900 Not all
01:09:28.420 Some women
01:09:29.500 A lot of them
01:09:30.460 Are causing havoc
01:09:31.800 Why not
01:09:32.920 Look for example
01:09:33.780 The husband goes and gets a second wife
01:09:35.040 Honest
01:09:35.500 Yeah
01:09:35.740 Boom
01:09:36.360 Divorce
01:09:36.860 Forget divorce
01:09:37.380 Divorce
01:09:38.200 I'm going to accuse you of rape
01:09:39.120 I'm going to accuse you of paedophilia
01:09:40.760 I'm not going to show you your kids
01:09:42.860 Why
01:09:43.360 Because he went and got a second wife
01:09:45.920 Yeah
01:09:46.340 In an honourable way
01:09:47.380 And the point is
01:09:48.260 When we talk about this
01:09:48.980 It's an honourable way that he's done it
01:09:51.180 I'm not talking about
01:09:51.720 A different story
01:09:52.860 The thing is here
01:09:53.860 If we look at statistics
01:09:54.740 Women initiate divorce more
01:09:56.000 Number one
01:09:56.520 Number two
01:09:57.380 This is very interesting
01:09:58.560 That means men are willing to stay in the marriage
01:10:00.420 You always go back to polygamy being the main issue
01:10:02.940 Forget polygamy
01:10:03.520 Forget polygamy
01:10:04.120 I'm sorry
01:10:04.480 Forget polygamy
01:10:05.320 It's not
01:10:05.840 There's deeper issues
01:10:06.940 I never said
01:10:07.860 Sister Soul
01:10:09.320 I never said polygamy is the main issue
01:10:10.660 It is one of the causes
01:10:11.600 I have to agree
01:10:12.600 But where did I say polygamy is the main issue
01:10:14.540 We're talking about cheating
01:10:14.560 We're talking about haram
01:10:15.460 We're talking about alcohol
01:10:16.280 Okay
01:10:16.600 Sister Soul
01:10:17.300 Sister Soul
01:10:17.700 One second
01:10:18.920 Can I finish
01:10:19.700 Mr. Monogamous
01:10:21.200 So-called man
01:10:22.320 Yeah
01:10:22.460 Listen
01:10:22.900 When did I say
01:10:24.200 When did I say
01:10:25.340 When did I say
01:10:26.080 When did I say
01:10:26.740 Polygamy is the main issue of divorce
01:10:27.980 I'm not saying that
01:10:29.720 One second
01:10:30.340 One second
01:10:30.840 Let's speak
01:10:31.560 He's giving an example
01:10:33.080 One second
01:10:33.660 One second
01:10:34.280 When did I
01:10:34.980 But his example
01:10:35.900 Always goes back
01:10:36.720 No no no
01:10:37.220 Let me tell you something
01:10:38.420 The brothers that I deal with here
01:10:39.980 Because we're talking about something
01:10:41.100 That is done
01:10:41.680 That is permissible
01:10:42.880 How many men are married
01:10:45.680 No no no
01:10:46.540 They don't
01:10:46.900 No no
01:10:47.740 I'm not saying
01:10:48.480 The cause of divorce
01:10:49.400 Is polygamy
01:10:50.140 I'm giving an example
01:10:51.300 Our counsellor
01:10:52.220 Or the sister
01:10:53.080 Or the brother
01:10:53.640 Can we
01:10:53.960 Is it the
01:10:54.940 Can we just
01:10:56.000 Can we just
01:10:57.740 Can we just
01:10:57.760 Can we just understand the point
01:10:58.920 I did not say
01:10:59.800 That the reason why there's divorce
01:11:01.400 Is because polygamy
01:11:02.040 How many men get involved in polygamy
01:11:03.560 Not much
01:11:03.980 I'm not talking about that
01:11:05.180 I'm giving one example
01:11:06.260 The point is
01:11:07.340 That if a woman
01:11:08.500 Statistics show
01:11:09.340 And we also know
01:11:10.520 From the Quran and the Sunnah
01:11:11.320 That the man has the power of talaq
01:11:12.740 That means the woman
01:11:13.880 Is initiating the divorce
01:11:14.960 More than a man
01:11:15.600 So it seems like
01:11:16.860 The man is willing
01:11:17.740 To stay in the marriage
01:11:18.860 And the woman
01:11:20.000 Is more inclined to
01:11:21.180 Saying
01:11:21.520 Let's go our separate ways
01:11:22.860 So I'm saying
01:11:23.960 Can that be a
01:11:25.160 Connectional cause
01:11:26.040 To why divorces are happening
01:11:27.540 I'm not saying
01:11:28.520 This is the woman to blame
01:11:29.980 But why is there
01:11:31.260 A trend now
01:11:32.100 That not trend
01:11:33.160 But statistics
01:11:34.140 Show us
01:11:35.140 That women are initiating it more
01:11:36.720 Yes
01:11:37.220 And now you said
01:11:38.860 That women are now
01:11:39.560 Cheating more
01:11:40.320 Yeah okay
01:11:41.060 And there's the example
01:11:42.140 Of for example
01:11:42.720 And not every woman of course
01:11:43.640 And the example of
01:11:44.740 Like you said
01:11:45.160 Men don't lower their gaze
01:11:46.080 When it comes to other women
01:11:46.980 Women don't lower their gaze
01:11:48.200 When it comes to that
01:11:49.020 Her husband's doing this
01:11:50.000 For this person
01:11:51.060 So the issue at hand
01:11:52.500 I think
01:11:52.960 It's a broad topic
01:11:54.400 But final statement
01:11:55.520 Because I think
01:11:55.940 Maybe we'll need to have
01:11:56.600 A part two of this
01:11:57.400 Yeah
01:11:57.600 But
01:11:58.600 Gabriel let's start
01:12:00.100 Right
01:12:00.540 So I think
01:12:01.460 The 21st century
01:12:02.800 Has revealed a lot to us
01:12:04.040 Women
01:12:05.240 Understanding the fitrah of women
01:12:07.460 The fitrah of men
01:12:08.200 Yes
01:12:08.560 What's more
01:12:10.840 Change
01:12:11.460 Or what has changed more
01:12:12.660 It's hard to
01:12:14.140 To understand
01:12:15.060 But definitely
01:12:15.700 Both have been affected
01:12:16.600 I think
01:12:17.800 What we've discovered though
01:12:19.280 With men
01:12:20.280 We've kind of
01:12:20.940 Understood men
01:12:21.860 For the past few centuries
01:12:23.100 You know
01:12:24.020 Men are still
01:12:24.860 You know
01:12:25.380 They're capable of violence
01:12:26.740 They're capable of wars
01:12:28.240 They
01:12:28.580 You know
01:12:29.120 We're very
01:12:29.800 In terms of
01:12:32.320 You know
01:12:32.500 Our temperament
01:12:33.160 And so on
01:12:33.520 It's kind of known
01:12:34.400 Right
01:12:34.600 I mean
01:12:34.880 Men
01:12:35.380 We've kind of
01:12:36.520 We're able to assess them
01:12:37.580 We're simple creatures
01:12:39.080 The only thing that's happening
01:12:40.460 With men right now
01:12:41.280 Is that
01:12:41.560 They're even losing that
01:12:42.720 As the sister said
01:12:43.720 They're kind of becoming
01:12:44.460 More feminine
01:12:45.140 They're being emasculated
01:12:46.180 It has to deal with
01:12:47.620 A lot of things
01:12:48.220 And women
01:12:49.000 Culture
01:12:49.460 With women now
01:12:51.360 I think we're learning
01:12:52.600 More about their fitrah
01:12:53.680 And because
01:12:54.820 Of the freedom
01:12:56.720 That's been given
01:12:57.460 Yeah
01:12:58.000 We're able to now
01:12:59.780 Understand
01:13:00.600 More
01:13:01.840 Of what was suppressed
01:13:03.080 Inside
01:13:03.560 Right
01:13:04.840 So
01:13:05.520 Culture
01:13:07.060 Family
01:13:07.920 Certain customs
01:13:09.120 And of course
01:13:09.680 Definitely religion
01:13:10.500 Suppressed women
01:13:13.200 But see
01:13:14.720 It's not a bad
01:13:15.220 Let me
01:13:15.920 It's not a
01:13:16.520 Negative suppression
01:13:17.620 Necessarily
01:13:19.000 Right
01:13:19.200 I think that's
01:13:21.880 Going to be another discussion
01:13:23.080 But it suppressed women
01:13:24.420 To the point that
01:13:25.280 We didn't know
01:13:26.500 What's inside
01:13:27.100 Now with freedom
01:13:29.140 Women are
01:13:30.940 Able to express
01:13:32.000 A lot more
01:13:32.580 What's inside
01:13:33.340 Which has become
01:13:34.560 More dangerous
01:13:35.140 Yeah
01:13:35.360 If you look at
01:13:36.080 Not necessarily
01:13:37.260 If you look at
01:13:38.040 If you look at
01:13:39.320 The
01:13:39.600 Ahkam
01:13:40.640 That deal with women
01:13:41.980 In the Sharia
01:13:42.620 They're more strict
01:13:43.940 Yes
01:13:44.640 A lot of people
01:13:45.480 Don't understand the reason
01:13:46.400 Yes
01:13:46.960 Okay
01:13:47.400 They don't understand
01:13:47.860 Why it's more
01:13:48.680 Strict
01:13:49.220 Why do women
01:13:50.120 Have to wear hijab
01:13:50.800 Why not us
01:13:51.300 Why do they have to
01:13:51.760 Have a woolly
01:13:52.160 A guardian
01:13:52.740 Why do they have to
01:13:52.920 Many many issues
01:13:55.140 Mahram to go
01:13:56.020 Many things
01:13:57.080 Actually by the way
01:13:57.860 And
01:13:59.440 It is because
01:14:00.800 They're easily influenced
01:14:01.740 Women are easier
01:14:02.720 To influence
01:14:03.300 There are studies
01:14:04.040 That show that
01:14:04.500 One of the studies
01:14:05.320 That I read
01:14:06.020 Recently
01:14:07.260 The
01:14:07.600 Summary of it
01:14:09.580 The last sentence
01:14:10.480 Was
01:14:10.940 That
01:14:12.100 The rule of thumb
01:14:13.680 When it comes to
01:14:14.280 The female psychology
01:14:15.160 Is that
01:14:16.820 What's
01:14:18.920 Inside
01:14:19.540 Is not necessarily
01:14:20.220 Going to be reflected
01:14:21.060 On the outside
01:14:22.200 Because of modesty
01:14:22.880 The process
01:14:24.300 Said
01:14:24.700 Right
01:14:25.220 So
01:14:25.600 I think
01:14:26.160 The concept
01:14:26.860 Of haya
01:14:27.460 Hijab
01:14:28.420 And so on
01:14:28.840 Is so important
01:14:29.460 For women
01:14:29.820 To
01:14:30.020 To literally
01:14:30.880 To submit
01:14:31.780 And submission
01:14:32.640 Is to an extent
01:14:34.120 Is suppressing
01:14:35.220 Yourself
01:14:36.520 Right
01:14:37.400 Willingly
01:14:38.060 For the sake
01:14:38.620 Of Allah
01:14:39.000 Is to protect
01:14:40.220 That fitrah
01:14:40.840 Because if that
01:14:41.900 Fitrah is let loose
01:14:43.200 And I read today
01:14:44.040 A beautiful statement
01:14:44.960 Causes havoc
01:14:45.540 Then men
01:14:46.360 Are tested
01:14:47.320 With their loyalty
01:14:48.400 When they're given power
01:14:49.280 Yes
01:14:49.980 Women are tested
01:14:50.900 With their loyalty
01:14:51.620 When they're given freedom
01:14:52.580 Wow
01:14:53.220 Okay
01:14:53.660 So when you look today
01:14:55.040 And again
01:14:55.500 As the Prophet
01:14:55.900 Was said
01:14:56.200 You will follow them
01:14:57.120 Inge by inch
01:14:58.040 Into the whole
01:14:58.800 The sahaba said
01:14:59.920 Oh ya Rasulullah
01:15:00.620 The Jews and the Christians
01:15:01.260 You said who else
01:15:02.000 When you look
01:15:04.240 And it's important
01:15:05.040 To look
01:15:05.640 And compare
01:15:06.720 And draw parallels
01:15:07.620 Between
01:15:08.020 I mean these guys
01:15:09.600 Are not too far from us
01:15:10.360 Bro they're just
01:15:10.780 Across the street
01:15:11.380 Like we're not living
01:15:12.240 In
01:15:12.560 Yes
01:15:12.860 In
01:15:13.100 Not Saudi Arabia
01:15:14.940 Let's say
01:15:15.360 But we're not living
01:15:16.180 In like
01:15:16.680 I don't know
01:15:18.900 Sudan
01:15:19.780 Or something
01:15:20.460 Right
01:15:20.740 We're here
01:15:22.180 They're here next to
01:15:23.140 They're our neighbors
01:15:23.860 We go to school with them
01:15:25.060 They're our teachers
01:15:25.980 They're our doctors
01:15:27.240 We are very close
01:15:28.760 Right
01:15:29.740 So
01:15:30.360 It's important
01:15:31.220 To see where
01:15:31.820 They've gone
01:15:32.360 Yes
01:15:32.780 Right
01:15:33.300 I would argue
01:15:34.520 That
01:15:35.180 When a man
01:15:37.900 Is given
01:15:38.300 Certain freedoms
01:15:39.460 There's still
01:15:40.720 Even a non-Muslims
01:15:41.600 Bro will have
01:15:42.080 A certain limit
01:15:42.860 Right
01:15:44.080 Because it
01:15:44.580 Goes against
01:15:45.420 Your manhood
01:15:46.260 To pass that limit
01:15:47.280 Even the non-Muslims
01:15:48.460 Are going to stop
01:15:49.200 At a certain level
01:15:49.880 Let's take
01:15:50.720 For example
01:15:51.040 Alcohol
01:15:51.440 The way a man
01:15:52.600 Behaves with alcohol
01:15:53.360 And the way a woman
01:15:53.980 Behaves with alcohol
01:15:54.700 And it's more harmful
01:15:55.440 For a woman by the way
01:15:56.420 Because it's a way
01:15:57.080 By the way
01:15:57.840 It's just an example
01:15:58.940 It's just an example
01:15:59.860 When a man
01:16:00.820 Is given that freedom
01:16:02.220 And loses those senses
01:16:03.660 He's going to stop
01:16:05.080 We might fight
01:16:06.140 We might
01:16:06.660 Probably most like
01:16:07.560 That's what's going to happen
01:16:08.240 Yeah
01:16:08.500 We're going to fight
01:16:09.280 When a woman's given alcohol
01:16:11.280 It's like spring break
01:16:13.400 Yeah
01:16:13.980 And you know
01:16:14.960 It's true though
01:16:17.420 Modesty goes first
01:16:18.060 Exactly
01:16:18.340 And that's exactly
01:16:19.220 What they want
01:16:19.680 That's why they
01:16:20.160 Target the woman first
01:16:21.160 And they do target that
01:16:21.940 And I don't want to
01:16:22.780 Again
01:16:23.060 I know people
01:16:23.640 No it's the haq bro
01:16:24.960 Who cares about
01:16:25.740 What people say
01:16:26.160 Think about it
01:16:26.540 Just analyse
01:16:27.180 I never realised
01:16:28.280 That's from me
01:16:28.660 So the sharia
01:16:30.020 Is in the end
01:16:30.780 Islam actually
01:16:31.420 Is the solution
01:16:32.180 For all our problems
01:16:32.980 Absolutely
01:16:33.220 And you see that
01:16:34.120 That's why it comes
01:16:34.600 To promiscuity
01:16:35.160 That's why it's called
01:16:35.660 Submission
01:16:36.120 Yes
01:16:36.440 Now it's at a high level
01:16:38.800 Like we said
01:16:39.160 And alcohol affects
01:16:39.860 A woman more
01:16:40.300 Because of her anatomy
01:16:41.060 Where she's created
01:16:41.900 And even
01:16:43.080 It has a big impact
01:16:45.240 It's a discussion
01:16:45.760 We can carry on
01:16:46.560 Just finish on last
01:16:47.840 The MSPs quickly
01:16:48.420 Because we've got
01:16:48.800 Can I just want to
01:16:49.420 Talk about the healing
01:16:50.120 Part just to conclude
01:16:51.100 Please
01:16:51.300 That's what we need
01:16:52.460 Inshallah
01:16:52.700 That's why I want
01:16:53.080 The divorce sisters
01:16:53.840 All the brothers
01:16:55.460 That are divorcee
01:16:56.340 Yes
01:16:56.640 Bring the mic a bit
01:16:57.600 Cross
01:16:57.760 And please just
01:16:59.260 Don't move on
01:16:59.880 To the next person
01:17:00.800 Thinking that
01:17:01.600 That person
01:17:02.240 Will fix you
01:17:03.320 And will help you heal
01:17:04.520 That's your responsibility
01:17:05.900 In front of Allah
01:17:06.640 That's your own
01:17:08.220 Journey to take
01:17:08.940 That person can support you
01:17:10.340 While you already
01:17:11.100 Started this journey
01:17:12.020 And my sisters
01:17:12.960 I will address my sisters
01:17:14.800 Because that's why
01:17:15.280 I'm used to
01:17:16.020 I address the divorce healing
01:17:18.480 It starts with the
01:17:19.640 Kabul
01:17:20.020 And Tawakul
01:17:21.040 That's the two words
01:17:21.960 I always mention
01:17:22.680 To the sisters
01:17:23.300 Kabul in a way
01:17:24.720 That you accept
01:17:25.620 That it's not necessarily
01:17:27.600 A punishment
01:17:28.180 Like the brother
01:17:29.340 Was explaining
01:17:29.900 That very often
01:17:30.780 Is the guilt feeling
01:17:33.400 You know
01:17:33.800 It's my fault
01:17:34.460 Even if the person
01:17:35.240 Left you
01:17:35.760 Very often
01:17:36.500 You will get
01:17:36.820 I didn't do this
01:17:37.560 Same things
01:17:38.500 It's your fault
01:17:39.460 Self-accountability
01:17:40.680 Self-reflection
01:17:41.320 Very good
01:17:41.780 It's a beautiful blessing
01:17:42.680 How do you know
01:17:43.420 When you've healed them
01:17:44.240 And went to
01:17:45.200 Where is that
01:17:46.600 Where is that
01:17:47.120 That line
01:17:48.080 That okay
01:17:48.540 I'm healed now
01:17:49.320 And I can move on
01:17:51.320 And the person
01:17:52.220 Is going to support me
01:17:53.040 Because I believe that
01:17:53.980 I think it's
01:17:55.640 It's hard to tell
01:17:56.420 It's very hard to tell
01:17:57.780 Another person
01:17:58.860 Who really commits to
01:18:00.560 Can be part of the healing
01:18:02.340 Absolutely
01:18:02.940 They can help you heal
01:18:03.860 To move on
01:18:04.760 I have met sisters
01:18:08.500 That are moving on
01:18:09.380 To marriage
01:18:09.940 They're not healed
01:18:10.920 You can clearly say
01:18:11.740 They're still angry
01:18:12.740 The way they speak
01:18:14.360 About their ex-marriage
01:18:15.500 It's all the husband's fault
01:18:16.940 It's all him
01:18:17.960 And there is a lot of
01:18:19.100 Anger
01:18:19.500 Resentment
01:18:20.340 And they are really
01:18:21.560 Hoping that
01:18:22.140 That guy will fix
01:18:23.400 Whatever happened
01:18:24.220 I am not saying
01:18:25.180 He doesn't help you
01:18:26.020 He can help you
01:18:26.940 And I hope you find
01:18:28.120 Someone inshallah
01:18:28.680 My sister
01:18:29.100 Limited
01:18:29.500 In a time frame
01:18:30.520 Will help you
01:18:31.000 But
01:18:31.500 And the second part
01:18:33.320 Was tewekul
01:18:34.120 Put your trust
01:18:35.100 In Allah Azza wa Jal
01:18:35.960 That no matter
01:18:36.520 What happened to you
01:18:37.420 My biggest try
01:18:38.480 And I'm going to talk
01:18:39.020 On a personal level
01:18:39.800 Became my biggest blessing
01:18:41.880 Open my eye
01:18:42.880 Bring me back
01:18:43.640 To Allah Azza wa Jal
01:18:44.400 In a way that was
01:18:45.340 I was always a jibabi
01:18:46.560 Always like that
01:18:48.080 But
01:18:48.420 The blessing
01:18:50.000 You know
01:18:50.800 Inna ma'al
01:18:51.320 Usi yusra
01:18:52.500 You know the
01:18:53.240 The success
01:18:54.500 That Allah Azza wa Jal
01:18:56.100 Give you
01:18:56.480 When you accept
01:18:57.340 The test
01:18:57.980 When you understand
01:18:59.000 The deepness of it
01:18:59.840 And the khair
01:19:00.500 That Allah Azza wa Jal
01:19:01.540 If you're looking for
01:19:02.740 Hub
01:19:03.020 Love
01:19:03.920 Allah Azza al-mahboob
01:19:05.060 If you are worried
01:19:06.100 About the rizq
01:19:06.720 Allah Azza al-razaq
01:19:07.840 If you are looking
01:19:08.500 For a friend
01:19:09.300 Someone to confine to
01:19:10.720 Allah Azza al-wali
01:19:11.720 Remember who is your lord
01:19:13.240 And I always advise
01:19:14.060 The first advice
01:19:14.820 I give to my sisters
01:19:15.760 That goes through
01:19:17.180 That struggle
01:19:17.600 And Wallahi my brothers
01:19:18.720 They are suffering
01:19:19.860 And it's a very big
01:19:21.020 Big test
01:19:21.600 I am not
01:19:22.480 On the mining
01:19:23.300 Brothers test
01:19:24.040 I'm just talking
01:19:24.980 About what I mean
01:19:25.620 From a female perspective
01:19:26.900 Again maybe
01:19:27.660 Sister
01:19:28.260 How do you know
01:19:29.600 A woman healed
01:19:30.760 Where's
01:19:31.580 How do you
01:19:32.120 Where do you reach
01:19:33.160 That love
01:19:33.620 And you're like
01:19:33.880 Okay you know
01:19:34.240 I heal
01:19:35.180 I don't think you ever heal
01:19:35.840 I'm going to be honest
01:19:36.840 Yeah you don't ever
01:19:39.500 I think if you're ready
01:19:40.580 To move on
01:19:41.200 You're ready to move on
01:19:42.200 Right
01:19:43.080 I really do think that
01:19:44.500 But in that time
01:19:45.900 Of moving on
01:19:46.680 You do need to have
01:19:47.880 Self reflection
01:19:49.080 You do need to take steps
01:19:50.440 To have self development
01:19:51.500 And advise your partner
01:19:54.360 Your future partner
01:19:55.360 Or your spouse
01:19:56.360 At the time
01:19:56.920 That you are going through it
01:19:58.440 So there's support
01:19:59.140 And they're able to handle it
01:20:00.420 It's true
01:20:00.700 I'm going to wrap up
01:20:01.400 But it's interesting
01:20:02.080 But you know one thing as well
01:20:03.060 You said
01:20:03.360 Sometimes you never heal
01:20:04.760 Yeah
01:20:05.300 And I think maybe
01:20:05.900 It is that
01:20:06.540 And seem to go with the brothers
01:20:07.500 We need to accept it
01:20:07.960 I can cry now
01:20:08.940 Just talking about it
01:20:09.880 100%
01:20:10.380 You know
01:20:10.680 If I was to go really deep
01:20:11.720 It doesn't mean you're not healed
01:20:12.820 It doesn't mean I healed
01:20:13.520 Exactly
01:20:13.980 Exactly
01:20:14.300 So that's why
01:20:14.980 I think
01:20:15.380 That's why
01:20:15.800 The brothers were saying that
01:20:17.260 Sometimes brothers
01:20:18.200 Are a little bit apprehensive
01:20:19.280 Because they're like
01:20:19.760 Okay if the healing
01:20:20.540 Is not totally there
01:20:22.160 But then again
01:20:22.900 Like I said
01:20:23.240 It's a discussion
01:20:24.060 Where look
01:20:24.420 Some sisters
01:20:25.060 They go for the divorce
01:20:26.000 And it makes them the better
01:20:26.920 Sorry can I just add
01:20:28.780 Something about healing
01:20:30.580 How can you assess someone
01:20:32.280 If the person is healed or not
01:20:34.580 Next
01:20:34.880 Next
01:20:35.360 Next
01:20:35.580 No no no
01:20:37.020 That for the next episode
01:20:38.240 You're going to get that
01:20:38.760 Sister Aya finished
01:20:39.420 About your question
01:20:40.480 How do you know
01:20:41.120 If you're healed
01:20:41.820 So I don't think
01:20:43.300 We're always going to
01:20:45.560 Be fully healed
01:20:46.520 Because there's always
01:20:47.240 Going to be triggers
01:20:47.900 Regardless of what phase
01:20:49.440 You are in your life
01:20:50.140 But it's knowing yourself
01:20:52.160 Who you are
01:20:53.140 And I think it's
01:20:53.780 Putting yourself in a mindset
01:20:54.600 Is if I was to be faced
01:20:55.920 With the situation again
01:20:56.780 Tomorrow
01:20:57.120 How would I react
01:20:58.240 What would I do differently
01:20:59.700 Do I have enough
01:21:01.020 Confidence in me
01:21:02.060 To know that I can
01:21:03.120 Tame the situation
01:21:04.940 That I can control
01:21:05.760 My anger
01:21:06.400 And my own
01:21:07.480 Nuffs or whatever
01:21:08.880 It may be that triggers you
01:21:10.160 It's knowing that
01:21:11.440 I'm believing in it
01:21:11.920 So we have to believe
01:21:12.760 In ourselves
01:21:13.300 That our marriage
01:21:13.940 Will work because
01:21:14.740 Of the hard work
01:21:15.300 We've put in
01:21:16.000 We can't just go
01:21:17.420 In it blindly
01:21:18.000 Yes it's great
01:21:18.840 That they could assist us
01:21:20.040 But if you are
01:21:21.180 As I said
01:21:22.020 I think you're always healing
01:21:22.960 So there's always
01:21:23.980 Going to be somebody
01:21:24.460 There to assist you
01:21:25.300 I mean your partner
01:21:25.860 Will always assist you
01:21:26.720 But you don't want
01:21:27.920 To go into a marriage
01:21:28.840 And almost saying
01:21:29.860 Right here's my baggage
01:21:31.140 It's 50% there
01:21:32.700 I've dealt 50% with it
01:21:34.020 The rest you sort of
01:21:35.380 Need to guide me on
01:21:36.420 Because they could have
01:21:37.260 Their own traumas
01:21:38.220 Or their own problems
01:21:39.760 That they're also
01:21:40.520 Healing with
01:21:41.020 And it's somewhat unfair
01:21:42.280 I think if you work together
01:21:43.760 As a team
01:21:44.560 Then that's different
01:21:46.060 But I don't entirely
01:21:47.680 Think it's fair
01:21:48.260 To put it on them
01:21:48.840 It's just knowing
01:21:49.420 Within yourself
01:21:50.020 Yes I can handle this
01:21:51.340 I am closer to Allah
01:21:52.320 And I believe in myself
01:21:53.380 May Allah bless you
01:21:54.420 Sister Aya

01:22:12.960 The Prophet
01:22:13.720 Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
01:22:14.440 Said
01:22:14.760 Whoever builds a masjid
01:22:16.340 For the sake of Allah
01:22:17.080 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
01:22:17.700 Allah will build for him
01:22:19.620 A similar house
01:22:20.760 In Jannah
01:22:21.420 On that day
01:22:22.580 Where Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
01:22:23.540 Tells us
01:22:24.220 That our books will be given
01:22:25.440 And every little
01:22:27.040 At and weight
01:22:27.760 Of good deed of done
01:22:28.600 Will be there
01:22:29.460 And imagine
01:22:30.380 You see a mountain
01:22:31.460 And you're like
01:22:32.300 What a lucky person
01:22:33.320 Which righteous person
01:22:34.860 And Allah says
01:22:36.200 This is for you
01:22:36.940 For me?
01:22:37.980 Yes
01:22:38.360 What did I do?
01:22:40.000 You
01:22:40.400 Allowed people to pray
01:22:41.480 You built a masjid
01:22:42.520 I never had the money
01:22:43.340 To build a masjid
01:22:43.940 Oh Allah
01:22:44.240 You helped
01:22:45.600 You gave towards it
01:22:46.800 And Allah gives you
01:22:47.480 The reward
01:22:47.940 Of as if you've built it
01:22:49.300 Donate now guys
