00:00:00.000 Shariah Law
00:00:30.000 I don't see many women 1.00
00:00:32.000 There is some women there 1.00
00:00:34.000 More men though
00:00:36.000 You have a lot of sisters here as well
00:00:38.000 But usually these muslims 1.00
00:00:40.000 You have to be careful of them 0.90
00:00:42.000 I would encourage
00:00:44.000 If you can get this book
00:00:46.000 The woman in the text
00:00:48.000 It was written by my teacher
00:00:50.000 It talks about all the misconceptions
00:00:52.000 About wife beating
00:00:54.000 The two witnesses to man
00:00:56.000 All of that is mentioned there
00:00:58.000 This is how it worked
00:01:00.000 Men had rights
00:01:02.000 The donkey had rights
00:01:04.000 And then it was a woman 1.00
00:01:06.000 Now women were treated like 1.00
00:01:08.000 Prostitutes 1.00
00:01:10.000 They had no rights 1.00
00:01:12.000 When Islam came 1.00
00:01:14.000 You can look in the Quran 0.99
00:01:16.000 If you read it for yourself
00:01:18.000 It gave the woman a right to own property 1.00
00:01:20.000 Before the woman was a property 1.00
00:01:22.000 Why does that woman worth half of a man? 1.00
00:01:24.000 Why does that woman worth half of a man? 1.00
00:01:26.000 Half of what?
00:01:28.000 It says woman worth half of a man 1.00
00:01:30.000 Don't it the Quran?
00:01:31.000 No, no, no
00:01:32.000 It's talking about witness testimony
00:01:33.000 In specific situations
00:01:34.000 Okay
00:01:35.000 So when it came to Saudi Arabia
00:01:37.000 Women had no rights 1.00
00:01:38.000 They were inherited
00:01:39.000 So for example
00:01:40.000 If I went to war
00:01:41.000 My wife died
00:01:43.000 My brother will inherit it
00:01:44.000 Like she's property
00:01:46.000 So she's like a property 0.95
00:01:47.000 Hey, you're mine now
00:01:48.000 Islam came to abolish that 1.00
00:01:50.000 Surah Nisa Allah talks about
00:01:51.000 That Allah came to demolish that 1.00
00:01:54.000 Because women are not property 1.00
00:01:55.000 The women were given the rights 0.95
00:01:56.000 That feminists were fighting to get them 1.00
00:01:58.000 100 years ago
00:01:59.000 The right to vote
00:02:00.000 The right to own property
00:02:01.000 The right to choose who you want to marry 0.64
00:02:03.000 The right to not adopt your husband's surname
00:02:05.000 Are you guys married?
00:02:06.000 No, not yet
00:02:07.000 If you get married they call me to the wedding
00:02:08.000 Yeah?
00:02:09.000 You don't need to adopt this surname
00:02:11.000 Why do you need to adopt this surname for?
00:02:12.000 Why?
00:02:13.000 You don't have to
00:02:14.000 Simple as that
00:02:15.000 The right to work
00:02:16.000 Even when it comes to
00:02:18.000 For example
00:02:19.000 In Islam we have something called
00:02:21.000 If
00:02:22.000 If I have a sister
00:02:23.000 My dad leaves a hundred grand
00:02:25.000 Yeah?
00:02:26.000 Hopefully
00:02:27.000 If he leaves a hundred grand
00:02:28.000 Yeah?
00:02:29.000 I
00:02:30.000 Blood money
00:02:31.000 No no
00:02:32.000 Not blood money
00:02:33.000 I get 66 grand
00:02:34.000 She gets 34 grand
00:02:35.000 Yeah?
00:02:36.000 Now from the outset
00:02:37.000 It looks like
00:02:38.000 Hold on a second
00:02:39.000 That's injustice
00:02:40.000 Yeah?
00:02:41.000 But look at the way it works
00:02:42.000 The 34 grand that she gets
00:02:43.000 I can't touch a penny
00:02:44.000 Her husband can't touch a penny 0.53
00:02:46.000 Point number one
00:02:47.000 The money that I get
00:02:48.000 I need to spend it on my mum
00:02:49.000 I need to spend it on my sister
00:02:50.000 Probably her wedding
00:02:51.000 And I need to spend it
00:02:52.000 On my wife
00:02:53.000 Yeah?
00:02:54.000 Now in Islam 0.77
00:02:55.000 When you want to marry a woman 1.00
00:02:56.000 You have to go for the father
00:02:58.000 Why do you need to go for the father?
00:03:00.000 Because
00:03:01.000 We believe Islam has come to protect the rights of women
00:03:04.000 Because
00:03:05.000 A lot of the time
00:03:06.000 Women get messed around 1.00
00:03:07.000 Yeah?
00:03:08.000 There's a lot of players out there
00:03:09.000 I'm sure I hope you're not one of them
00:03:10.000 Yeah?
00:03:11.000 Gonna get in trouble
00:03:12.000 Okay?
00:03:13.000 So why?
00:03:14.000 Because
00:03:15.000 If I want to marry a woman 1.00
00:03:16.000 I want to marry her 0.95
00:03:17.000 Lie to her
00:03:18.000 For roses in the air
00:03:19.000 I'm Romeo
00:03:20.000 Yes, let's get married
00:03:21.000 Use her and say bye bye 0.87
00:03:22.000 Islam has come to you 1.00
00:03:23.000 Stop this
00:03:24.000 Why?
00:03:25.000 Because if I want to marry her
00:03:26.000 If she says to me
00:03:27.000 Come and speak to my dad
00:03:28.000 If I'm a player
00:03:29.000 I don't want to see your dad
00:03:30.000 I don't want to talk to your dad at all
00:03:31.000 Yeah?
00:03:32.000 So
00:03:33.000 It's there to protect you
00:03:34.000 Why?
00:03:35.000 Because if somebody wants to marry my daughter 0.99
00:03:36.000 A man knows a man
00:03:37.000 I'm gonna question him
00:03:38.000 I'm gonna interrogate him 1.00
00:03:39.000 I might even electrocute him 1.00
00:03:40.000 Yeah? 0.98
00:03:41.000 No, let me tell you how
00:03:42.000 First stage is what?
00:03:44.000 As a father
00:03:45.000 I speak to the boy
00:03:46.000 I interrogate him
00:03:48.000 Okay?
00:03:49.000 Why do you want to marry my daughter?
00:03:50.000 He needs to have
00:03:51.000 Make sure
00:03:52.000 That he's got people to answer to
00:03:53.000 If he messes around
00:03:54.000 Yeah?
00:03:55.000 Number one
00:03:56.000 Number two
00:03:57.000 The woman has a right for dowry 1.00
00:03:58.000 You know what dowry is?
00:03:59.000 So for example
00:04:01.000 If you want to marry him
00:04:03.000 You can ask for whatever you like
00:04:04.000 10 grand, 20 grand, 50 grand
00:04:06.000 Maybe you won't get married
00:04:07.000 Because you might not have the money
00:04:08.000 Of course
00:04:09.000 Yeah, no, no, no
00:04:10.000 That's your right
00:04:11.000 That's your protection
00:04:12.000 That's not really a good right though
00:04:13.000 Let me tell you why
00:04:14.000 Let me tell you why sister
00:04:15.000 Let me tell you why
00:04:16.000 That right is yours
00:04:17.000 Yeah?
00:04:18.000 So the reason why it's yours
00:04:19.000 Is because
00:04:20.000 Number one
00:04:21.000 Again, if this man is after the wrong intention
00:04:23.000 And he just wants to sleep with you
00:04:25.000 He will think to himself
00:04:26.000 Why would I pay 20 grand?
00:04:28.000 I could just go
00:04:29.000 It ain't worth the money
00:04:31.000 It ain't worth the money
00:04:32.000 But if he really loves you
00:04:33.000 He wants to spend the rest of his life with you
00:04:35.000 That's your right
00:04:36.000 He will give you that 20 grand
00:04:37.000 Now that 20 grand belongs to you
00:04:38.000 So when I was talking about my sister
00:04:40.000 She got 34 grand, yes?
00:04:41.000 Yeah
00:04:42.000 I got 66 grand
00:04:43.000 I'm spending it on my wife
00:04:45.000 My sister, my mum
00:04:47.000 She keeps the 34 grand
00:04:49.000 On top of that when she gets married 1.00
00:04:50.000 She's asking for dowry 0.98
00:04:51.000 Let's say it's
00:04:52.000 Let's say it's 16 grand
00:04:53.000 For argument
00:04:54.000 Say we'll round it up
00:04:55.000 She has now 50 grand
00:04:56.000 Her husband cannot touch one pound of that
00:04:59.000 He has to provide for her
00:05:01.000 He has to do shopping for her
00:05:02.000 He has to make sure she's got the latest
00:05:04.000 Maybelline
00:05:05.000 Let's talk about what she has to do
00:05:07.000 No, no, this is what I'm talking about
00:05:08.000 No, no, this is the point
00:05:09.000 If women knew the rights of 1.00
00:05:11.000 She just has to do what women do 1.00
00:05:12.000 For example
00:05:13.000 Yeah
00:05:14.000 And I understand that they have the right to buy
00:05:15.000 They have the right to work
00:05:16.000 They have the right to work
00:05:17.000 They have the right to work
00:05:18.000 How often do you see that?
00:05:20.000 Sorry bro
00:05:21.000 How often do you see a Muslim woman 0.98
00:05:22.000 How independent work
00:05:23.000 No, no, she can't
00:05:24.000 She can't
00:05:25.000 The prophet's wife 0.89
00:05:26.000 Why?
00:05:27.000 No, no, what I'm saying is sister
00:05:28.000 Look
00:05:29.000 Is it recording?
00:05:30.000 Is the camera recording?
00:05:31.000 Is the red light on?
00:05:32.000 Just double check
00:05:33.000 Yeah, okay
00:05:35.000 So now sister look
00:05:36.000 The prophet's first wife 0.97
00:05:37.000 Was a business woman
00:05:38.000 She proposed to the prophet
00:05:40.000 Women in Islam can work
00:05:42.000 Do you want to put them down sister?
00:05:43.000 If you want you can put them down
00:05:44.000 If they're hurting your hand
00:05:46.000 The thing is sister
00:05:47.000 If a woman wants to work 1.00
00:05:48.000 She has a right to work 1.00
00:05:50.000 The western women were not given these rights 0.98
00:05:52.000 Until the feminists start going in a mad one 1.00
00:05:55.000 All these rights I'm telling you
00:05:56.000 The western women got it 100 years ago 1.00
00:05:58.000 When the Muslim women had it 1400 years ago 1.00
00:06:00.000 One of the first universities built by
00:06:02.000 It was by a Muslim woman
00:06:03.000 Yeah?
00:06:04.000 So women are encouraged to study 0.94
00:06:06.000 If they want to work, they can work
00:06:07.000 But what it says is that
00:06:09.000 It's your choice
00:06:10.000 If she says look
00:06:11.000 I want to be
00:06:12.000 I want to look after my kids
00:06:13.000 She has that right
00:06:14.000 And the husband has to provide for her 1.00
00:06:16.000 The husband can't say 0.77
00:06:17.000 Oh I'm not earning enough
00:06:18.000 Go work
00:06:19.000 She can choose to
00:06:20.000 But she can turn around and say 1.00
00:06:21.000 No
00:06:22.000 It's your responsibility
00:06:24.000 I believe
00:06:25.000 Every woman would love that
00:06:26.000 Because your job
00:06:27.000 Doesn't mean like you're in the kitchen
00:06:29.000 It just means
00:06:30.000 If you want to be a mother
00:06:32.000 To your children
00:06:33.000 This housewife to them 1.00
00:06:34.000 I don't like the housewife 1.00
00:06:35.000 Yeah? Okay?
00:06:36.000 But it's just
00:06:37.000 If you want to stay at home
00:06:38.000 That's your right
00:06:39.000 But today the society has made it
00:06:40.000 That women have to go and work 1.00
00:06:42.000 Yeah?
00:06:43.000 And a lot of women 1.00
00:06:44.000 Like Korea women 1.00
00:06:45.000 Recently they're coming out
00:06:46.000 They're in their 40s
00:06:47.000 They don't have any kids
00:06:48.000 And they actually curse the feminist movement
00:06:50.000 Why?
00:06:51.000 Because they're thinking
00:06:52.000 Okay, Korea, Korea
00:06:53.000 Now I'm in my 40s
00:06:54.000 What am I supposed to do?
00:06:55.000 To be honest
00:06:56.000 We're quite old fashioned
00:06:57.000 So I don't disagree with that
00:06:58.000 I don't agree with the man goes out
00:06:59.000 I don't disagree with that
00:07:00.000 Yeah
00:07:01.000 Yeah
00:07:02.000 But it's like when you say
00:07:03.000 You want Sharia for everyone 1.00
00:07:05.000 Blah blah blah
00:07:06.000 You see the Islams come in now 1.00
00:07:07.000 To abort 1.00
00:07:08.000 And get rid of that 1.00
00:07:09.000 So that they're not treated like shit 1.00
00:07:11.000 Yes 0.99
00:07:12.000 How is that actually effective now?
00:07:13.000 Is that the new
00:07:14.000 Is the Sharia law being rewritten?
00:07:16.000 I mean
00:07:17.000 No, no, no
00:07:18.000 That's
00:07:19.000 If you want us to follow Sharia 1.00
00:07:20.000 Not Islam 1.00
00:07:21.000 So it's the Sharia law 0.95
00:07:22.000 But it's still
00:07:23.000 Where's the
00:07:24.000 Up to date one then?
00:07:25.000 Yeah
00:07:26.000 Okay, so for example
00:07:27.000 No, sister
00:07:28.000 This Sharia law I'm talking about 0.98
00:07:29.000 The reason why
00:07:30.000 You're thinking
00:07:31.000 It's a new update
00:07:32.000 Is because you've been told
00:07:33.000 Something else about Sharia 0.86
00:07:34.000 So when I'm telling you this
00:07:35.000 You're thinking
00:07:36.000 This is news to me
00:07:37.000 You said that before
00:07:38.000 That Sharia 1.00
00:07:39.000 No, no
00:07:40.000 No, no
00:07:41.000 No, no, no
00:07:42.000 Sorry, sorry
00:07:43.000 You've misheard me
00:07:44.000 Before Islam came 1.00
00:07:45.000 Before the Sharia came 1.00
00:07:46.000 The pagan Arabs used to do this 1.00
00:07:48.000 The Sharia came with these rights for the women 1.00
00:07:50.000 There was no Sharia before 1.00
00:07:51.000 It was pagan Arabs 1.00
00:07:53.000 Training women like dirt 1.00
00:07:55.000 Yeah 0.78
00:07:56.000 Sharia came to abolish that 1.00
00:07:57.000 And say 1.00
00:07:58.000 Women are not your garbage 1.00
00:07:59.000 I'd be intrigued to actually read the Sharia 0.99
00:08:01.000 I can't really say
00:08:02.000 I haven't read it for them
00:08:03.000 You should get this
00:08:04.000 This book, sister
00:08:05.000 Is very, very good
00:08:06.000 This book
00:08:08.000 The woman in the text
00:08:09.000 You can order it on Amazon
00:08:10.000 I think it's three, four pounds
00:08:11.000 Yeah?
00:08:12.000 It's very good
00:08:13.000 You can read it for yourself
00:08:14.000 But it would really, really
00:08:15.000 Open your eyes
00:08:16.000 Yeah?
00:08:17.000 Did someone take my book?
00:08:18.000 Oh, there is
00:08:19.000 Okay, I thought someone took it
00:08:20.000 Yeah?
00:08:21.000 So the thing is, sister
00:08:22.000 All you need to do is this
00:08:23.000 Open your mind
00:08:24.000 And read it for yourself
00:08:25.000 Not this person said this
00:08:26.000 This person said that
00:08:27.000 Because then you will see
00:08:28.000 That the rights a Muslim woman has 0.76
00:08:30.000 In Islam
00:08:31.000 Yeah?
00:08:32.000 And it's all there
00:08:33.000 To protect your right
00:08:34.000 You know?
00:08:35.000 Because you shouldn't
00:08:36.000 In today's society 0.95
00:08:37.000 Women are treated as sexual objects 1.00
00:08:38.000 What on earth has a chocolate bar 0.99
00:08:40.000 Got to do with a naked woman? 1.00
00:08:41.000 I don't understand
00:08:42.000 What has a car
00:08:43.000 Got to do with a woman? 1.00
00:08:44.000 So the issue, sister
00:08:45.000 Is Islam has come 1.00
00:08:46.000 To preserve that
00:08:47.000 You're
00:08:48.000 Look, why do I call you sister?
00:08:49.000 Because I respect you
00:08:50.000 You're like my sister
00:08:51.000 If I see someone harassing you
00:08:52.000 I will go and stop it
00:08:53.000 Why?
00:08:54.000 Because I treat you like my sister
00:08:55.000 So when I say sister
00:08:56.000 I'm not saying it for the sake of it
00:08:58.000 I see you like my own sister
00:09:00.000 I respect you
00:09:01.000 And this is how we should be
00:09:02.000 With everybody
00:09:03.000 We should have that respect
00:09:04.000 But today
00:09:05.000 It's not like that
00:09:06.000 You speak to a woman 0.93
00:09:07.000 All you're thinking about
00:09:08.000 In your head
00:09:09.000 Is God knows
00:09:10.000 What kind of stuff?
00:09:11.000 Women are made to be 1.00
00:09:12.000 Like a sexual object 1.00
00:09:13.000 And we're saying 0.97
00:09:14.000 You're a human being
00:09:15.000 You're a soul
00:09:16.000 You have rights
00:09:17.000 Why should you be walking down the street
00:09:18.000 And being whistled at
00:09:19.000 Cat calling
00:09:20.000 Is this your value?
00:09:21.000 And that's why I feel sad sometimes
00:09:23.000 When I look at society
00:09:24.000 And I see females 0.94
00:09:25.000 Dressing up a certain way
00:09:27.000 Why?
00:09:28.000 Because men
00:09:29.000 Have pressure on them
00:09:30.000 Society has pressure
00:09:31.000 You need to wear this makeup
00:09:32.000 Your hair needs to look this way
00:09:33.000 Your body has to look this way
00:09:34.000 Why?
00:09:35.000 Be yourself
00:09:36.000 Do you know what I'm trying to say?
00:09:37.000 Establish
00:09:38.000 Between having everything
00:09:39.000 And having everything covered
00:09:40.000 With your eyes
00:09:41.000 Where do we draw the line?
00:09:42.000 Ok
00:09:43.000 In Islam
00:09:44.000 It tells you
00:09:45.000 You should cover everywhere
00:09:46.000 Except your face and your hands
00:09:47.000 The women who wear the naqab 1.00
00:09:49.000 They go that extra mile
00:09:50.000 The Quran doesn't say that
00:09:52.000 Even though something different
00:09:53.000 That it does
00:09:54.000 There's a difference of opinion
00:09:55.000 However
00:09:56.000 The reason why
00:09:57.000 That is their sister
00:09:58.000 I'm not saying
00:09:59.000 That
00:10:00.000 When you wear that 0.98
00:10:01.000 Men are not going to want to rape you 1.00
00:10:03.000 A rapist rapes 1.00
00:10:04.000 Regardless 0.98
00:10:05.000 However
00:10:06.000 What it is sister
00:10:07.000 Is that for example
00:10:08.000 I was speaking to a lady
00:10:10.000 About two weeks ago
00:10:11.000 And she was here
00:10:12.000 And
00:10:13.000 I'm sorry to say this
00:10:15.000 She was out
00:10:16.000 Like full out
00:10:17.000 And I was talking to her
00:10:19.000 I had to talk to her like this
00:10:20.000 Yes sister
00:10:21.000 I couldn't look at her
00:10:22.000 Now
00:10:23.000 Why?
00:10:24.000 Because I respect her
00:10:25.000 Now even though
00:10:26.000 I believe she can dress
00:10:27.000 However she likes 0.92
00:10:28.000 But what it is
00:10:29.000 As men
00:10:30.000 God has created us
00:10:31.000 In a certain way
00:10:32.000 That our weakness is a woman 1.00
00:10:33.000 Yeah?
00:10:34.000 That's how it is
00:10:35.000 So now
00:10:36.000 When a woman covers up 1.00
00:10:37.000 Let's say her face
00:10:38.000 And she's covering up
00:10:39.000 Yeah?
00:10:40.000 It protects her
00:10:41.000 To a certain extent
00:10:42.000 Where
00:10:43.000 When a man is talking 0.98
00:10:44.000 He's talking to her
00:10:45.000 Not to her
00:10:47.000 Yeah?
00:10:48.000 So it's there
00:10:49.000 For a man
00:10:50.000 To
00:10:51.000 Preserve his eyes
00:10:52.000 And also for a woman
00:10:53.000 It's a form of modesty
00:10:54.000 Yeah?
00:10:55.000 Now
00:10:56.000 I don't say
00:10:57.000 That a woman who doesn't wear the hijab 1.00
00:10:58.000 Is a
00:10:59.000 I don't say that
00:11:00.000 Yeah?
00:11:01.000 Because you might be
00:11:02.000 In attitude and behaviour
00:11:03.000 Modesty
00:11:04.000 Better than a woman 1.00
00:11:05.000 Who observes a hijab 1.00
00:11:06.000 But she does it 0.99
00:11:07.000 She does wrong things 1.00
00:11:08.000 And you don't
00:11:09.000 Yeah?
00:11:10.000 She has the struggle
00:11:11.000 Inner modesty
00:11:12.000 You may have the struggle
00:11:13.000 Of the outer modesty
00:11:14.000 But the issue why is there sister
00:11:15.000 Is to give you rights
00:11:16.000 Like I said before
00:11:17.000 Women are sexualised 1.00
00:11:18.000 Objectified 0.96
00:11:19.000 You have girls
00:11:20.000 Who go to university
00:11:21.000 Yeah?
00:11:22.000 And they have to pay for their student loans
00:11:23.000 They have to go strip clubs to work 0.84
00:11:24.000 Why?
00:11:25.000 Why does she have the field 0.99
00:11:26.000 To sell her body
00:11:27.000 Is it fair to make a child
00:11:28.000 To wear a hijab?
00:11:29.000 Okay
00:11:30.000 Now
00:11:31.000 That's the same thing I see
00:11:32.000 When you see
00:11:33.000 Young girls
00:11:34.000 Four, five, six years old
00:11:35.000 Yeah?
00:11:36.000 Yeah?
00:11:37.000 I think like
00:11:38.000 And obviously like religion is
00:11:39.000 Practised continuously
00:11:40.000 But I'm saying
00:11:41.000 They should have a chance to be children
00:11:42.000 Yeah?
00:11:43.000 They should be playing in the park
00:11:44.000 They should be kicking the ball
00:11:45.000 They should be drawing
00:11:46.000 They should have to be
00:11:47.000 Like have stuff
00:11:48.000 In my opinion
00:11:49.000 Like falls down their throats
00:11:50.000 Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:11:51.000 100%
00:11:52.000 Just because they cover their hair
00:11:53.000 Doesn't mean they cover their brain
00:11:54.000 Yeah?
00:11:55.000 You have scientists
00:11:56.000 Who are Muslim women
00:11:57.000 In hijab
00:11:58.000 Yeah?
00:11:59.000 Now
00:12:00.000 At what age?
00:12:01.000 Usually the age is said seven
00:12:02.000 Seven is a good age to start 1.00
00:12:03.000 Getting her to use the hijab 1.00
00:12:05.000 Me personally
00:12:06.000 I wouldn't
00:12:07.000 I have a daughter
00:12:08.000 I wouldn't get her to wear it at
00:12:09.000 Three, four, etc.
00:12:10.000 Do you get it?
00:12:11.000 But the whole point is just to get her used to it
00:12:12.000 Yeah?
00:12:13.000 And obviously she's still playing
00:12:14.000 Look
00:12:15.000 She can still go play 0.86
00:12:16.000 The hijab doesn't stop her from going 0.97
00:12:17.000 No, no, no
00:12:18.000 I'm just saying
00:12:19.000 But I'm saying
00:12:20.000 When I see
00:12:21.000 When I see people
00:12:22.000 When I see a family like that
00:12:23.000 I sit there and I think like
00:12:24.000 Yeah
00:12:25.000 With the children
00:12:26.000 Have they got a choice in order to do that?
00:12:28.000 Or is that something that's being forced
00:12:29.000 Is that something that's being forced upon them
00:12:31.000 Be it this
00:12:32.000 You know because it's sort of
00:12:33.000 Because they're trying to follow
00:12:34.000 They're following in the footsteps of their parents
00:12:35.000 Aren't they?
00:12:36.000 Okay
00:12:37.000 So they should be able to have some sort of
00:12:38.000 They should be able to
00:12:39.000 If they want to wear it
00:12:40.000 They can wear it
00:12:41.000 If they don't want to
00:12:42.000 It doesn't mean they're less of a Muslim
00:12:43.000 Does it?
00:12:44.000 No, okay
00:12:45.000 100%
00:12:46.000 If you have children
00:12:47.000 Yeah
00:12:48.000 Okay, you have a daughter
00:12:49.000 Yeah, you would want the best for your daughter
00:12:50.000 Yeah
00:12:51.000 So now if you tell your daughter
00:12:52.000 For example
00:12:53.000 Something
00:12:54.000 You tell her something
00:12:55.000 Yeah
00:12:56.000 Now, you're not forcing her
00:12:57.000 You believe that's what's best for her
00:12:59.000 So I can't come and say
00:13:00.000 Yeah, let's say children B
00:13:01.000 Why do you have to give her rules? 1.00
00:13:03.000 But you're doing it because
00:13:04.000 You want the best for her
00:13:05.000 Yeah
00:13:05.500 So now
00:13:06.000 The reason why
00:13:07.000 I believe
00:13:08.000 The same age for her 0.91
00:13:09.000 Seven years old to wear the hijab 1.00
00:13:10.000 However
00:13:11.000 Obviously if she goes up
00:13:12.000 And she finds it
00:13:13.000 A struggle
00:13:14.000 It's a sin to take it off
00:13:15.000 However, that's a struggle
00:13:16.000 Yeah
00:13:17.000 As men, I'm told to cover
00:13:18.000 From my navel to my knee
00:13:19.000 I can't
00:13:20.000 When I go swimming
00:13:21.000 I can't show my belly button
00:13:22.000 I have to wear something that
00:13:24.000 Either a long
00:13:25.000 Long johns
00:13:26.000 Yeah
00:13:27.000 Yeah
00:13:28.000 I have to
00:13:29.000 I have to
00:13:30.000 Why?
00:13:31.000 Because Allah has told us
00:13:32.000 That we have to cover from my navel to my knee
00:13:33.000 Yeah?
00:13:34.000 So I have
00:13:35.000 I have to dress up in a certain way as well
00:13:36.000 I can't wear really tight jeans
00:13:37.000 Yeah
00:13:38.000 I'm not allowed to
00:13:39.000 I have to lower my gaze
00:13:40.000 Yeah?
00:13:41.000 Allah says to the believing man and the believing woman 0.99
00:13:42.000 Lower your gazes
00:13:43.000 Protect your private parts 0.95
00:13:44.000 Yeah?
00:13:45.000 So the thing is
00:13:46.000 It's regulated for both of us
00:13:47.000 For a woman it's different 0.63
00:13:48.000 For me it's different
00:13:49.000 You know?
00:13:50.000 It's a lot of struggles that I have
00:13:51.000 I can come and say
00:13:52.000 Why is God making me the head of the household?
00:13:54.000 I don't want to work
00:13:55.000 Let her work 1.00
00:13:56.000 But it's our responsibility
00:13:57.000 And there's things that a woman is doing 1.00
00:13:59.000 That
00:14:00.000 Which might be hard on her
00:14:01.000 Might be easy on me
00:14:02.000 Like I don't have to wear the hijab 1.00
00:14:03.000 Did you get it?
00:14:04.000 Yeah
00:14:05.000 So God has legislated in different ways
00:14:06.000 Why?
00:14:07.000 Because God wants to
00:14:08.000 Protect the family unit
00:14:09.000 You know?
00:14:10.000 So yeah man
00:14:11.000 Look in a nutshell
00:14:12.000 Like I said before
00:14:13.000 If you look into history
00:14:14.000 If you look at woman's rights 1.00
00:14:15.000 Do research
00:14:16.000 You'll be mind blown
00:14:17.000 I was in this
00:14:18.000 I'm telling you
00:14:19.000 And when you were saying that thing
00:14:20.000 About 100 years ago
00:14:21.000 In this country
00:14:22.000 Who was in that said that?
00:14:23.000 Yeah yeah yeah
00:14:24.000 Let me get you
00:14:25.000 It's William something
00:14:26.000 Let me get you
00:14:27.000 You can read it
00:14:28.000 Why?
00:14:29.000 Because when I confronted
00:14:30.000 Tommy Robinson
00:14:31.000 I mentioned it to him there as well
00:14:32.000 Yeah I mentioned it
00:14:33.000 Because it's in the
00:14:34.000 That's when you said
00:14:35.000 It's like the cult one
00:14:36.000 That was funny
00:14:37.000 It took me 3-4 months
00:14:38.000 To find him
00:14:39.000 Well that's how we start
00:14:40.000 What was that book called?

00:14:42.000 You can marry at 7 in this
00:14:44.000 What was the book called?
00:14:45.000 William
00:14:46.000 William Blackstone

00:14:57.000 William Blackstone
00:14:58.000 Okay how far are you?
00:14:59.000 I remember Blackstone
00:15:01.000 Okay no problem
00:15:02.000 William Blackstone
00:15:03.000 The commentary of English law
00:15:04.000 Yeah if you check it there
00:15:05.000 I had a picture of it
00:15:06.000 But I can't find it
00:15:07.000 Yeah
00:15:08.000 It's there
00:15:09.000 Yeah check it out man
00:15:10.000 You know that's why we're here man
00:15:11.000 Just you know
00:15:12.000 Dialogging with people
00:15:13.000 Often discussions
00:15:14.000 And research
00:15:15.000 It opens your eyes
00:15:16.000 Yeah no it's our first time down in today
00:15:17.000 So we'll have a little one there
