This Trend NEEDS To Stop Now! — Transcript

The Muslim Lantern addresses problematic da'wah trends harming Islam's image and urges respectful, responsible behavior in Islamic outreach.

Key Takeaways

  • Da'wah should be conducted with respect, knowledge, and proper manners, not humiliation or insults.
  • Muslims must hold each other accountable and not justify harmful behavior in the name of da'wah.
  • The image of Islam is at stake when da'wah is done irresponsibly, affecting both Muslims and non-Muslims' perceptions.
  • Assertiveness in da'wah is necessary but must be balanced with kindness and dignity.
  • Women’s role in da'wah requires careful consideration regarding appropriateness and mannerisms.

Summary

  • The video warns against a harmful trend among young Muslim da'wat who focus on humiliating others rather than sincere da'wah.
  • The speaker emphasizes watching the entire video before commenting to understand the full context.
  • The issue is not isolated incidents but a widespread approach where da'wah is used to 'defeat' and insult others.
  • There is concern over inappropriate language, insults, and shameless behavior, especially among some sisters involved in da'wah.
  • The video stresses that da'wah should reflect the Prophet’s exemplary manners and uphold the dignity of Islam and the Muslim community.
  • The speaker condemns those who justify or defend this negative behavior simply because the individuals are Muslim or young.
  • It is highlighted that true da'wah requires knowledge, proper manners, and responsibility, not just assertiveness or harshness.
  • The video calls on Muslims to correct and advise those engaging in harmful da'wah rather than blindly supporting them.

Okay, let me be 100% clear. If you're not going to watch the entire video, if you're not going to watch everything I say, please do not comment before you watch because what you're going to say and most likely address it on the video. But watch the entire video. I try to summarize this as much as I can. This is the best I could do. Watch the entire video because it's very important for your own sake. And if you would like to comment, please do so after you actually watch the video or the relevant part to what I'm talking about at the very least.
00:14
Speaker A
Brothers and sisters, you're probably going to be watching this video during Eid sometime. If you are, then Eid Mubarak to you.
00:24
Speaker A
We have a very serious and important topic and issue to talk about today. And we need to address this before this starts to spread even more and get worse and worse. But before I do, I'm going to make this extremely clear. Anybody who's planning on commenting individuals' names, people's names, this person, that person, your comment will be deleted.
00:32
Speaker A
And if you do it repeatedly, you may be blocked. As you guys know, I do sometimes videos like this where I see like there's a big issue, there's an important issue that is happening, like a video I made like two years ago about the DA drama that was going on and the issues that were going on, and I didn't mention people's names because the purpose is not to specifically, you know, correct specific individuals or attack specific individuals. It's about the issue itself. It's about addressing the issue at hand. It's about advising the general public, people understanding, becoming aware of the issue that is taking place. And the individuals, if anybody is doing that wrong thing that I'm about to talk about, they would know, right? They would know. I don't need to mention a person by name. They would know. And I guarantee you when I'm talking about this issue, a lot of people will start having these names pop up in their mind.
00:39
Speaker A
And I would say you are a part of the problem because you are following people who are doing these issues and you're not correcting them. You're not correcting them. You're not advising them, you're not correcting them. In fact, as we will see, some people are even justifying these issues that are happening. So, the point of this video is not the names. The point is to address the topic, address the idea, for Muslims to become aware, to advise the individuals who are doing this in general and to advise the Muslims that are supporting them, justifying what they do and thinking that this is okay.
00:54
Speaker A
And at the same time clarifying to the non-Muslims that if there's a non-Muslim who thinks that this is what Islam teaches, no, no, this is not what Islam teaches. Need to clarify this idea to the individuals and to the people, to the non-Muslims. This is our responsibility. I'm not going to make 100 videos talking about this. I'm not going to be, you know, making videos about individuals.
01:00
Speaker A
This is a video I'm going to leave for people to ponder upon and learn and understand. That's it. That is my responsibility. And whether people listen or not in the end, you know, people will do what they want to do. But I think it's very crucial and important to address this issue. So what's the issue? The issue is that we have today a lot of young duat. Right? Recently, we have a lot of young duat brothers and even recently sisters, we're seeing them right now. They're doing what they would call da'wah. Okay. But the purpose of what they refer to as da'wah is to essentially defeat the other person, humiliate them, dunk on them, make them look like an idiot. All of this stuff.
01:12
Speaker A
This is the purpose. Now, I'm not talking about once in a while, for example, holding someone accountable and pressing them on a point, being assertive with them. I'm not talking about that. You have to be balanced. At some times, you have to be assertive.
01:25
Speaker A
I'm not referring to that at all. I'm talking about the overwhelming majority of the content that is being done. The purpose behind it is, "I destroyed this person. I completely annihilated this person. I finished this person." This idea, right?
01:38
Speaker A
Is like when you have 90% of the content about this idea, about this is the purpose, and then in the discussion when the discussion takes place, you see people using thug-like language. What do I mean by that? Like if slurs, if slurs, insulting people, referring to their body parts, referring to humiliating insults about them and things that they do and stuff like that. I've seen some people like go to extreme extents with insults and I've seen some people like inappropriately addressing women about like things which are, you know, intimate in nature and they're talking about, they're making jokes about it. How is this da'wah? Like how is this da'wah? Someone explain this to me.
01:47
Speaker A
Like how is this Islamic behavior? So I'm not talking about once in a while because nobody is perfect, once in a while making a mistake here and there, saying something here. I'm not referring to that. I'm referring to someone claiming that I'm doing da'wah, right? Representing Islam and then like the entire purpose is just to, you know, humiliate a person, make them look bad, do this, do that. Little on. Now the sisters, there's a lot more issues to talk about, like sisters inappropriately laughing, addressing men in a shameless manner, stuff like this. Like there's a huge issue to talk about and is it even permissible for sisters or women to be doing da'wah in this way or to be doing da'wah, to be in the forefront of the da'wah and to engage and give da'wah? Is that permissible? I'll talk about that in the end of the video. So we need to understand we're representing this religion, representing the ummah as a whole, not just representing ourselves, and we need to keep that in mind. We need to understand this idea. And the people watching us, there's Muslims and there's non-Muslims and there's people who just look for any reason and excuse to essentially, you know, say, "Look, Muslims are bad." Even if they don't, as a Muslim, as a du'at, we need to uphold the highest levels of mannerisms. This is how the Prophet was. No, this is how the people who were doing da'wah, which are the prophets and the messengers, were. This is the characteristic and behavior that we need to take. Otherwise, do not do da'wah. You know, do not do da'wah. Go do something else. If you have issues with mannerisms, if you have issues with addressing people, this is not something for you. When nobody's asking you to be perfect, but this is not for you. You're going to do more harm than good by doing this. The even bigger issue is that we have individuals justifying this behavior. I think this is a bigger issue than the issue itself happening is that you have Muslims saying, "Oh, it's okay.
02:00
Speaker A
No problem. They're this, they're that. They're young, so it's okay. They can do it. They're Muslims, so we're going to defend them even if they're doing wrong." No. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said aid your brother if he's oppressor or he's oppressed. So the companion said if he's oppressed, yes, we'll aid him, but if he's oppressor, how do you stop him from his oppression? We stop the person from his oppression. We don't justify just because we like someone or someone is a Muslim or they're doing da'wah is okay. Yeah. Whatever they do, we're just going to justify that behavior. And I mean look, this behavior is not only new young du'at, it's been existing in old du'at as well. And but it's clear it's also the same issue. This needs to be addressed whether it's the new du'at or the old du'at or whatever. I'm talking about the issue itself, the problem. So people will justify this behavior. For example, you have some people say, "Oh, they're very knowledgeable and they're talking about, for example, the knowledge in Christianity," which I can see in the overwhelming majority and the people in TikTok and this, it's about knowledge in Christianity. They research a few things, learn a few things Islamically. Is this what we consider knowledge when w-
02:12
Speaker A
general and to advise the Muslims that are supporting them, justifying what they do and thinking that this is okay.
02:19
Speaker A
And at the same time clarifying to the non-Muslims that if there's a non-Muslim who thinks that this is what Islam teaches, no no this is not what Islam teaches. Need to clarify this idea to the individuals and to the people to the
02:30
Speaker A
non-Muslims. This is our responsibility. I'm not going to make 100 video talking about this. I'm not going to be uh you know making videos about individuals.
02:36
Speaker A
This is a video I'm going to leave for people to ponder upon and learn and understand. That's it. That's that is my responsibility. And whether people listen or not in the end, you know, people will do what they want to do. But
02:47
Speaker A
I think it's very crucial and important to address this issue. So what's the issue? The issue is that we have today a lot of young duat right recently we have a lot of young duat brothers and even recently sisters we're seeing them right
03:02
Speaker A
now. They're doing what they would call da'ah. Okay. But the purpose of what they refer to as da'wah is to essentially defeat the other person, humiliate them, dunk on them, make them look like an idiot. All of this stuff.
03:16
Speaker A
This is the purpose. Now, I'm not talking about once in a while, for example, holding someone accountable and pressing them on a point, being assertive with them. I'm not talking about that. You have to be balanced. At some times, you have to be assertive.
03:28
Speaker A
I'm not I'm not referring to that at all. I'm talking about to the overwhelming majority of the content that is being done. The purpose behind it is I destroyed this person. I completely annihilated this person. I finished this person. This idea, right?
03:41
Speaker A
is like when you have 90% of the content about this idea about this is the purpose and then in the discussion when the discussion takes place you see people using thug-like language what do I mean by that like if slurs is slurs
03:55
Speaker A
insulting people referring to their body parts referring to humiliating insults about them and things that they do and stuff like that I've seen some people like go to extreme extents with insults and I've seen some people like inapprop appropriately addressing
04:12
Speaker A
women about like things which are you know intimate in nature and they're talking about they're they're making jokes about it. How is this da? Like how is this da? Someone explain this to me.
04:23
Speaker A
Like how is this Islamic behavior? So I'm not talking about once in a while because nobody is perfect once in a while making a mistake here and there saying something here. I'm not referring to that. I'm referring to someone
04:33
Speaker A
claiming that I'm doing dawa, right? Representing Islam and then like the entire purpose is just to you know humiliate a person, make them look bad, do this, do that. little on now the sisters there's a lot more issues to to
04:47
Speaker A
talk about like sisters inappropriately laughing addressing men in a shameless manner stuff like this like there's a huge issue to talk about and is it even permissible for sisters or women to be doing dawa in this way or to be doing
04:59
Speaker A
dawa to be in the forefront of the dua and to engage and give da is that permissible I'll talk about that in the end of the video so we need to understand we're representing this religion representing the um as a whole
05:10
Speaker A
not just representing ourselves and we need to keep that in mind we need to understand this idea And the people watching us there's Muslims and there's non-Muslims and there's people who just look for any reason and excuse to
05:20
Speaker A
essentially you know say look Muslims are bad even if they don't as a um as a Muslim um as as dua we need to uphold the highest levels of mannerisms this is how the prophet was know this is how the
05:33
Speaker A
people who were doing dwah which are the prophets and the messengers were this is the characteristic and behavior that we need to take otherwise do not do dawa you know do not do dawa go do something else. If if you have issues with
05:45
Speaker A
mannerisms, if you have issues with addressing people, this is not something for you when nobody's asking you to be perfect, but this is not for you. You're going to do more harm than good by doing this. The even bigger issue is that we
05:57
Speaker A
have individuals justifying this behavior. I think this is bigger issue than the issue itself happening is that you have Muslims saying, "Oh, it's okay.
06:05
Speaker A
No problem. They're this, they're that. They're young, so it's okay. They can do it. They're they're Muslims, so we going to defend them even if they're doing wrong." No. Prophet wasallam said aid your brother if he's oppressor or
06:17
Speaker A
he's oppressed. So the compan said if he's oppressed yes we'll aid him but if he's oppressor how you stop him from his oppression. We stop the person from his oppression. We don't justify just because we like someone or someone is a
06:27
Speaker A
Muslim or they're doing dawa is okay. Yeah. Whatever they do we're just going to justify that behavior. And I mean look this behavior is not only new young duat it's been existing in old duat as well. And but it's clear it's also the
06:39
Speaker A
same issue. this needs to be addressed whether it's the new duat or the old duat or whatever I'm talking about the issue itself the problem so people will justify this behavior for example you have some people say oh they're very
06:50
Speaker A
knowledgeable and they're talking about for example the knowledge in Christianity which I can see in the overwhelming majority and the people in Tik Tok and this it's about knowledge in Christianity they research a few things learn a few things Islamically is this
07:02
Speaker A
what we consider knowledge when when was addressing the Muslims and saying are you going to ask in the people of the book when we have the book of Allahh he said knowledge Allah said the messenger said this is what we consider beneficial
07:18
Speaker A
knowledge and when you look at these people early 20s or maybe younger or even the teens or whatever and the people are saying are knowledgeable is because a lot of people who are watching themselves are not knowledgeable they're
07:29
Speaker A
ignorant so they see anyone they think this person is is knowledgeable knowledge takes time and most importantly wisdom takes time when you're young when you're whole bloodooded this and that Don't get in the forefront and start like uh unless
07:43
Speaker A
you've spent time with the with the scholars, the people of knowledge. You've learned mannerisms. You learn mannerisms before you learn the knowledge. Immalik he would talk about how his mother would teach him first go tell him go and learn
07:55
Speaker A
manners before you learn the knowledge. So people are are separating these two things. No, they're part of the religion. The prophetam he said I was only sent to perfect manners. He was sent as a mercy for mankind. So we
08:07
Speaker A
cannot justify this behavior that the people are doing. It's completely unexcusable for these Muslims are trying to justify this cursing, insulting, belittling others this and that.
08:18
Speaker A
Prophetam said the believer he's not the he's not the one who curses others, insults them, attacks their their owner or has a filthy language. This is not the believer. And the prophet now is talking about the believer. Now, let
08:32
Speaker A
alone a day, a caller to Islam who is supposed to be on a higher standard than the average believer. We need to to understand you're inviting people to Islam. Look, people are looking at you thinking, "Oh, this is the
08:44
Speaker A
representative of Islam Muslims." Then you have people justifying this behavior. They say things like, "Well, I'll tell you what what they say." They say, "Look, we give them back. We need to give them back the same energy." What is it? We need to give them back
08:56
Speaker A
the same energy. Are we Muslims Muslims? We have our own manners. Manners Allah and the Quran taught us. They have their own like if you even call it manner some of them you can justify this by saying we give them the same energy. Allah says
09:08
Speaker A
in the Quran repel that which is evil with that which is better. Allah doesn't tell us to do the same thing. Now some people say they insult Allah and the messenger. Oh yeah they do insult Allah and the messenger.
09:20
Speaker A
What does Allah tell you to do when you engage with people who insult Allah and the messenger? This is now what people are pretending that they're avoiding.
09:27
Speaker A
They're saying, "Oh, we give them the same energy." No. Is that what Allah told you? No. Allah told us in the Quran in two verses he says if you hear those who are insulting mocking Allah and the messenger or whatever do not sit with
09:36
Speaker A
them do not sit with them leave their place Allah tells us in two places and in the other verse he say he revealed to you if you hear the the verses of Allah do not say with them Allah repeatedly is
09:47
Speaker A
telling you so don't tell me you give them back the same energy Allah told you don't be engaging with these people problem is for purposes of gaining followers or whatever you'd have a lot of these young Muslims go and you
10:00
Speaker A
talk to the Islam of observe. So they go to them and they say don't insult Allah.
10:05
Speaker A
You're going to them and you're bringing Muslims come and watch you because you're a Muslim. So they go watch. It's like a you know football match who's going to score points. Oh this person and the the debate ends. Nobody changes
10:15
Speaker A
anything in most cases. Muslims follow the Muslim, Christians follow the Christian in most cases. Of course there are some benefits that can come out in some debates if it's done the right way.
10:24
Speaker A
This is not the the discussion that we're having right now. But they're talking about the idea that you go to them yourself and then you complain that they insult Allah and the messenger. And then you justify that and say, "I'm
10:33
Speaker A
going to insult them back because they're insulting Allah and the messenger." That's not how it works.
10:36
Speaker A
That's not what Allah told us in the Quran. So do not pick and choose verses.
10:41
Speaker A
Allah told us in the Quran. Do not insult the gods of those people who worship other than Allah because they would insult Allah retribution. You're not supposed to be engaging with these people. You're not supposed to be going
10:52
Speaker A
and talking to them and then behaving the same way that they do. There is a difference between us and them. Then the issue is the people will justify this behavior. How they will justify this behavior? They will go to verses of the
11:01
Speaker A
Quran where Allah for example say that the believers are harsh or firm with the disbelievers. Yeah. Harsh and firm means assertive when need be. Who do we have as an example? Allah told us in the Quran you have in the prophet Muhammad
11:12
Speaker A
wasallam the best of examples. He's the example for us to look at. Did the prophetam was he cursing and insulting and sluring?
11:19
Speaker A
He wasn't. So you and the people who say this they know the prophetam was like this and they know that the default in the dawa you have to be showing the best manners Allah says do not argue with the
11:29
Speaker A
people of the book except with that which is best now except those who transgress look at the this is referring to fighting in war the people who are going to fight so they transgress you'll stop this the transgression it's not
11:40
Speaker A
talking about cursing and insulting some people will go to the you know the s and bring an example of Abu Bakr he said this and did this one time he said this about a goddess of the disbelievers left. They're being in an example where
11:53
Speaker A
we're talking about in the midst of war between believers and disbelievers and the all the companions are being insulted and the prophet is being insulted in his life that the the believers are going to run away and about a certain type of disbelievers
12:08
Speaker A
muharib someone who's an enemy of Islam fighting you in war not an average disbeliever who can be a muah someone you have a treaty with or or a whatever or just a a normal disbeliever. No, we're talking about in war muharim who
12:20
Speaker A
you're going to fight against who were insulting Allah and the messenger and it's from Abuak. It's not from the prophet. Allah didn't tell us take the as your example. He told us to take prophet Muhammad as an example and it's
12:30
Speaker A
one example in the entire s. They go and stick to that. Oh look there is this example without void of all of this context. He did this so I can do this.
12:40
Speaker A
And it's not that I can do this as an exception one time in my life like Abu Bakr Sudik did. No, no. I'm going to do this every day and I'm going to use a justification. One incident that
12:50
Speaker A
happened with a book one time in his life. So this is it's a joke honestly and and that's why I'm saying it needs to be called out and the people who justify this are a part of the problem. Okay, we
13:02
Speaker A
all agree a lot of these of Islam curse and insult and they show the worst manners all in sorts under you guys know I don't need to mention names to you.
13:10
Speaker A
Some baldies and you guys know who I'm talking about. You know that they have the filthiest of mouth. But that is their characteristic. Prophet said that's not the believer. It's not the characteristic of the believer. You cannot behave like them and use it as an
13:24
Speaker A
excuse. Of course, a lot of the Islamophobes I made a post on Twitter like addressing this and saying that this has been happening recently, whatever. And Islamophobes took this as an opportunity, right? Oh, look, he's right this and that because obviously
13:34
Speaker A
they have no real arguments against Islam. So now they're trying to clutch to anything. But that doesn't matter because Allah said that we are the best nation for one reason. We enjoy the good and forbid the evil. As the hadith says,
13:46
Speaker A
the religion is is given advice and that we are the best nation because we advise one another. If someone is doing wrong, we will say they're doing wrong. These people will people should the non-Muslims will see that look we call
13:59
Speaker A
out that bad behavior that happens within our ranks. Now when you look at them, they support each other. They push each other further. When they show this behavior, they just they justify it, make excuses for it. We cannot be like
14:11
Speaker A
this. We call out this behavior clearly. We say this is wrong. And I I want to make something very very very very clear. It's very important. I want to make it clear. Don't get me wrong. I'm more than happy that a lot of youngsters
14:23
Speaker A
are, you know, trying to invol get involved in the dawa, invite people to Islam. Wallah, I'm happy for it. And this is the future that we need. We need we need people who are carry the torch.
14:33
Speaker A
We need new Muslims who are engaged in dawa. But in the right way, in the right manner. As Allah says say oh prophet say this is my way I call to Allah the way of the messenger is the the way we need
14:45
Speaker A
to carry this is the the next generation we need to advise them when I started doing dawah I made them sick here and there the senior brothers would give me advice I would listen to them it's important it's needed it's very very
14:57
Speaker A
important so what's the dangers of this trend so just I can finalize this and get to that last point what is the dangers of this trend the first thing is that it is changing the perception of what Da is in the minds of the people.
15:09
Speaker A
People now they don't understand that da means an invitation where you call to the way of your lord in good mannerisms and good speech. Purpose is not to prove yourself right. Purpose is not to debunk the other and humiliate him and make him
15:21
Speaker A
look like an idiot. Is to call to the people to Allah not to ourselves being winners. So changing the perception of a dwa is supposed to be to a competition like we are in the in the coliseum you
15:32
Speaker A
know and this guy's winning. Oh, let's cheer for that person. No. So that's the biggest danger that you can see is changing the perception of the hour. And obviously also the second thing is it's pushing people away from Islam, some
15:44
Speaker A
non-Muslims and ruining the image of our image for how how we should behave that we need to to present these superior morals that we need to stick to our own morals that our religion teaches.
15:55
Speaker A
And the last thing is that the issue is the influencing the other youth. Some because some youth are doing it now it's influencing the other youth to do the exact same thing to go on these platforms and Tik Tok and this and that
16:06
Speaker A
and then go and they start cursing and insulting and this and that. I saw this person do it. Oh, if he's doing it, he has a YouTube channel then I I must be able to do it too. It must be okay. So
16:17
Speaker A
this trend needs to stop. It's a dangerous trend that needs to to be called out. Needs to be stopped. What do we need to do as Muslims? We need to call this out. Warn the people. If the people persist in their behavior, then
16:27
Speaker A
we tell then we need to boycott them. We need to show clearly as Muslims this is not in line with the teachings of Islam.
16:34
Speaker A
And like I said, someone might have look, I'm not perfect. I do sometimes I would in my dawa make a mistake, not show the best behavior. I'm a human being. It happens. However, we're not talking about the exceptions. We're
16:45
Speaker A
talking about the general rule. We're talking about the general rule. Nobody's perfect. Now if someone is is in most situations he is not good in his behavior he curses he insults then dwa is not for you. I'm sorry to say leave
16:58
Speaker A
that and go do something else. Dawa is not for you. So you understand what we need to do brothers and sisters. Now the last thing I'm going to talk about and I know look I know some people are not
17:08
Speaker A
going to like what I'm about to say now. Okay. But I don't say things for the sake of the people to be happy or not happy. What I already said some people are not going to be happy with. But what
17:17
Speaker A
I'm about to say is also we'll have people that are not going to be happy listening to. But I am not saying it for your sake. I'm saying it for sake of and I will have people saying I heard the
17:26
Speaker A
scholar say it's okay. I heard that scholar say it's okay. What is the ruling behind women engaging in da to begin with? Now we're talking about engaging in dawa. I do not mean sisters doing da to other sisters. I do not mean
17:37
Speaker A
sisters on WhatsApp group or sisters in telegram. We need all of that. Mashallah or sisters writing books that we can all benefit from or doing research. All of that is great. Alhamdulillah. I am the biggest proponent of that. I'm talking
17:48
Speaker A
about sisters doing this idea of where they are in the forefront of the dawa, engaging with men and doing da here and there and going on channels and making YouTube videos and lives and what is the ruling behind that? It is not known that
18:02
Speaker A
any female Sahaba would go out in the midst of non- maharim of of other Sahaba and would start giving them dawa and lecturing them and this and that. If I'm wrong, you're welcome to show me examples of Sahabia women that would go
18:16
Speaker A
out in the midst of other Sahaba men that are nonharim and they will stand and they on a podium or whatever and they will start giving them lectures and reminders and this now some people will say what they will say here but she was
18:28
Speaker A
asked would come and ask they'll say this day and night and when we go to them which I'm going to do show you the verses in the Quran that addresses the prophet you'll say oh this is just for
18:37
Speaker A
the prophet but when it comes to this issue they'll Oh no look look do we have this example okay was was asked yeah it is correct who was she was the mother of the believers or the other wives they
18:50
Speaker A
were the mother of the believers so it's like your own mother and they will call her our mother when they would talk to her and who were those people going asking were the sahaba the people with the purest hearts and the best of
19:02
Speaker A
behaviors I'm not talking about non-Muslims and random Josh mo whatever going they were the the best of sahaba and they would go ask the the prophet who were their believer believers who nobody could marry after the prophetat wasam and they we understand their
19:16
Speaker A
status and because they know many things in the household of prophet Muhammad wasam the other people didn't know so they would go and ask now we're saying look she was their mother they were the best of mannerisms and and hearts but
19:31
Speaker A
not just that Allah tells them in the Quran if you ask them for something ask them behind the barrier the wife's the prophet that were saying these are people with the best of hearts. They were the mothers of the believers. But Allah is
19:45
Speaker A
still saying ask them behind the barrier. Allah says that is more pure for your hearts and their hearts. Who are we talking about?
19:56
Speaker A
The wives of the prophetam the best women and the sahab. And of course the the wives of the prophet are the examples for the other sisters for the Muslim sisters. Just like the sahaba are examples and the prophets are example
20:06
Speaker A
the wives of the prophet are examples for the women. Allah tells him in the Quran and remain in your houses. Meaning in most cases if you need something to go out this yeah if there's a need this is
20:18
Speaker A
what allahel commanded the wives of the prophet. Dawa is a job for men to do.
20:24
Speaker A
Now some people are going to hear this and like no like there are some because dwa is the job of the messengers.
20:29
Speaker A
Someone will be like oh but there are some scholars like this that said that female can be a prophetess. People who go to any irregular opinion to justify what they're doing essentially. Now that is a regular opinion and is clearly if
20:44
Speaker A
you look at the evidences in the Quran and you would realize that this opinion has no bearing and it's clearly contradicting why first Allah says in the Quran we did not send before you except so we didn't so we have negation an exception
21:02
Speaker A
it means exclusivity in the Arabic language except men we did not send before you except men we reveal to them so first Allah says that clearly in the Quran Okay. Allah says this verse clearly in the Quran, but is that it? No. There's
21:15
Speaker A
many other evidences. For example, I'll give I'm not going to go too too long, but another example, prophetam, he said that many of the men have reached perfection, meaning in mannerisms and good deeds and behaviors and whatever, referring to many prophets, of course,
21:26
Speaker A
because there were so many prophets, hundreds of thousands. And only four women reached their perfection. And then the prophet of course talked about and he talked about the wife of and he talked about were they prophetesses but they reach
21:42
Speaker A
the prophet said only four if there were women prophets they would be mentioned and the prophet was speaking about women of the past and women of today you see when you look at the evidence you realize that these like irregular
21:54
Speaker A
opinions doesn't work with evidence even just use common sense imagine a woman being a prophetist the the the prophets of God they were killed attacked, tortured, persecuted at times.
22:04
Speaker A
Right now imagine a woman what do you what is the first thought that comes to your mind now what do you think that disbelievers will do to this prophet is I don't need to go into you you understand how common sense it is even
22:15
Speaker A
why did allahel reveal the hijab the hijab is a barrier it's a barrier that the woman makes between her and the other person now the the danger you have woman hijab woman coming and saying we're going to give it gives wrong
22:27
Speaker A
perception they're more dangerous than a woman that is not covered because a woman is not covered you know that she's doing wrong you you will know Okay, like she's doing wrong. She's coming out in a in a way which is not the proper way
22:37
Speaker A
which a Muslim woman should be and she's coming out so people would know. So nobody will be confused. But when people can be confused it gives the wrong perception and other women that are practicing Islam or following the
22:50
Speaker A
religion they may start thinking oh that's okay I should do this too. It can be more dangerous. The purpose behind the hijab is to make a barrier between you and the opposite gender. This is not for the woman to go and start engaging
23:00
Speaker A
with men and doing dawa to non men and this and that. It's not a necessity when we have a men fulfilling this role. Dawa is a it's a communial obligation. When we have the men fulfilling this obligation, it is not a necessity for the women to
23:14
Speaker A
come and fulfill that obligation. And some people will say a few things here. I'm I'm going to talk about it. Like someone will be like, "Oh, but non-Muslims DC are women. I'm going to talk about this." Right? But we have a
23:23
Speaker A
communal obligation now that is being fulfilled by the men. So we don't have the need for this. And we you need to understand for a woman especially for a woman it's for a man and for a woman but
23:34
Speaker A
especially for a woman shyness is a part of your iman is a part of your faith and dwah requires sometimes to get involved in sensitive topics right it requires sometimes a level of firmness with the person sometimes a level of softness
23:47
Speaker A
these are not fitting for a character of a woman and Allah says do not incline in your speech the person who has a disease in heart will incline towards you even the voice you know Allah in the Quran
23:59
Speaker A
says in In the verse of the hijab, do not let them not hit with their shoes. Make noise with their shoes because then people will start to be attracted to them or think about them.
24:12
Speaker A
Noise with their shoes. Let alone now talking and your voice and laughing. And imagine even in acts of worship when the women go and do pilgrimage when they do the hadith would say they would do they would lower their voices with it. We do
24:28
Speaker A
it quietly. If the imam makes a mistake, the the men would say, "Subhan Allah would raise their voice." The woman would make a clap. She wouldn't even speak in the prayer to correct.
24:38
Speaker A
Why is Allah making these these rulings in the prayer? Wouldn't it make more sense that Allah say it's okay in the prayer say Allahbar that is for Allah to say do this rather than it's okay to go and in a YouTube channel whatever in
24:51
Speaker A
front of everyone start talking chitchatting with men and and doing that. which one is like and subhan Allah people need to understand this is common sense at this point for a Muslim woman always the more hidden the place for her
25:03
Speaker A
the best it is for her now people may look I'm I'm bringing you the Quran and sunnah you don't like what I say and I'm not saying it for your liking I'm not saying it for your liking I'm saying it
25:12
Speaker A
for the sake of Allah if you are a person who fears Allah who believes in Allah and the messenger wants to submit what the Quran and sunnah say here's what it says you know in the in the prayer the prophetam would say the best
25:22
Speaker A
rows for women are the ones in the back and the worst are the ones in the front.
25:25
Speaker A
Why? Because the woman is shown more. Prophetam he said the prayer of a woman in her house or in her home is better than her prayer in her courtyard because it's more hidden. And her prayer in a chamber is better than
25:38
Speaker A
her prayer in her home. Like the more hidden, the better it is. You're defeating the purpose of the hijab. When you're going out, you're speaking to people hear your voice, see your face, this or see your body or this and that.
25:50
Speaker A
Especially in this day and age where you where you sisters you know AI and what people can do with pictures and images and all of this stuff and this the last thing is like people will say oh but
25:58
Speaker A
there's benefits behind this there's benefits because the non-Muslims will see look our women are there they're doing that while they're doing this doing that are they our religion is based on what Allah said it is not meant to please the standards of the
26:10
Speaker A
disbelievers of their feministic standards and please them oh okay they're okay they'll never be pleased as Allah told you until you follow the religion when we start presenting our sisters in the D we're this what we're doing right oh they they're saying that
26:23
Speaker A
our sisters are not in the house so we stop pushing them out start doing what they want us to do our religion is not based on ends justify the means our religion is based on what Allah and the
26:32
Speaker A
messenger command now someone will say that this said this that say that look I brought you evidence from the Quran and I'm giving this advice for the sake of Allah whoever takes it may allahel bless them and and increase them whoever will
26:45
Speaker A
continue like I said some people will continue doing what they're doing uh in the And I'll ask allahel to guide them all.
26:53
Speaker A
I mean there's there's nothing really that I can do except to bring evidence from the Quran and clarify to the people because I know there are sincere people are people who will sit down and listen and hear the evidence and be like okay
27:03
Speaker A
this makes sense. There's people who will follow what they want to follow in the end. Purpose like I said is to give the message. It's not purpose to convince anyone. May Allahel make it easy for all of us and and I
27:15
Speaker A
really hope I sincerely hope that we have a new generation of young duat are doing things the right way nothing will make me happier and and I'm always worry of people coming new on the scene because you got to watch and and see
27:26
Speaker A
what they do and I but I really really hope that we start having these new dua new Muslims that do things the right way. May Allahel grant us all guidance and sincerity.
