			dear beloved Blood Brothers and Sisters in Islam.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			Today
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			I will speak about a subject
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			that
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			usually I don't approach.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			And it is left for
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:07
			the scholars, which I'm not one of them to discuss the details of felucca
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			and do add an activist like myself,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			usually do not go into
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			things like this.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			But
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			today's
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			events
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:35
			and what is going on around us, not only in this country, but around the world
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			makes it very important for us
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			to pay attention
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			and to sprang into immediate action.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			The European
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			Court of Justice just two days ago
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			passed a ruling
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			basically, to ban
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			religious clothing
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			in workplaces.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			The target of this ban
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:31
			is to ban basically the hijab, the Muslim women's head cover their modesty cover
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:46
			and to allow European companies to legally ban Muslims from practicing their faith in public.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			And that is the equivalent
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			of the Supreme Court that we have in the United States.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			And the issue of the hijab
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			has been
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			a target
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:18
			of
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			many
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			enemies of Islam that wants to get
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			to the
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:34
			body of this Muslim Ummah and want to have a big crack
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			into the shell and the wall that surrounds our OMA
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			and this
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:50
			issue of hijab now can get presented as a controversial issue.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			But if we just go back
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			one century back, there is no controversy
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			anywhere
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:26
			in the books of Flippa. And the books of jurisprudence of Islam, about hijab, you don't see any
traditional books that are having debates about whether hijab is obligatory upon women, Muslim women
are not. All of these ideas started with the European,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:36
			with the Middle Eastern, and in the Muslim world being opened to the European cultures,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			and scored the liberation of women.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			And now we have Muslims.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			People that follow
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:55
			the religion of Islam, that have been promoting the idea
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			that a job is optional.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			It's not an obligation.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			And that we have now legal ruling
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			to ban
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			women, Muslim women
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			from practicing
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:26
			an essential part of their religion if they want to follow it in public places.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:44
			So this is something that we need to talk about. And we need to understand, and our men and women,
our brothers and sisters and our young brothers and sisters, need to understand what this is all
about.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			What is hijab?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			What does it mean?
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			If we actually look in the Quran
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:14
			and if you want to do a word search in the Quran, about the word hijab, it never not one time in the
Quran came to mean the scarf the head cover
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			that we call today, hijab.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:27
			It doesn't mean that piece of clothing that we recognize now as the headcover.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:45
			Whichever name in the culture that we have, it never came in the Quran has hijab. Though the word
hijab in the Quran has been used several times, to mean a barrier or a veil.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:56
			Allah says that it is not for human beings to for to speak to Allah except Illamasqua if hijab
except behind a veil
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:13
			and then a hijab upon the wives of the Prophet sallahu wa salam was the same thing. They had to
speak to people behind a curtain, not just not speaking about a veil that they put upon their heads.
It's not a scarf.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			The proper word
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:31
			used by the Arabs, just like any other piece of clothing, they had this specific word for every
special word piece of clothing, Cummins said Juan Rida Mizar
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			the headscarf is called Emaar.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			And that's the word that is used in the Quran.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:47
			So if you are to do a word search, you're not going to look for a job. You're going to look for EMR
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			and ALLAH SubhanA wa to Allah, when he made
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:01
			wearing that obligatory upon the Muslim women
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			he taught us how to do it,
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:18
			because the Arabs of the time, the Sahaba and the Sahaba yet they knew what he Mar was, and it was a
common piece of clothing
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:31
			worn by the free women and usually not worn, worn by slave girls. So it was to distinguish
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			the free from the slaves
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44
			so it was a sign of nobility of honor of being rich.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:10:00
			So they knew what the motto was. And Allah Subhana Allah says what Khalil minuty your Buddha mean
upside him. While your fourth muffle Jehan, Wallah you Dina Xena, Tahoe
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:11
			Illa Maha minha while you're very BNA be humare Hiner I led you begin. What are you doing as in
axon? ILLEGIBLE Oleta hinda
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			hinda Ebola tahina, Illa, this is Surah, Chinua
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			verse 31.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			When Allah Subhana Allah to Allah says, tell the women believers,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			to lower their gazes to guard their chastity
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:39
			and not to show their Zina their ornament their beauty except what adroitly
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			is being shown out of it.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:23
			And then let them take their EMR, their head cover, and let it bring it down to the opening of off,
do you a jape is the opening of the Commons. So they will bring it down. And they will cover the
opening of the commons, because they used to wear the femur and they will bring it back. So that
exposes the ears and the neck, and then the beat the the opening of the chest, and Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah for them to take it down. So the only thing that you can see there is all of that
will be brought down.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:51
			And nothing should be shown in the front. And the only debate that the scholars had, whether that
meant to actually take the PMR and cover the entire face with niqab or just cover that area and for
the face to be allowed to show. That's the only debate that you would see in the books of soccer.
And there is no debate
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:06
			whether the theme of the score, the hijab, as we call it today, is an obligation upon women as Allah
Subhana Allah clearly says, say,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			command
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			the believing women to do this
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			yeah, you hadn't a beat
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			or messenger. Only as logic, tell your wives
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:38
			why Ben attic and your daughter's one he says in Momineen. And the women of the believers
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			you mean are they hidden them in jalebi be hidden
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:00
			to bring down their garments upon themselves to cover up themselves, their Lika Edna and your often
so they would be recognized they would be shown to be muslims fella you then they would not be
harmed.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			Can Allahu La for on Rahima
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			because Islam
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			and the guidance of Allah subhanahu wa taala
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:20
			takes prevention and honor and the dignity of women
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			above everything else.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			To prevent the fitna to prevent
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			problems in the society.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:52
			The messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the agreed upon Hadith said mattock to body fit Nathan
or baru Allah region Mina Nisa, I did not leave behind me, a fitna
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			that is
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:01
			a bar harsher, more problematic Call it whatever you want.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			More upon when a man men, then
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			the fitna the attraction of women.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			Brothers and sisters, men know this.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			That is a weakness in men.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:38
			And Allah Subhana Allah Allah knows that the Creator knows that subhanho wa taala. So he who puts
that instinct in men, he puts ways to channel that in the right way.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			The marriage,
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:50
			the fasting for those who are not married, a Toccoa the piety but also, you do not put
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			meat in front of a cat
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			until the catchy candy so you try to prevent
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			temptation and seduction
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:17
			and Allah subhanho wa Taala honored us from day one of our creation with being covered up with our
close
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			with the center
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:25
			and the first fitna, the first tribulation the first testing of Adam
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			was about taking off our clothes
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:44
			was about letting go of the setup. You have to add the ebony Adam and Sal na Alaikum Lieberson you
are so article Mauritia while he bears who turqoise alaka higher.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			Then he came in a Atilla
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			the Allahu
		
00:15:50 --> 00:16:03
			karoun And now Allah subhanaw taala says you have any other law you have any other molestie on
camera, Raja Abba, welcome, Mina Jenna is one whom Ali bursa Houma.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			Oh, Children of Adam, don't let shaytaan
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:18
			give you fitna like he did your parents, Adam and Hawa he let their clothes fall down
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			and take them away from Jana.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			What does hijab mean?
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:35
			What does the what is the meaning of hijab for a woman for a Muslim woman?
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			First of all, it's an identity.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			It is the identity of a Muslim woman.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			Allah says Daddy can admit and you're often
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:58
			Allah recognize the Muslim woman with that ID. Allah subhanaw taala honored the Muslim woman he
said, I want you to be recognized by that mark
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			in the Quran,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			and it is the honor and the dignity of the woman.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			Because Islam and Muslims,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:24
			and the manners of Islam does not look to women as the object of sensual pleasure.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			It is women are not for use.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			Women are not expected to look attractive for the public.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			They're not valued for their looks.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			They are valued for their piety.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			They are valued for the character, they are valued for the person.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:16
			And it is a protection for that woman. And man, you're above that fella you then they wouldn't be
harmed. And we know in this society, all of us in the workplace, how common sexual harassment is.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			And we know
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:43
			that those who are modest, who dress modestly, and especially women who dress with hijab, they are
much, much less likely to be the subject of sexual harassment. And there's actually clear
statistics. That way Japanese women who Jabby women are much less likely to be victims of sexual
assault and *.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:50
			This is what Allah says in the Quran, the Alika Agnor and your offner Salah you then
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			it is a protection
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:01
			and more importantly, it is an act of worship.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:08
			It is an act of getting closer to Allah, it is an act of pleasing Allah subhana wa Taala
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			and that is some of the more important things.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:28
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to keep us in the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and
the guidance of the non the Mothers of the Believers are called no matter smartphone or estafa Allah

00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			civilizations
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			that brag
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:12
			and give the world lectures about liberty and freedom
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:21
			are scared of a piece of cloth on a head of a Muslim woman. It frightens them.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			It threatens their civilization, as they said.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:51
			That is what's gonna ruin the society in Europe, not the *, not the, the complete
disintegration of the structure of the family. That is not what they're afraid of. They're afraid of
that piece of cloth of that scarf on the head of the Muslim woman.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			Europeans speak about women's rights
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:07
			and freedoms. And they accuse Islam
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			of being an oppressor
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			to women's rights.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:21
			So how about Muslim women's rights in choosing her own attire?
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			How about
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:37
			the Muslim woman's right and expressing their own beliefs in Europe, or even here in the United
States? If we don't preemptively do something
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:45
			to protect the rights, the freedoms of religion?
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			What about women's rights to be
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			who they want to be in society?
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:04
			This expose the hypocrisy, the hypocrisy
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			afford they claim to be a superior
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:24
			culture, a superior civilization to Islam. Allah Allah subhanaw taala put them in this situation
just to expose that hypocrisy.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			Sister
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			and I want to talk to some sisters
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			that are sent some messages in the last few months
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			asking if it is allowed
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			under pressure
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			to remove the hijab.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:57
			I want to say a few things to the sisters, sisters, and publicly answer that question.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			Sister.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			If you are intimidated
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			by the onslaught,
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:13
			and the vicious campaign, ask yourselves just few questions. And I will leave the answers to you.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			Because only you can answer those questions.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:23
			Who is more worthy of being feared?
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			Who is more worthy
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			of being obeyed?
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			What does your hijab mean to you?
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			Why you wearing the hijab in the first place?
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			And why you're not wearing the hijab?
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:57
			And then ask yourself, what is my current relationship with Allah subhanho wa taala? And how does it
compare to my relationship with other than Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:08
			And then we all have to ask ourselves that just as sisters, what are our duties and obligations and
this time?
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			Then the decision will become much more clear and much more decisive.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:23
			And I would leave you with this thought brothers and sisters. Just remember one thing.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:29
			It is never and it has never been about what they do.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			It's never been
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			about what enemies of Islam do to us.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			Throughout our history from day one.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:47
			It's always about what we do and how we respond.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:59
			What happens at the end is always about us how we respond to these things. What we
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:11
			You need to do in face of these things are we going to give up? Are we going to give in? Are we
going to do this? Or are we going to show Allah subhanho wa Taala who we are
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			and show our adherence
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:24
			to the message of Allah and the teaching of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			Allah subhanaw taala and LM Ron
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			and I will conclude with this verse.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:38
			He told us what will happen, he said, lead to blah guna the unreality command,
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:50
			you will be tested in your wealth and in your souls. While at the Smyrna Minella Xena AutoHotKey
tell them in publikum Wamena Allah Xena Ashok, who is in kathira.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			And you shall hear,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			you will hear
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:15
			from those who were given the book before you and from the disbelievers a lot of harm, or injury, so
expected, it's just part of life. It's part of being on the path of truth and Islam.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			We're in Prospero, water Taku.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			But if you're patient and have Taqwa
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			for in the valley come in as me
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:40
			that will give you the resolve the endurance and the perseverance, and that will give us the fella
that will give us the success in sha Allah.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			It is what we do, and how we face this.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			And what we need to do to be proactive.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:55
			In the face of this onslaught, this is not the time
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:03
			to put our heads down. This is not the time to give in brothers and sisters.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:42
