Does Islam allow the woman to vote?
Yes?
Brothers, anyone disagree?
What is your proof?
You cannot just throw things on Islam and
you don't have a proof.
What is, you answered right, all of you.
What is the proof that the woman can
vote?
Because that's one of the things feminism went
for.
Women should vote.
Yes, I can't hear you.
Absolutely, Mashallah, Tabarakallah.
When the delegates left Medina, went to Rasul,
before he migrated, to give him the allegiance,
the first allegiance, there were two women with
them.
You're talking about 14 plus hundred years ago.
Two women came from Medina to Mecca, right?
Not two hours train or five hours car.
This is two weeks at that time.
Allah knows walking or they were on an
animal.
To give him allegiance.
Who were they?
Two women.
I'm sorry?
Yes.
I want you to feel this.
1400 plus years ago, woman living in Medina,
coming all the way, and Rasul, still not
yet, the Rasul, that he had the power,
he had the presence.
No, the people in Mecca actually were against
him, and they were pushing him out.
She came all the way against majority of
people to tell him, yes, I vote for
you.
Why do I need feminism?
So voting is number one.
Equality, right?
Socially, because this is what the movement is
all about.
Socially at that time, and if you're going
to listen to the talk, it was a
whole day conference, highly recommend listen to Sheikh
Aisha Prime, because she brought the history of
this country.
And how they looked down, the woman among
them looked down at the colored woman.
But they want them because of numbers.
She kept saying, because we're numbers.
What did Islam say about me in front
of Allah?
Spiritually, am I the same?
Am I the same?
I want to hear it.
I want one of you, especially the brothers,
because that hadith, many of the brothers knows
it, and some of the women knows it
too.
I want you to challenge me with this
statement I just said.
I said we are the same spiritually in
front of Allah.
Does anyone know a hadith of a Rasul,
peace be upon him, that challenged this statement
externally?
You better know it, because that's one of
the things.
The feminist movement will come against Islam.
Anybody knows it?
Can you speak up, please, brother?
That's for the, that's for, and I'm looking
for against.
You're absolutely right.
There is no difference between Arab and non
-Arab, except at the level of their piety.
That's for, and I'm looking for a hadith
externally can easily be taken, especially by the
brothers, and the feminist movement against Islam, and
they tell her the woman is not the
same.
Yes, that's inheritance.
We'll come to this later, because that's another
one.
The majority of the dwellers of Jahannam is
from the sisters.
That's another one, but that's not the main
one.
Yes, there's a hadith of a Rasul, peace
be upon him.
You all have to know it.
And you need to read about it and
understand what he said.
I'm very surprised the men don't know it,
or maybe you're too shy to say it.
He said to the woman, now listen to
the external, and you're going to say, really,
really?
I have not seen, he was talking to
the woman.
I have not seen more than you, and
he didn't say woman.
He said they have less wisdom, and their
deen is less, yet they can affect and
manipulate the man.
So when you look at it externally, wow.
So I'm less in my deen, and I
am less in my wisdom?
The woman asked him, why we are less?
And he said, because of the monthly period,
so your prayer and your act of worship
number-wise are less, and then because of
the witness, the testimony.
Is that a compliment, or this is not
a compliment?
Because this is one of the hadiths, and
the verses in the Quran, if Allah gives
me time, I will cover it too, where
the Muslim woman and the non-Muslim, men
and women, come and attack and says, Islam
don't give the woman the same.
Islam say the woman has less wisdom and
less religion.
Okay, I'll give you a parable of the
hadith, and inshallah, you will understand it.
If any of you know Arabic, go to
Al-Jazeera.
I did an interview with them, subhanAllah, the
day before October 6th last year.
It's on a Friday, and this was the
topic, and this was the hadith.
Let's clarify what Islam say about women.
The parable I'm gonna give you, let's say
this girl in front of you.
May Allah protect her and make her from
the righteous, right?
So I'm assuming she's three years old.
So I look at her with her father,
right?
And I see her pulling her father arm
to take him to where she wants.
And I'm gonna say, what a three-year
-old this one can make a man do
what he wants.
Did I praise her or I attacked her?
Done, that's the hadith.
That's the hadith.
That's how you have to understand it.
That in spite you pray less because of
what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made it
unconditional on me, in spite of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala said, your witness in the
economy, economical matters need two women instead of
one, yet you have, I wouldn't say full
control, but you can absolutely move the man
or make the man do what you want.
Is it a compliment or not?
Done, you need to learn this.
You need to learn this.
Inheritance, that's the second attack.
Who knows Quran here well?
So I don't have to, like you know
Quran.
I don't mean half of, I mean you
understand it all.
Did Allah says the man inherited twice than
the woman?
Yes or no?
Yes, of course.
Absolutely, I can't.
يُصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِكْلُ حَضْلُ أُنثَيَيْنَ
I can't change the Quran.
يُصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala have made it obligation on you, الوصي
هنا obligation, that your son, أَوْلَادِكُمْ your son
will inherit double what your daughter will inherit.
Yes?
Is that anti-feminism?
No.
Why?
He's taking double than me.
It's not fair.
Just a second.
Yes?
Or no?
If you're going to say no, you have
to explain it.
Second question for everybody, see how you really
have to learn your deen.
Because once you know, then you're absolutely fine,
nobody will affect you.
Is this rule in every situation, the man
inherit double the woman?
Just a second.
As you're doing this, give me the proof.
No, you don't speak about this deen without
a proof.
That's not my opinion and yours.
You just said the right.
What is the proof?
I'm sorry.
Go ahead, brother.
Can't hear you, unfortunately.
The mother can take more than the father,
right?
And the double is only for the brothers
and the sisters.
Sometimes the woman inherits more, sometimes the woman
inherit less, and sometimes equal.
And it's all in Surah An-Nisa.
It's everything.
This is very clear in chapter, the woman.
Isn't it interesting?
Subhanallah.
Third, am I equal in the sight of
Allah?
When I'm going to stand, you're going to
stand, and you're going to stand.
Are we the same completely?
If I sin as a woman, am I
going to be punished the same as a
man?
Yes or no?
Yes or no?
Give me the proof.
Again, don't say yes or no, unless you
tell me.
If you're going to be debating somebody who
knows a little bit about the Qur'an,
knows only the verses that is not very
clear, then it's going to be tough on
you.
What happens if I steal and you steal?
If I steal, a woman steals, and a
brother steals, is the punishment the same?
Absolutely.
The woman, thief.
The man, thief.
Cut their hand.
Both.
What about adultery?
Both is the same.
Punishment, same.
Reward.
You fast, I fast.
You do qiyam, I do qiyam.
You do charity, I do charity.
Right?
Same?
Whomever do a good deed.
Here, he said, a man and a woman.
You have to be a believer.
We're going to make you live a very
good life, and we're going to reward you
both the same.
So what's feminism then?
Feminism, basically, as a woman and as a
man.
You need to be a woman.
That Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, gave me
rights, but at the same time gave me
responsibilities.
And he honored the man, takleef, but tashreef,
honored the man with certain things I don't
have, but he's going to be asked about
it.
Back to the son inherited double.
Why?
Why?
Just a...
Why?
Why Allah give you double than me?
It's not fear.
But I'm telling you what I hear from
the mouth of Muslims.
The mouth of Muslims.
Maybe they don't say it in front of
you, but I get these emails and questions.
How are you going to respond?
This is your daughter.
15 years from now, she's 25.
And she says, are you telling me?
This house, my brother will take two-third
and I will take one.
Why?
That's not fear.
And imagine she's saying this to her friend
in college, her co-worker.
How you will respond?
Yes.
The man is responsible for the woman throughout
her life.
Who said so?
And now we are talking.
Because this is one of the most misunderstood
verse in the Quran.
And you really have to learn it.
It's also in Surah An-Nisa.
And the men use this.
Right?
And when the woman wants, she use this
verse also.
What is qawamah?
What is a man is qawam.
Anybody knows Arabic here?
From the men I'm asking.
Yes?
They are caretaker.
That's one of the translation.
Second?
Protectors.
Third?
I'm sorry?
Provider.
Okay.
Mainly the first two.
Protector.
Caretaker.
And then provider.
If you have the money.
Because Allah said, So when I say to
my wife.
And now coming to the brothers.
That you need to take care of me.
And I never use the word obey me.
Because it's very negative in this country.
Although in deen is ta'a.
But in this country obey is usually used
for?
Slaves.
So be very careful.
Especially when you speak to non-Arab.
For us we know what's ta'a.
It's very easily understood.
But when you say obey.
People will misuse this word.
And some gets very offended.
I call it take care.
And I'm gonna say why?
And you're gonna respond and you say.
Because I have to take care of you.
Listen to this.
You taking care of your wife.
Is a responsibility.
Me taking care of my husband is?
Responsibility.
Both.
Both.
So I cannot say as a man.
I'm not gonna take care of her.
Because she doesn't take care of me.
Don't do it.
It's your choice.
But Allah will ask you.
And the same thing applies here.
