Eighty 5 percent

00:00:01 --> 00:00:05

of the domestic violence victims are women.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

Eighty 5 percent. There's 15%

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

of them, there is men, but 85%

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

is women or are women, right? So SubhanAllah,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

it's

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

reality, but

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

it's a painful reality.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

Domestic violence, now I'm gonna share with you

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

these statistics, in the American Muslim community,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

and this is again, this is the organization

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

I told you about according to the Peaceful

00:00:33 --> 00:00:33

Families

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

Project and this is a survey done by

00:00:36 --> 00:00:36

Sakina.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:37

31%

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

of the American Muslims reported

00:00:42 --> 00:00:42

experiencing

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

abuse within

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

an intimate

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

partner relationship. Now this is husband and wife.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:50

31%

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

and 53%, as I shared with you earlier,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

of the American Muslim

00:00:56 --> 00:00:56

reported

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

some form of an abuse in a family.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:00

So 53%,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

all forms, 31%

00:01:03 --> 00:01:03

specifically

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

in the intimate relationship, there is abuse.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07

SubhanAllah.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

Now here we come.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

Most of the women,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

right? Or actually, I would say most of

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

the couple, the first resource they go to

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

is Imams,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

right? And this is what the statistics shows,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

survey of 63 Muslim leaders

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

showed that 10%

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

of the Muslims

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

experienced

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

physical abuse in their homes. This is a

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

this is an old statistics if you see.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

This is the woman I told you about

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

that she passed away in 2004, she started

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

this organization

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

and this is in 1999,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

right? They say 10% of the Muslims

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

experience physical abuse.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

Allah knows how much it is now with

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

all the violence we are seeing in

00:01:53 --> 00:01:53

in the world,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

that become norm, so the more we see

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

violence in the movies and the cartoons,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02

then we get more immune, we get numb

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

to seeing violence and then we start seeing

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

it. Look at the language

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

now we are using, not us, but the

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

younger generation, and I had this discussion in

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

fact last night with some of the youth

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

and they said just look at the cartoons.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

It's the norm. All these

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

fun things is all using

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

the the bad language. So you can imagine

00:02:24 --> 00:02:24

in 1999,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

there is 10% of the Muslims experience physical

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

abuse. I am sure it is much more

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

now. A study of 23 Muslim married female

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

immigrants

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

from this is specifically from that country, 10%

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

prevalence

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

rate of spousal abuse,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

SubhanAllah. And the rules of imam study, 22

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

mosques in New York found

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

96%

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

of the participant

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

perceived

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

imam as a counselor.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

96%.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

SubhanAllah, I was preparing this and that's exactly

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

the phone call I got yesterday

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

and it was the woman wanted to talk

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

to me, they already went and talked to

00:03:05 --> 00:03:05

the imam.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

So the first thing we all go and

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

what is the may Allah reward all the

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

Imams,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

not every one of them

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

is, myself included, maybe I learned it a

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

little bit in medical school. We are not

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

counselors,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

we don't have

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

a training, professional training as a as a

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

counselor,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

but this is what is available now. So

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

they said 96%

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

of the participants

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

perceived the imam as a counselor and 74%

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

had sought counseling from imam for safety issue.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

This is 2,006

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

safety issue. She's worried about her life.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:41

SubhanAllah,

00:03:42 --> 00:03:42

SubhanAllah.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

Now another study, look at this, in a

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

study of 190

00:03:48 --> 00:03:48

Muslim

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

Muslims and it's almost 200,

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

seeking mental health counseling in Northern Virginia.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:55

41%

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

American Muslims, American Muslims

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

experienced domestic violence in the form of verbal,

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

emotional, physical, or sexual.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:05

60%

00:04:06 --> 00:04:06

of

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

those

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

experienced verbal or psychological

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

abuse in their lifetime.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

It's very prevalent, Yani. The numbers is not

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

small. 60 percent.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

60 percent is almost like 2 third,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

and this is in general if you combine

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

them all and I know what we when

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

when someone says I'm being abused, our mind

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

always goes usually

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

to, but that's not only it and this

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

is the first question I ask when the

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

woman comes to me and I said, what

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

kind? And I actually specify it, these 5:

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

verbal,

00:04:41 --> 00:04:41

physical,

00:04:42 --> 00:04:42

emotional,

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

financial, and sexual.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

SubhanAllah, may Allah

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

make things easy.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

Now, last thing is here we go, the

00:04:51 --> 00:04:52

types of abuse

00:04:52 --> 00:04:56

in a survey of 9 domestic violence organizations

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

around the United States

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

serving more than 2,000 Muslim women

00:05:01 --> 00:05:01

survivors

00:05:02 --> 00:05:02

reported

00:05:03 --> 00:05:03

82%

00:05:04 --> 00:05:04

is emotional

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

or verbal, 65%

00:05:07 --> 00:05:07

financial.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

I will not spend for you. Leave and

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

see who's going to give money to your

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

children. This is

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

financial abuse.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

Or she trusted him and she put all

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

her money or their joint account and then

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

he takes it.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

Or the other way around.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

But as I said, 85%

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

of the victims are women. 45 49%

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

is spiritual abuse.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

Spiritual abuse. Allah will not be happy with

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

you, you will never go to Jannah. All

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

these things

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

we use and I always said this one,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

we tailor

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

the religion according to what we want,

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

so I take a verse or I take

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

a hadith and I tailor it according to

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

what benefits me. I don't look at the

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

whole thing, and I'll I'll come to the

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

some of the, verses of the Quran that

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

we need to look at it in the

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

whole in totality, we don't look at it

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

at one word.

00:05:59 --> 00:05:59

74%

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

physical abuse,

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

SubhanAllah,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:06

70 4, this is statistics, this is real,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

30% is sexual abuse,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

and a woman shelter

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

resident study of 55

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

or 57

00:06:13 --> 00:06:17

closed case files from an American Muslim women

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

shelter revealed that, this is in 2007,

00:06:20 --> 00:06:20

30

00:06:21 --> 00:06:21

37%

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

had multiple types of abuse,

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

23%

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

physical abuse and 12 percent

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

emotional abuse.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

SubhanAllah. So I shared these numbers,

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

my beautiful South African,

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

friends, please forgive me because I don't have

00:06:38 --> 00:06:38

statistics

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

from South Africa, but I can imagine if

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

this is what it is in the United

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

States. My gut feelings tell me it is

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

more in South Africa, so this is this

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

is just now.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

We are going to base our discussion on

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said to us

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

and through the Quran or through Rasul

00:06:59 --> 00:06:59

Right?

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

And we start with a couple of questions.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

Does Islam allowed it?

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

Does Islam allowed abuse? In general, in general.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

Look at it. Spouses,

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

parents and children, children with each other.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:15

Abuse

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

is a form of

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

injustice.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

It's a form of injustice. You are using

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

your right in not the right way. That's

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

injustice. You're putting something

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

not in the right place, that's injustice.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

What is

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

the ruling

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

of

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

injustice in Islam? This is a principle, you

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

apply it everywhere in your life, it is

00:07:38 --> 00:07:38

actually

00:07:39 --> 00:07:39

haram,

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

it is forbidden,

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

it's like eating pork

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

and Allah said this in Hadith and Qudsi

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

My servant

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

My servant

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

Allah is saying this,

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

my servants, you and me,

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

I have made injustice

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

haram, this is Allah used this word, it's

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

illegal,

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

it's unlawful,

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

and I made it Allah saying this, and

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

I made injustice

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

haram on myself.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

Allah is Al Addu Subhanah,

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

Allah is the just

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

and injustice He made it haram on Himself

00:08:22 --> 00:08:22

meaning

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

no one,

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

no creation of Allah,

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

not even animals will be treated with injustice,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

Hashah, Allah will not do that

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

and that's what he's saying, he says My

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

servant, I made injustice haram unlawful

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

and I made it unlawful on myself

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

and I made it unlawful between you, and

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

then he said Falata balamoo,

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

do not practice injustice.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

Abuse is an injustice. That's the first thing

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

we have to remember and we have to

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

learn.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

When I am abusing

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

my rights in any form or shape, I

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

am committing injustice.

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

I am committing haram. I think we all

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

need to put these facts as basics.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

People want to practice it, people don't practice,

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

that's something they have to answer to Allah

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala but there is nothing justified,

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

nothing justify

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

and I'm going to come to the ayah

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

in the Quran where people use it to

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

justify physical abuse to the woman.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

But in general, as a principle, and I'm

00:09:24 --> 00:09:25

gonna come

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

in couple of the ayaats of the Quran,

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

principle between husband and wife,

00:09:31 --> 00:09:32

principle between husband and wife, this is the

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

words of Allah

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

this is not my words,

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

this is not an interpretation,

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

this is clear and look what Allah

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

says, O you who attain faith or believer,

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

it's unlawful that you this is the

00:09:46 --> 00:09:47

woman.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

It is unlawful for you to inherit women

00:09:50 --> 00:09:50

by compulsion,

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

and do not make difficulties

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

for them in order to take back

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

part of what you gave them unless they

00:09:59 --> 00:10:02

commit a clear immorality.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

Look at this,

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

this is an order.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

This one.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

Live with them in kindness.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

And this is to the men talking to

00:10:15 --> 00:10:15

the women.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

Allah talking to the men

00:10:18 --> 00:10:19

how to deal with their wives.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

Well, I don't love HariAllahu,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

she changed, she's not the same woman I

00:10:26 --> 00:10:26

married

00:10:27 --> 00:10:27

and

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

if you dislike them perhaps, meaning this can

00:10:31 --> 00:10:31

happen,

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

you dislike something and Allah makes in it,

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

in it a great khayr, khayram kathira, much

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

good.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

This is a principle

00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

in relationship

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

between husband and wife.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

Abuse is not allowed, whether abused to take

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

back what money you gave them, he will

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

not divorce her till she gives him the

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

money, that's abuse.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

You don't like her, you cannot

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

not liking someone is not a ground for

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

abuse. That's

00:11:02 --> 00:11:02

the

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

first principle in marriage,

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

live with them with goodness, and

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

that's by the way both sides, but this

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

ayah is specifically to the woman,

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

Here you go, this is the next ayah,

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

it's in Suratul Waka, right? And Allah here

00:11:17 --> 00:11:18

is putting it

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

in the context of divorce, and women

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

have the right over their husbands as regard

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

living expenses, right?

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

Similar to those of their husbands over them.

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

It starts by it starts the I I

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

translate only part of it, but it starts

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

about divorce, what when the woman go through

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

divorce, what should she do and then Allah

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

in the second part and he says

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

they have

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

the woman has the same as the man

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

has,

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

right? In fear and goodness.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

This is an abuse

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

this may be abused, this

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

what Allah says here: And the men have

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

responsibility

00:12:04 --> 00:12:04

over them.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

Narijari alaihin nagaraja

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

so they have they are above them that's

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

a loose translation, they're not better than them

00:12:14 --> 00:12:17

when the man will have the upper hand

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

when the man fulfills the right Allah gave

00:12:20 --> 00:12:20

him

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

and that is by spending on them,

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

by taking care of them from A to

00:12:26 --> 00:12:26

Z.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

From A to Z when the husband

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

takes care of finance,

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

takes care of emotional,

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

takes care even when she gets upset and

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

she may say things, he's the man. He

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

absorbed it

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

and there's and I'm going to say this

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

story because it is there, Sayyidna

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

I think it's a Sahabi or a righteous

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

man at the time of Sayyidna Umar, right?

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

Went to go to Sayyid Na Umar to

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

complain about his wife, that his wife is

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

not treating him well. He went to the

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

door of Sayyidina Umar and then he heard

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

the wife of Sayyidina Umar

00:13:01 --> 00:13:04

saying something to Sayyidina Umar and the man

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

said, he went back and he said Sayyidina

00:13:06 --> 00:13:09

Umar, and then he saw him later. This

00:13:09 --> 00:13:09

is like the

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

the the concept of the story, and he

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

said I came to to complain to you

00:13:14 --> 00:13:14

about,

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

my wife, and then I and I heard

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

your wife is talking to you in the

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

same way my wife is talking to you.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

And say, no, I'm not responding,

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

and in in in the meaning of, if

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

we will not be taking care of our

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

wives, who else will? If we cannot

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

absorb their anger, who else will?

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

This is Sayidna Umar.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

So here you go, when I

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

act as Sayidna Umar as a man, the

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

man acts as Sayidna Umar, absorbs the anger,

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

the emotion,

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

gentle, he then he has the upper hand

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

but it's not just a free giving

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

and when we read the verses in the

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

Quran, the man has additional rights, and I

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

put it in red here, and this is

00:13:54 --> 00:13:57

actually not my words, this is actually for

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

the commentary of this ayah. The verse indicates

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

the man has additional right that when he

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

fulfill his role as a protector, as a

00:14:05 --> 00:14:05

maintainer,

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

and as responsibility

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

of spending,

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

If he does everything and the woman is

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

in the house respected,

00:14:14 --> 00:14:17

being taken care of and everything including emotional,

00:14:17 --> 00:14:17

then yes,

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

they have like let's say something,

00:14:23 --> 00:14:26

over them. Right? Now, we come to the

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

communist verse that is used by men to

00:14:30 --> 00:14:30

justify

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

physical abuse of the woman.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:40

This is also

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

and I'm gonna read for you

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

the translation, I put it in red for

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

a reason because I want people to read

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

it. Men are in charge of women, I

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

mean the Kawama

00:15:02 --> 00:15:05

translation is very hard to translate and it's

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

not in charge.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:10

Al Kawana is someone who is responsible

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

for that person, free meaning

00:15:14 --> 00:15:15

not control,

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

takes care of all their needs. That's Al

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

Kawamah

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

and Allah said why? Why the man is

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

responsible for the 1? What

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

Allah have given them the upper hand in

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

physical and ability to go out and work

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

harder and all the other things.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:35

There's 2

00:15:35 --> 00:15:36

2 requirements

00:15:37 --> 00:15:38

that the man has to fulfill

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

to fulfill

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

and then he will have this

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

as we say,

00:15:47 --> 00:15:47

privilege.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

He spends completely

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

on the woman, the woman by Sharia does

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

not have to spend anything

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

for her house. She does it. That's that's

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

her generosity,

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

but reality

00:16:00 --> 00:16:01

as an obligation

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

in front of Allah, she is not, but

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

almost every woman does that. So here you

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

go, then comes to

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly

00:16:10 --> 00:16:10

obedient

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

guarding their husbands when they are away, and

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

but those wives

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

who they fear arrogance,

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

advise them first.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

Forsake them in bed to leave them,

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

and then he strike them, that's the word.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

That's the word a lot of people, Muslims

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

and non Muslims use it. This is Allah

00:16:31 --> 00:16:31

said,

00:16:34 --> 00:16:34

Allah said

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

strike them, right?

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

Then you go back to the Quran again

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

and look what Allah here said in Suratul

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

Ahaza.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

So the word is a strike and the

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

Rasul Ahazam

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

explained it, now I've come to it when

00:16:48 --> 00:16:49

I come to the sunnah,

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

but what did Allah said also in Surat

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

Al Azaab?

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

And those who harm

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

believing men and believing women,

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

both sides,

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

for something other than what they have done.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

So what did she do? She did not

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

cook very well and then he gets very

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

abusive,

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

right? He did not come on time to

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

the house and then she becomes very abusive,

00:17:21 --> 00:17:22

that's hurt.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

This is for both because Allah hears

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

and please read this verse, Allah puts believing

00:17:28 --> 00:17:28

men and women.

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

Those who hurt

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

believing men or believing

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

believing women for no reason,

00:17:39 --> 00:17:39

no reason,

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

and if you look back,

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

those of you who may be involved in

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

this, if you sit down with couple

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

or talk to one of them of domestic

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

abuse and you really when they are calm

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

and you go down, down, down, down, down,

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

you find that

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

things are,

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

I mean, I wouldn't say there isn't majors.

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

There are sometimes majors but there is a

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

lot of it is simple,

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

that's not worth it. This is haram.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

Hurting, believing

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

man or a woman is haram.
