Again, can you explain why we are wearing

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

hijab?

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

So immediately come to your mind, this is

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

probably a woman who is not, but she

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

said, no, when I get asked, I can't

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

answer.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

I am wearing hijab because I'm told by

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

Allah.

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

This statement, it needs to be framed.

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

And then she said, sometimes I feel, yes,

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

I understand, but why should we wear modest

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

and why I need to cover the hair,

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

specifically the hair?

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

So let's start by the beginning.

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

We as Muslims, and I really appreciate what

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36

Sheikh Suleiman has been saying and Dr. Hakim

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

is saying, is basically, we need to go

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

to literally to the basics.

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

I always say this to myself before anyone,

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

why I am here on this earth?

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

This is the first question.

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

Why did he put us here?

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

What does he want from me, where I

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

am going?

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

So why I am here, right, as a

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

human being, worship Allah, loves Allah, knows Allah,

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

you all know this.

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

So come to the hijab.

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

Number one, he told me.

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

This is the first line.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

He said so.

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

Qalu samina wa ataana.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

They said, we hear and we obey.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

And all of us, men and women, brothers

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

and sisters, we need to get to this

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

point where the first reason is because he

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

told me.

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

And who is he?

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

Who is he needs a whole lecture, a

00:01:22 --> 00:01:22

whole conference.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

Is not anybody else, is not my friend,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

is not my neighbor.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

Allah subhana wa ta'ala, my creator, my

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

beloved, the one who gave me everything, the

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

one who sees me, the one who I

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

beg him when I need something, the one

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

who I am gonna stand in front of

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

him, let alone the one who will decide

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

where I'm going at the end.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

So that's number one.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

Number two come, you put it in your

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

question, the modesty.

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

I call Islam, of course I have to

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

bring things from my profession, is a religion

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

of prevention.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

Is not a religion of treatment.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

Meaning, in medicine, why did we get the

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

COVID vaccine?

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

So we can be here today and we

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

are not wearing masks.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

That's prevention.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

Otherwise, we're gonna be still, Allah knows for

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

how long.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

Islam looks at society.

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

Allah subhana wa ta'ala knows us, knows

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

what we have.

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

Fa ilhamaha fujuraha wa taqwaha.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

Allah, when he created us, gave us the

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

ability or not, the inclination to do good

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

and to do bad.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

He knows what our inclination will be.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

What's a prevention?

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

We need, Allah want, when he looks at

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

us, he wants this earth, his creations, to

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

live in decency.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

To live with a moral conduct.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

To live in the way to please him.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

To live to flourish this earth.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

Coming to the hijab.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

Look at the opposite.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

And I don't have to explain, look at

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

society around us.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

Where the hijab is even not there.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

Modesty is not there.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

Again, I'm in the professional world and I

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

see it every day.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

Where are we ending?

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

Where are we ending?

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

Right?

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

And look at the time of Rasulullah, peace

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

be upon him.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

Right?

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

For 10 years, if not 13 years, there's

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13

only two recorded cases, if not three, of,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

and again, la haya'a fid-din, of

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

intimate relationship outside marriage.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

Isn't that amazing?

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

This is human beings.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

They are the same.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:29

Because they had the morality in them and

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

they know Allah said no.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

And all the beginnings and at the end,

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

as Rasulullah, peace be upon him, said, al

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

-aynu tazni, wal-udhnu tazni.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

The eyes commit zina.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

And the ear commit prevention.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

Part of the prevention is the dress code

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

of the woman.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

The dress code of the woman.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

Allah created us in a way that the

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

woman is beautiful and the men get attracted

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

to the woman.

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

That's natural.

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

That's his creation.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

To save the earth so we can have

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

children and continue.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

And at the same time, he said, don't

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

show it except in the proper channels.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

That's basically what it is.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

Hijab is to cover the hair because it's

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

one of the most beautiful parts of the

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

woman.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

Cover.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

I always ask, what will you lose when

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

you cover your hair?

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

What will you lose?

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

Wallahi, nothing.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

If anything, respect.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

Wallahi alladhi allahu.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

Respect.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

They look at you as a woman.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

They look at you as a human being.

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

They respect you more.

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

And why not?

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

Why not?

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

I think we need to little bit take

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

time, pull back.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

Don't be influenced by what you are seeing,

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

all the junk that there outside.

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

And just think of it.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

And enough, Allah told me, I'm pleasing him.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

It's protecting me.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

I am being more respected.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

I can tell you stories from now till

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

tomorrow morning.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

Just do it.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

Modest protection, save humanity and save morality.
