			The purpose that human beings come together Cannot
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			be reduced to one purpose There's nothing that
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			says for instance that the purpose of marriage
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			is Procreation even though you'll find that I
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			think it's a misguided statement in in books
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			on Islam because that is not The primary
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			purpose the primary purpose is actually the scene
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:29
			of search It's to protect yourself By Finding
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			a tranquility in another person so that you
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			don't become bestial So it's actually a civilizing
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			force marriage is part of the civilizing process
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			it's the way people become more human and
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			Allah says later in that same section.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			He says winter for right wing it up
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			a rocker and if they should separate You
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			only know who?
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			Koolin in society that will enrich each one
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			of them from his bounty That sometimes it's
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			necessary to divorce Laya for a cool moment
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			on Mina that not a believing man despise
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			a believing woman If he dislikes one quality,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			he should love other qualities in other words
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			focus on the positive But sometimes you have
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			to separate you have to go your separate
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			ways because not everybody is compatible Not everybody
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			has Sakina not everybody has Mowat that has
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			this unconditional love not everybody has mercy This
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			is part of human nature, but the one
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			thing that God does not allow is oppression
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			Yeah, Ibadi In need you out to Haram
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			to bulma on a Nessie what you out
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			to who been a kumba harama for that
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			of on a moon Oh my servant.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			I have prohibited oppression upon myself Out of
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			his bounty God can do whatever he pleases
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			I Have prohibited Oppression from my own self,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			and I have made it prohibited amongst you
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			so do not oppress one another But if
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			people are in a situation where they can't
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:14
			get along they have to let go this
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			is Islam Islam is a mercy.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			We've got all these people out there.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			Just really suffering like they're in * and
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			some people making Religion a * for the
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			women wallahi.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			We have imams on the minbars preaching this
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			stuff.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			I've heard Preachers say leave all the nisa
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			la la yes, Rahula in the heart Well
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			I I've heard people say oh, there's some
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			women the only thing that benefits is striking
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			But to say that you can strike a
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			woman physically and harm her leave some trace
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:54
			on her That's not Islam, it's Jahiliya It's
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			Jahiliya, and there's people that do these things
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			and these poor women have to suffer the
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			humiliation Even I sure in his tough CEO
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			says and I believe this he says it
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			is absolutely acceptable for the authorities in charge
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:15
			to prescribe a punishment To prescribe a punishment
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			for any act of domestic violence, and he
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			says when men are no longer vigilant about
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			Controlling themselves when he said when they use
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			this verse as a means to express their
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			anger their rage And their vengeance on a
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			woman Then he says it's the time for
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			the authorities to come in and that's why
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			any woman who's suffering domestic Abuse has every
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			right to go to the proper authority if
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			the Muslims won't help her Then she can
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:50
			go to the police or anybody else because
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			nobody Nobody walking on two feet not even
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			an animal on four feet or crawling on
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:02
			the earth Should ever be humiliated Should ever
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:10
			be tortured Should ever be struck violently This
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			is a major problem and our community.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			We need to think deeply and what we
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			know Bob will move and what we know
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
