The speaker discusses the idea that men and women considered "veasts" in Islam, with female users being referred to as "veasts" by some. They also mention a man reducing "veasts" to a realizations that "ve personally has experienced trauma" and a woman who wants to marry a sister who does XYZ. The speaker emphasizes the importance of focusing on what men and women say and not getting caught in the trap of being caught in the "veists" of Islam.

Beautiful queens. I keep getting tagged by so many of you on videos

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

of men talking about women in Islam. These are random tiktokers.

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

They're not scholars, and they're saying things like women who do

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

XYZ or XYZ, and you're like, is this true? How could this be true?

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

Is Islam really like this? I can't believe my religion, and I

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

understand where that comes from. It comes from a lot of messaging

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

we've been hearing from so many different sources from so many

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

different places, many times trauma. We read into things

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28

because of those experiences. I understand where that's coming

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

from. At the same time, a man with a beard is not a credential. We

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

have men and women scholars. Men and women scholars who have spent

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

decades researching, learning, writing. We have volumes on one

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

Hadith reducing that to one Tiktok on why some brother doesn't want

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

to marry a sister who does XYZ. May Allah bless you, brother,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

bless your life. And we don't give power by focusing on what they

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

say. Do.
