00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			What do you do when someone tells
you that, as a woman, you should
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			not be a part of Dawa, or that you
should not actively seek knowledge
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			because you won't really need it,
it's not really your place. What's
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:15
			the answer? Let's ask some. She's
Dr Haifa Yunus, founder of Jannah
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			Institute, hakita and mashaAllah
international speaker Tabata Kala
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			and OBGYN shekha. What is your
answer?
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:29
			Why not Allahu Akbar, Sayyida
Aisha was a day. Sayyida Fatima as
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			I was dying, and the day is not
necessarily. You're going to do it
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			everywhere. You're a first day in
your home. And without knowledge,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			how can you be a DA Allahu Akbar,
and if Allah wants to use you
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			outside, let it be Alhamdulillah,
as long as you the way you do it,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			please. Allah, what you dress the
way you speak? Alhamdulillah.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:54
			MashaAllah Sheikha, Dr Reni owed
who is Masha Allah, one of the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			head researchers in Muslim mental
health, the head of the Muslim
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			mental health lab at Stanford,
ijazat, from Syria, what is your
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:07
			answer? I can't understand why
this question would even be a
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			question. What I saw in Syria when
I was studying are women who are
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			both sheikhas and are absolutely
doing everything that you can do
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			in society, whether it's working
in every field of and domain there
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			is to work, whether they're
mothers or not. But whatever
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			they're doing, they're also doing
Quran and Hadith and fiqh and her
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			and everything that you can
imagine the Dawa is something that
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			you can you have to see it to
understand how this works. And
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			there's absolutely no difference
between the man or the woman. And
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			so when you see this number of
women who are hafilat and are
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:46
			mujizat, basically licensed
Islamic sacred sciences. And you
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			see that the women are doing this.
It's not even a question. So when
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			someone asks me this, I'm like,
What kind of question is this?
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			Because I lived it and saw it.
Allahu, AK, everybody else will
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:00
			get to that too. A status speaker,
masha Allah, well known on
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			purification of the heart, super
active on social media and giving
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			tawa. May Allah bless you. Share
with us.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			As the other speaker said, it's
not a question that needs to be
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			asked, because we don't need
permission from anyone to do Allah
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			subhanahu wa teaches us. What does
that mean? Teach, even if it's one
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			ayah. So I don't need anyone else
to tell me that I shouldn't do
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			more than that. He gave me the
permission I need. Allah, Akbar
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			aminidarish, MashaAllah ALLAH,
she's the chaplain Stanford
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			University. She has an ijaza in
all 10. Kira at she has a PhD.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			Tabata Allah, what's your answer?
The most common misconception
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			about Muslims in America is the
oppression of women. And every
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			time I show up somewhere and
they're like, but Islam oppresses
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			women, I'm like, my dude, they
sent me a law. So wrong. That's to
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			anyone that asks, Why do Muslim
women know stuff? This is what we
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			should all be doing if we are
serious about our Dawa in this
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			country, one and two, it would be
an insult to our mothers to not do
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			them, to not take up the leg.
