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.
