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

In an ideal world, I would have told

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

you, listen, there's no way we can even

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

talk about this. This is the way it

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

should be done, and that's it. But we're

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

not living in an ideal world, so I

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

can tell you

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

congratulations

00:00:10--> 00:00:11

for considering

00:00:12--> 00:00:15

wearing the hijab as soon as you can.

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

You're still quite young. You're still dependent on

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

your folks. Am I right?

00:00:21--> 00:00:22

It's wrong for me to just tell you

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

leave them when you're just gonna be on

00:00:24--> 00:00:26

the street. Make it worse. Some people will

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

tell you that. Leave them. Quit them. Don't

00:00:28--> 00:00:30

worry. Allah will provide. Hang on. It's a

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

right answer

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

with the wrong situation.

00:00:34--> 00:00:35

So

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

for me to tell you, well done. Whatever

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

you're doing to me

00:00:39--> 00:00:42

is probably the best given your circumstance,

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

which I'm not in and no one is

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

in. So if you're telling me, I put

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

on the hijab as soon as I can.

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

When I get home, you know, I can't

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

wear the hijab. I leave home. Well, those

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

are your mahrams anyway. Those are the people

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

within your home anyway. So there is an

00:00:55--> 00:00:56

element of

00:00:56--> 00:00:58

inability perhaps in the in in,

00:00:58--> 00:01:01

you know, where it doesn't overlap. There is

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

an element of inability.

00:01:03--> 00:01:06

Allah knows your struggle more than anyone else.

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

I know born Muslims who don't even wear

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

the hijab. It's no justification, but

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

they might have their own struggles.

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

I will tell you, do your best. Continue

00:01:14--> 00:01:17

to ask Allah. Make dua to him and

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

Allah will give you an opportunity

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

very soon where you'll be in a situation

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

and an environment

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

where nobody's gonna hinder you by the will

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

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:27--> 00:01:27

So

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

again, like what I said to one of

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

the sisters there, I don't have a little

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

switch to say, here's the answer from today.

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

It's gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be okay,

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

but I'm here to listen to you and

00:01:37--> 00:01:37

to acknowledge

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

that if you've done the best given your

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

circumstances,

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

Allah knows your struggle

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

and Allah Almighty will not punish you for

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

something you were unable

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

to do. SubhanAllah.

00:01:50--> 00:01:53

You know, in your situation people might find

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

people who are not in your shoes might

00:01:55--> 00:01:58

say, no, it's so easy. Why don't you

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

take that? You know, what are they gonna

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

do to you? What are they gonna do

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

to you? So take it, you know, it's

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

easy for them to say from outside,

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

Come into my life and then talk.

00:02:06--> 00:02:09

I firstly, it's an issue of loving your

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

folks and so on, which is there. Secondly,

00:02:11--> 00:02:13

it's dependency. I depend on them. They spend

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

on me. They've done for me. They've been

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

there for me. I can't just leave the

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

house. Where am I going to go? What

00:02:18--> 00:02:20

am I go those are legitimate questions. You've

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

got to consider all of that before you

00:02:22--> 00:02:23

just start jumping.

00:02:23--> 00:02:24

But for as long as in your heart,

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

you know that inshallah, you know, as soon

00:02:26--> 00:02:29

as I have have this opportunity, I always

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

make the most of it. May Allah make

00:02:31--> 00:02:34

your struggles easy, and may Allah make the

00:02:34--> 00:02:36

through struggles. Ameen.

00:02:34--> 00:02:36

through struggles. Ameen.
