Naima B. Robert – I’ll be reacting to my video on #singlemothers

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

			Hey. Assalamu alaikum, guys. Okay. So this is
		

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

			my first time doing this, and I don't
		

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

			know how it's gonna come up. But, here
		

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

			I am. I'm reacting
		

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

			This video has caused a lot of controversy.
		

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

			It's one of the most popular videos on
		

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

			my YouTube
		

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

			for interesting reasons, but
		

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

			it was in 2019.
		

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

			A lot has happened, a lot has changed
		

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

			since then.
		

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

			So I thought that it would make sense
		

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

			for me to react to myself,
		

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

			2 years later to see
		

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

			what still holds true,
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

			what I no longer believe,
		

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

			how
		

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

			I think the conversation has moved since then.
		

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

			So,
		

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

			yeah,
		

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

			let's let's get it.
		

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

			Nigeria.
		

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

			And it is a huge telling a story.
		

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

			Conference. About this conference. And I'm one of
		

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

			the few sisters who are on the panel.
		

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

			Other people on the panel, there's some really
		

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

			big sheikhs there. One of them is Mufti
		

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

			Menck.
		

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

			The names of the others escaped me but
		

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

			they were they were like, you know, very
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

			well respected shiur.
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

			So everybody everyone had a chance to take
		

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

			the mic and do their thing
		

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

			and then at the end,
		

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

			they did a q and a for the
		

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

			audience and it was huge, thousands of people
		

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

			there.
		

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

			So, you know, after some back and forth,
		

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

			they invited me to to come and sit
		

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

			on the the stage,
		

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

			and take part in the in the q
		

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

			and a with the sheikh. She says that
		

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

			she she she thinks she watched it. Yeah.
		

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

			So, anyway,
		

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

			what I wanted to to kind of, you
		

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

			know, talk about was one of the questions
		

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

			that came up was about widows
		

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

			and what we should tell, you know, widows
		

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

			in in our society.
		

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

			So we're gonna get in there, guys.
		

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

			I think I can figure out this live
		

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

			stream situation,
		

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

			So I will be doing a proper reaction.
		

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

			That was just like a little hint.
		

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

			That was a very long story. I don't
		

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

			think I'm gonna be responding to that story.
		

00:02:08 --> 00:02:08

			However,
		

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

			if you would like to see me react
		

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

			to
		

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

			my own videos in which I talked about
		

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

			single mothers and divorcees and having standards,
		

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

			then let me know in the comments and,
		

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

			I will definitely prioritize it inshallah because I
		

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

			think that there are a lot of misconceptions
		

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

			that are floating around. And like I said,
		

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

			I've been on a journey and I have
		

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

			changed in some respects.
		

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

			So please leave a comment below. Let me
		

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

			know if you'd like to see that video,
		

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

			and, of course, subscribe to the channel so
		

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

			that you get the updates.
		

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

			And, may Allah accept our actions
		

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

			and our efforts and forgive us our shortcomings.
