that man.
Dirty
Drinking water. Oh, this is the drones. And
I said, and what does that mean? What's
the current situation now I just with Rafa?
Well
They were ahead of us. We took the

the wait. Same. Among them are an American
Canadian dual citizen, a Polish citizen, an Australian,
and 3 British citizens, their driver and translator
who is from Gaza. Count your blessings. Count

Assalamu alaikum. Greetings of peace. Welcome to the
Dean's Show. How you guys doing?
An exciting program for you. My next guest,
doctor Haifa Yunus, is an American
board certified obstetrician and gynecologist
and the founder and chairman of Jannah Institute.
She teaches seminars on the thematic commentary on
various chapters
of the verbatim word of god almighty, the
Quran,
and their practices'
relevance
in our day to day living.
Without further ado, doctor Haifa Yunus.
Life of a traveler,
Experiences from different lands. And our religious Conversations
with a brother. We love all the prophets.
The first command was called to the way
of your lord with wisdom. Giving us stories
that inspire you. In India. In India. It's
motivation when you're feeling low.
Speak your heart and let the world know.
Bro, this is the Dean's show.
Discussions on what's really real.
Look at our La hills,
seeing transitions from another life.
Like, look at our La guides
from the streets to Islam,
reformed,
letting old habits go,
inspiration from around the globe.
Bro, this is the Dean Show.
How are you doing?
For having me. It's a pleasure.
Thank you. Thank you for accepting the invitation.
I wanna jump right into it.
I heard you were just recently in Gaza.
Yes.
And
you
you started off in the beginning of describing
your experience there, and I want people to
really imagine this. I mean, imagine your neighbor,
was flying a drone in your yard.
How upset you'd be, right? And you couldn't
it was disturbing you and
imagine if we had just another country flying
drones
in our America here. Let's say people from
Mexico or our neighbors from
wherever else, drones all over the place.
You get upset if you gotta fly in
a room and it's just buzzing, buzzing, it's
driving you crazy.
Describe that,
so it could really hit home like people
this is literally I heard this before, I
was like, come on, it can't be necessary,
but you were describing it and it was
like, this is this is just incredibly
insane.
It is absolutely.
The first time I heard it,
the next day when when they were taking
us in a tour to the,
hospital, and I was like, what is that?
And then they said, oh, that's the drones.
That's how they say it. Oh, that's the
drones.
And then look up look up. I couldn't
see it. Fine. This was just like the
beginning. But then when they showed us our
room where we are staying, and it's a
very small room, 2 windows, my bed was
next to the window.
And then when you are on that bed,
literally a bee is in your ears nonstop.
And then I start asking the people there,
what is this? Oh, literally like you and
me drinking water. Oh, this is the drones.
And I said, and what does that mean?
Doesn't that bother you? They said, we got
used to it. They got used to so
many things. You and me and many of
our viewers
will never even think,
imagine they will go through it, let alone
live it. And they said, oh, if you
hear the drones, don't worry. Smile. I said,
smile?
He said, yeah. Because when there is drones,
that means there is no bombing. They're still
discovering. It's when they are silent,
you need to get very scared. And believe
me, brother Eddie, it is so scary when
they are quiet. And what what are the
mission of those drones?
Locate
and bomb.
Basically, kill.
They're killing machines?
Killing machine with accuracy.
Wow.
They see what they want
and they just attack it.
So you ended up
going from Here America,
you're
a board certified medical doctor,
and you end up in Gaza.
How did that happen?
I begged Allah
Mhmm. And I really wanted to go. You
know, I'm sure many of us are feeling,
what are we doing? Right? These are all
brothers and sisters. This is injustice. This is
suffering. What are we doing?
And I once I came to know that
they are taking physicians from February, I think,
I start really applying to all these organisations
and I didn't get any positive response. I
was in Makkah. I normally spend Ramadan in
Makkah, and I really made a lot of
du'a to Allah. You Allah open it up,
subhanAllah. And when Allah opens it up, he
opens it up in 3 days. I reached
out to somebody I know. They said, yeah.
We can take you. Get ready 2 days.
Get your ticket.
Get this is what they say. You sign
papers. You're not probably you're not coming back.
Anything happens, it's your choice. And she said,
you probably can get to because you have
to go through Egypt. You can go to
Egypt and you will not be Latin. You
can get to Rafah, the Egyptian side, after
12 hours of driving.
Anything can happen. They will not let you
in. You may get to the other side.
They will not let you in. Get ready.
And, subhanallah, you know what? Allah makes things
happen. You just go and you say, Allah,
take me. And if you didn't take me
for whatever the reason, I will still be
rewarded.
Best thing ever happened to me. I'm really
grateful to Allah. So you're literally they have
you sign a paper
that pretty much It's your responsibility.
Your choice. It's like this is it. This
is it. And once you enter,
you cannot leave earlier.
You enter in a day and you leave
in a day. And I want people to
understand, I mean, you had recently you had
those
those volunteers,
humanitarian aid workers,
not just 1, 2, 3, their their cars,
they were going and they were supposed to
have an escort,
and you think, okay, now they'll be safe.
They're they're humanitarian workers and each one of
their cars got bombed. They were ahead of
us. We took the same
road they took, same day. You took the
same wait. Among them are an American Canadian
dual citizen, a Polish citizen, an Australian, and
3 British citizens,
their driver and translator, who is from Gaza.
So when you when you reach to,
at least this was in April. When we
when you reach to Raffa, the Palestinian Yes.
There's usually 2 ways because we're in the
middle. We were assigned to, Deir el Balah.
So there is the main road, Salahuddin,
that was one taken, so nobody can use
it. So they take you through and a
side road, which is very much parallel to
the
sea. But it is not a road. It
is just
dark and you get right to go go
left, go right, go left. It is so
scary. This is one of the moments I
thought I will die.
And I told the the the physicians with
me in the car,
all the volunteers, and said, let's say,
So if anything happens to us, we will
die on the tawhid.
We reached the hospital at 8 PM. They
the World Kitchen came to the hospital at
9 PM. Did.
World Kitchen. That that's where it was. They
were. Oh, exactly.
Three cars, and they were attacked. You're definitely
in a in a death zone. You're there
that at any time, you can be just
obliterated. Absolutely. I mean, because there's no reason
why. And by the way, I mean, the
cars, including theirs, these are usually everything is
signed, UN, UN, WHO. I mean, it's not
just a regular car. These are all they
have, like especially they put it on the
top because You can't miss it. You can't
miss it. It's all over the car. On
the top, bottom, side, left, right has lights
and you can see it right away.
But no rules are being respected?
I
don't know if there's any rules to start
it. There's no but you you have like
UN UNIDENT. Oh. Yeah. You have
ICCJ.
You have all these World International
Organizations,
Geneva Convention.
It's like every rule is, like, being violated
slightly. In front of the this is the
hospital. Just and it's the hospital of the
road. It's very simple. The the house,
3
probably 3 blocks from the second entrance of
the house, the house is all destroyed.
Right? One only survivor. It was all civilians.
You don't know why this was attacked.
Now somebody was actually one of my colleagues,
non Muslim, she asked me, did you see
any,
tunnels under the hospital? I said, we didn't
see anything. We we the only people we
met were civilians.
These are like you and me and, you
know, young and old and woman and and
half of them were not even patients, but
they took refuge in the hospital because it's
the only place that has electricity. Mhmm. What
do you like to say to people? I
mean, I to get them to understand
what's really going on for the novice, the
person who's like, you know because at first
glance, they try to make you feel like
it's so complicated. Right?
And but it's pretty straightforward when you just
get informed properly
and you get the facts,
and you understand that this is not a
Jewish Muslim thing. I tell my Christian
friends, my Jewish friends that, look, if these
were innocent
Jewish babies, if these were innocent Christian babies,
no matter what, all human life is precious.
Absolutely. This is this is something that,
is clear. Us as Muslims who adhere to
the to the verbatim word of God Almighty,
the Quran, it's straightforward. It's sad to see
I don't know if you've seen some of
those videos
where people
some religious people, are actually
condoning this. I don't know if you have
seen some of those. It's scary.
Point is right here that Hashem said do
not have mercy on the children. But in
Islam, it's straight cut. You cannot
harm
noncombatants.
Infrastructure
destroying others.
Clear rules of engagement. Right? So and then
the land theft,
you know, the stealing of other people's,
land,
the controlling of their food,
the apartheid, you know, the open air,
prison or open air concentration camp, you know,
the daily oppression of people, soldiers going in
people's houses and sleeping in their beds, and
it's just unbelievable.
What do you like when you speak to
others who are kind of not understanding the
situation? And they think, okay, because they're trying
to make the narrative, like, they just wanna
eradicate all Jewish people. They just want to,
you know, this is their survival. They have
a right to defend themselves and this is
for their existence. Regardless
and regardless and I fully agree with you.
I always tell people it's not a religious
conflict.
It is not. I mean, Jews lived with
the Muslims. I mean, I grew up in
Iraq. We had I'm one of my best
friends were Christian. We're Jews. It is basically,
it is a land issue.
You have your home for the
the longest you can think of. And then
as somebody comes in in the last 75
years and come to your house and says,
this is my house, you're out. So that's
number 1. Number 2 is the daily life.
I'll give you one example so that all
the viewers will know this.
The Palestinians are usually extended families. So you
have here somebody living in Chicago and somebody,
let's say, living in California.
You wanna go and see your family. What
do you do? You take a plane or
you take a car and you go. Right?
Natural. Norm. Not in Palestine. So if the
family lives in Gaza because I asked them
about this. They live in Gaza, and their,
let's say, brother lives in the West Bank.
Normally, the drive is maybe an hour, hour
and a half. You can't do that. Number
1, there's no airports.
You cannot fly from Gaza. Can't. Or from
the West Bank. So what do you have
to do? You have to go out to
Egypt. And from Egypt, you fly to Jordan.
And from Jordan, you have to drive to
get to Jerusalem and then to the West
Bank. This is about 2 days.
Right? Number 1. Number 2, imagine this. They
told me there is 3 things
that it is not allowed to come to
the country
even
before all this.
There's no chocolate,
there's no ice cream, and there's no pencils.
Why is that?
Repeat that. No chocolate, no ice cream, no
pencils. What Yeah. Never. It's it's not allowed
to Did I hear that when you say
ice cream? Yeah. And it's like, why?
Why? I I I still need to we
heard this. Maybe they're trying to watch
I would love that. I would I would
be very happy Uh-huh. If that's the case.
So that's that's number 1. I think people,
the misconceptions are the following. Number 1, they
really need to go to the root cause.
The root cause, this is didn't start in
October 7th.
This has been going on for years.
For example, I went I used to visit
Jerusalem, you know,
go and pray there. And I have met
many Palestinian lives in not in Gaza. Gaza,
they can't. The other places, it took them
a day to come in a in a
normal 30 minutes and an hour because of
all the checkpoints.
And you can, you cannot, and all the
humiliation. It's their daily life.
So that's number 1. Everybody needs to go
and read about the root cause, what is
happening. Number 2, what happened on October 7?
Somebody gave me a very beautiful,
analogy there. They said, okay. So your your
child hits the child of the neighbor.
Right? Mhmm. And you say he had no
right to do that. Okay. Then what do
you do? You go around and you destroy
the whole house of the neighbor.
Is that fair? Is that how it is?
Is that how I defend myself? So there's
a lot of exaggeration.
There is,
humiliation,
children with no I saw I can't tell
you what I saw. I saw children, no
future.
8 year old alone in the hospital lost
everybody. I see him every single day wearing
scrubs, pushing
the,
patient's beds. The last day as I was
leaving, I was like, wow. You're a really
smart
young man. He said, looked at me. And
children, by the way, there are men because
their life pushed them to be men way
younger. There's no childhood.
Right? And he said,
I'm gonna be an orthopedic surgeon. I said,
wow. Yes.
And then he said and then my companion
I mean, he said he lost all his
family. He's been living in this hospital, 8
year of
age. 8 years old living in this hospital
for the last 4 months alone. Nobody. They
divide the orphan into 4 categories.
Imagine imagine this is any of our children.
A child who lost everybody, including extended family.
So he's the only survivor.
You have a child who lost parents but
still had some extended family. A child who
lost a father, still has the mother, or
the other way around, 4 categories.
Woman,
young and old, either they are or, became
a widowed already, or they don't know what
is the men of the family.
Don't talk about value
about valuables, about homes, about money.
They don't think about this anymore.
The basic right
of human living,
literally, is not there. The basic
the base you need a clean water. What
is a clean water for you and me?
What is a bed for you and me?
What is food? And I'm not talking about
luxury food. I I I I had it.
1st day we arrived, it's Ramadan, started fasting,
and they said we are sending you the
iftar.
By 9 PM, what was the iftar, brother
Eddie? They they brought me I have the
pictures of it. That's 3 cans. 1 is
hummus, one is beans, and the third one,
I don't know what it is. So I
said, I'm not opening these 2.
Not snot waste. And they said, for you,
we're getting you a piece of bread.
So I took 3 piece wallahi. I mean
and Allah is my witness. I have pictures
of it. I took 3 bites of the
hummus. I know what is hummus. And I
said, alhamdulillah, it was 9 PM. Let's rest.
All
night, I was thronged up. My stomach couldn't
take it,
and these people were living on it for
7 months when we were there for 7
months.
Why?
And why that long?
So these are
things
that now the the every human being
has good in them, obviously. We
have this
built in us to distinguish basic things that
are evil
and many people are seeing the evil that's
being put in 4 ks right before our
eyes and many are speaking out. You see
a public shift
happening and it's unfortunate that some people are
gonna go on the wrong side of history.
They are on the wrong side and if
they don't switch now, they're gonna end up.
So
when you
are there and you're seeing these children
and you'll see
to get people behind this you have to
paint the people like they're animals. They're not
like me and you.
You've heard this term, Amalek, right? You've heard
these terms like
we have to get their children because they'll
grow up to be, you know, they're scared
of the children even growing up and so
they dehumanize
and then now it's like, okay, my consciousness
shuts off because these are not human. And
other people in history were also called
and they were oppressed, they were called rats
and they were called others to go ahead
and justify,
but it's unfortunate
now they're doing the same thing to these
beautiful
young
children and you've seen those children. It's like
what's the majority
of them or even also
refugees from Absurdened. Displaced.
And how was how many it's like 50%
of the population there is, like, under the
age 18? Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, if you
look if I now remember the scene in
the hospital,
you see
at least
at least 40%. I'm just giving a rough
Yeah. Is children. Just children. Children. There were
children. It's children. And then you see probably
actually more. I will say 50% are children,
and then maybe 30%
are women, and then 20%
are men. Either they are injured,
they are disabled,
or they are older.
And the children still with all this brother
Adi, they are children.
You know what? We gave them the end
the last day. Because there's things they told
us bring with you, so we brought with
us, of course, gloves they don't have. Mhmm.
And then as we were leaving, we had
this box of gloves. We were giving it
to the children. You know what they did
with it? They blew it and made it
as balloons,
and you should see the courtyard of the
hospital.
They're all jumping, playing with the balloons.
Why?
Like your child, all our children. Right? What
is balloon? And they're only this color or
that color. What is cakes?
What is chocolate?
Right? Again, ice cream, dessert. What is this?
Meat.
Meat.
Me coming from here because we stayed about
5 days.
No meat. The day they brought us a
big, huge it's a famous Palestinian dish, majaddara.
At the end, I put my fork. I
was telling my roommate, I think I feel
something at the bottom.
Literally looked and I said, wow.
Piece of meat. I took it out and
I was showing her. Can you believe?
And for us, what is meat? But this
was only 5 days. Mhmm. Now what about
them?
I I think
humanity needs to wake up.
You know, humanity
and and look at everyone
equal.
They need to live
equally and there is always ways of solving
problems
without this.
I don't have a word. You know, many
people have asked me. I said, there's no
word to describe
what I saw.
It's it's beyond. It's you just feel,
where are we heading?
Here, you mentioned something about death, and I
just wanna put,
a disclaimer here because I heard one
politician once, he's saying they worship death like
Muslims.
But obviously we prepare for death death by
doing good deeds,
by living our purpose in life that our
Creator
created us for to worship 1 and only
1 God and to be morally upright, and
we know there's a paradise at the end
and and a hellfire, and this life is
not just it.
So that's when we talk about death. No
Muslim just wants to die,
But you mentioned here they talk about death
like you and I talk about what we're
gonna have for dinner.
Because they have no choice. That's it. You
and me talk about what we have for
dinner because we have choice. Mhmm. They know
actually me for for 8 days, us, the
group,
we
prepared ourselves that we may not wake up
in the morning.
I didn't make the choice. I I never
thought of making this choice. But everything around
you makes you feel you can die in
any second. That's their life.
Absolutely. That's their life. Because if the drone
is on your head 247,
what do you expect? If you are
praying or you're or you are seeing patients
and then you hear a huge bombing, you
are in the middle of the ER and
suddenly not not even, ambulances. They don't have
it. Cars suddenly rushing, you know, they are
bringing. And they bring dead people. They bring
injured children bleeding. I mean,
scenes you I have personally seen it only
in movies.
And SubhanAllah. So, of course, you have to
prepare yourself like you're going to the desert
for camping. What do you prepare yourself for?
You're gonna prepare yourself for it. It's gonna
happen. You don't want it. You're not planning
on it, but that's a possibility.
That's the same way they are. Mhmm. They
said
I I wanna get you, this is
one one example of a reaction. Usually people,
when they're in these situations, they just lose
it. Right? They're cursing this, cursing that, cursing
God, just all over the place. But I
wanna get your reaction to this. Is this
just
a unique
individual, or is this something that we're seeing
the response
from the majority of people like this?
What was she saying for the people who
She was, she was talking to God and
says, you took my house and I said
all praise to you.
You took security. I said all praise to
you. You took my son, the first one.
All praise to you. There's no food. All
praise to you. Now she is mourning her
second I don't know. 2nd or 3rd son.
I couldn't get it. And she said, all
praise to you. And she's talking to her
son. You're going there. Give,
greetings to the Rasul, alayhis salatu wa salam.
And then,
something in that we will see you.
That's very normal.
That's normal. That's very normal. I've seen it
more than one one time.
Young children,
this one story which really
hit hard on me because I did see
that. We were praying. It was Ramadan. So
it was tahajjud salah and, like, 2 AM,
a young a young 13 year old come
in and join us.
2 AM. And then after 2 rukat, 2
units, he moves to the front, talk to
the imam. The imam goes back, the the
13 year old
lead us.
Then he finished. Then he looked at all
of us, young man, telling
us, a small, beautiful,
poem about Palestine. He was Palestinian. Okay. Why
I'm saying this? Because then the imam looked
at us and says, you know the story
of this boy. I said, no.
They said he was with all the extended
family in one building. This is how the
what happens to them. So they all crumbled,
you know, like 50 people in 1 building,
and then they got hit that building. Right?
He lost everybody except 3, his 2 cousins
and himself. So they came in to to
save them. They saved the 2 cousins. They
forgot him.
But what was he carrying in his hand?
This is a 13 year old boy.
5 year old, his cousin dead
for 3 hours.
When this other cousin went to the hospital,
he said, oh, he's still alive.
I spoke to him, this is what you
hear.
They they have
faith in action.
Faith,
and I spoke to another woman who
the story was beyond me. And I said
literally, I said, I'm a woman. You are
a woman.
How can you live this? And she said,
I raised my children
on living in the way that pleases God
and in everything is lawful,
and then this life is temporary.
One day, we're all gonna be out. She
said, anybody stayed here forever?
And then we live this life to the
way that pleases God. They are connected.
And you're not talking about people who are,
like PhD in Islamic studies. You talk about
ordinary people. That's what you hear.
All praise to
Allah. The only word of complaint I heard
for 10 days
because I speak the language, so I'm talking
to people asking them everything. 1, she said
that well, in the Arabic, the Torah Tabna.
We're getting tired.
That's it.
That is it.
Look at me and you and us
from the morning till the evening. They are
very
strong,
goal oriented.
They know again we're dying.
There is heavens. There is *. We're gonna
be taken accountable,
and they believe in the cause.
They believe and they they pray. I didn't
see anybody. Didn't wake up for Fajr.
Didn't see anybody who didn't do tahajjud, whether
individual or came with us.
They're different. This is how I I left
Gaza and saying there is different people. You
know, when we read and and teach about
sahaba, the companions of Rasul alaihi salatu al
salam, and he said, how did he carry
the flag and then he's gonna go,
You you see these people.
When you grow up
on
not too much luxury and everything is given
and your basic rights are taken. You learn
to adapt, and you learn to focus, and
you learn to to to live differently. So
they do not
worship death. No. They don't. If they worship
death, why do it kept showing me their
pictures before and after.
This is our home before.
They show me pictures. People I didn't know
these are the people.
Average person lost 25 kilos. I was like,
this is you?
But they said, you know what? Whatever
God bring us,
we have to take it, and we will
live the way it pleases him, but we
are still
defending our rights.
Yeah. It it had me think, when Jerusalem
here, when it was historically, I mean, people
can check and this is history that's a
lot of times they don't teach you in
school.
When the Muslims
were ruling Jerusalem, you didn't have this kind
of stuff
of people being oppressed. You had people given
their rights. Absolutely. You know, the people of
the book, they had they were protected people.
People were really living in a relative peace.
Is this correct? Yes. Absolutely.
Even in Medina. Mhmm. In Medina,
with the prophets, peace be upon him, Muslims
were there. They are ruling. They
are the power. The Medina
yes. The Medina Charter. But then Jews were
living there. As long as they
respect and the other, they have their rights,
everything.
As I told you, I grew up in
Iraq,
and my friend was Christian. There was a
lot of Jews. They chose to leave or
they chose to stay, but
it's again, it is not about religion. It
is not about religion. This is again, this
is an historic
this is a land that was given unjustly
to other people. And even the other people,
why can't they live together as everybody else
lived? Mhmm. Why it is they have no
rights the other side at all?
You mentioned, this is interesting, I have not
seen a woman not covered and saying that
if we die, you know, they're still preserving
their their modesty.
It was This is actually why I asked
her, yeah. This is the same woman who
said, I raise my children on halal. I
have not seen a single woman. I didn't
see a hair
of a woman in those old days, including
the woman who I delivered and did a
c section for.
And I and I thought, you know, it's
because they don't have resources. And she said
no. So when I die, I die covered.
See, they are they're different. So many lessons
we can take now
from from seeing these You know, they say,
oh, thank you
for coming. May Allah reward you for coming.
You helped us a lot. And I said,
no. You helped us looking at this life
very differently.
And what does it mean when you have
principles and you live by your principles? Mhmm.
I bear witness
that there is I bear witness that there
is no god but no god but Allah.
No god but Allah. God but Allah. And
Muhammad is his messenger. And Muhammad is his
messenger. Welcome to Islam.
We're
seeing a a shift, you know, perception now
of Muslims
is changing, you know, even despite the media
duplicity.
Are you seeing it firsthand yourself? Absolutely. Yeah.
There's even throughout this time, there is a
shift. Social media,
is is is not people are faking it.
I mean, these people are on the ground,
and they are seeing. And and anyone, any
human being, they can see, maybe not as
much as I saw because I was there,
but you see the reality. And people absolutely
and increase, especially
between women, you know, when they see the
Palestinian woman.
I hear it. I was like, this is
the this is how the Muslim woman should
be. Why? Because of the Quran. I wanna
read the Quran. They read the Quran. They
become Muslim. Mhmm. It's absolutely.
You mentioned
a young boy
and his dauntless, fearless
attitude where he went up. I mean, this
is a young kid, young boy, and he
went up on a tank or something? Yes.
This is the same mother Yes. With the
son, who they were they were from the
north. They were displaced three times. And the
4th time, she said, I don't know how
we survived, but it is not the time
for us to go. So they told her,
go and walk next to the sea.
If the sea is on your right side,
brother Eddie, you're going south. And if the
sea on your right if the sea is
on your right side, you're going south. If
it's on the left side, you're going north.
Okay. So she said, where do I go?
She said, go and walk on the on
parallel to the sea, meaning you go south.
She said, I want I took this 12
year old boy,
and then she said, barefooted, no food.
She said, we reached a point where I,
the mother, I can't do this anymore. I
need something to eat or drink. And the
boy kept telling her, I can't walk anymore.
I need something to eat. She said that
she looked up. She saw a soldier. So
she went up to the soldier. Yani, what's
the possibility you will live?
She went. And she said, this boy is
hungry. Give me anything just just to keep
him going. So So he gave her, like,
a piece of cake. Right? So she told
the son, come up. The son, come up.
And the son is 12 year old, short
tiny,
and he saw a tank.
And he jumped on the top of the
tank,
and then he saw what's what's inside the
tank. And he said the 2 soldiers in
the tank pushed forward backward. They were scared.
And I can't remember his name. And I
said, weren't you scared?
He said, no. I just wanna see what's
inside.
What is
this?
Literally, I have no words. I was like,
you Allah.
I wanna go ahead since we were talking
about the hijab and the woman's modesty.
There was a unique situation
of what's allegedly a IDF soldier, and I
believe this is in the UK.
Why do we need to have this discussion?
Is anybody else in
I don't know. How
I'm fully trained as an
So it's not IDF.
It's IOF.
IOF.
That's what they say. Yes. That's the the
term they use. And and that stands for?
It's, Israeli offensive forces
or Israeli
occupation forces. Occupation forces.
Because the only people defending themselves are the
innocent children
and the innocent people there.
So what do you think when you see
this now? You see that, this person is
representing himself, as IDF, IOF,
and now
he had
taken off. I guess he assaulted,
probably the one recordings, not the Muslim woman,
but
she was stepping up. No. He's still on
the back.
Yeah. So he went and started assaulting a
Muslim woman.
And you're somebody who also
imitates,
Mary, the mother of Jesus. We discussed this
in our last program.
And when you see this, I mean, such
a coward. I mean, this is just, and
then the man steps up and then he
just shrivels up. But, when you see that,
what's your reaction? I tell you what I
see.
I see a lot of goodness in this,
but not from that man. Yeah. That man,
I feel sorry for. You know why? Honestly.
Because he's a human being,
but he's misinformed.
There's a reason why he's saying this. It's
simply because he doesn't know. Like many many
human beings, he doesn't know. Because if he
went with me to Gaza and he saw
what I saw, he will never do that.
He will never do that. But what I
really liked
is the non Muslim woman.
Why? Because she's a human defending a human.
Yes. And she's a woman defending woman dignity.
Nobody has a right to attack anybody.
Right? Publicly,
it's a freedom of choice. Whatever you wanna
practice, practice as long as you're not offending
other. And then I like the 2 men.
May may Allah bless the 2 men also.
The 2 men who came in and one,
you could see he's becoming very close to
the other woman, and then the man came
in in between both. Yes. Yes. This is
how we should act. When evil comes in,
we, as a human, we need to stop
that evil, not defend that evil. Mhmm. Imagine
if this man,
all these people in the station defended him.
What will happen to this woman?
The other Muslim woman. What will happen to
them? They will be attacked. Yes. But when
everybody stood up
with the right thing to do, this man
became alone, and finally he got arrested. Mhmm.
Yeah. And then, the common
the common
attacks are that and he starts
with the derogatory language and you're anti Semitic
and whatnot. You know? What do you like
how do you like to respond to that?
What again,
why this
is anti Semitic?
This has nothing to do with Jewish or
a Muslim.
Right? This is a Muslim woman. Is she
Palestinian? I don't think so. If I am
correct, I think it's the colored woman. She's
not a Palestinian. Why you are attacking a
Muslim woman?
Why? Did she say anything about against the
Jews? Was she carrying something about the Jews?
Did she say? Did she act? It's just
assumption because that's what we are feeding everybody.
And this really that there's a lot of
responsibility
fall on many
to make sure people know the truth and
let them then decide. But don't feed them
that if you say anything
with the people of Palestine, you're anti Semitic.
No. Because
I'm sorry, but there is people Palestine that
are non Muslims. Mhmm. There there are people,
Jews, who are There are Christians also who
are also Palestinian there. And there is Jews
who live in in in here and live
elsewhere who are saying this is what is
happening is not just. They're saying not in
our name. Exactly. Not in our name. Yeah.
So people whose heart is alive,
their heart is not dead, their humanity is
on. Yes. They can see the injustice has
happened there and people are starting to speak
out. I I I thought I thought this
was interesting, this, next clip here Yes. Because,
it kinda because it revolves around him trying
to take out the hijab and so many
misconceptions
about revolve around that. And I usually make
the example of Mary, the mother Jesus. If
you type in in Google Mary, the mother
of Jesus, she's gonna be Cover. Having what
you have on. Yes. But this video kinda
shows
different countries
with women in the hijab.
Goes back to what you were saying, education.
Like when you see look at these historically
when you go back what did you say,
how far back and you see pretty much
women preserving their modesty, modest dress, they're like
wearing hijab, they're not even Muslim. Absolutely.
Because
haya, bashfulness,
you know,
and humbleness
is not related
to religion
only.
It is related to humanity.
As a human beings,
we are
we look at ourselves differently. And Allah created
God created us to look at ourselves
differently. We need to be covered. I mean,
it's a verse very well known in the
Quran in general, Right?
Cover yourself.
Don't let shaitan,
the the Satan
lure you to take off your
clothes. SubhanAllah is not coming, but the it's
in Surah Al Araw where don't let shaitan
lure you to remove your garment, and the
garment of piety is the best garment. But,
again, because we we really need to read
history, brother Adi.
I mean, as to make a fair judgment
on anything,
you need to read
history, what happened, reality. Number 2 is people
have the right. Right?
They always talk about the right of people
to choose. Right? A woman decide not to
cover and a woman decide to cover.
That's a choice you made to obey Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala for the Muslim woman. To
obey Allah or not to obey Allah. I
don't have the right to come and offend
anyone because I am not God.
I am not. I have I can say
my opinion, of course, but respect we are
losing this respect to humanity,
respect, let alone to women. This is public.
This is underground in in I don't know
if underground or train station.
Why?
What is the reason for this? Did she
provoke him?
No. She was walking because the woman was
telling him. Yeah. She was walking.
Why? This man was misinformed,
misinformed,
misinformed
with a lot
of hate unfiltered in in him. Hate, that's
what it
brings. Every every,
extreme bring another extreme, and we really need
to come back to the middle.
And that that's the, ironic thing. You see
a lot of people, they're tag teaming
up and their relationships are based off hate,
hating,
Muslims and hating pretty much the unknown. Yeah.
Because when you really get to know Islam,
like most people now when they're they're seeing
this,
what's going on in Gaza and then they're
opening the Quran, they're reading for themselves, and
many are even accepting Islam.
And then when you see you study the
history and you see,
the the one that,
Jesus' mother, that this blessed woman, the most
honored woman in Islam wearing hijab, and historically
you see women preserving themselves, and then you
see what Islam's core message is, the preserving
of the absolute oneness of God, the monotheism
and
being morally upright, being a good human being,
and then you see, wow, these are things
that I can connect with. These are things
that make sense. Absolutely.
And,
The main thing Islam came in to protect
the 5. You know this. Mhmm. The 5
basics, which is number 1 is life. Life.
Religion.
Yes.
Property.
Yes. Sanity. Uh-huh. And,
honor. Yeah. Yeah. Any of these
remember life before religion.
Mhmm. Human being life is very
absolutely it's very sacred.
This all came is down to preserve,
not to destroy. And if people know that,
then why do you have an issue with
Islam? I think Islam is the most misunderstood
religion,
and people don't present it, let alone the
media, of course, and everything connect with Islam
even if it is not. Like, remember ISIS.
Did ISIS has anything to do with Islam?
Right?
And then propagate it. The same way the
KKK doesn't represent Christianity? Christianity.
Exactly.
Right? So I think the most important thing
for everybody, Muslims and non Muslims,
educate yourself. Go to the right source. And
I'm so grateful to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
for something called social media Yeah. Because it
brought reality.
I mean, I was there. I was seeing
it. It's not someone told me.
You brought up ISIS. I don't know. Some
people said ISIS stands for something else other
than this. Have you you know that abbreviation?
No. No. The Israeli
Secret Intelligence Service.
If it were to have initials, it would
be I s I s. Oh, okay.
Alright. So, in conclusion now,
so you spent some time, may God Almighty
Allah reward you. There's doctors still to this
day going there. Can they still get there
with everything that's happening? Yeah. They're not in,
What's the current situation now? I just
Well, there was group who came after us,
and then they were stuck there for about
a week. Yes. But now all of them
left. I met 2 of them last week.
Yeah.
And then I was just told this morning,
there's a group supposed
to be,
in inshallah, God's willing, they will be leaving
on 17th June. They really need that help,
brother Adi.
The health system
I don't know if I've you know, I
call anything left to it Mhmm. If there
is any health system. I did a c
section there, and it's so ironic. I did
a c section there. And the day I
landed, like, the 1st day of work after
I came back, I did a c section.
The woman comes in. Right? Not a single
requirement of hygiene, meaning she's covered by a
blanket from whatever.
She is not, her hair covered by her
own,
hijab. You bring her to the operating room.
Nothing on the
operating table. There was anesthesia
because there was some medication, but there is
the basics when we do c section. And
here, what size of gloves? Right, what instruments
he use there. Doctor Yunus, only 7 and
a half, 1 and a half size my
hand. I had to do it. I have
no other option. Right? No cautery,
no suction.
Right? Sutures. They give you whatever, and you
just work. As I finished, the call says
patient is bleeding
after surgery. So I go on to see
her. Right? Normally, here in the United States,
you go, you see look at the patient
face, and you look at the monitor so
you know what is going on. I go.
I look up. There's no monitor. There's no
blood pressure.
It's amazing. And then you just use your
whatever you know, whatever. I just held her
hand and I checked the pulse. I said
the pulse is strong. She's fine. No medications
that normally you have here, a cascade
of things you do.
I said, we only have this medication. I
said, give it to her. You start praying
and you ask Allah to keep her strong.
She looks at you and says I'm fine.
The patience makes you even stronger. So this
is the health system.
Nothing.
I mean, they they are extremely resourceful.
Here, like, I can't do this because that's
not the right instrument. They they if not
the right instrument, they make it the right
instrument.
They don't have it.
Final, words, I mean, for for people here.
You got,
I mean, just we have so many blessings.
There are so many things you've been complaining
day and night and,
just listening to this, I mean, this should
really be a wake up call for many
of us here.
And to really
when you mentioned
you didn't see one of them not waking
up for Fudger,
praising and thanking their creator instead of cursing
the day and the night and God and
reminding
ourselves about
death. They can
I mean, if it's written, they'll survive? Some
of us can die tomorrow, Right? And we're
not taking the dean seriously and,
getting involved in all the things that we
some people shouldn't be involved in. And, you
know, what lessons? What did you take from
that Yes. Coming back and what what advice
I will say to everybody listening to us,
number 1, literally the word we use, but
we don't use it seriously. Count your blessings.
Count your blessings. Count your blessings. You know
what does it mean to have a clean
bathroom?
We were physicians, one bathroom for 30 people.
For the hospital, 300
people. Count the blessing of having clean water,
have food,
and safety.
Safety, you sleep.
You sleep and you wake up, and there
is nothing around you. You don't know what
is gonna happen. Are you gonna be dead
or alive?
Number 2, for us as Muslims, this is
to the Muslims, we really need go back
to
Allah We really need to start practicing our
deen the way that pleases Allah. Let not
that this life, with this all the luxury
that Allah blessed us, would take us away
from him.
Because it could be me, you, anyone listening
that turn back to Allah sincerely and he
or she is pleasing to Allah. Make this
dua, you Allah, and it and it will
end.
For the non Muslim, the same thing. Let
not the focus be this life.
Nobody will live forever. Anybody? Nobody.
And then there is after it, there is
accountability.
And for the non Muslims especially, or even
the Muslims who are not very well educated
about this topic,
educate yourself.
Read history.
Read what is Palestine.
Read what is Gaza. Read about the people
read about 1948.
Read about the Belfort,
declaration.
All these, so you have an idea.
This is
an end, and I hope it is the
end. This is basically the result of a
long
history of
injustice, injustice, injustice in every human being.
Every soul should stand up for injustice. We
see animal
when injustice is done against animal. We as
Muslims
and as a human in general should stand
up for that animal because he's defenseless.
So how about when we see all these
children and women?
SubhanAllah.
JazakAllah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Absolutely.
JazakAllah,
Thanks.
Absolutely.
