Yasir Qadhi – The Double Standards on Social Constructs and Identities

			Brothers and sisters, the irony of ironies Wallahi, the irony of ironies, the same movement, the
same strand of you know, social justice and whatnot, who believed that there are more than two
genders, who believe that the whole gender is a social construct, look at their discourse about race
and about ethnicity, they say, they say that race and ethnicity is a social construct, which is
actually true, there is no such thing as race, my brown skin color, you're black, you're white, if I
were to take a blood sample, you couldn't tell my skin color. Race really is a social construct.
Ethnicity really is something that changes every few centuries, my ancestors 500 years ago are going
		

			to be totally different from my children and grandchildren. 500 years from now, race and ethnicity
and social class are 100% constructed by mankind. That much is clear, right? Okay. Now go to the
same crowd and say, I want to choose my race, race, which is a social construct, ethnicity, which is
a figment of the imagination. You cannot tell everybody's ethnicity by their facial features. We all
know this. Sometimes you can't. Sometimes you can't. Sometimes you're mistaken. race, ethnicity,
social hierarchy, who is the royal family who's born into the kingdom? This is completely arbitrary.
This is a social construct. Okay, go to the same movement that wants to tinker with gender and say
		

			to them, let's tinker with an actual social contract construct. Let somebody who's ever white skin
color identify as from African heritage. Let somebody who's from the Far East identify as Caucasian.
Let somebody who was born into a poor family identify as being from the Royal kings of Norway, let
the descendants of a royal dynasty you must announce me by my pronoun, Her Royal Highness. That's
going to be my pronoun. What will the same movement say? Have you lost your mind? Or how dare you?
That's insulting social appropriation misappropriation. You have no right to claim your ethnicity is
different than what you are you have no right to claim your class. Your social hierarchy is
		

			different than what you are. This is social misappropriation. So Subhanallah we say you're right.
You're absolutely right. Yes. I have no right to claim that I am Caucasian or I'm of African
heritage, my heritage is Indian boxer. Absolutely right. But then when we acknowledge that this race
and ethnicity is 100% man made, then we are telling you go beyond this and go to that which is from
Allah subhanho wa Taala do not tinker with what Allah subhana wa Taala has gifted you brothers and
sisters IBLEES threatened threatened Allah subhanho wa Taala IBLEES threatened Allah and he said,
because of what you have done, I will misguide all of these people, little we are known as your
		

			Marine. And he believes said to Allah, the majority of them will be unthankful and you know what he
believes said
		

			whether arm or under him further you her urine, hello, kola.
		

			I'm going to misguide them and command them to the extent they will change the way that you created
them. They're going to disfigure their own selves failure you her urine now hello cola. They're
going to change the way you created them. All Muslims. What bigger disfiguration is there? What
worse mutilation is there? Did not IBLEES say he would do this and we see this happening here. What
greater disfiguration when the gift that Allah has given you, you reject it and say, No, I will cut
my own member off. I will disfigure my own body, and I think this is something that is praiseworthy
brothers and sisters, we should not tinker with the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala what this
		

			movement is doing, it is playing God and you cannot play God with the creation of God because you
are not God. What this movement is doing, it is implementing the misguidance of the beliefs and
rejecting the guidance from Allah subhanahu wa taala. So we seek Allah's protection from this
misguidance and to Him we turn
		

			further
