in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the most merciful, all praises due to Allah. We may have witnessed that no one is worthy of worship but Allah And we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is indeed his final messenger.

The best of speech is a book of Allah. The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam May Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who listen to the best of speech, the book of Allah and follow its commandments. And may Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who come to though the best of ways the way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and make us amongst his followers Allah whom Amin Allah whom mean Allahu Allah Ameen.

funny enough, oh, Johanna that you guys guys. Well, are you Dina? Xena Tahuna Ilana Zahara minha while you're gonna be homeboy, Hoonah Allah you will begin. What are you Dina Xena Tahuna Illa Illa Seville

these are verses from Surah to know where Allah subhanaw taala commands believing men and believing women to together both men and women participate in the making of a decent modest society.

Allah begins with the men on male minimum, tell the believing men palummo Meaning I hope boom in opposite order him to lower their gaze.

God their chastity for indeed Allah subhanaw taala is fully aware of all that they do.

Tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity Allah says guard your chastity lower their gaze, for this is more conducive to your own purity. This is more conducive to your own purity men and women. And then Allah commands believing women to

not show their adornments except for that which is reasonably appearing. Unless it is their spouses, their fathers, the fathers of their spouses, their own children, their stepchildren, and then it goes on to speak about other different relatives.

But in this, Allah Subhana Allah tells us, here's the beauty of this. Allah starts by addressing them men to lower their gaze before asking the believing women to put on the hijab.

Number two,

guarding your chastity is a personal responsibility.

Regardless what society promotes, regardless of what society encourages, regardless of what society teaches, it is a personal responsibility. That is your personal responsibility, both for men and women, guarding your chastity is a personal responsibility.

Number three,

you lower your gaze,

believe believing men lower your gaze, believing women lower your gaze irrespective regardless of what other people may wear or not wear in front of you. You are personally as an individual responsible to lower your case.

Why do you lower your gaze

simply because if somebody wakes up in the morning and come out wearing provocatively for the sake of getting attention, you give them that attention. You are complacent.

Now you've become part of the problem.

So what happens Allah subhanaw taala says you've got to lower your gaze

We don't control what other people wear, but you are responsible to lower your gaze. Why do you do that? This is more conducive. Allah says, delicate as God. This is more control conducive of your own purity.

And the Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam speaks, teach us about this idea of

higher modesty. And in the Hadith he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said liquidy, in in hollow, every religion seems to have a character, a virtue, that they like to boast about that they say that this is very distinctive to them. So it luckily didn't hold every religion, every way of life. They seem to boast about some virtue that they have. And then he said, we're in a whole new culture, Islam are higher. The virtue that Muslims must uphold most is this idea of modesty.

being modest, they speak about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they would say that he was the most modest of people. They speak as modesty is one of the attributes of Allah subhanaw taala your golden Wu sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Allah ha ha ye Yoon, Si, T. Allah subhanaw taala is to what is he loves to conceal the folds and the mistakes of the believers? That he is so modest Allah subhanaw taala Yes, the he and yonfan Abuja de la Allah for Allah. Allah subhanaw taala Sephora Lea de

la blame you Jamel Helaman Kira

and the crop yes, there he go like yesterday. Why have you failed the hosel familia de is that Allah Subhana Allah is so modest, that when a servant of his raises his hands, Allah is too modest, to send that servant, empty handed. Isn't that beautiful? That you actually we worship a lord a God that is too modest. Every time you raise your hands and you beg of him. He's too modest to send you back empty handed. He'll give you something. Why does he is too modest to do that.

So similarly, our Dean's call for modesty. Our Lord, part of his attribute is that he is modest. Our messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is modest as well.

Few days back, probably know this.

There was a ban in France,

that Muslim women, Muslim students in the public school it was a national and national ban

that these Muslim girls could not come to school

wedding attire.

And ABA is a long robe like garment. I bet you this may qualify to be a buyer.

It said that Muslim girls were banned you could not come to school wearing other and they had special staff waiting at the doors to see these girls as they walk in. And if a girl dead and came to school wearing abaya, she was reprimanded sent to the principal sent back home to change what they're wearing.

Is it safety concerns? You know, we've got a lot of escalators elevators, you know, maybe not safe. It had nothing to do with safety had absolutely nothing to do with safety.

Muslims in France they file an appeal, saying that you couldn't do it this man Come on man, what happened to liberty? What happened to freedom if anything that you're boast about is the freedom to speak the freedom to wear the freedom to think this is what we like to wear. And the top French court ruled

against the appeal and they upheld what the government has decided. Now, the ban on our buyer is government Lee governmentally sanctified

reminds me of a verse in the Quran. In the Latina yo hipbone and Tasha Alpha has yet to feel Lavina

la whom Allah when Allah mantra dunya will Pharaoh wala who your Alamo and cumulate Allah moon? Say Allah speaks about people who live a lifestyle that is all about following their own lust and desire. And if somebody does no

Do that, while you read a Latina, Debbie Runa, Shahar, YT and TAMIU is that those who follow their own whims and desires, they don't want anybody else debate to be standing in decency and honor. They want to be part of it. So Allah Subhana Allah says, in the lovely new Buddha and he Alpha Heisha to fillerina. US for those who love to see in decency spread amongst the believers.

Man, why can't you just live and let others live? They were the way that they want to live. No, see, because your lifestyle is a constant reminder that what they're doing is wrong. So what's easier? Why don't you change the way that you're living? Now we want you to join in so what happens? They love to see in decency spread among the believers, Allah promises these people a chastisement in this life as well as in the Hereafter. And then Allah says, Wallah, we are Allah mu, one two mulata Allah moon, and Allah knows, and you know not what does that mean? Allah knows and we know not what is the relevancy here. Some people love to see in decency spread amongst the believers. Allah

promises them chastisement in this life and the hereafter. And then Allah tells us, your Alamo and Camilla to Allah.

Allah will help me I'm Alan Pope, a man called lie a lot of Alameen wa sallahu wa antimalarial and to lotta Allah, because Allah said that these people love to see in decency spread amongst the believers. And the idea of loving, that's something that is in the heart that is not known to people. But Allah subhanaw taala is fully aware of it.

So you look into this and you say, some people would really have a problem with decency, somebody wants to look decent. See, they didn't have a ban on short shorts, or topless backs or low neck lines or none of that was a problem. They were not looking at this when people when these students were walking in, they were looking into hole was most decent. And this was the person that they were reprimanding.

Well, Allah he this is such a sad story. It is such a sad story, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us about there will be a time in the future where people will command of that which is wrong. And they will enjoy people to stop that which is right. Yeah, Morona Bill monka when Hohner Anil mouth, they will command of evil deeds, and they will forbid people from engaging in good behavior.

So two things that we want to emphasize here today. Number one, appreciate our sisters who wear the hijab, in our buyer or in any other form. It takes a lot of courage, a great sense of commitment for people to be full time hijabs and may Allah Subhana Allah reward our sisters best Europa island will light in the past few days. It was so hot, it was so hot. These people are committed to the rabbis. These people are committed to their hijab, but we ask Allah subhanaw taala to reward them immensely or per Island.

Another point which is also important, you cannot exclusively define modesty, just in hijab, that people say oh, are you saying that? You know what? That's all it takes to be modest. Is this what you're really saying? Okay, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught and taught beautifully and taught beyond this. One time the Prophet of Allah, speaking to men, please remember, the Prophet of Allah speaking to men, to the men, he said, is the human Allah to the men. He said, Of course, he's also talking to the sisters through him talking to the men, he's speaking to the community of the believers. But in this incident, he's speaking to the men. So to the men, he said, is the human

Allah, have some higher modesty, be modest in the Presence of Allah subhanho wa taala. So they said, Mr. Heyman, Allahu wa and hamdulillah prophet of Allah, we believe that we are modest, all praises due to Allah. But Allah never use Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam, the human Allaha

be modest of Allah as he ought to be modest of

Minister having allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, failure

or

Oh wow. Well Bottner warmer However, while he has coral mauto will be the woman on the earth Hirata Taraka dunya was meant for others Alika *a. Desta Hammond, Allah salam ala Rasulillah. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is now explaining this much bigger dimension of what it means to be modest. Addressing the mindset, if you are truly modest, then God V head and what it contains your eyes, your tongue, your hearing, be mindful of these organs faculties that Allah Subhana Allah has blessed you be mindful of the head and what it contains, or what it contains one button, our howa and the stomach and what it includes meaning your private parts, meaning what you put in your

tummy in your song said, be mindful of this. Be mindful of this. And then he said, while you're cool mount or villa, and let them engage in the remembrance of death and the trials. Woman, Aurora the era Taraka duniya was in at the hub and whosoever is desirous of the Hereafter, then they surely abandoned this life, and it's adornments

be modest is beautiful, especially in the time that we are living in. It is it is mind boggling. absolutely mind boggling. The way that indecency is promoted nowadays, and how modesty is fought. Not just modesty in clothing. But people are coming out and saying, Man, people have analyzed, they look into movies, they look into novels. And they're concluding, saying, Look, you look into movies, where especially there is an affair going on. And the people in the movies, they are actually rooting and they're cheering for the cheater.

Why do they do this? Because they say that passing on ideas emotionally, is much easier than passing on ideas intellectually. So what do you do? We are going to play on your emotions, to pass on ideas. Because if you get the mind included in this, if you get the mind engaged, you won't be able to pass these ideas. So immediately after telling us about this desert scheme that's going on the Quran immediately comes and tells us Yeah, are you Latina, Armano le W hautbois the shape on woman your photo the shape and if you're in the mobile fascia it will move or you believe do not follow on the footsteps of shaitan if you follow the footsteps of shape on the destiny is that he only commands of

that which is in appropriate and that which is an abomination.

What do you love about the Quran? The Quran speaks is straightforward. So the Quran is very modest book. It's a beautiful book. And we've said this many times. The Quran is a brave book, read by a lot of cowards.

The book itself is very brave. The book is not afraid of telling it like it is some people love in decency. You believers are personally responsible to lower your gaze. God your chastity, believing men and believing women have the responsibility in creating a modest society. This is going to be fought. This is going to be opposed by the French and the macrons in the world. Don't give up and do not follow on the footsteps of shaitan May Allah Subhana Allah grant us modesty. May Allah Subhana Allah grant our children and our families modest, Dr. Pillai Lamine Apolo COVID the harder stuff hula hula confessed of euro in the whole of.

Hamdu lillahi Wa Kafa salat wa salam ala Rasulillah Mustafa, where Allah will be as

they say as, as human beings.

We are initiated into personhood,

by language.

I remember that when we were kids,

or those who brought us up

They will use language that is conducive of our sense of higher. Those who grew up in the Middle East, especially speaking out of it, there was one constant word that we were reminded of Ray, Ray Ray, you will be reminded constantly don't do that. This is a job. A job literally means shameful, inappropriate, or a job, it will diminish your value, it will diminish, do not do anything that would diminish your value. Don't do that do not engage in this. And you can see that from a young age, you're being taught this. This is not bad. This is not bad. that kids are brought up with a strong sense of right and wrong.

A nothing wrong with wanting to use language to help kids discern between right and wrong. There is nothing wrong with that. In the process, we want to use our deen as the criteria, not just the culture, not just the culture. So what happens? He said, use this language, especially in these formative years. We want to teach our children this concept of aid. We just don't do that. Our Deen imagine that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said liquidating holo Warhol upon Islam in higher every day in every way of life has a virtue that they like to boast about. An in our deen, this distinctive virtue is modesty.

Modesty in the way that you tuck modesty in the way that you walk, modesty in your relationships, modesty in what you wear, modesty, we want to be taught. And we want to be reminded of this. So this idea of two things, appreciating our sisters, who are a walking example of what it means to be modest, at least in appearance. If you have a young daughter,

and she chose to wear the hijab, Wallah, you better make sure that you appreciate her. You got to appreciate her. Every time she walks out. Let her know. She looks beautiful. She looks beautiful. She looks modest. She looks dignified. She looks honored. Because this is really what is being a display at this at this point. Because remember this, any behavior that gets rewarded is a behavior that will be repeated.

We will say man up struggled with the hijab. And it is a real struggle. My family doesn't seem to understand. My family doesn't know how hard it is. My family doesn't know the amount of pressure that is on me. My family does not. It can be society outside and the family inside. We want to be supportive of one another Elmo minnow in our minute. Baboom uglier, OVA, believing men, and believing women are allies and supporters of one of one another. Appreciate your wife. She's wearing the hijab, Allah I appreciate because there is a tremendous amount of pressure out there. Appreciate that. Let them know that they've got your support. Let them know that you're aware of their

struggles. Appreciate that. repeat it and repeat it all the time.

And if they're not, then we want to encourage nicely persuasively, that you know what we want people to be engaged in this. Modesty also is something that men have to practice and men have to do. We must engage not only in appreciating it in promoting it, but also in practicing in practicing it. May Allah Subhana Allah grant us modesty. May Allah Subhana Allah guide us to live a modest life Yarrabah Allah, may Allah Subhana Allah make us of those who have truly human Allah, there are in the state of modesty in the Presence of Allah subhanaw taala if any of us or our loved ones are going through difficult times may Allah Subhana Allah ease our pain. If any of us or our loved ones

are not feeling well May Allah grant Allah grant us a full and speedy recovery. Imam Abdul Rahman in Canada is not feeling well. Please do keep him in your prayers and all the believers who are not feeling well. May Allah Subhana Allah grant him and all those who are not feeling well the speed and full recovery. If any of our loved ones have passed away May Allah Subhana Allah bless their souls Yarrabah Allah me

May Allah Subhana Allah protect our families. May Allah subhanaw taala protect our families and our children Yara Bella Alameen Robina Artina dunya Hassan Warfield has an opinion either but not about the law in the law how mobile actually so anyway
