00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			Islam has the solution
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			for injustice.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			Allah says in Surah Nisa chapter 4135
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			that, yeah, I live in Amunu. Oh, you
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			believe, stand not for justice.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			As witness to Allah
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			even if it'll be against yourself,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			against your parents, against your relatives, whether rich
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			or poor. When you're doing justice, don't look
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			at him whether he's your friend, either your
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			mother or a father or your relative or
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			rich or poor.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			As Abu Lai Prophet Muhammad
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			said, By Allah,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			if my daughter Fatima robs, I will chop
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			off her hand.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			This is justice.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			Justice.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			Islam has the solution for alcoholism and drug
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			addiction. Allah says in Surah Mahindra chapter 5,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			verse number 90,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			Oh, you believe most certainly in toxic and
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			gambling.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			Dedication of stone, divination of arrows, reached to
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			minimally shaitan. These are settled handiwork.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			Abstain from this handiwork that you may prosper.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			In Islam,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			alcoholism,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			drug addiction. It is prohibited.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			You know, every year according to who,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			more than 4,000,000 people die only because of
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			alcoholism.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			America,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			a few decades earlier,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			they tried to ban alcohol
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			knowing it's very bad
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			for health. When they tried, the government collapsed.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			There was bootlegging,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			there was illegal alcohol and the government collapsed.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			They again got back alcohol.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			1400 years ago,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			our beloved prophet, Muhammad,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			when he recited the verse of the Quran,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			Oh, you believe, most certainly intoxic
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			dedication of stone, divination of arrows. These
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			are settled.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Abstain from this handiwork that you may prosper.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Just because the prophet recited the verse of
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:03
			the Quran,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:04
			barrels
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			of alcohol were emptied in Madinah, never to
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			be filled again. What America with all its
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			power could not do for many years, a
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			prophet did with just one word. One verse
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			of the Quran, he recited, and the barrels
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			of alcohol were emptied in Badinah, never to
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			be filled again.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			Quran
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			has the solution
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			to the problem of fornication,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			of adultery, of prostitution.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			Allah says in the Quran in Surah Isra
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			chapter 17 verse 32, Come not close to
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			adultery, for it's an evil opening other roads
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			to evil.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Come not close to adultery, don't do adult
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			things different. Come not close to adultery,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			because it's an evil opening, other roads to
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			evil.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			Quran has the solution
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			to the problem of *,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			of immodesty,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			of obscenity.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			Islam and Quran and Hadith,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			they prescribed hijab.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			Allah says in the Quran in Surin Noor
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			chapter 20 verse number 30, it first speaks
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			about hijab for the man.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			Oh, you believe,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			lower your gaze
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			and protect your modesty.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			Whenever a man looks at a woman and
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			any breath and thought comes in his mind,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			you should lower his gaze.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			That is hijab for the man.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			And for the woman, the next verse Surin,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			chapter 24 verse 31, say to the being
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			woman, she should lower again than guard her
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			modesty and display on the beauty except what
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			appears ordinary of. There are basically 6 criteria
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			for hijab given in the Quran and the
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Hadith. Number 1 is the extent. For the
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			man, it's from the navel to the knee.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			For the woman, the complete body should be
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			covered. The only parts that can be seen
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			are the face and hands up to the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			wrist. Some say that even the face should
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			be covered.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			The remaining five criteria are the same for
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			the man and the woman. The clothes they
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			wear should not be tight fitting so that
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			it reveals the figure. Number 3, it should
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			not be translucent or transparent
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			so that you can see through the clothes.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			Number 4, it should not be so glamorous
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			so that it attracts the opposite *. Number
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			5, it should not resemble that of the
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			opposite *, and number 6, it should not
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			resemble that of the unbelievers.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			These are the 6 criteria for hijab.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			And people ask me that, Why hijab should
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			be done? I tell them that if
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			there are twin sisters
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			who are very beautiful, equally beautiful, if they
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			are walking down
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			the streets of Sokoto,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			and if
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			1 sister, 1 lady,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			she is wearing a complete hijab, Islamic hijab,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			complete body covered, only part seen is face
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			and hands up to the wrist. And the
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			second twin sister, she's a westerner
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			wearing mini skirts or shorts with a low
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			neck. And as they're walking down the streets
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			of New York or Sokoto, and around the
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			corner there is a hooligan who's waiting for
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			a catch to tee the girl. Which girl
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			will it tease? Will it tease the girl
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			wearing the Islamic hijab, or will it tease
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			the girl wearing the western clothes mini skirts
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			and shorts?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			Which girl will it tease?
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			Which girl?
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			Many skirts, correct.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			Simple question, simple answer.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			Allah says in Surah Al Azza, chapter 33,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			verse 59, O Prophet, tell your wives and
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			your daughters and the believing women, when they
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			go abroad, they should put on the cloak
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			so that they shall be recognized.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			So hijab has been prescribed
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			to prevent the woman from being molested to
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			protect them.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			So Quran has the solution for obscenity, for
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			ease teasing, for *.
