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