[0:36]donating 20 pounds per food basket you can play a role in

[0:40]ensuring that nobody living in the city of imam al-hussein ever misses

[0:47]an iftar due to poverty contribute today and play a part through

[0:52]our website at www.ihdrf.org or follow us for updates on this campaign

[1:01]for ramadan through our social media may our two masters imam al-hussein

[1:06]and al abbas reward each and every one of you abundantly during

[1:10]this blessed month of shahrukh ramadan as you work to elevate poverty

[1:23]from the great city of karbala [Music] [Music] [Music] last night we

[2:16]discussed male hijab in the quran and tonight we discuss female hijab

[2:22]in the quran we all know very well that the ladies in

[2:24]our community are no doubt the flag bearers of the religion of

[2:30]islam because they are the ones most identified with the religion because

[2:35]of the veil that they wear i don't think any of us

[2:39]can deny that if i walk in the street today in london

[2:40]i could be mistaken for being a muslim or a non-muslim but

[2:45]when my sister walks in the streets in london or my sister

[2:49]walks in the streets anywhere in the world or when our sisters

[2:52]for example are at an airport somewhere or they're at a particular

[2:57]college or a particular university everybody from a mile away can identify

[3:01]them as a muslim and that means that first and foremost there

[3:06]has to be an unbelievable amount of respect from ourselves towards those

[3:13]in the muslim community who have held the flag of the religion

[3:18]of islam our sisters our mothers our daughters nieces etc etc and

[3:25]then did you find that it's not only our religion that has

[3:32]discussed for example a particular type of veil to be worn as

[3:35]a symbol of modesty we know very well that you may find

[3:40]orthodox jews may have at one point or another discuss the importance

[3:47]of a covering as a form of modesty and you may find

[3:49]in christianity until today you may see a nun crossing the street

[3:53]and straight away she's a symbol for christianity but there's no doubt

[3:58]that the symbol that is the hijab as we know it today

[4:04]and i want underlined as we know it today is probably the

[4:11]symbol which is the most controversial politically that until today there are

[4:15]certain countries in the world within their legal systems that ask the

[4:21]question that in a vision for a secularized society should something which

[4:26]is as blatant a symbol of religion as hijab be banned or

[4:32]is it something that should be allowed should we allow ladies who

[4:38]for example are serving us food at a restaurant to wearer veil

[4:41]or a covering or is it that this should not be in

[4:46]the workplace at all there are some countries in europe that until

[4:50]today discuss this until today the hijab the veil the covering the

[4:55]headscarf whatever we want to call it from the time of the

[4:59]prophet peace be upon him and his family until today is a

[5:04]subject of controversy in certain countries i cannot deny that there are

[5:08]certain non-muslim countries who won't bat an eyelid they'll have respect for

[5:12]you irrespective of what you wear which sometimes can be good and

[5:15]sometimes can be bad as well they'll just say to you that

[5:19]listen don't stick it in my face you want to go out

[5:20]clubbing on a friday night and wear as little as you want

[5:22]and you want to cover yourself from head to toe no problem

[5:28]whatsoever so you find in this country for example you could go

[5:29]to your local cafe and sit there and you may find a

[5:34]muslim sister by the name of fatama sitting there and she may

[5:38]be covered from head to toe with an extra covering a covering

[5:42]that we may call the burka for example or the burka the

[5:47]burka or some may refer to it as even the let's say

[5:51]a covering of the face the vodka is even mentioned in jahli

[5:54]poetry so even within the poetry of the days of jahalia there

[5:58]is a mention of the arabs that some of their ladies for

[6:02]example used to even cover their faces and so i may be

[6:07]sitting in a cafe with my friends and i may see a

[6:11]sister who's sitting there and she's covered from head to toe even

[6:13]her whole face is covered and i may see right across her

[6:21]across from sister fatima is sister zainab who's sitting there and she's

[6:25]not covered herself at all because she may come from a school

[6:29]of thought that says that i've seen youtube videos that says or

[6:34]that say that there is nothing on hijab in the quran sometimes

[6:38]you get those arguments that bro show me in the quran where

[6:42]does it say that i have to cover my head and that's

[6:47]why in the muslim world when you as a muslim or as

[6:53]a non-muslim talk about a muslim a muslim can be religious not

[6:58]religious cultural traditional learned not so learned developing into religiosity not interested

[7:05]in religiosity muslim because of mom and dad muslim because of reading

[7:09]and so therefore when i'm looking at this i may find that

[7:14]the development of the discussion of the veil in islam on the

[7:22]one hand becomes more important because of the doubts that are raised

[7:25]as to whether you should wear or you shouldn't on the other

[7:29]hand because as a father or mother who may be watching this

[7:32]they may have in their families a young girl and she's coming

[7:36]towards the age of adolescence and we know when you come towards

[7:39]the age of adolescence or you come towards the age of suddenly

[7:43]things change suddenly responsibilities begin for you as a muslim now one

[7:51]thing i've always noticed in my years growing up i don't think

[7:58]if you had asked me explain to me the headscarf or the

[8:02]veil from the quran i don't think i was able to certainly

[8:06]not with the knowledge that i have alhamdulillah today but i think

[8:12]many muslims if you actually sat with them and say listen you've

[8:13]got this quran you all admire it it's 114 chapters explain to

[8:18]me from there why my sister should cover her head i don't

[8:25]think many muslims including scholars have necessarily explained the evolution of what

[8:38]we know today underline what we know today of hijab i think

[8:44]the way hijab was introduced to many of us was two black

[8:48]and white without any shades of grey to black and white islam

[8:56]says you have to wear hijab and there's absolutely no doubt about

[9:00]that whatsoever there's only two chapters i would argue in tonight's session

[9:06]that discuss what we know today as hijab i think i've repeated

[9:13]in the first 10 minutes of this discussion what we know today

[9:18]because there are many different words that the arabs would use in

[9:25]relation to covering for example is the word that was used by

[9:31]sayada zainab salam in front of yazid because yazid what did he

[9:39]do the sitter the covering of al-muhammad he attacked it she doesn't

[9:44]say hetek that you are the one who has attacked the sitter

[9:52]so sitter is a word for covering the arab used to have

[9:58]this word as well called was a form of head covering that's

[10:01]another word for what we call today as hijab hour many of

[10:08]us use that in discussions that's something else even a melhafer one

[10:13]may argue you know you have la half iraq is well no

[10:17]la have you may have for example i don't know a duvet

[10:21]cover or something or something like a shawl that you can cover

[10:25]with and you have this term hijab i don't believe that we

[10:29]have discussed the evolution of the veil and we've made it so

[10:34]black and white that there are no spaces for discussing the different

[10:41]points in which the early muslim community transport yourself back because this

[10:45]book is 1400 years ago so i want us to transport us

[10:48]cells back the first ayah of the quran did it say read

[10:58]in the name of your lord who created where hijab now can

[11:04]anyone tell me that in the first verses in mecca when the

[11:08]prophet was 40 years of age did a verse come down there

[11:13]and then about hijab no can you tell me exactly that these

[11:20]ladies living when the quran was revealed were wearing amazing what we

[11:26]call abaya or chad or hijab like we have today can you

[11:33]tell me that all the arab ladies were wearing amazing hijabs at

[11:35]that time when the quran was revealed listen we're talking a very

[11:41]jahili society and these guys were very physically active in some cases

[11:44]promiscuous moving from partners or having at least a number of ladies

[11:51]around them merrymaking and enjoying can you tell me exactly how they're

[11:55]covering looked like when the quran was revealed is there any mention

[12:04]of the veil or the head scarf when sora for example alaka's

[12:08]revealed no if i was to tell you show me any ayah

[12:19]and those which tell me how to cover would you show me

[12:24]any of those earlier sawar no because the main two chapters that

[12:27]discuss hijab as we know it today or the way that you

[12:37]interact in the world view of modesty in islam both socially and

[12:44]physically are either or sorry either are not revealed until at least

[12:57]at least at least i'd say 19 years after islam begun the

[13:07]surahs that discuss hijab are revealed 19 years after islam begun i

[13:23]think the first point we all need to get is god wasn't

[13:26]walking around with an iron rod at the beginning of islam telling

[13:28]his prophet if a lady has one hair sticking out go kill

[13:35]her nor was god saying that someone cannot develop into wearing the

[13:38]right type of covering my prophet didn't discuss it until 19 years

[13:43]in there are many who assume that the islamic legal system was

[13:49]all set in stone right at the beginning of when the religion

[13:51]was revealed then how's this book revealed the book is revealed step

[13:54]by step do you agree the verses are revealed step by step

[13:57]and so therefore when i'm looking at the female hijab in the

[14:03]quran as we know it today as hijab our terminologies sometimes are

[14:07]the ones that cause us problems we need to understand that the

[14:14]main discussions concerning it becoming shadowy legal and the main discussions concerning

[14:28]not doing it becoming a massive all seem to come to us

[14:35]19 years after islam was announced there was no ayah as soon

[14:41]as islam was revealed saying now every lady in arabia has to

[14:45]wear an abba yeah they certainly weren't wearing abayas you want to

[14:50]see cleavage you can go there cleavage i'm saying that they're wearing

[14:56]low-cut tops in some cases very light material yes there are families

[15:06]who may have come from particular levels of modesty because sometimes you

[15:10]don't need religion to have a family of class and what they

[15:13]wear i can find a non-muslim family in the world who don't

[15:15]know anything about hijab don't know anything about these things but their

[15:20]daughters dress with a real respect when you're at university didn't you

[15:24]meet some ladies or some of the sisters at university a sister

[15:28]who goes to the mosque may not have as good hijab as

[15:32]a lady who's not even a muslim therefore the discussion of the

[15:41]females hijab in the quran we're talking 19 years in how old

[15:47]would rasulullah have been 19 years after he announced this prophet how

[15:53]old you are 59 ascent he'd be 59.

[15:57]my lord why does it take you so long to talk about

[16:02]this you could have mentioned it even earlier and what's interesting when

[16:14]we look at the verses my dear brothers and sisters who are

[16:17]watching at home let's go straight to the verses which are discussing

[16:21]the different varieties of what we call today hijab because i don't

[16:27]think at that time when god's speaking to that community in medina

[16:31]i don't think everybody's going around saying you're not wearing proper hijab

[16:35]do you get me i don't think you know you're going around

[16:37]and you're saying to people you're not wearing hijab because even the

[16:40]words which are being used to discuss it we still haven't got

[16:44]to a stage where we're set in stone hijab hijab comes later

[16:49]but the word hijab is mentioned in the quran but the word

[16:51]hijab being mentioned the quran on most occasions has nothing to do

[16:55]with covering your head at all actually when god begins talking about

[17:01]modesty how does he begin by talking about modesty first talking to

[17:06]the wives of rasulallah because if the wives of the man who's

[17:11]bought this religion themselves aren't covered properly then how do i expect

[17:14]the community to be covered properly go to surah 33 all of

[17:21]us please surah 33 verse number 32 bismillah rahman rahim everybody at

[17:28]home surah 33 verse 32 o wives of the prophets you are

[17:39]not like any other wives if you stop there that means there's

[17:45]no one greater than the wives of rasula if i stop there

[17:51]that means that there is no one like the wives of rasulallah

[17:54]except if i stop there if i stop there that means there's

[17:59]none like them if i continue if you have takwa otherwise you're

[18:05]like any other ladies you're a lady she's a lady at the

[18:09]end of the day if you don't have taqwa you don't have

[18:11]consciousness of allah what did we say yesterday we said was the

[18:14]best ever form of hijab didn't we say that last night the

[18:19]garment that's called taqwa god consciousness oh wives of the prophet first

[18:46]let's address the man whose family is around him let's see how

[18:49]they are in the way their hijab is but not the covering

[18:52]of the head we're still not there at the beginning we're talking

[18:57]about the way they interact with each other because 50 of female

[19:00]hijab in the quran is social if i'm someone who's covered from

[19:06]head to toe and i'm flirtatious with somebody else for example or

[19:12]i'm soft in my speech depending who i'm talking to then that

[19:18]doesn't con become the hijab that the quran was looking for our

[19:23]wives of the prophets because the one who in their heart is

[19:37]a disease which is 99.9 percent of the one in whose heart

[19:40]there is a disease is going to be affected you see if

[19:43]a lady goes to my good luck schlonnik so hamlet so i'll

[19:53]be like yeah yeah i'm cool yeah and she says and she

[20:01]could still say habib albiquifect like that but she could also soften

[20:03]her speech and the way she says it and i see all

[20:10]of you who are fasting suddenly woke up and i'm a guy

[20:12]with a deep ugly voice who's saying it i said habib i've

[20:18]got four five guys in front of me suddenly woke up now

[20:22]you transfer remove someone like me and get someone good looking over

[20:29]here and who sits and speaks with a soft voice and says

[20:33]to you happy birthday at that moment even the guys at the

[20:38]back will say allah i am please forgive me.

[20:42]the quran said what hijab isn't just to be limited to covering

[20:47]because you could be covered from head to toe but here the

[20:51]one with whose heart there's a disease 99 of men they will

[20:54]be affected by this straight away then next verse the next verse

[20:58]all of us normally recite it especially i love the next verse

[21:02]but shia when we recite the next verse we normally don't realize

[21:05]something that the next verse in nama you read allah begins and

[21:11]it's in the middle of the ayah the beginning of the ayah

[21:15]says what wakarna verse 33 of stay in your houses or wives

[21:25]of the prophet and don't display your finery like you displayed in

[21:27]the days of like the display of the ignorance or the days

[21:33]of the ignorance the wives of the prophet are being told that

[21:41]number one because you're the wives of the prophet peace be upon

[21:47]family there is an extra focus on your hijab the way you

[21:49]talk with men in the community now you are the first example

[21:54]we're gonna address before we address the other sisters first don't be

[22:02]soft in your speech second and do not display what don't have

[22:07]tabarraj maybe in the days of ignorance your faces were full of

[22:11]makeup you used to go out maybe your finer necklaces and rings

[22:17]and bracelets and everything was showing that tabarraj ends now so here

[22:23]we're introduced to the wives of the prophet being the example for

[22:29]how modesty is to be built up and then the wives of

[22:32]the prophet alongside the believing ladies are introduced to a form of

[22:38]covering 19 years in by the way a form of covering which

[22:40]is to go a bit further than what the arab ladies were

[22:43]wearing at the time so let's say you're an arab lady at

[22:48]the time and you're wearing a piece of cloth like many muslim

[22:50]ladies are wearing a piece of cloth at the time so if

[22:52]i was to describe to you how the arab lady is dressed

[22:57]at the time they're covering their head their ears are showing and

[23:09]the neck this area here which we will call it the jube

[23:17]okay the chest cavity area okay this area here between the chest

[23:22]and the neck the arab ladies that was all showing that showing

[23:30]is showing but are they covering their hair yes they've got like

[23:34]a bandana on their hair so could you see their hair no

[23:38]i don't think so the slave girls living in medina at the

[23:47]time their hair was showing you know in that system i've got

[23:51]one of my discussions coming up about the slaves in the quran

[23:56]there was a distinction made between if you were born free or

[24:01]if you were born a slave we cannot deny that listen i

[24:04]wish i can deny certain things that were present when rasulullah had

[24:09]emerged but there's no denying slavery was there like slavery was in

[24:12]america 100 years ago it's there okay the slave arab her hair

[24:19]is all showing her hair's all out the free arab the head

[24:25]is covered but the air is showing and the neck up until

[24:30]the cleavage area is all showing what would happen would be that

[24:43]the methylene what they used to wear was one piece of clothing

[24:46]that one piece of clothing if it's light what will the wind

[24:50]do if i'm walking and the wind blows that light piece of

[24:57]metal and dish dash a jellybean or whatever you want to wear

[25:00]what would happen it would blow away and then the shape would

[25:05]be clearly showing of that lady but for those ladies at the

[25:09]time many of them felt that they were quite modest because they're

[25:11]not letting their hair out as such it's covered and they inherited

[25:16]this maybe they inherited from the northeast arabians or from this you

[25:19]know the southern side of iraq even they they inherited a certain

[25:21]custom of how they would dress and that head covering they would

[25:27]have what did i say the head covering was called just the

[25:29]head covering what's it called kemar make sure you note that down

[25:35]head covering for the arabs just covering the head was known as

[25:40]kremar is showing cleavage area open the quran had to recognize this

[25:57]but still wanted to insist to the wives of the prophet that

[26:00]before we have an overhaul of this way that you're dressing where

[26:07]there needs to be a bit of a change a bit of

[26:10]a development still one more thing don't take it too easy with

[26:15]people when you talk to them make sure there's a hijab between

[26:20]you and them we're still talking to the wives of the prophet

[26:22]we haven't yet talked to all the believers in the same surah

[26:27]if you go to verse number 53 same surah verse number 53

[26:31]of the same surah it's his wedding and he's getting married to

[26:40]a lady by the name of zainab the daughter of josh who

[26:50]believe don't enter the houses of the prophet unless it's permitted for

[26:55]you for a meal without waiting for the cooking to be finished

[27:00]well i can either do it if you're invited in if however

[27:11]you are allowed in then eat the food and then after that

[27:15]don't be alaska munch get out i beg you don't be alaska

[27:22]because some of these illustrations got married and it could happen on

[27:28]your wedding day you're just like guys you can all go home

[27:32]now i want to chill now lazga you know the elite with

[27:41]the arrow the chewing gum spearmint there used to be some people

[27:44]unbelievable and even from the time of rasulullah why the arab was

[27:50]a lesbian he won't let go of you the quran had to

[27:52]come in and said hey hold on hold on hold on you've

[27:55]eaten now go home why because it's too polite to just tell

[28:00]you guys get out true it's too soft-hearted what you used to

[28:10]do used to hurt the prophet peace be upon him and his

[28:13]family the prophet was shy to tell you allah is just going

[28:22]to say to you now you can go out then this is

[28:28]the ayahuasca if someone's looking for hijab in the quran as head

[28:46]covering no if you're looking for the original meaning of hijab as

[28:51]a barrier physical social aklafi then it's here that you don't just

[28:57]talk to the wives of rasulullah like that there has to be

[29:00]a veil covering between you and them we agree on this the

[29:04]prophet then having explained that hijab is about the way you talk

[29:09]to someone about your akhlaq about when you go to someone's house

[29:12]you don't just sit there you know what ladies come and sit

[29:15]guys come and say let's all eat food together there has to

[29:17]be a certain amount of respect in the way people talk to

[29:20]each other and so on so forth a few verses later allah

[29:24]said now the physical part we begin discussing because it's all well

[29:28]and good you having good akhlaq and a good heart but if

[29:31]everybody is able to see your finer parts those whose hearts have

[29:36]a disease the men that we mentioned last night then they're going

[29:39]to be affected by this so in verse 59 what happened in

[29:43]verse 59 of the same surah you see the difference in the

[29:50]way female hijab we discuss it's the quran and how we normally

[29:53]hear it in mosques in mosques you never hear about the development

[29:55]normally in mosul say hijab if you don't you'll burn in hell

[30:01]yeah oh prophet of god say to your wives only your wives

[30:07]now now we begin talking to the community and to your daughters

[30:17]and the daughters and who and the woman of the believers let

[30:27]them do what let them put on them an outer garment which

[30:32]are we introduced to here ladies used to cover their head but

[30:37]their ears used to show and what else used to show here

[30:43]there's an instruction now wear another garment another form of clothing a

[30:49]form of clothing that maybe starts from here all the way down

[30:52]you know sometimes there are ladies they wear abaya abaya can be

[30:56]worn like this or you could put it from here and it

[31:01]covers ajilbab is a garment that is worn on top of what

[31:06]you're already wearing today if i go to the gulf states i

[31:10]see them wearing abaya are they wearing anything under that haba yes

[31:13]you might wear a t-shirt and jeans under the abaya you might

[31:17]wear for example whatever under the tab but the abaya is what

[31:20]this verse was trying to talk about that it's not sufficient to

[31:26]only wear one garment let's say a top and jeans in some

[31:31]countries because maybe here in arabia in arabia maybe that was not

[31:38]sufficient maybe in other countries you might find that that is sufficient

[31:41]but the biggest problem with that is if the weather changes something

[31:46]gets blown away someone can see the shape of the body and

[31:49]so on so what was introduced ajilbab i must also say that

[31:52]part of the revelation of this verse was because the slave girls

[31:55]what did i say the slave girls were they wearing hijab or

[32:00]not no so if you want arabian lady and you weren't necessarily

[32:02]covered up properly they would sometimes see you as a slave girl

[32:05]if you were a slave girl you weren't covered up it was

[32:08]easy for the men to come and chirps you for the men

[32:11]to come and harass you why she's a slave who's her master

[32:14]who's her brothers nobody they're not powerful because you know if you

[32:17]want to go and talk to a girl and you know she's

[32:19]got brothers who are going to come after you you're not going

[32:20]to go talk to that girl but when you realize that she's

[32:24]got nobody you find it a bit easier in that time if

[32:27]they saw a lady not covered up properly what would they assume

[32:30]sometimes she must be like the slave girl so i'm gonna go

[32:33]and chirps her up i'm gonna go and harass her so the

[32:35]quran came and said that do this because a it differentiates you

[32:39]from the slave girls it is better for them so that they

[32:50]are not what ultimately hijab wasn't about sex or about physical desire

[32:54]but rather the dignity of the person this will ensure because you're

[32:58]wearing a number of gums not everybody can necessarily see the way

[33:02]your body is shaped we saw for example campaigns a few years

[33:05]ago in certain parts of the world where ladies to get job

[33:09]roles or in certain films were harassed there was a campaign that

[33:14]at work ladies in high positions were constantly harassed because they were

[33:20]a female they were harassed because they were a female and that

[33:26]the men couldn't think of anything else except physical desires in relation

[33:31]to that lady it's as if fourteen hundred years ago islam has

[33:35]already discussed this by saying you know what we're a jilbab meaning

[33:37]that you could go to work and you could wear a t-shirt

[33:41]and jeans you could go to work and wear this really smart

[33:43]shoe and small smart trousers you could go to work and look

[33:48]very fashionable just wear an outer garment on top of that because

[33:52]even sometimes if you're working you can still be working as a

[33:55]lady in a very high position with the highest respect but you

[33:58]know sometimes you may be in positions whether we like or not

[34:02]you're going down to pick up a file the guy can see

[34:04]you if he sees you and you're not wearing much you're bending

[34:06]down to pick up a file everyone can see your cleavage you're

[34:10]bending down the other way guys are looking from behind the quran

[34:13]had mentioned men have hearts with diseases in many cases so we're

[34:17]trying to cover not just society we're protecting you as well you

[34:25]don't want someone to be hurt you want that person protected i

[34:29]don't want to work from nine to five and have every guy

[34:33]literally just staring at me there are some people believe you me

[34:36]it's not you don't have to be some supermodel looking lady to

[34:40]be harassed at work because not every guy is a supermodel looking

[34:43]guy there are guys who have frustrations and they have their desires

[34:47]and so on we addressed them last night because they are part

[34:51]of the problem that you can't just talk about the females hijab

[34:54]if the male hydra is not being observed but it's not helping

[34:56]if you're walking into work and you're unfortunately some of what may

[35:02]be worn even if that person is a respectful modest person with

[35:06]the animals that are out there those animals they'll take advantage of

[35:10]this and so the quran tried to react by saying that wear

[35:15]an outer garment we still have a problem what if i wear

[35:19]an outer garment but my neck area is still showing my area

[35:24]for my neck and my my area for my ears my neck

[35:28]all this area showing and who else can see me actually and

[35:34]is there limits on who can see me these were questions that

[35:38]had to be posed where were they addressed surah 24 of the

[35:40]quran let's all go to surah 24 and surah 24 of the

[35:44]quran from about yesterday what did we say we said allah subhanahu

[35:47]wa ta'ala first addresses the hijab i ask you yasir allah subhanahu

[35:52]wa ta'ala addressed the hijab of woman first or the hijab of

[35:56]men first men accent the hijab of men was first discussed surah

[36:01]24 30.

[36:07]say to the men to lower from their gaze firstly the men

[36:12]hijab then after that verse 31 is the verse that discusses what

[36:18]that discusses what we know today as female hijab you know something

[36:27]very interesting i sin something very interesting is that verse 30 says

[36:34]includes females as well you can argue what allah is stressing that

[36:41]this message also has to be passed because both of you have

[36:44]to do this in tandem with each other not just men who

[36:51]have to lower from their gaze yeah i know that a lot

[36:54]the men in many cases are the ones who are staring but

[36:56]we cannot deny that it can be the other way around as

[37:00]well it takes two to tango sometimes the girl also has to

[37:01]have had to look at you as well and the same way

[37:05]yesterday we said lower the gaze doesn't mean i look down lower

[37:08]means make it softer don't stare at someone like a perv make

[37:11]it a bit softer you can look at someone there's no harm

[37:15]looking at someone but don't make it something where it shows you

[37:18]have a disease in your heart would you like another guy to

[37:23]look at your own sister like that means also that there may

[37:31]be certain things that you may say the aura of the man

[37:34]is that the man from the belly button to just below for

[37:38]example the naval area that area has to be covered let's say

[37:41]what if for example i'm looking at men doing lotum they're doing

[37:49]matam as a female am i allowed to be looking at them

[37:52]bare-chested sweating bleeding again here the quran is saying tell the believing

[37:59]woman to lower from their gaze if the man isn't allowed to

[38:03]see a scene from a film where a lady is taking off

[38:07]her clothing for example then likewise a female if she's looking at

[38:11]things like this you may say but i'm not looking at it

[38:13]for the wrong reason but you could be tempted if you're standing

[38:17]there in a crowd looking at a group of men with their

[38:19]tops off that's why some mosques will not have la tom with

[38:24]men taking their tops off because there may be ladies at the

[38:27]back and can i as for example if there's a lady who

[38:32]says you know just wait for the scene when he takes this

[38:34]top off just look how buff he looks isn't that just you

[38:43]cover your hair because mommy is going to kill you if you

[38:44]reveal your hair or the community will look down at you no

[38:48]there is also the hijab of the eyes same way that the

[38:58]men have to guard their private parts the female has to guard

[39:00]her private parts as well at the end of the day adultery

[39:06]or fornication is something that can affect the males and it can

[39:10]affect the females then we begin well i what do we normally

[39:23]describe or translate zena as what is zena normally if you put

[39:27]zina in a what have you done to that masjid decoration beautification

[39:32]do you agree so if i put xena in a masjid or

[39:36]i put xena in my house what does it mean if i

[39:40]put xena all over my house i've beautified the house i've decorated

[39:44]the house and he continues and for them to cover their areas

[40:03]of beautification except that is where that which is customary or a

[40:11]customary practice what does that mean this has been the subject of

[40:15]huge debates many believe that you have to cover in female hijab

[40:23]you cover all the areas of beautification except the face and the

[40:31]hands because the face and the hands are seen as the customary

[40:33]areas which are not covered but everything else of beautification has to

[40:41]be covered some ulama like ayatollah believed that even the face had

[40:46]to be covered and to the extent that they say that was

[40:52]of the opinion that if you believe your wife has a certain

[40:56]level of beauty that will bring too much attention then she has

[41:00]to cover her face as well now a bit of a catch-22

[41:05]of that opinion because my wife will probably be looking at me

[41:08]and thinking hold on a minute if you believe your wife is

[41:15]at that level of beauty a bit more than normal that she

[41:17]has to cover her face your wife will be looking at you

[41:22]so do you think i have to cover my face on the

[41:25]one hand you're thinking if i say no then she's gonna be

[41:28]thinking don't you think i'm that beautiful and if i say yes

[41:30]you might say well why why do you tell me you want

[41:34]me to cover my face i've seen maybe seven eight o lamar

[41:39]in history who believed that covering the face was to be taken

[41:46]from this eye and i'm gonna come to that part a bit

[41:49]later in the ayah majority of allah believe that the ayah is

[41:54]saying is that you cover the areas which are beautifying you except

[42:00]the face on the hands question what if i've got eyelash extensions

[42:04]so the face is allowed to be shown you know late our

[42:07]moms normally you see them wearing hijab but their faces are showing

[42:09]do you agree but you get those eyelash extension things that's beautification

[42:15]do you agree but the face is allowed to be shown where

[42:18]if i put makeup on the face but the face is allowed

[42:21]to be shown the face is allowed to be shown but that

[42:22]xena if it's placed on the face then there's a problem that's

[42:27]why many ladies in our community for example in the iraqi community

[42:31]i think we had a very good level of this particular part

[42:36]of the ayahuasa that many of them when they would go to

[42:45]weddings your face is covered in makeup you may even have done

[42:48]your eyelashes you may even have put you know different forms of

[42:52]makeup many of them will cover or wear a bushy or something

[42:53]as they're entering the wedding hall and as they leave the wedding

[42:59]hall and whatever you want to call it why because they recognize

[43:04]a question most people who attack hijab most of them their only

[43:09]conception is there's no word hijab in the quran then all these

[43:12]discussions about zina and all these discussions about what are all these

[43:16]discussions they're just random discussions yeah and surely these discussions have a

[43:19]significance for us as well so therefore if your wife wants to

[43:24]go to a wedding and we know that everybody in a wedding

[43:26]is glammed up even person like me can look good in a

[43:30]wedding everybody is glammed up in a wedding so when everybody is

[43:35]glammed up in a wedding that is the moment where a person

[43:38]may may have to employ certain other forms of covering because why

[43:44]because the quran says someone says i see some ladies don't care

[43:54]forget wedding they're wearing makeup wherever they go out we know that

[43:59]for us the traditions you may find for example i'm not gonna

[44:03]say never has makeup being allowed nor am i gonna say that

[44:08]someone is completely full of makeup there may be some people who

[44:12]have blemishes on their face which may need to be covered there

[44:14]may be certain traditions that may talk of cochon for example or

[44:16]other things that one may put on their eyes for example but

[44:21]all in all it is generally seen that if this is a

[44:25]form of xena of course there may be other forms of xena

[44:28]that someone is is making apparent yep but we still have a

[44:33]problem here forget makeup you show me a lady who her cleavage

[44:37]area showing i'm still going to be attracted in all honesty and

[44:40]that's what the quran went on to address what did we say

[44:50]the hemar was who could tell me head covering so in terms

[44:54]of someone says to you show me hijab in the quran say

[44:58]bro you go wrong the arabs and head covering used to call

[45:00]it not hijab you want me to show you someone says bro

[45:05]why would you call it in the quran i'd say around surah

[45:16]2 verse 2 9 0.

[45:18]surah 2 verse 2 9 0 of the quran you'll find the

[45:23]verse that many of us i think can relate to my dear

[45:26]brothers and sisters hold on all right no sort of 2 verse

[45:28]2 1 9 sorry why did i say 2 9 0.

[45:31]sort of two verse two one nine because for a second hold

[45:33]on a minute if it's bakara it cannot be two nine zero

[45:37]so sora two verse two hundred and nineteen um menhal can you

[45:44]read it for me please yes surah 2 verse 219 intoxicant which

[45:56]we call today alcohol do you agree go back go back go

[46:02]back to slaughter 33 uh to soda 24 verse number 31 go

[46:06]back what did we say head covering was called kemar what's alcohol

[46:09]hammer what's head covering what's alcohol what's head covering what's alcohol what

[46:17]are we doing here not only joking alcohol hammer head covering you're

[46:25]looking for a video on youtube saying show me hijab in the

[46:28]quran you've got the wrong video you've got to be saying show

[46:31]me him because the arab's head coverage was called is called alcohol

[46:37]today or why do why is it known as an intoxicant what

[46:43]does alcohol do to your head i want it i want you

[46:47]to say it literally as per my interpretation of literally what does

[46:51]alcohol do to someone's head literally literally has the same definition as

[46:57]khimar covers your head bro you know i can't see properly man

[47:03]covers my head what means my rational reasoning suddenly gets blocked my

[47:09]signals and my senses are all over the place bro i'm drunk

[47:16]man i don't even know the way home who are better across

[47:21]the road his house is across the road bro i don't know

[47:23]where i am head is covered head is foggy head is clouded

[47:28]allah what did he say allah said well was the chest cavity

[47:47]don't you agree let them draw their veil over their chest and

[48:02]for them not to display their beautifying features [Music] except to their

[48:13]husbands yep we agree can a lady show her beautiful areas to

[48:16]her husband yes can a lady show her beautiful areas or her

[48:24]adornment to her father yes to the in-laws can you show yeah

[48:43]let's say the area where there has to be a covering let's

[48:50]say is from below the chest to the knees that means even

[48:55]the question of a bikini in front of your sons islam has

[48:58]an issue with bikini in the sense that this area of privacy

[49:05]you're just saying that well that's my son we have certain criteria

[49:09]but we're just going swimming together that's criteria okay so you have

[49:21]here who the sons of their husbands they say step children aloud

[49:25]oh they're brothers allowed yep oh beni iranian oh your nephews and

[49:31]nieces allowed yep they're allowed to see you without omar meliket or

[49:41]their slaves they're allowed to see them oh for example who let's

[49:52]say there might be a eunuch who doesn't really have any feelings

[49:56]from the men as castrated or whatever what is uh or the

[50:06]younger kids not the ones who've reached the age of a kid

[50:12]who's bailey okay in some cases you have to watch what you're

[50:17]wearing those who don't have any of these feelings you may be

[50:22]a bit more free with so if we differentiate what we said

[50:24]earlier that if i'm going to wear a swimsuit the difference between

[50:29]my two-year-old and my 15 year old finna tahina and let them

[50:42]not watch strike their feet in walking that's what they hide of

[50:45]their adornments gets apparent sometimes the the ladies might wear things which

[50:52]are high heels heels there's many ladies love this high heels but

[50:58]the quran has discussed the heels and discussed even anklets you might

[51:01]wear a bracelet on your ankle the quran discusses a thousand four

[51:05]hundred years ago because you could be walking and there is a

[51:10]lady walking you don't have anything but if you had click like

[51:13]you turn around just have a look you know there's someone walking

[51:17]there what's interesting is that the quran says that even things around

[51:21]your ankle even high heel shoes even those things the very fact

[51:27]that a person can turn towards them is not what they see

[51:32]of what's making the noise rather it is what your fina that

[51:39]that gives them a hint of what they may not be showing

[51:45]i may look at that noise or look at that movement and

[51:48]it may open a world to me of what they're not showing

[51:51]it draws more attention to me more attraction there could be a

[51:55]lady covering her face tick covering her hair tick but if she's

[51:57]moving around and she is making that noise when she's moving around

[52:01]there could be a possibility that even without seeing her i still

[52:05]have a feeling inside for what may be under that covering therefore

[52:12]the main verse discussing the physical was what was this one the

[52:17]others discuss the social what do we have in terms now one

[52:22]of the terms is head covering one of the terms for outer

[52:27]covering was what jilbab add them together what you get the barrier

[52:30]that's known as physical and social hijab therefore is there anyone exempt

[52:36]from wearing hijab in our communities yes if a lady is about

[52:40]70 80 verse number 60 of the same sorrow same sorry just

[52:44]go to verse number 60 and we'll conclude with this verse number

[52:48]61 60 yes it gives you this impression of your grandma who's

[52:54]like just not moving sometimes our grandma's reaching age where it's like

[52:57]grant are you ever going to get up it's just sitting at

[53:02]home now the poor grandma is old or poor grandma's just not

[53:04]bothered to get up because she's got so many grandchildren around you

[53:06]bring me tea you bring me high you bring me this so

[53:11]the quran made it very vivid well sisters maybe our moms or

[53:18]grandmas when they reach about 70 or 80 is hijab the way

[53:22]it's worn you know for example with the jilbab that watch upon

[53:26]them not necessarily sometimes you'll see your gran maybe hijab goes back

[53:32]a little bit you know she's reached an age which is what

[53:34]the quran says they've passed the age of childbearing and they don't

[53:38]hope for marriage anymore you just talk to your grandma she's like

[53:41]i've spent too much time with your granddad don't give me another

[53:44]headache please in some cases when they get to that age 70

[53:48]80 whatever then the quran said that for these it's a different

[53:52]story yes they may still wear something which covers them a garment

[53:56]so therefore my dear brothers sisters when we look at all of

[54:01]these we see the evolution of hijab i still think there are

[54:02]many nuances in the discussion especially if you go in the world

[54:05]of fick you'll see in the sections of prayer the sections of

[54:09]marriage there are still interesting hadiths there about the nuances involved but

[54:13]all in all it's sufficient within ahzaab and sufficient within nor that

[54:17]you'll see more than enough that guides us how to physically and

[54:22]socially remain modest without being judgmental of everyone's development in sha allah

[54:26]and hopefully in this month of ramadan for the sisters and the

[54:28]brothers at home we could take it as a resolution to work

[54:33]on our hijab we'll see you all tomorrow insha'allah [Music] [Music] hey
