[0:00][Music] why don't we see historically women scholars female sisters in important

[0:10]social political positions does that mean Islam has placed that restriction are

[0:18]them or this is something cultural if we look at societies historically

[0:23]around the world they were patriarchal societies societies that were run by

[0:30]males in which political positions were given to men important social positions

[0:37]were given to men and while a slant came and it did

[0:40]offer rights to women but in the end societies were patriarchal men

[0:47]were running the society and that has had its consequences throughout history

[0:52]so this is not because of an Islamic obligation only men can

[0:57]lead these important social and political positions no in fact we have

[1:01]examples from Islam for women becoming leaders but it's cultural limitation that

[1:08]was placed on women because historically Islam came in a patriarchal society

[1:13]and you can change some aspects of society but you can't fully

[1:17]transform it takes many many generations you know to change certain mentalities

[1:24]so in Islam we actually have many many examples of female leaders

[1:31]who had very important positions one of them was the grandmother of

[1:35]element manager olive Tejada firaga the grandmother of Alabama and mantilla say

[1:39]the hadith you know we probably don't know about her but she

[1:43]played a very important role in labor to Solara when the Imam

[1:50]went into his way back to his occultation one of the Companions

[1:53]of the Imam and Imam and a scary one of his companions

[1:55]I meant even Ibrahim he says I was confused at the time

[2:03]of the occultation the labor where should the Shia go I don't

[2:07]understand so he says I went to a sada hakima the aunt

[2:14]of the Imam and I talked to her from behind the veil

[2:18]I told her say you did too what do we do the

[2:25]Shia element of Zhao Jie who is our link you know what

[2:28]she told him she told him ll shed on a bee Mohammed

[2:34]the grandmother of Le Monde many the mother of any mammal askary

[2:37]she is now the link between the Mandi and the Shia if

[2:44]you have any questions go and ask her he was a good

[2:48]man I mean a good top companion of the Imam but he

[2:54]found it strange he told to say the hakima he said the

[2:56]maddie is in labor and you want me to go to a

[3:00]woman to take my deed come on that's too much he couldn't

[3:06]accept that then he asked her whose son are you following by

[3:08]doing this you know what say the hakima says she says we

[3:13]are following the Sunnah of IB Abdullah for say noddy's Salam he

[3:17]said how he said she tell she I say the hakima tells

[3:20]Ahmed Ibrahim the companion of an imam and askary she tells him

[3:25]a mammal for saying Hani Salaam he gave his Wasi his will

[3:32]to his sister Zainab alehissalaam to spread the teachings right after Carmela

[3:38]why a father and an imam zain al-abideen syria's eid had told

[3:43]the bene romania his people if you see the son of imam

[3:46]hussain claiming that he's an imam and he's teaching people kill him

[3:53]you know for several years maybe for 2 to 5 years everything

[3:57]that came from an imam zain al-abideen the teachings it would go

[4:02]through ladies a 'nobody s-salam Subhan Allah in fact even if he

[4:11]would say something he would say my aunt Zeynep says so why

[4:15]to protect his life because they would kill him he could not

[4:20]reveal to the public that he was the next Imam because he'd

[4:21]would have would have him killed so Lena zina became the link

[4:27]between the Muslims and the island bait and the Imam so she

[4:32]tells him that the mother the grandmother of an imam al-mahdi she's

[4:35]filling that same position that's a very important position it's a position

[4:40]of leadership but we see Islam gave that position to women now

[4:43]we have had by the way female scholars in history we have

[4:48]many many female scholars for example the daughter of a lamb emergency

[4:52]the daughter of the the the wife of alma la sala hamas

[4:57]and Durrani she was a much to head a scholar even today

[4:59]in the seminaries we have many females who are leaders who are

[5:02]thinkers who are intellectuals or researchers so throughout history maybe we have

[5:08]were not too familiar with their names but historically there have always

[5:11]been female scholars [Music] you
