00:00What do you think would happen if an atheist girl wears a hijab?
00:03Would it be prevented or would it be declared as freedom?
00:06Let's say that obviously she was not doing it because of Islam,
00:08but because she liked how it looked or because of some kind of problem with her hair.
00:12Imagine if that was stopped or if the states stepped in and marginalized that person.
00:17Everyone would be against that right?
00:18So why do people oppose and governments stand up against a woman who wants to wear hijab for
00:23Islamic reasons? If she has found her philosophy of life and how to interpret her purpose in this
00:28world through Islam, why would she be stopped from dressing accordingly?
00:31The hijab does not show a person's religious views 100%.
00:34A Christian, a Jew or anyone else can wear it too.
00:37It's a personal preference.
00:39If you ask me, even an atheist can wear it.
00:41Atheist?
00:42Yes, because the covering is at the same time something natural.
00:45It's an innate inclination of women.
00:47Today we're going to prove this very clearly in four parts.
00:52At the most basic level, hijab means as commanded by Allah,
00:56covering certain parts of the body.
00:58It should also prevent the body curves from being exposed.
01:00The main issue we're going to discuss is not whether it's difficult for someone or not,
01:04but whether the fitrah, our natural disposition, requires it or not.
01:08So if you have a prejudice in your mind, I ask you to put it aside for a while.
01:12I want you to see the logic, the purpose of Islam's perspective.
01:16According to 2020 statistics, 16.7 billion dollars was spent on cosmetic procedures in the US.
01:23I don't know what this statistic means to you, but what it means to me
01:26is that there are countless women out there who don't think they are beautiful enough.
01:30Social media or modern culture has presented us with a perception of beauty
01:34that says you are beautiful as long as you fit the criteria I said.
01:38But in reality, very few women look like the ones in photos or on TV with those heavy makeup.
01:43This perception of beauty is far from reality.
01:46Therefore, when a woman is exposed to this, she starts to feel ugly and insufficient.
01:50Imagine a girl growing up with a toy like a Barbie doll with an exaggerated physique.
01:54A perception of beauty, far from reality, was formed in her mind.
01:58Then she starts to think that this false beauty perception was real while watching those movies
02:03and TV series. Then she grows up and starts using social media.
02:07There, she also sees people who do not look the way they really are.
02:11Over the years, she forms a standard of beauty in her mind.
02:14And when she compares herself to it, she thinks she is ugly.
02:17In this case, she has two choices. One, she will think that everyone who looks at her
02:22thinks she is ugly and she will be affected psychologically.
02:25And many people get into depression in this way.
02:27Two, to avoid being considered ugly, she will uncover herself as much as possible.
02:32She will start dressing up in a revealing way.
02:34She will live for fashion, not for herself.
02:37She will start to corrupt her fitrah for the looks and opinions of others and sacrifice her values.
02:42She will make long preparations before leaving the house.
02:45She might also begin to change some parts of her body through surgery if she has the opportunity.
02:49There are many examples of both cases.
02:51So which one will she choose?
02:52She doesn't have to choose one or the other.
02:55There are perceptions that some people have drawn and imposed on her.
02:58And she shouldn't feel bad about them and be a slave to those people's desires and wishes.
03:02By falling into this trap, they put themselves in danger of being stared at
03:06and exposed to dirty looks of men.
03:08We will discuss this in more detail later.
03:10In conclusion, the lack of a concept like hijab plays a big part in this.
03:15At this point, Islam says to women,
03:17You are superior and above anyone's judgment of whether you are beautiful or not.
03:21Allah created you in a special, unique beauty.
03:24If a woman wears a hijab, in a way, she declares that
03:27I don't have to fit into the standards of others.
03:29Only one person, my life partner, my husband should love me and find me beautiful.
03:33She will live her life, not for the opinions of others, but for Allah.
03:37There are three things that family counselors and marriage therapists
03:41say are essential for a marriage. Trust, love and respect.
03:44A woman's nature is to seek a man with whom she feels peaceful, happy and secure.
03:49Likewise, a man wants to trust his wife, build a loving relationship and be happy.
03:54To maintain the happiness of the family, this bond must not get damaged.
03:58Family counselors also emphasize this.
04:00There must be mutual loyalty and trust to prevent any harm to the marriage.
04:04This is where Islam offers the solution of covering for both parties.
04:07In the 30th Ayah of Surat-Un-Nur, Allah says,
04:10Tell believing men to lower their glances and guard their private parts.
04:14That is purer for them. Allah is well aware of everything they do.
04:18In other words, the first covering is the eyelids of men.
04:21And in the next Ayah, women are commanded to cover themselves.
04:24It's a double protection.
04:25Allah is taking a measure to protect the institution of family and the happiness within it.
04:30Today, there's a battle going on behind the scenes against these two types of coverings.
04:35So what happens when these are removed from a family?
04:38The trust and loyalty that we're talking about starts to get damaged over time.
04:42They begin to corrupt from the inside without anyone noticing.
04:46In the nature of every woman, there's a tendency to make herself look beautiful and to receive praise.
04:51And if a woman with this tendency goes out without a hijab, the desire to be praised for her beauty
04:57will come into play. And this can make her live her entire life just to be praised and admired.
05:01So she will spend her days outside with clothes that reveal her beauty with her hair done,
05:06her makeup and her accessories.
05:08What percentage of men do you think says,
05:10That might be someone's wife. I shouldn't be looking at her.
05:13Let a social experiment from a few years ago give us the answer for this.
05:16A woman walked in the streets of New York City in a revealing outfit for 5 hours.
05:21As a result of the experiment, she was verbally harassed 108 times.
05:25There were also many people looking at her with openly bad intentions.
05:29But there's something very interesting about the rest of the experiment.
05:32The same woman walks around the same city but now in hijab for 5 hours.
05:36What is the result?
05:37Nobody looks at her the way she was looked at in the first case.
05:41Yes, this is a reality that corrupts the family.
05:44And whether the spouses realize it or not,
05:46it's slowly damaging the loyalty and trust between them from the inside.
05:50With jealousy and broken trust, loyalty and peace are corrupted internally.
05:54A husband will never accept that someone should stare at his wife, verbally harass her,
05:58hurt her, break her heart or upset her.
06:01He is jealous and possessive.
06:02It's in his nature.
06:03For a woman, it's in her nature to want her husband to only be interested in her
06:08and not look at other women in a desiring way.
06:11These two feelings of jealousy and protecting each other from others
06:15can be satisfied if only both of them follow the commandments of the hijab.
06:19But let's now imagine the other way around.
06:21If both spouses were careful with their protection, what would be the difference?
06:25The social experiment tells us that a woman should save her beauty for her husband
06:29and her husband alone as a true sign of loyalty.
06:31Her husband will not worry if others are looking at her.
06:34In the same way, if a man pays attention to his eyes,
06:37he will be showing his loyalty to his wife in a certain way.
06:40It will leave no doubt in her mind like,
06:42Is he looking at someone else?
06:43Is there someone else in his life?
06:45She will not feel uncomfortable thinking about this.
06:47She will not have any uncomfortable thoughts like these.
06:50So the absence of this faithfulness and trust means that the eyes are now turned outward.
06:55It means that the ground is being set for the breakdown of the family.
06:59There's some very serious data that we came across while researching this subject.
07:03I will also mention them later as well.
07:05There's a research by the famous organization General Social Survey ,
07:10a research on the rates of cheating between 2010 and 2016.
07:14And the results are horrible.
07:16Among the married couples that are surveyed, 20% of men and 13% of women were found to be cheating.
07:22In other words, there's infidelity in almost 1 out of every 4 families.
07:26Again, the same study says that 40% of these cheating couples got divorced afterwards.
07:31Isn't a 6 year study and these results are scary enough?
07:35This shows that not paying attention to covering for both parties hurts the family.
07:39Also, the psychology of cheating is very different. Not everyone who does it can hide it.
07:43I'm not talking about getting caught.
07:45Health testing centers conducted a survey of 441 subjects in 2021.
07:50And 47.7% of those who cheated on their spouses confessed it in a week.
07:55Also, 26.6% waited a month.
07:58In other words, out of regret, it cannot be hidden.
08:00It comes out somehow.
08:02And then it leads to divorce or to wounds that cannot be healed.
08:05Would this result really have occurred if an entire country had paid attention to both type
08:10of coverings and kept their bodies and eyes away from anyone other than their spouses?
08:15I'll leave the judgment to you.
08:17The famous boxer Muhammad Ali explaining the hijab to his daughter said,
08:21Every valuable thing that Allah created in the world is covered and hard to get to.
08:25Where do you find diamonds?
08:26Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
08:29Where do we find pearls?
08:30Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
08:34Where do you find gold?
08:35Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock.
08:39You've got to work hard to get to them.
08:41Your body is sacred.
08:42You're far from precious than diamonds and pearls.
08:45That's why you should be covered too.
08:46You should be protected.
08:48A hijab is what protects a woman from being easily accessible.
08:52A hijab makes a woman valuable.
08:54No one can see even a single hair on her head without her permission.
08:57Remember the social experiment on the streets of New York?
09:00When a woman walking down the street was not covered,
09:02she was subjected to stares of dozens of people.
09:05She faced disgusting looks.
09:07But when she walked around with the hijab on,
09:09she showed who the actual owner of her body was.
09:12She gave the message that she's not just made of flesh,
09:15but it's actually her soul that makes her valuable.
09:18Remember we said at the beginning that there are two different coverings,
09:21one for women and one for men.
09:23When both sides do not follow this rule,
09:25they attract each other like the two sides of a magnet.
09:28And the order in the world begins to turn upside down.
09:31Sexual desires turn into actions, into illegitimate relationships, into perversions,
09:36and then even into crimes.
09:38Men and women both have a responsibility here.
09:40And when both of them don't observe the rulings, the blame goes to both of them.
09:44No one can deny that when both sides fail to protect themselves,
09:48the real value of women is forgotten and ignored.
09:50And unfortunately, women start to be seen only as sexual objects.
09:54Here, I'm not saying only this group is guilty.
09:57Both sides are disobeying the rulings about covering.
10:00Women and men both trigger each other and terrible results come out.
10:04But unfortunately, it's the women who have to bear the consequences the most.
10:08Let's look at this reality with other data.
10:10According to a study conducted by the CDC, in 2020,
10:14nearly 500,000 abortions were performed in the USA,
10:18and 86% of these pregnancies were outside of marriage.
10:22In one year, 400,000 people are killed in one country because of illegitimate relationships.
10:27Of course, this is a very difficult decision for a woman.
10:30That's why most of the time, the birth takes place.
10:33According to a study by the same organization, in 2021,
10:36from illegitimate relationships, there have been 1.4 million births in the United States of America alone.
10:42The mother alone carries the child, takes care of him, and tries to raise him for years.
10:47And in this process, there is no supportive father by her side.
10:50Imagine the mental state of the mother in that situation,
10:53and imagine the mental state of a child growing up without a father.
10:56And the prevention of this, again, depends on the two commandments of the Quran that we have mentioned.
11:01When Prophet Muhammad talks about the end of times, the signs of the apocalypse,
11:06he gives a sign like this.
11:08There will be 40 women for every man.
11:10Of course, there is an analogy here.
11:11The meaning of this hadith has been explained,
11:14but there is another meaning that is happening right before our eyes.
11:17When both parties do not follow the rulings about covering, the demand for marriage decreases.
11:22When a man looks at hundreds of different women, he corrupts his nature,
11:26and when a woman is exposed to many eyes, over time, she damages her soul.
11:30This is actually the consequence of the three things we mentioned before.
11:34Let's think of it this way.
11:35Men whose morals have been corrupted by not protecting themselves,
11:39don't want to commit themselves to one woman.
11:41They see it as a limitation.
11:42And because his perception of beauty has been distorted, he cannot find what he wants in one
11:46woman, so he does not want to commit himself to anyone.
11:49Also, because he cannot trust people, he doesn't want to have a serious relationship.
11:53He spends time with different women all the time.
11:56We hear a lot about people who flirt with several people at the same time, don't we?
12:00Think about how many girls this person will have relationship with in his lifetime.
12:04But the woman's soul is looking for one man whom she can fully trust, connect with, and rely on.
12:10If she doesn't look for that man within the boundaries set by Allah, she always comes across such man.
12:15Now, if we connect these two realities, doesn't the current situation fit with the expression
12:1940 women for one man?
12:21A man thinks living like this will make him happy.
12:24But he doesn't realize that he is dirtying and hurting his heart
12:27by distancing himself from the halal circle that Allah gave him.
12:31And these wounds in his heart might even prevent him from being fully happy in his marriage in the future.
12:36Neither the man who looks at these 40 women, nor the person who is one of these 40 women
12:40can find complete peace.
12:42And it's again the women who suffer the most.
12:45So Islam promises to prevent many disasters just with its two commandments.
12:49Like these four points, many more things can be counted.
12:52But all of them shows us this.
12:54Hijab is not just an ordinary commandment.
12:57It's both inherent in the nature of men and women.
13:00It's something that we are naturally inclined to do.
13:02It's a wise, logical and beneficial commandment of Allah,
13:06who created the heavens and the earth from nothing,
13:08who created human beings and all the features of their bodies.
13:12The one who creates a thing knows its best.
13:14And the one who has the best say about it is the one who knows it.
13:17When Allah , the one who created us,
13:20has given us commandments about covering and protection in the Quran,
13:23could it be that he did this so that we become unhappy?
13:26Or he did so for the peace and happiness that we have been seeking for years but couldn't find?
13:31Once again, we understand that if humanity does not value the commandments of Islam,
13:36let alone treat the cause of their unhappiness,
13:38they will not even be able to diagnose it.
13:40As for the country that started all these discussions,
13:43whether you are France or any other country,
13:46we cannot stand against the fitrah by banning the hijab.
13:49When it comes to talking, you emphasize the importance of freedoms,
13:53but in reality, you restrict people's freedoms.
13:56So you don't really want freedom, but only the freedom of your own ideas.
14:00No matter what you do, you will not be able to stand against Islam.
