As an Iranian, I would like to thank you for this great lecture although I would not agree with one of the points. My country has been under sanctions for 43 years since the first day of revolution. West cannot stand any strong independent country in the region. Western countries have used any tool (coup, war, sanctions, social cultural attack, ...) to destroy my country from outside and inside. Alhamdulillah, all of their attempts have failed so far. وَ مَكَرُوا وَ مَكَرَ اللّٰهُ وَ اللّٰهُ خَيْرُ الْمٰاكِرِينَ

[@sarahkareem1251]

Indeed, may Allah bless your country Iran and it's brave people.

[@nhalikul]

Finally I see a comment from an Iranian that I can appreciate. Be very careful people the world Super powers are preying like hawks on smaller countries especially the ones with rich natural resources to take over. They control all of Africa already. They took over American subcontinent except for few countries and all of Western Europe. Middle East is either already destroyed or the remaining governments are puppet governments. So one by one thy constantly keep swallowing up.

[@everythingandmore5537]

Women in Iran should be allowed to peacefully protest the strict hijab rules. Also those who don't where the hijab properly should be fined similar to a parking offence. No need to be put into a van and send to a correction facility. The speaker is rambling away and clearly off topic.

[@user-uu3ix3yh4j]

The west is actually infiltrating quite successfully now. What message do you really think is being sent around the world and especially to Muslim Ummah and about Islam by burning the hijabs and defying wearing the hijab??? The west wants the whole world to bend to their rules be it socially, culturally, economically, or any otherwise. Have a look at India now and India 50 years ago. Their public was infiltrated the same way with hashtags, feminism, and 'freedom and gender equality' from west and now they have openly applied their way of living and hear of Hindus converting to Christianity for the sake pleasure in this world. May ALLAH SWT protect the whole Muslim Ummah and keep his religion ISLAM always within hearts of every Muslim, for this world is only a fleeting time and hereafter is everlasting.

[@usamuslimvt]

Alhumdulillah I feel Iran is one of the last countries on the planet not completely run by shaytans...and I pray it always remains so!

[@jabinislam8624]

I didnt wear hijab until i was into my mid 20s and it was the biggest decision i took at that stage of my life. Alhamdulillah my parents, family didnt force me so i was able to deal with my nafs and not outside pressure on top which may have overwhelmed me. When others asked me to speak to young women i knew that didnt wear hijab my advice was simply dont force them, educate them about all aspects of Islam and in time they will come round to it. But if you force it, the reasons for wearing it will be wrong and the point will be missed and in the long run it may have an adverse affect. Even if someone wears it loosely they are in the right direction so encourage them not reprimand them...what happened in Iran to Mahsa Amini is unacceptable and unforgiveable.

[@toshadenysekey5467]

As Salamu laikyum Jabin islam,I definitely agree with you on that not to force the hijab on anyone each individual has to 1st understand why Allah (subhanahu wa ta'alaa) has commanded us women to wear it,one must understand why you're suppose to wear it,and the reason for it a new shahada coming into the fold of Al-islam it will take time for them to wear the full hijab and the khimar which is the (headcovering) each person has to grow and Allah knows best.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for it (prayer) when they become ten years old; and arrange their beds (to sleep) separately. Forcing someone to do something is sometimes necessary. Parents are responsible for their children's behaviors and actions, so they should force their children to do something if the children fail to do it on their own/aren't convinced. If you see someone walking down the street completely naked, the police aren't going to talk to the person and reason with them and try to convince them to put on clothes. They're going to arrest them and force them to get dressed or keep them in jail.

[@millatiibrahim2416]

Enforcing hijaab if within your power, is called "Enjoining the good and Forbidding the evil" Which is an obligation, in general upon every Muslim, in their capacity.

[@thameemsh]

May Allah preserve Shaikh Yasir Qadhi among us for the longest time. His wisdom and knowledge is much needed for us in this dark and confusing times.

[@nurhanaibrahim162]

Yes so great bringing us all more into darkness and ignorance...??!!

[@thameemsh]

@@nurhanaibrahim162 No one is perfect. You are free to disagree with any particular issues discussed by Dr. Yasir. But only if you listen to many Shaikhs including Dr. Yasir , you would understand the broader scope of things and then use your intellect to choose what to follow . But you don’t listen to all sides and blatantly say Dr. Yasir is leading us to darkness is you being the ignorant. I lived all my life in Saudi, Dr. Yasir Qadhi opened my eyes to many things that were going around me, if only I wouldn’t have listened to him, just because someone posted a few minutes clip of his saying something wrong, I would be the loser. Ulamas spend all their lives to learn deen , no one can question their sincerity. Every ulama in the history of islam were criticized by other ulama for one or other things. A great example would be Ibn Taymiyyah. He was regarded as a deviant and leading people astray. Take what you can for these shaikh and leave the other things if you don’t like it. But I don’t think we are in the position to criticize any islamic scholar unless we are in their level and that to with respect and as a means of nasiha. Also remember Allah rewards them with one reward if they have said something wrong but with good niyyah andrewards then two if what they preached was correct. Allah punishes us for criticizing them with no apparent reason as this would be nifaaq. A great shaikh once said don’t get involved in 3 disbutes as there is no good that will come out of it, I remember only two, one was dispute between scholars and another was dispute between your parents

[@nurhanaibrahim162]

@@thameemsh Wassallam wrb. You are right no one is perfect except the Prophet RSAW ie both the individual and the Ulamak. However as a Ulamak who gives dars speeches online or in real life situations has a responsibility to stick to the truth of the Quran Hadith sahih and 5 Jurists and Fuquha. So do we as laymen or individual Muslim. Let us clarify in a number of points. 1.Sheikh Yasir and others of Yaqeen Institute have major flaws making the halal haram and haram halal like LGBTQ and other issue like enforcing hijab import of Hijab and other matters.Its the trend of many so called Ulamak who mislead Ummah at present in the West East and Muslim countries to give some truths and falsity most.Its for people tk believe in them and start making false in most of Islam bit by bit. Even as half knowledgeable or ordinary Muslims Allah gives us mind to think and to know the real Ulamak from false evil ones distorting Islam to keep position and wealth. The same as you have said about Ibn Taymiah RAA and other jurists even Khalifah Rashedeen. But how you compare Yasir to Ibn Taymiah the 5 Prominent main Jurists ?? Thus any wrong doings must be criticized if truly ikhlas must make public apology retract and keep silent. Yes many still persist like Nourman Khan etc. Thus we must prevent munkar and advocate maaruf.All of us must try to not making mistakes especially Ulamak as responsible for Ummah even imperfect. No excuse. 2..As Muslims our duty to unite and not to criticize wrongly or for argument sake. Yes that's correct especially for you Saudi as Islam IS enforced but not taught with understanding and given knowledge. Even enforcement not all correct it's all cosmetic but not real Islamic governance as practised by the Prophet RSAW building up the greatest civilization even until end of times Yom Qiyamah. Still Islam should be enforced rightly and be Perfect and Just for all Muslims and non Muslims male or female young or old rich or poor regardless race color nationalities. Still theres hope.And we can inshallah.

[@thameemsh]

@@nurhanaibrahim162 Wa alaikum Salaam. You really need to understand that most of these Shaykhs make their own ijtihad based on their studies and knowledge. Just because that opinion doesn't fit and match your opinion it does not mean they are deviant. I am an avid listener to islamic lectures from many western and eastern Ulamas, their differences are only on very few select issues. When you boycott and disregard the whole person just because of his stance on one particular issue, I think thats been naive and unfair. What happened to the 99% of good things they preached. If you have a problem with one or few of the things that Shaykh Yasir Qadhi says , then refute and address that particular issue. But slaughtering his whole character and person is totally wrong. I have listened to 95% of all lectures available online of Dr.Yasir's. I have immensely benefitted from him and a million others would relate to me. What do you say to that? And another thing we never ever had time in the history of Islam where all major ulamas agreed upon on all islamic issues. And such time is never gonna come and frankly that is one of the beautiful things about Islam. So please don't reject a person in total just because they have few flaws here and there. I am sure you know the hadith where Rasulullah(saw) said why most people in hell fire are women, because they are not grateful to their husbands for the many good things he has done to her but sees something not to her likings in her husband and then says I have never seen any good in him.

@@michaelabbott9080 God exists because God is the explanation of why human beings have purpose (they were created on purpose). Without that, life would be meaningless, yet you do not ever meet people, even atheists, who live life as if it were meaningless. If they truly thought that they would have a Nietzschean worldview, and get away with whatever transgressions they could and see morality as made up to keep the otherwise strong weak. But 99% of atheists are not like this, instead they live life as if it had purpose. Why don't they live what they preach? Because deep down they know it's untrue. They know they are not accidents in this world. Okay, so some kind of creator of people happened, because we naturally view life as having purpose so we must have come into existence purposefully. Now how do we know anything about the creator? Well, there are various accounts of the Creator from various peoples and times. We can stack Islam up against any of those you wish. It will logically prevail, I am sure.

[@lemortedbrian6070]

do you think women should also have a choice on whether to cover their chest or legs, or just on the hijab? if just the hijab, its because the west has brainwashed you to think this cloth (which is no different to covering the rest of the body in terms of importance in islam) is abnormal and requires choice to wear.

[@eesaabdurrahman1569]

@@michaelabbott9080 there are many videos making rational, philosophical arguments for the existence of God but I don’t rely on philosophy too much. I just ask, if there is no God then where did all of this come from? Doesn’t it make sense that there must be something uncreated that is the origin of existence? Read the Quran. It gives evidence such as the perfection of nature. Describing how mountains are like pegs in the ground to minimize the earth from shaking. There is also one’s own innate instinct towards belief in one Creator. We are veiled from the obvious reality of God’s existence a bit because this life is a test so we must make efforts to see beyond that veil. I suggest you read the Quran and pray for guidance to see what happens. Pray only to “God”, no images or ideas beyond that: the One God, the Unique, Self-sufficient Creator and Sustainer of all the Universes. It does take faith and effort but if God guides you then you will see. I am not one, however, to claim that I can prove this empirically via the scientific method. I do appreciate your skepticism.

Transformation of the heart and soul through faith in a manner pleasing to Allah is the essence of Islam. Justice cannot be achieved without faith. This is exemplified in the methodology of our beloved Prophet (alayhis salam): serving the public by educating them spiritually and physically, strengthening their iman, providing guidance, mentorship, humanitarian aid and social services

[@fark69]

The Prophet also implemented corporal punishment on thieves and adulterers. The Prophet also captured and executed traitors to society. The Prophet BALANCED harsh justice when needed and forgiveness and mercy when beneficial. The idea that mandating hijab is not merciful or not correct because it's not teaching people why they should wear is wrong. They know why they should wear it. They know what it says on the Quran and what the reasoning is. These people just don't want to listen, and at that level, sometimes force is needed. The Prophet used force when needed, and so should any government or leader

In muslim lands, An individual should have the option of openly committing sins against the commands of Allah without being held accountable by the Muslim authorities.

35:00 he is so right bc if you speak with muslim women who are struggling with hijab or muslim women in general you hear of their heartbreak over the way the ummah has failed them in protecting them from abuse and misuse of islam.

[@abusayf4322]

Although this is true, May Allah forgive our men. But this doesn’t change the fact that proper hijab is mandatory no matter what.

[@fark69]

This is the minority of women. Majority of women are not abused in Muslim households or by Muslim community. The incidence of such things is even lower in the West, yet in the West you see the most women who "struggle" with hijab or don't want to wear it but still believe in Islam. So clearly, the two are not linked. It seems to me, much more clear, that wearing hijab in the West is difficult and we make a point (wrongly) to simply overlook not wearing hijab as not a big deal. Sure it's not a major sin, but in today's world where Quranic knowledge is easy to access and the fact of hijab being mandatory is very clear, the excuse to not wear it is very little and not wearing it is a clear sign of lacking belief in the commandments of Allah (swt). It's much easier than many other things Allah (swt) asks from us, like mandatory zakat, staying chaste until marriage, abstaining from drink, dancing, and most types of music, etc. But Muslims will do all these but then complain about hijab. I sympathize greatly for all who are abused or mistreated and it's a shame anyone allows this, but that is not the main thing behind the loss of hijab in the West. I don't think it is

At it's heart the issue is not about hijab...it's about the morality police. This is the first and most important problem!!! Thay killed a woman ...

Excellent lecture! Alhamdulillah wa salaam alaikoum.

Seems like KZbin cherry picks what comments to show. If you can see this comment please like to see how it works. I liked the speech, wise discussions politically.

[@Salehqesh]

I love you brother Dr. Yaser in Allah for what you guide. One is expected by you to take an action on the issue of Iranian criminal and oppressing regime during this critical time. What are good reasons not to touch political difficulties that Iranian innocent people are going through? You are talking about vaccines issues. ???

While there is no punishment listed in the Quran or hadith for no wearing the hijab, it is a commandment from Allah so it should be up-kept to one’s best ability

[@ahmedredaahmed3234]

There's no worldly punishment listed in the Quran or Hadith for dealing with interest or walking naked down the street. Does that mean the government cannot make rules about these things?

[@DESTRIAZ]

@@ahmedredaahmed3234 not exactly. In chapter 2 verse 275 of the Quran, Allah says “Those who consume interest cannot stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity.” So there is a penalty stated. However, I made sure to state that even though no punishment is stated for not wearing the hijab, it still is a commandment from Allah. So the fact that its a commandment means that if it is disobeyed, then there will be a penalty in some shape or form.

[@DESTRIAZ]

@@ahmedredaahmed3234 in terms of the government making rules about things, as muslims we are commanded to follow the law of the land, but that is providing that it coincides with islamic laws. If the government makes a law to ban hijab, that is against the commandment of Allah and the government should not be followed in this regard. Same with anything else, if a law is put in place then we as muslims must check and see if it fits with islamic law, and based upon that, we are to either follow or not follow the government.

@@ahmedredaahmed3234 A war from Allah and the prophet, that’s the punishment, and there’s no sign that we should understand that in any other way than a literal direct act of war.

[@ahmedredaahmed3234]

@@DESTRIAZ That verse talks about the punishment of the hereafter. I said there is no worldly punishment stated in the Quran for someone who deals with interest or walks down the street completely naked. That doesn't prevent governments from making their own reasonable punishments for such things. So this whole argument of governments cannot force women to wear the Hijab because the Quran and Hadiths don't state a worldly punishment is a bad argument.

May I know the verse at the intro? Jzk

[@ashafarah9414]

Come on Hijab & Nudity are completely different! It’s about “Control”

[@arefinkamal7654]

No, it’s about virtue.

In SA brring born Muslim the elder ppl if they spoke looking back today as a child no questions do as we say if for ur own good being a grandmother today Algamdulilah the wisdom imparted to us as young girls from the age of 7 was set in stone being in madressa or at homes. ❤

[@billmiller813]

Men can be exposed, but not women? Why should men be allowed to be 'immodest'?

[@kausamsalam8543]

Good question. Both men and women in Quran are invited to dress modestly. There is no compulsion in religion, however-an essence of everything in Quran based on one’s reading analysis.

[@katyana92]

Muslim men should be modest and most importantly lower their gazes.

[@masshaka]

Good lecture Mashalah. Even not clear yet if Hijab can be enforced and what islamic penal code if there is any in seerah.

I’m glad he’s figured it out. Wish he had realized we shouldn’t be jumping on the bandwagon when getting rid of President Asad of Syria was in vogue
