Head & Face Veils are Against the Islamic Law

-‐ Assalamu 3alaikom wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuhu (official greeting in Islam meaning: May Peace, Mercy & Blessings of Allah be upon you)

-‐ It is no secret to every Muslim nowadays in the modern era we live in on planet earth: about one of the problems that Muslims are faced with in the western world:

-‐ As soon as Muslims leave their framed Arab world to the western world, they start to get shocked with a bunch of problems

-‐ and they think that the source of the problem is not from their side, and that is the “Collective Ego”, the ego that they came out from originally,

-‐ they believe that the problem is not originating from them, and that it originates from the societies that they are going to

-‐ So, if you assume that the problem was actually in the societies that you are going to, the question that is raised here is: Why are you going there then?



-‐ The problem is within you, the problem is within us, as Muslims

-‐ And the problem is not specifically from us, it is specifically from our ancestors; what happened?

-‐ When our ancestors used to gather and put the ‘Islamic heritage’ together, and while they were documenting the jurisprudence system, at that point in time, they did not know the western world, and they did not know the advancements that will occur in the world and how it will develop, they did not know any of these things, and they wouldn’t have known, they would never have reached such conclusions, that was all the knowledge that they had reached at that stage

-‐ The problem here is that: you have taken that heritage of knowledge, and carried it on your shoulders and went on exporting it into the western world today, claiming that you are defending ‘God’s Religion’

-‐ And the idea that we want to learn in today’s episode is that there is a huge difference between the law of the Lord (Allah) -‐ which is a broad wide-‐ranging law that respects any place that you as a Muslim woman will go to -‐ and the law of the father – which refers to the law of the society that you grew up in



-‐ Big difference between the law of the Lord -‐ the glorified, the almighty – which we will get to know in today’s episode, and the law of the father

-‐ Both: The hair veil & the face veil that you are going and taking out with you to the western world; it is worth wondering if that comes from the law of the Lord or from the law of the father?

-‐ Today we will set definitive rules, that will surely not be liked by the fanatics of the laws of the fathers, but we don’t need other than the truth that God the glorious the almighty mentioned in the Quran

-‐ And I will say it again, before I start clarifying further: whoever will not listen to God’s words and follow his law, and those who adopt the law of the father – the law of the ancestors and the Islamic heritage -‐, God the almighty will shock them with his servants

-‐ What is the western world at the end of the day? They are the servants of Allah, and Allah’s creation, and their land is Allah’s land; so when you as a woman, go to the land of Allah and to the servants of Allah, with something that is against Allah, it is logical that Allah will shock you with them



-‐ Consequently this requires you, as a woman, to re-‐think, if you wanted to understand and reflect, like what Allah tells us to do in the Quran in this verse: “Would they not Contemplate?”

-‐ Before we go into those details, I want to tell you what God the almighty said about the hair and face veils in his holy book.

-‐ Now, the subject that we have is divided into 2 sections: 1st, we have the subject of having a full veil, i.e. covering the woman entirely from head to toe, without revealing anything at all, where the woman appears as one block (one piece), without distinguishing between the face from the hands or from the legs, it would be all the same: this is the Full Veil

-‐ You can even see that there is uniformity in the verdict, where it does not differentiate between the hands and the hair and the legs and the face, etc., they are all treated the same

-‐ And those who came out with the verdict of the full veil for a woman, came up with it in slander to God the almighty (or) based on a rule that they had made up and invented: which states (sinfully and in slur, as per them, as one of their scholars says) that a woman’s face is like her genitals, and therefore, she needs to cover it just like she needs to cover her genitals:



-‐ This is the 1st school, which exists in the heritage of our Muslim fathers and ancestors, and we will explore to know whether this is right or wrong

-‐ The 2nd school that exists, which is a bit less strict than the 1st one, allows the woman to show her face and her hands, but obliges her to cover her hair

-‐ This makes us ask: which one is a more source of seduction? The hair or the face? so this school considers that you as a woman should go ahead and cover your hair but the most important thing is that you appear with your face shown, so that you get recognized, and your hands shown because you use them

-‐ So, the 2nd half of the jurists and ancestors from the Islamic heritage allowed the face and hands to be shown to people, and the rest of the woman’s body to be concealed

-‐ Now, in contrast to those 2 schools, there appeared several other schools that are circumventing. In those schools, a woman would actually cover her hair and cover her whole body, and only show her face and hands, but at the same time,



she would wear clothes that clearly describe the details of her body

-‐ We would not go on to talk about all the human fabrications and inventions, whether they were about the hair veil or the face veil or the maneuvering of the Muslim woman (except those whom Allah has mercy on)

-‐ But we will directly get into Allah’s Words, and see what he is telling us, and explore the sky’s methodology, and you, as a Muslim woman, have the full freedom for yourself

-‐ Whoever is asking you to be fully veiled, wants you to reach somewhere, and whoever is allowing you to show your face and hands wants you to reach somewhere, as well as whoever tells you not to wear any of those veils and does not oblige you to wear anything and says you can reveal yourself also wants you to reach somewhere

-‐ But, all I am going to do with you in this video is, that I will deliver to you God’s sayings regarding this subject, in a very simplified way, and from here it is your choice, but you will be the one solely responsible for this choice of yours, socially



-‐ The famous verse of the Quran in which Allah specified a woman’s clothing, translates to “Tell the women believers to lower their glances and guard their private parts”, now from the next part of the verse onwards Allah starts to specify what a woman should wear

-‐ Forget now about headscarves and full veils, and let us look in a more concentrated manner at what the Muslim woman should wear according to the text in the Quran verse

-‐ Addressing the words to the Muslim women who live in the western world: I wonder who do you follow? These are the words of Allah whose religion you adopt: so let’s see what Allah says in the Quran

-‐ The Quran says “and they do not show their adornment other than what is revealed from it”: we will not follow any previous explanations or jurists, we will only follow the text and articulation of the Quran verse itself

-‐ The human body, and the woman’s body specifically is divided into 3 levels, divided exactly like the verse says, and you will see the justice and the truth in the coming words from here



-‐ A woman’s body is divided into 3 levels: Allah the most glorious says “and they do not show their adornment other than what is revealed from it”, so we deduce that the first category is ‘Revealed (Exposed) Adornment’

-‐ When we go forward in the verse, it will say “and they should hit their veils” then says another time “and they do not show their adornment …etc.” we deduced that there is ‘Shown Adornment’

-‐ So now we identified 2 levels of adornment: the ‘Revealed Adornment’ and the ‘Shown Adornment’: Each one of them has its own verdict

-‐ Then we continue in the same verse where it says “they should not stamp their feet so as to draw attention to any hidden charms (adornment)” which makes us deduce that there is a 3rd level which is the ‘Hidden Adornment’

-‐ So, the whole subject is built in the verse, with all its branching, on 3 divisions (levels): ‘Revealed Adornment, ‘Shown Adornment’, and ‘Hidden Adornment’, and if you go ahead to explore the Islamic ruling on each one of those 3 divisions (levels), you will find that each one of the 3 will have its own separate verdict


Page 10 of 72 www.aminsabry.com

-‐ Allah the almighty says in the verse “and they do not show their adornment”, we want to agree on the word ‘adornment’, in that it is not referring to any gold or jewelry that you as a woman are wearing, because these will not be real adornment like you yourself as a woman are;

-‐ Because when Allah the almighty sends out an Islamic ruling in the Quran, he will not target a few jewelry pieces that you are going to be wearing temporarily, but Allah the almighty will target you yourself as a woman, because if you remove the few pieces of jewelry that you are wearing, then should we consider that the adornment is gone? And thus, that the verdict is gone too? Of course not, God here is not talking about a temporary status, God is referring to you yourself as a woman, as a permanent status

-‐ So, the first thing we will talk about is the ‘Revealed Adornment’: What is it? Your head and your hands. Let’s say now we want to cover up the human body, let’s say we got something (like a piece of clothing) and veiled the whole body of a human, while he or she is extending their arms to the front: what are the 2 most parts that will be clear while they are covered? It will be apparent that this is the head and these are the hands.



-‐ So, if the hands are extended in front of the person while he or she is covered, it will be clearly apparent from outside that this is the head and these are the hands, so, these 2 parts, even if the woman covered them or tried to conceal them , this is called the ‘Revealed Adornment’

-‐ What’s the difference between ‘Revealed’ & ‘Shown’? We want to know the difference between ‘Reveal’ and ‘Seem’ (derived in Arabic from the Arabic word ‘shown’). There is a difference between the 2 verbs, and this is what is expressed in the text of the verse and this is what many of the scholars and jurists, actually most of them, did not pay attention to

-‐ So, God says “and they do not show their adornment”: the woman is considered to be adornment from head to toe, and God the almighty made her this way for reasons that have to do with how the universe works, since if the woman did not have this adornment, she wouldn’t have gotten married, and relationships between males and females wouldn’t have gotten established

-‐ So God the almighty has wisdom and foresight that makes him create the woman to be adornment to the man, but at the same time, he tells you as a woman that he puts laws on this



adornment that you possess and categorizes it into types and forms

-‐ First thing, is the ‘Revealed Adornment’: and this means that it has predominating appearance whether we choose it or not, and this refers to the head and the hands: God says “and they do not show their adornment other than what is revealed from it”

-‐ So, the first type of adornment, which is the ‘Revealed Adornment’, will be revealed to people, and that is the head and the hands, NOT the face and the hands: Why do you divide the same organ into 2 parts?

-‐ The scholars and jurists have double standards: so they go ahead and say, the face and the palms; (and I wonder) the face and the palms? If we look at it closely we find that the face is part of the head. So you mean to tell me that it is not permissible (haram) to reveal the head and it is only permissible (halal) to reveal part of it which is the face?

-‐ Similarly, let’s look at the palms, this is the palm, but this is not the palm, it is the back of the hand, so does that mean that this is not permissible to reveal (haram)? So if we follow what the scholars/ jurists say, the back of the hand will be not



permissible to reveal (haram) but the palm of the hand is permissible (halal), because these here are the palms, and those are not the palms, those are the back of the hand.

-‐ So, do you mean to tell me that you the scholars are asking the woman to reveal those few centimeters of the face, and those few centimeters of the palm, while covering a woman’s fingers from the back of her hands?!!! What level of double standards is this??!!! What reasoning and what logic makes you invent such things?

-‐ So when God says “other than what is revealed from it” then it actually means whatever is revealed from it, which is ‘The head and the hands’ in general. Now, when it comes to the hands, I am not saying the shoulders, I am saying the hands, and the whole head. This is the first type of a woman’s adornment.

-‐ The 2nd type of a woman’s adornment is called the ‘Shown Adornment’, and this has another verdict, let’s see: God says “and they do not show their adornment other than what is revealed from it”, this is the first verdict for the ‘Revealed Adornment’ like we agreed.

-‐ Then, the verse goes into the 2nd verdict for the 2nd type of adornment: “and they should hit their veils to cover their



pockets” (‘pockets’ translates into ‘necklines’ everywhere), see now how a new command has emerged, so the 3 keywords here ‘hit to cover’ & ‘veils’ & ‘pockets’.

-‐ Starting from the neckline downwards, this is called the ‘pockets’ area: the pockets is an area, like when God talks to prophet Moses peace be upon him, he told him “put your hand in your pocket”, and Moses then put his hand here:

-‐ An area which lies between two areas in the human body and has energy. Familiarize yourself with the notion that the areas that fall between two body organs are called ‘pockets’: so the pocket in the example of Moses is the area between the shoulder and the chest, and from that explanation, a woman will have multiple ‘pocket’ areas in her body

-‐ God says “and they should hit their veils to cover their pockets”: Meaning the areas that are between elevated organs; these areas possess high energy: so God says “and they should hit” – what does hitting here mean? It means, that if the pockets area was apparently curvy (ups and downs), then hitting the veils upon that area will make it seem straight leveled, so for example if you had a mountainous area full of ups and downs like that, then you hit upon it, it will be as if you have filled the gaps and piled something within them so that



they become straight and all at one level so that you are unable to distinguish which are the ups and which are the downs

-‐ So, to go through this again: God says ““and they should hit their veils to cover their pockets”, not to cover their heads! The scholars held the word ‘veil’ and got stuck! So the veil here does not refer to a headscarf, we don’t want to invent our own meanings in the language of the Quran: a veil is something that covers the properties of the object, so since the ‘pockets’ area is an area with noticeable properties, where the bumps are clear, and where the terrain of that area and its features are obvious – so regarding this area, God says “and they should hit” which means they should completely hide, using their ‘veils’ meaning using the cover that conceals the properties of the object it is covering, so we are not talking about covering the head, then the verse continues “to cover their pockets” where this does not mean their heads, nor does it mean their faces.

-‐ Therefore, starting from the neckline and going downwards in a woman’s body, she should be wearing clothing that shows her body as one piece, without being able to distinguish any part from the other, so that whoever looks at her body in this state cannot make out any distinction concerning her body



parts, and that would be because she would have fulfilled the command in the verse “hit their veils to cover their pockets”, so since she has here ‘hit’, this means that she has concealed the showing of one thing and from its opposite.

-‐ So for example, this area is a ‘pocket’ to the human being; this area is going inward like you can see, while the actual human being is protruding (extending) to the outside, so when the human being ‘hits his veils on his pockets’, then we won’t be able to distinguish between the hidden areas from the visible ones

-‐ God says “and they do not show they adornment”, “and they should hit their veils upon their pockets”, and then he said a verdict that is complementary to the previous verdict, what did he say?

-‐ He said, and “they are not to show their adornment” (and here he is referring to the latest adornment that was mentioned), which adornment that is? Let’s agree on something: we already mentioned: the first level of adornment is the ‘Revealed Adornment’ which is the head and the hands (a human being’s head and his/ her hands, and especially the woman; this is the ‘Revealed Adornment’. Then there is the next level of ‘Shown Adornment’ which starts at the neckline and goes downwards



in the woman’s body, if we look closely and ask: what does ‘shown’ mean, shown here means that it can show even if the woman covered it with clothes, it will show somehow

-‐ What is the difference between ‘reveal’ and ‘show’? let’s say now I got a piece of cloth, and I put it on my hand, so with the cloth covering my hand, you will not be able to make out if this is my hand or a piece of wood, in that way what have I done? In that way, my hand, nothing has been revealed of it. This is where I have a cloth covering my hand, so the difference between my hand and a piece of wood would not be apparent. In that way my hand was not revealed, and was not shown, both of them are fulfilled (not revealed and not shown).

-‐ However, if I got the cloth, wrapped it around my hand so that it shows its shape, in that case, my hand would actually be concealed (not revealed), but its shape is ‘shown’ through the cloth that is wrapping it, this is when something is ‘shown’, so in that case my hand is shown. Therefore, ‘shown’ means it is obvious and clear even if it is actually not physically revealed

-‐ Okay: God says “and they do not show their adornment (the 2nd one)”, “other than to their husbands (a woman’s husband)”, her father, and the verse lists all her surrounding



direct relatives: this is which adornment? The ‘Shown Adornment’

-‐ A woman’s nature is that as soon as she enters her home, when she would be wearing clothes that are covering her body, she starts loosening and reducing the clothes that she is wearing, because of the ‘settlement’ nature of being at home

-‐ God here gives her a verdict for loosening and reducing the clothes at home, by saying “and they do not show their adornment (the 2nd one, which starts at the neckline and goes downwards – and which includes the area of ‘pockets’ that we have talked about)”, the verse continues, other than their husbands, or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, and this includes 12 categories of people that God gives her permission to loosen her clothes in front of, in that sense: she can reveal her ‘Shown Adornment’ in front of them.

-‐ But that same level of adornment, cannot be ‘shown’ to other than those 12 categories of people, which means, a woman cannot wear on her chest clothes that ‘show’ and I am not saying ‘reveal’, because ‘reveal’ would mean that she actually physically reveals her chest area, but when we say ‘show’ it means embodies. So God the almighty tells us that this beauty or this adornment is allowed to be ‘shown’ around those 12



categories of people, so this is the 2nd type of adornment, which is called ‘Shown Adornment’.

-‐ Then God the almighty started talking about the 3rd level of adornment, which we call the ‘Private Adornment’. God says “and they are not to hit with their legs so that it is known what they are hiding from their adornment”, this is now the 3rd level of adornment, and it is the one that carries the strictest verdict, and this is the adornment that is strictly for her husband, and not for the fathers and not for the sons, etc., NO, this is a private level of adornment, and private just for the ‘settlement partner’: the Quran says: “Your wives are a cultivation for you”, and it also says “they are your clothes and you are their clothes” (meaning that spouses are each other’s clothes).

-‐ So this 3rd level of adornment is called the ‘Hidden Adornment’: let’s look again at when God says “and they are not to hit with their legs so that it is known what they are hiding from their adornment”, the word ‘hiding’ is used here because this type of adornment is hidden inside and not shown, and it cannot simply be shown through any types of clothes, unless the woman showed it intentionally.



-‐ So this is the 3rd verdict, God says “and they are not to hit with their legs so that it is known what they are hiding from their adornment”, so now what is meant by “hit with their legs”? Our ancestors have understood that this is referring to the woman wearing an anklet (ankle-‐bangle) so she would shake her leg and the anklet would be heard, and they said some things like that which are not right at all, and cannot logically be God’s words.

-‐ So what is meant by “and they are not to hit with their legs so that it is known what they are hiding from their adornment”? The woman should be wearing on her legs, something that does not show the distinction between the 2 legs. We know that men wear pants, and when a man wears pants, both his legs are distinguished from each other, so you would know that this is his right leg and this is his left leg, and you can see the space in between them. Even when a football player shoots the ball between his legs, they consider it an insult, as to how could he let the ball pass between his legs? This is in football, and they do consider it an insult to the man, as to how could you allow the ball to pass through between your legs?! Because the legs are shown here and distinguished from each other



-‐ Now when it comes to the woman, God sent her a verdict specifically for this area of ‘Hidden Adornment’, and what did he say? ““and they are not to hit with their legs”, what does “to hit with their legs” mean? If you are a woman: Beware! Beware, never wear clothing on your legs that shows them and distinguishes between your two legs, and why is that? This means never wear pants, never wear shorts, in front of people, never wear anything that distinguishes the right leg from the left leg

-‐ Why? Why “and they are not to hit with their legs”? Why? God says “and they are not to hit with their legs so that it is known what they are hiding from their adornment”, so when a woman wears pants or shorts or anything that distinguishes her right leg from her left leg, what happens? The area of ‘Hidden Adornment’ becomes known, and this is the ‘cultivation area’ which is private specifically and solely for the husband.

-‐ So when a woman wears something that violates the simple verdict at the end of this verse, so that it is “known what they are hiding from their adornment”, “and repent to Allah, all of you”

-‐ So, we are talking about 3 levels: Now I want us to talk (logic), now that we have understood that Quran verse, so it is time I



talk to you with logic and quite frankly and openly: What are the areas that excite a man? I am not asking about the areas that attract his attention.

-‐ What attracts a man’s attention, and what makes him feel that she is a woman that has adornment is actually her face, the woman’s head, so he sees her as a beautiful human being,

-‐ A face of a human being shows his/ her beauty, whether s/he does it willingly or not, that is why this is called ‘Revealed Adornment’, which is the face and the head in general, so the head of a human being is ‘Revealed Adornment’, and specifically if a woman is beautiful she will look beautiful, through her ‘Revealed Adornment’, whether she chooses to or not

-‐ Saying that, we all know that it is not the face or the head or the hands that will get the man’s original instinct excited – and here I am not talking about those who have corrupted hearts, cause those who have corrupted hearts are not normal people and those will be the exception, so I am not talking about the exception, I am talking about the normal man and the normal woman, we will talk later about exceptions -‐



-‐ So originally, a man does not get sexually excited by a woman’s head, and not even by a woman’s hair, and not even by a woman’s face, and not even by a woman’s hands, because they are both the same, their heads are the same, and their hands are the same, there is no difference between them because this is ‘Revealed Adornment’ as explained before.

-‐ Then when does a man get excited? As soon as we go down from the head to the ‘pockets’ area, so from a woman’s chest area downwards, God has put there in a woman: Energy that moves the man, that is God’s creation which he made

-‐ And that is why, we see that in the verse, God put a certain verdict to the area above the neck, and as for the area from the neckline and downwards God gave it another legislative verdict completely, which is the verdict of the ‘Shown Adornment’ where the woman is to completely conceal it as long as she is outside, and as soon as she is home, she can loosen up her clothing, considering that this is her place of settlement.

-‐ & God also specified the 12 types of people in front of whom she can loosen up. Since it is not logical that if they had a visitor coming over, and just because a woman is in her home (her settlement place) it means she can show her ‘Shown



Adornment’, NO: remember that God specified the 12 types of people who are the exception to this, even if the woman was in her home she needs to take care of her ‘Shown Adornment’ so that she “hits her veils on her pockets” in front of whoever is outside the classification of those 12 types of people, even if she was in her home.

-‐ So, like we have just seen, talking from the logical and natural level, and like we already know, the original area in a woman’s body that excites a man is from the neckline (where the ‘pockets’ area starts) downwards. & this is because Allah the almighty has placed a totally different kind of energy in these areas, which is different from the energy in the head area.

-‐ Therefore, if we want to divide the subject to 3 levels: the interdiction regarding the head area is non-‐existent, because this is the area that corresponds to the identity of the human being, as the ‘head’ area is the area of the identity of a person, and please notice that I am not saying the area of the ‘face’, I am saying the area of the ‘head’: so the whole ‘head’ area has the identity of the human being, that is why there is no ban or interdiction pertaining to this area, so remember what we said about the verse “and they do not show their adornment, other than what has been revealed”, so we acknowledge that this is



an area that is always revealed, willingly or not, and in addition to that, it does not even possess any lust energy

-‐ Now let’s take the 2nd area in a human being which is from the chest area downwards, this is the area of ‘Shown Adornment’: here the feminine energy is higher and bigger, so God gave it another legislative verdict

-‐ And then when you go down further, here u will reach the area of special and private energy of a female, and this belongs to her husband only, and this is called ‘Hidden Adornment’, that is why the level of interdiction within this area is higher and the verdict there is stricter, let’s look again at the verse where God describes it “and they are not to hit with their legs so that it is known …”, so God is stressing on that it should not even be known what is beneath there

-‐ So when a woman is wearing a skirt or something that is concealing her entire lower body, in this way, it won’t be even known where the gap between her legs is, and this is the core of the meaning of “and they are not to hit with their legs so that it is known what they are hiding from their adornment”

-‐ What actually happens is as follows: what I have explained is the logic and it is our instincts and it is Gods words to us; what



actually happens is, you find there are the women who are dodgers upon the religion of God and the law of God, ignorantly so or deliberately, God knows,

-‐ Such a woman, when you look at her, you see her covering her head so very firmly, you would say to yourself: What righteousness and enlightenment are filling her face, so you will see her covering her hair so dutifully so that you cannot see even any single hair coming out of her scarf, and then that same woman will be wearing clothes that are so tight that they are completely embodying her from the neckline downwards, so that all her body details are shown!

-‐ So this woman’s ‘Shown Adornment’ will be actually ‘shown’, and in addition to that, her ‘Hidden Adornment’ in this case follows ‘known where it is hidden’: like we explained, the ‘Hidden Adornment’ should be hidden so that it cannot be seen and no one would know where it is, but in her case it became well known since the distinction between her 2 legs is clearly shown.

-‐ The reasoning behind this is that this woman is doing so to please Allah from above (her head) and to please his servants from beneath (her chest area downwards)



-‐ The question that should be asked to women here is: do you think that this way you are doing the right thing, and that God wants you to please him from above (by putting your headscarf so firmly) and to please his servants from beneath (by wearing such tight clothes on your body)? (OR) doesn’t it make sense that God will be primarily pleased when you conceal what is beneath the neckline and reveal what is above (your head)? Because it actually does not have any legislative verdict, right or not?

-‐ When I personally see any woman walking down the street and presenting this phenomenon, or when I see any such pictures or any woman who is presenting this phenomenon, I think to myself that she is poor in her understanding; as she understood that all her body is to be treated normally and God the almighty from above the seven skies, all his problem is her few hairs that are on her head! Her understanding is that all God’s objective and the law of prohibition are upon her few hairs on her head! But the rest of her body, no problem!

-‐ What jurisprudence are you talking about? Which legislation are you mentioning? This is not legislation and this is not jurisprudence and this is not God’s religion, him the almighty



-‐ I’m talking to you oh Muslim woman, my Muslim sister, if you really fear God with yourself, I urge you to remove whatever is on your head and cover with it your chest area, and cover with it the area between your legs so that your legs cannot be distinguished from each other, and so that your chest area is not apparent and its shape cannot be known, this is actually God’s law, not covering your hair and showing your body!

-‐ And the thing is, you as a woman know that very well, you know very well what guys actually look at: your hair will not change anything in men/ guys, my question to you is: why are you covering your hair all that much and at the same time you are showing your body underneath your head? It is because you know and you consent and you sense what attracts a man, and this what attracts a man, that God has sent his verdict upon, he did not send his verdict upon your hair, so we will not fool God, nor will we deceive God

-‐ When you cover your hair you please your father, and by father here I mean the society, so that when people look at you they praise your respectfulness and well manners by saying wow she is a veiled woman. No my sister, this is not religion and this is not being veiled and this is not the legislation, but this is deceit, it is deceit and cheating, and this is also fooling yourself,



and trying to fool God the almighty, and we know that nobody can fool God the most glorious.

-‐ And I will add something here: one of the signs and evidences that this concept is false is that as soon as you as a Muslim woman travel abroad to the western world, they tell you to remove the cloth on your head, and your reaction would be “how can you tell me this? I am protective upon my religion, and I sacrifice my body and my parents for you my beloved religion!”

-‐ So you are ready to sacrifice yourself for your religion, just for this piece of cloth that you are putting on your head, while all your body is showing, so you consider that your head and headscarf is your religion, but what is beneath is not your religion or anything of that sort!

-‐ And from here you start accusing the western world that it is offending your religion, and fighting you because of your religion, and hates you because of your religion, and that they are anti-‐Islam and anti-‐Muslims, while the main issue here is that you have lied a very big lie upon yourself

-‐ Let’s now talk about the headscarf issue, and the western world issue, and what is the story behind them: let’s now get



to the problem that the Muslim women are facing in the western world: the Muslim woman comes out of her Arabic society, or even when a woman from the western world becomes a Muslim, the first responsibility they make her hold is veiling her hair, and they convince her that ‘oh sister, come on and wear your veil, which is your moderation and purity, and this is what makes you precious and honorable in order to preserve your dignity and your religion and cleanliness’ and such talk.

-‐ So from here, the Muslim woman starts to take this ‘form’, the ‘look’ of the headscarf which raises sensitivities in non-‐Muslims, and truly, if we look around the globe, look at the Indians: Indian women, their hair is uncovered, Chinese women, Japanese women, Korean women, Russian women, European women, American women, Brazilian women, African women, all humankind, women with uncovered hair, who is the only woman, whose hair is covered? The Arab woman, and specifically the Muslim woman, so with this she became distinctive, distinctive from the rest of the world with this ‘look’

-‐ As soon as this woman, whether she is an Arab or not, as long as she is a Muslim woman, as soon as she puts that headscarf – which has nothing to do with God’s religion, and even the face



veil, and the face veil with its current form is a fad that got included in God’s religion -‐

-‐ By the way: if we look at the 4 known jurist scholars, namely: Al Shafei and Malek and Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Abu Hanifa; three of them said a woman must put the headscarf, and one of them said a woman must cover her face with a veil, so after that many scholars followed the lead of the fourth guy, and this way, the 3 others were perceived as lenient

-‐ Look at how the Arab culture (the masculine culture that we live in) tends to lean towards the principle of narrowing and restricting: since there are 3 renowned scholars who said a woman is to wear a headscarf to cover her hair, so with this verdict they have narrowed and restricted upon her the head area, they would think, how can you as a woman have your head and hands shown? No, we want to eat away half of them!

-‐ Imagine this pen, if you want to cover it, you won’t cover it from here (up) and reveal it from here (down), No, what you will actually do is cover it vertically like that where you cover one of the sides and show the other! What kind of strange thinking is that! Because if we talk in the world of logic and engineering, when you want to cover something which is vertical, you cover it vertically not horizontally, for example,



here is the pen; do you want to cover it? Do you want to cover a part of it? You can cover half of it, where you can choose to cover the upper part or to cover the lower part; that is if you want to cover it, but is it logical that you cover the pen vertically? For example you cover its right half vertically by getting an adhesive tape and covering this side where the other side (half) shows! Which mind and which logic and which religious reasoning will make you think that?!

-‐ Did God the almighty make this part of the head (the back of the head) an area that excites men – and I’m talking here to the scholars who prohibited showing the head, or prohibited showing the hair to be specific -‐ and at the same time the front of the head an area that does not excite men?!

-‐ Seriously, you feel that there is something missing here, you feel there is something that has been missed by those scholars and those who have invented this Islamic jurisprudence – which needs to be entirely demolished so that they kneel back to Allah the almighty and his original words -‐.

-‐ I want to tell you something: I swear to God, I swear by the lord of glory, If the Shafei had known, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal, & Malek & Abu Hanifa, the 4 Imams; if those 4 imams had known the correct explanation of that verse that we have just



explained, the verse of “and they do not show their adornment …”, I swear to God if those imams knew the correct explanation of this verse and they actually sought the truth, they would have given up their jurisprudence

-‐ But God knows: whether it did not reach them, or they did not know, or they did not ponder it, this is not our issue and non of our business, cause the verse is clear, so if they did not know it, it is okay this is the maximum knowledge they could reach, hopefully God has guided them according to their own lifetime and their own circumstances

-‐ But I swear to God that whatever they have said is far away from this holy book, I swear by the Lord of the Kaaba that the jurisprudential verdict that came out as the words of the 4 renowned imams does not have any basis whatsoever from the Quran – and this is the book of Islam, and not anything else!

-‐ And as a Muslim woman, you are free to follow the words of the scholars and jurists or follow the words of God: Now I want to tell you what God will show you if you follow the contrary of his words

-‐ As soon as (your majesty) started following the contrary of the words of God, and then went and traveled into the western



world, God the almighty starts filtering the legacies that have bred within your mind throughout the years, via a test that he puts you through; what is this test? He puts you in front of societies that possess the name (Alwase’: which translates literally to ‘the spacious’) within them

-‐ Please focus with me, so that you understand the nature of those societies that you are going to, and how they are working and how God is making them work, so that you stop being an extremist towards God and so that you know that the verdict that you are holding onto strictly is not by any means from God

-‐ The western world is operating with Allah’s name (Alwase’: which translates literally to ‘the spacious’): what does Allah’s name (Alwase’) mean? This is one of the names of Allah; don’t you worship Allah and strictly abide by his rules? Okay, then God is (wase’ = spacious)

-‐ What does (wase’ = spacious) mean? It means that the world is spacious, the possibilities are many, the subjects are numerous, the interpretations are spacious, instead of choosing my food only from the right, I can choose from the right or from the left, instead of eating meat I can eat fish, I can eat birds, I can eat vegetables: there is spaciousness, instead of living in a place which has an area of 1m X 1m I can stay in a



spacious apartment, instead of living in a spacious apartment I can stay in a villa; there is vastness on earth, there is vaaaastness in the universe, because God is (wase’: spacious) so he created his system with this vastness within it

-‐ In your case as a Muslim woman, you are going to Western societies (Europe & the States & Others), those possess Allah’s name (Alwase’: the spacious), what does that mean? It means that they believe in freedom. You know this freedom that they keep talking about? You know the democracy that they call for? They keep saying freedom and democracy and human rights, what does all that mean? This is spaciousness!

-‐ Freedom means they give you the space to exercise your freedom which means they broaden (extend) your space. So, instead of restricting you to wear certain clothes, you are left with a spacious area. So, pay attention to that: the western world operates through Allah’s name (Alwase’: the spacious).

-‐ Saying that: as soon as you as a Muslim woman go ahead and wear your headscarf or even your face veil, both of which have nothing to do with God’s words, consequently what will happen? Here all you have done is that you have limited your space; all the women around you will be walking around with their head (and hair showing), and remember: the problem is



not with the body, and no one from that world asked you to reveal your body, please focus with me, so that you do not wrongfully accuse any one or become intolerant to something that is not true!

-‐ The western world never ordered you to reveal your body! The western world did not remove your clothes from your body! The western world tells you ‘Your Head’ and it tells you ‘Your Face’: You have to think about this very well; it is as if it is a message to you from God through them, then why?

-‐ Because what you are doing is not God’s verdict. Because your head is like the head of the man. Do you have an extra eye for example? Your hair for example, does it contain some metallic material which the man does not have? Of course not, you are both the same! Thus, why this head cover?!

-‐ But as soon as we go from the neckline and below the differences between a woman and a man start occurring, so both of them are very different from the neckline downwards, and that is taken care of through the legislative verdict from God.



-‐ The western world will never come and tell you to reveal your body from your chest area and below! But the only thing it tells you about is your head

-‐ I want to give you an example now: let’s say I own a company, and it has 100 employees that work for me, all of them are hard-‐working, honest and trust-‐worthy, all of them have the same approach, and each one of them has his own office. Then one of the employees suddenly put up a curtain around his office. All the offices are visible, everybody can see everybody else, and this guy put a curtain around his own office, so that no one can see him, but he can see everyone. He did that claiming that he cannot work properly unless he is covered this way. Then, as their manager, I was going around their offices checking on them, and during my round, I find this one office out of a 100 other offices, that is surrounded by a curtain and no one knows what is going on inside! Will this appeal to me? Will I agree to keep it this way or not? Naturally and spontaneously and on-‐the-‐spot, I will NOT agree. Why? Because this way that office became against the whole system. The whole system is visible, the whole system is revealed, and the whole system is open. Then why would this office specifically put a curtain?



-‐ Knock knock knock, why do you have a curtain? What are you doing inside your office that you do not want us to see? Are you utilizing your office and your device for something that you do not want your colleagues to see? Is that the case? Why did you put up that curtain so that you became distinguished among others and hidden from those who are around you? Now the whole system will naturally turn against him, simply because he contradicted the system

-‐ And now that system that got contradicted, can we call it a tyrant system and that of dictatorship because of its reaction to this employee? No, since this is nature’s system, this is nature! So, what happened here took place because he has contradicted nature.

-‐ So the western world is living with freedom, which corresponds to Allah’s name (Alwase’ = the spacious), therefore as soon as you put on yourself something that limits your space, let’s say you were walking down the street covering your body well like Allah asked you to do, exactly like God asked you to do, and showing your hair, and you were abroad in the western world: will anyone tell you anything regarding your look? Will anyone even bother about your religion in the first place? NO. Will anyone of them watch you? The answer is ‘No’ simply because you are mingling with them as someone who is the same as



them, and here your body would be fully covered so you would be committed to God’s words

-‐ Now, as soon as you put a headscarf, aha! everybody starts looking at you: What you have done here is that you have restricted yourself and you have created narrowness and limitations around you, because you have distinguished yourself from the others, so eyes will all turn towards you: by doing this, you would have corrupted 2 of Allah’s names, which are (Alwase’ = the spacious) because you have narrowed; there was spaciousness but you chose to narrow it down by telling them ‘I am different from you’, by telling them ‘you belong to a certain category and I belong to a different category’; so this is the first thing you would have done i.e. messing up with Allah’s name (Alwase’ = the spacious) & the 2nd name that you would have lost is Allah’s name (Althaher = the apparent)

-‐ Let me tell you that as soon as you lose Allah’s name (Alwase’ = the spacious), meaning you narrow things upon yourself, since ‘the spacious’ means that all subjects are open upon each other, they are broad, so we cannot really distinguish between one and the other, since they are all open and airy and moving, until: as soon as I draw a line



-‐ So let’s say there are 2 women standing in front of me talking to me, and both of them with covered bodies, but one of them is covering her hair while the other one is showing her hair normally: That woman who is wearing the headscarf has actually drawn a line this way. What did this line do to her? This line actually narrowed the options of her belonging to so and so religion, originating from so and so culture coming from so and so country and following so and so mindset. So this is an act of narrowing.

-‐ So if she did not have that headscarf on (that line would not be drawn), dealing with the 2 women would be spacious

-‐ Remember that as soon as you draw the line, you are automatically narrowing the options, and therefore destroying Allah’s name (Alwase’ = the spacious) within you, the result will be that the whole of the western world, since you have lost the name that they operate with (Alwase’ = the spacious), will naturally cooperate to narrow things in your world and to limit the space around you

-‐ And your reaction will be: that you are surprised! & you ask yourself: ‘Aren’t those people the same people who call for freedom in every aspect? Then why are they not allowing me my personal freedom?’ you will keep asking ‘Aren’t you the



world of freedom and spaciousness? Then why are you narrowing things upon me?’ the answer is: it is because you have brought that narrowness upon yourself by exercising it

-‐ since those people are indeed believers in freedom and spaciousness; look at them, they would allow you to do whatever you want to do, even if it was something negative, you are allowed, even if you wanted to go pray in a mosque, you are free to do so, since these people are in reality living the freedom and vastness: they give you your broad space when you pray, no one will come and tell you do not perform your prayers! At the same time they give you your broad space if you would like to go for prostitution (on the other extreme), no one will tell you not to do so, so they have given you spaciousness in both extreme cases

-‐ So, stop accusing them of oppressing you and narrowing your space, and stop wondering how they can be such free and democratic countries and do this to you. Yes, they support freedom and democracy, but you as a Muslim woman who decided to draw that line, you narrowed your world and caused their spaciousness to close down on you because of your actions.



-‐ In conclusion, when a woman disables the name (Alwase’ = the spacious) within her, she is the one who causes her world to become narrow within the world that operates originally with the name (Alwase’ = the spacious), so here the woman would be bringing into her world all the narrowness that she cannot live with

-‐ Pay attention to this piece of information: whoever knows how to utilize spaciousness well, will be able to utilize narrowness well. For, whoever knows how to utilize something, knows how to utilize its opposite. From here, we say that since they are a society that knows how to utilize freedom (spaciousness) in its broadest sense, they would also know how to narrow things down on you, so no one will benefit you

-‐ Why? They are all servants of God and his creation, and stop living the thoughts of ‘the conspiracy theory’ and ‘they are anti-‐Islam’ etc., this is all not true. Stop lying to yourself which will make you live an oppressed life. God has nothing to do with all those personal judgments of yours.

-‐ So the first disaster that will happen to you, is that you have brought narrowness and siege upon yourself because you have lost Allah’s name (Alwase’ = the spacious)



-‐ The second thing like I’ve already mentioned: the western world is also living with the name (Althaher = the apparent), what does this mean? Everything is visible. Hollywood is theirs, they invented the cameras, everything that has to do with appearance, declaration and clarity, light and even electricity, illumination and lighting; everything that causes manifestations is the invention of the western world!

-‐ So these people are living with one of Allah’s names, Allah that you yourself worship, that is if you actually truly worship him: if you really worship Allah, you have got to acknowledge that one of his names is (Althaher = the apparent): those people are living with the name (Althaher = the apparent), so everything is apparent in their lives: the streets are apparent, satellites are apparent, screens, cameras, surveillance cameras, everything there in their world is apparent, so this visibility in everything also extended to a woman’s body which became almost entirely visible too – as part of living in an apparent world, now this is not our business, it is the western woman’s own choice to reveal her body, and at the same time, there could be a western woman who does not want to show her body details, it would be up to her and nobody will tell her anything for or against that, but this does not deny that their whole society has the trait of being apparent, so Allah’s name (Althaher = the apparent) is active for them.



-‐ Now, (your Excellency) will come to this world, which lives under the fundamentals and laws of appearance and clarity; everything is apparent and visible, nothing is hidden, nothing is unknown to the government, nothing is anonymous: everything is clear. Then you come along, and you start covering, and hiding and creating fences that hide you from them. What will happen?

-‐ Imagine you had an apartment, and you are cleaning it, so you are lighting the whole apartment to see clearly if there are any insects around it and to see if there are any mice in its corners, let’s say it was a deserted apartment and you have lighted the whole apartment, then you discovered a dark area in the apartment where the light is not reaching, and at the same time this area has a lot of old stuff inside it; wood and other cluttered stuff which you cannot make out, what will you do? You will keep trying to light it up, and the light is not reaching it.

-‐ As long as there is a portion within your system, where you have lighted your entire system and made it wholly apparent, that is refusing to appear, then you will immediately conclude that it is hidden because there is something inside it that is



against the whole system. The whole system will work in order to eradicate it.

-‐ Take care, if you are trying to hide a normal thing, something that is originally normal, I really would love to understand, what is wrong with your face?! Do you worship your face by any chance? Or do you by any chance worship your head? Do you worship God the almighty or do you worship your face? Cause your face is just like the face of a western woman! There is no difference whatsoever, what are you making a big deal of?!

-‐ Then as soon as you start hiding your face, and start hiding your head this way, they start asking questions – cause they originally live with everything visible and apparent around them – like, why is she covering? Why is she concealing?

-‐ Because in their logic, whoever conceals means s/he has something against all of us, like they say it could be bombings, and terrorism and violence and rape and theft and lots of other things, why? Because one of the signs of opposition is that everyone and everything is visible and somebody among the crowd will stand out as concealed, indicating that s/he has a problem



-‐ Therefore, when you conceal yourself as a woman, then you are opposing their system, and as a result you deserve what will happen to you. In addition to that, what you are doing has nothing to do with God and his religion.

-‐ Even now I want to talk about a legislative verdict, which you may have not paid attention to before, and the scholars have also interpreted it falsely: we have already explained that the western society lives based on the principle of appearance and visibility so everything in their life is visible. Furthermore, the industrial revolution and the visual revolution emerged from them, so it is inappropriate to have anything concealed, or else it will have a million question marks upon it and it will bring upon itself danger and narrowness.

-‐ Let’s assume now that there is a veiled woman (covering her hair or both her head and face) in an airport of a foreign country, what will happen to her? You will see that the entire airport is watching her, and do you think this is what God wants? Do you think God wants you to be in a place as a woman with all eyes on you and monitoring you? Is this where following God’s law should lead you to?

-‐ God says in his holy book “and he has not imposed any embarrassment/ awkwardness on you in his religion”, this



means that God’s religion does not allow the Muslim or the believer to even just get embarrassed not even a bit. Look closely at God’s laws and you will know that God’s religion will never embarrass those who embrace it correctly. & therefore if there is any legislative verdict that is causing you any embarrassment, you should automatically know very well that this has nothing to do with God’s religion.

-‐ So remember the verse: “and he has not imposed any embarrassment/ awkwardness on you in his religion, it is the sect of your father Abraham”, other than that, you will get embarrassed and you will feel awkward, and things will get narrowed down on you and you will feel lots of difficulties, and you will feel that you are in contradiction with everything

-‐ Okay, I was to state the legislative verdict that I have just mentioned, and which has to do with drawing attention. God the almighty has mentioned in one of the verses of the Quran the issue of clearly showing a woman’s face so that she gets recognized. God says in that verse “Oh Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers …”: looking at this verse, we can see that it is addressing all women, so it is addressing the prophets wives and his daughters and the women of the believers, so my episode that I am currently doing right now is an application of this verse:



today’s episode is an application of this verse that I have just mentioned

-‐ I am not here to call for anything, but I’m here to make sure I apply one of Allah’s verses of the Quran.

-‐ So, let’s go back “Oh Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves part of their clothing”: Why? The verse continues “that is the least required so that they will be recognized so they won’t be hurt”

-‐ The way the Muslim scholars have interpreted this verse was: I see, they said, the woman is ordered to cover her whole self including her face, so that she protects herself from being hurt by anyone, as nobody will be able to hurt her this way! So they mean that no one will be able to harass her or anything of that sort, because she is fully covered! And they went on to say things like, being veiled is chastity and purity and it prevents bad things from happening! In reality: harassment only exists in the countries where headscarves and face veils prevail! Are we going to fool ourselves? We all know that!

-‐ Let’s understand the real meaning of this verse: God says “that is the least required so that they will be recognized so they



won’t be hurt”. What is the difference between getting ‘hurt’ and getting ‘harmed’? What is the difference between hurt and harm? Hurt is usually psychological, while harm is physical.

-‐ Now when the woman is covering her head and her face, let’s say she is covering her head or her face, what happens? She gets hurt psychologically, obviously not physically, for example, when a woman is veiled, what will they do? They will stop her here and pull her there, then take her somewhere else and try to remove her veil or ask her to remove it, etc. This is called ‘hurt’. This is not harm; because harm is when someone actually physically hurts her, for example, an attack, a wound, hitting, killing, these are the type of things we can call ‘harm’, whereas the ‘hurt’ is psychological like I have just explained.

-‐ God in this verse is asking the prophet to tell his wives and his daughter and all the women believers to (the actual command is) “bring down”; what does “bring down” mean? It means ‘lower’ (verb), you know, it comes from upper and lower.

-‐ When the scenario here is that a woman is putting her clothing starting from up above her head like that. To ‘bring down’ is to – let’s imagine she has this big piece of cloth starting from her head and going downwards, exactly like they actually do these days – God here is asking them to ‘bring down’ which means to



lower this piece of cloth down from the head, and keep bringing it down like that – let’s imagine that this big piece of cloth that the woman is wearing (this big piece of garment) has a head opening above it. In real life now, what a woman does is she keeps this piece of cloth on her head as it is, and she would make two holes for her eyes so that she can see through them, for example.

-‐ So here the expression “brings down” means she should keep lowering and lowering and lowering that piece of cloth, God says “to bring down over themselves part of their clothing”, okay what will be the result then? When she keeps lowering until she reaches her shoulders here? The result, as per the verse, will be “that is the least required so that they will be recognized so they won’t be hurt”.

-‐ Which means: when a woman is recognized with her distinguished head, she does not get hurt. The actual meaning does not have anything to do with harming her or harassing her like most of the scholars said. But it simply means that she does not get hurt.

-‐ Now in reality what happens nowadays is that the Muslim woman violates this verse. So the Muslim woman in the western world that is getting exposed to being hurt in different



ways and to being oppressed and to the watchfulness of the eyes of people around her: I swear by the lord of the Kaaba, it is because she is violating this verse.

-‐ & then she starts saying, I am being hurt as you can see, and I am being hurt in my religion and because of it. I am stressing here that, NO, this is not right, No my sister, Allah has sent you this verse, so that you avoid getting hurt! And remember ‘hurt’ is only psychological harm, while ‘harm’ refers to being physical.

-‐ Now that is another important point: remember that God did not send his verdict only to the wives of the prophet, but he sent it to all women of the believers.

-‐ I repeat the verse quickly: “to bring down over (lower) on themselves part of their clothing that is the least required so that they will be recognized”. What does this mean? This means that recognizing a woman and knowing her identity is actually a ‘legitimate goal’

-‐ When you are standing and meeting people, it is a “legitimate goal” for you to know their identities. & it is surely against God system to have people with unknown identities.



-‐ God created many creatures: Lion, elephant, ant, bee, camel, human being, animal, bird, etc. Did God create any creature with an obscure, unknown, or unclearly shown head/ face?

-‐ Notice that all animals have their faces advanced forward and visible, why is that? Because being able to recognize any creature from its head and its face is something that agrees with God’s system of creation.

-‐ So when God sends you a verse telling you that it is a must that you get recognized as a woman from your head and face, so that you do not get hurt, here God is telling you how to agree with his system, because the person who he will send to you and who will hurt you since you are unknown to him/ her, that person is also agreeing with God’s system, so don’t fool yourself: the person who cannot see your head and cannot see your face and is trying to hurt you in order to know your identity: it is his/ her right! Because you might as well be against the whole system, and for him/ her you are something ambiguous.

-‐ That is why God sent you, as a woman, this verse so that you do not face any embarrassment, and he tells you “that is the least required so that they will be recognized so they won’t be hurt”.



-‐ & now let’s get into the word “recognized”, this word’s letters in Arabic comes from the word “known”, it means the woman should be “known”.

-‐ So when you are for example, as a woman, standing in an airport, what is ‘known’ in the airport is that all the women are apparent and known and one can recognize them, except for one person that has something strange going on, this person would have gone out of the prevailing system of ‘the known’, so that they are no longer known and no longer distinguished: what is this concealed head? Who is that person and what are they up to? This way you would have exited the ‘known system’ so the natural consequence will be that you ‘get hurt’

-‐ And then God teaches us “and they urge to do the right thing “, what I am doing right now with you in this episode is considered what? Of course the scholars who are living in violation to the rules of Allah, and compliance with the rules of their ancestors, will start accusing me that I am diverting you away from the Islamic law, whereas I am urging you to do the right thing my sister, and I am asking you to do the thing that prevents you from getting hurt, not on the contrary asking you to do what will hurt you and turn around on you the system that God created



-‐ The strict and inflexible group that are still living in the depth of the wells, and they think they are complying with God’s rules; they are actually complying with the rules of their fathers and their ancestors. So beware, as a woman, the rules of their father and their ancestors will not benefit you in any way.

-‐ Therefore, to ‘urge to do the right thing’ means whatever we are urging people to do must be something ‘known’ (it has the same root of the Arabic word ‘to know’) and clear and apparent and it is not violating the system, meaning it is not an odd exception with abnormality.

-‐ And then I would like to tell you, when you travel as a Muslim woman around the world, you do see a lot of women from the western world who are very respectable and wearing decent clothing in all her body, so all her body would be decent but her head is showing because her head is her identity, as the head of a woman, or even the head of a human being, or even the head of a creature is its identity, so those groups of people who try to divide the head and cover the head are people who are trying to hide the identity, those are people that have a problem, a big problem, and furthermore they oppose the divine system of God and they oppose the global system, and



they oppose the instinctive system that God the almighty has put in place

-‐ So, these are the 2 names that a woman trying to wear a veil (head or face) violates. There is another name: Allah’s name (Alkabeer = the great). Some of the women now in the western world, stop their lives because of this issue, so the western world is providing you with accommodation, and a life, and easiness, and multiple options, and allowing you to exist on their land, and vast work opportunities, all these things are provided to you, which are a lot of things, and they even provide you with a place to pray (it could be a mosque) if you are studying in university; now let’s face it, if the western world is oppressing your religion, and your believing system and your Islam, then why would they provide you with a place to pray (or a mosque)?! A mosque that you can pray in when you are in your university premises

-‐ Also, when you are going into an airport and carrying a Quran in your bag, why would the western world allow you to enter into their country with the Quran? That is if the case was that they were oppressing your religion, and this is the thought that you are disillusioning yourself with.



-‐ The western world does not have a problem with your religion, and I am not defending anyone, I am just saying the right thing, the truth, which I want to make known to my Muslim sisters & brothers and the believers on the face of this earth, so that they stop being against everything and against themselves.

-‐ So the western world now is providing you with everything, as a Muslim woman, it is even providing you with a place to pray (or a mosque) within your university in your college, and it is allowing you to read your Quran and no one is standing in your way. & then your reaction will be that you leave all this and not pay attention it, and hold on to a tiny piece that has nothing to do with God’s religion, but let us take into consideration that you are assuming it is from God’s religion, and you start turning the world upside down and claiming that they are oppressing you and so on.

-‐ This way you will be destroying one of Allah’s names inside of you, which is Allah’s name (Alkabeer = the great). What does this mean?

-‐ Allah’s name (Alkabeer = the great) means: that veil, which we are talking about, is it a big issue? Or a small/ sub/ secondary/ trivial issue?



-‐ If you look closely at God’s words, you will find that all the taboos are very big. I am also saying this statement to the Western world: don’t think that the Muslim women who are being strict about the headscarf and the face veil are being very strict about something big! NO. This book that came down to us from God tackles very big matters.

-‐ For example: Do not kill, do not go close to filthiness (foul deeds), do not steal, do not commit adultery, utter justice, do not loot the money of the orphans, give the full measure and weight (balance correctly), do not consume people’s money in sin (in falsehood), do not utter forged speech:

-‐ This book: All the matters and issues it tackles are big ones; big ones: and those issues it tackles, like: do not kill and do not go close to foul deeds, nobody will tell you anything about, which means that the western world will not tell you that you have to go and do a foul deed for example, nor will it tell you that you must go kill someone!

-‐ I have a question for you: You as a Muslim woman do not drink alcohol, isn’t this from the Islamic law? Yes it is; did anyone from the western world ever tell you that you are obliged to drink alcohol?! Of course not. You also do not eat pork; isn’t this from the Islamic law? Yes it is; again, did any of them



oblige you to eat pork?! No, no one ever did that! Okay, you do pray at certain times during the day; did anyone ever tell you that you are not allowed to pray and force you not to perform your prayer? No, never happened, isn’t this from the Islamic law? Yes it is from the Islamic law. You also fast certain days spanning a specific period within the year, and during that time you do not eat from dawn until dusk, isn’t this from the Islamic law? Yes it is; did anyone of them ask you not to do it? No! Also, when you go to perform your pilgrimage (yearly duty of Hajj, which is to be performed only once or twice within a person’s lifetime), will any of them ever prevent you from traveling or tell you why are you going for Hajj? And when you are back from your journey possessing all the Quran books and the religion-‐related stuff, will anyone of the western world tell you ‘No’ you are not allowed to enter the country with these things that you are carrying? Isn’t this a religious law? Yes it is, then why don’t they prevent you from performing all those acts related to the Islamic law although they are clearly from the Islamic law?

-‐ So let’s enumerate the examples again: so, eating pork meat which you do not do is from the Islamic law and no one from them will prevent you from it, drinking alcohol is from the Islamic law and you do not do it and no one ever prevented you from your choice, your prayer is from the Islamic law and



no one prevented you from performing it, your fasting is from the Islamic law, your Hajj (pilgrimage) is from the Islamic law, all those things are from the Islamic law and no one from the western world has prevented you to follow them, and after all this, they only came to this part (the veil) and they are preventing you from it, so do you think the logical explanation to this is that they are showing enmity towards the Islamic law?! Are you fooling yourself? Or what?!

-‐ Here, like I have mentioned to you earlier, you are creating a problem in one of Allah’s names, which is (Alkabeer = the great), what does this mean? Allah’s name (Alkabeer = the great) refers to the great matters, all of them have passed normally, and all of them are allowed: being a Muslim woman, being able to perform your religious rituals, these are big things! And all of them are allowed! And no one can stand in the way of these things in the first place, since these are big things; will they for example be able to cancel the religion from face of the earth? They won’t be able to, because this is a big thing.

-‐ So, since they have allowed and passed all those big things, why should you hold on to a subsidiary, small detail – which originally has nothing to do with religion, but it has to do with society-‐related traditions that we grew up with -‐, you would



hold on to the tiny thing and in turn you destroy the overall big aspect

-‐ and I am warning here, that a Muslim woman who follows this path will have a very big psychological problem; firstly she will have the problem of isolation, and the problem of alienation inside herself, and living in internal conflict, in addition to the problem of destroying overall aspects – so that she destroys all big things in her life in return for something small;

-‐ Like for example, just a mere example, let’s imagine someone was supposed to give you a million dollars and a quarter of a dollar, so he was supposed to give them to you, so what happens is that he actually gives you the million dollars and he did not give you the quarter of a dollar, so your reaction was that you stood and got strict about it and you made a big issue and a big fuss and you created a conflict and you informed the media etc., so in this example, the person gave you the big significant thing and did not give you a tiny piece (quarter of a dollar). In consequence, the person said, okay, since you did all that, give me back he million dollars (and he took them back) and told you, ‘show me what you can do now, I am the decision maker here, not you, show me if you can do anything to get the money back!’. This is exactly what you have done as a Muslim woman.



-‐ This issue (the veil) is a subsidiary detail, it is very small, and it has nothing to do with God’s law, and remember what we said about God’s law: it can never lead the Muslim woman into any embarrassment or put her in any awkward situation, this is the true law of God. So, anything that puts you in an embarrassing situation, you are advised to immediately erase it because this will definitely not be God’s law.

-‐ Now, the last argument that veiled (head or face) women in the western world use: ‘this veil is a form of protection and preservation for me, and to protect my dignity and to preserve my purity’. My answer to them is: one of Allah’s names is (AlHafeeth = the Protector), and Allah has protected billions and millions of women on the face of the earth (Indians and Japanese and Koreans and Chinese, etc.): all those women are protected without having this means that you are talking about! What are they protected with? They are protected with the ‘self’; they are protected by the ‘origin’, because the origin is in the body, not in the head.

-‐ Now, the woman who claims protection and connects it with her veil, this woman has begun to worship her veil, as this in itself became a god. Looking at it this way: As a Muslim woman: Having given up on the country that you are living in,



and having given up on the society that sheltered you and provided you with a job and provided you with work and provided you with capacity, having given up on all those things for the sake of the veil (headscarf or face veil) means that you actually worship that veil (headscarf or face veil) and that it has become a god to you which you are worshiping along with God (shirk = polytheism).

-‐ And God the almighty would not be pleased with any humiliation for you, or any obscurity or any of these things. Subsequently, you have involved with God a false god that the jurist scholars have created for you and they have called it ‘the veil’, and this is an issue of Polytheism that you must be very well aware of, since the western world would not mention it to you, they would not tell you that this is considered Polytheism (involving something or someone with God in the act of worship), the only thing they will tell you is ‘this is against our system’

-‐ We have, in one of our courses, for example, the course of ‘Immunization’, we have a group of courses about immunization (how a human being can immunize his/herself). There are tens of ways to immunize a human being – how to protect oneself, and protect one’s money and protect him/herself (his/ her body) and protect his/ her offspring and



protect his/ her home and protect everything, and also for the woman, how to protect her honor, and her dignity and her purity. Out of all those methods for protection and immunization, there is not even one way related to covering the head at all.

-‐ All the ways for immunization are actual acts that are performed by the person on his/ her blessing, but have nothing to do with the head. Therefore this notion of immunizing a woman via her head veil is a forged method that has not been mentioned anywhere in the principle of divine preservation that is pointed out in the Quran!

-‐ If a woman wants to preserve herself and her purity, yes there are ways to immunize those, it has ways in the Quran, there is an approach in the Quran for preservation, there is an approach for immunization, and we conduct courses to teach humans how to immunize themselves, but all those methods do not include that a woman should cover her head.

-‐ On the contrary, when a woman covers her head, she actually contradicts the principles of immunization since she covers something that should be visible, so she contradicts herself so she brings trouble onto herself, so you cannot call this



immunization, and it will be actually opposite to the immunization that you are looking for as a woman.

-‐ Now after all what we have said, there will arise a few subsidiary questions: somebody could ask me (a man or even a woman): all what you have said applies to the woman only in the western world or also in the Arab world? My answer to that question is: I have made this video for the Muslim women in the western world, which is a world that has greater vastness and greater appearance

-‐ Okay: the Arab world, is it the same as the western world? No, the Arab world is a world that has narrowed things down upon itself; their thoughts are a bit narrowed, they also have lesser appearance and manifestation from the western world, so the Arab world has less appearance and vastness than the western world.

-‐ Therefore, I have uttered what is right, I have uttered the truth. If you are now listening to me as a Muslim woman in one of the Arab countries: Here I have shown you the truth, as a consequence you have gotten convinced that the headscarf and face veil have nothing to do with God’s law, and you decided to remove them all of a sudden like that amongst people. In that case, what will you have done?



-‐ Doing that, you will have come out of the scope of the Islamic law and into the scope of the society that you live in. Whenever you go ahead and apply something, you need to check where you are applying it. Remember that the Arab society that you live in has a woman covering her hair as one of its known social traditions. Therefore, it is not a law in this society to cover a woman’s hair, but it is a traditional norm for them that women in general cover their hair. As for them, it is a form of social protection and preservation, this is as per them.

-‐ So, if you as a woman, now decided to uncover your hair and reveal it – I am not talking about your body, your body, like we have agreed, is supposed to be covered. If you revealed your hair in a society that is corrupted in the heart and which has a traditional norm where the woman must cover her hair, notice now that at this stage: you would have come out of the domain of the Islamic law and entered the domain of ‘going along with’ the society that you live in

-‐ So now if you revealed your hair in a society that is corrupt-‐hearted or something, you yourself can make out: definitely the woman who lives in the countryside is different from the woman who lives in the city, and of course the woman who



lives in the city is different from the woman who lives in the capital, and for sure the woman who lives in an open-‐minded Arab country is different from the woman who lives in an Arab country that is closed down upon itself. So, every circle that you live in, has its own system.

-‐ So by now you have understood where the Islamic law stands, and now you need to know where the society you live in stands, so after you have known the Islamic law well, you start ‘going along’ with the minds that are surrounding you. And you are not obliged to do so.

-‐ So now if you live in an Arab country, and you are wearing your headscarf, where you cover your hair, you have got to be aware of: Why are you wearing it? Is it because this is the Islamic law and you are obliged to do it? NO. You have got to be aware that you are wearing it because there are some sick-‐hearted people, so the hair for them – not for all the people but only for those sick-‐hearted people that you are living amongst, you will cover your hair in front of them, since they get excited by a woman’s hair (since they are sick-‐hearted, because originally a woman’s hair should have no such effect, but the problem is actually theirs).



-‐ So your solution in this case is just to go along with them, which means, as long as you are amongst them, cover your hair. But you have to be aware that you fundamentally can reveal your hair. The correct thing to say here is not ‘reveal your hair’, oh people the issue is not an issue of ‘the hair’, why did you divide the head in the first place into ‘face’ and ‘hair’? And you make a differentiation between this and that, whereas both of them are one! It is the same head! And you are dividing that head! What are you dividing?! You are dividing the head into what? It is only one intact head, whether it is hair or face.

-‐ I don’t know how they do this: they capture the woman and start dividing her into pieces! What’s wrong with you people? Let’s respect this creature a little bit! And let’s respect what God the almighty has authorized in his laws regarding the woman.

-‐ Now another woman will come out and ask me another question: ‘what about the prayers? When I perform my prayers I wear the headscarf”. My answer to you is this: what a secondary verdict comes out, and they start intensifying the evidences for it, and in turn they will start creating a lot of secondary evidences based on it.



-‐ Look at exactly what they do: they came up with a secondary verdict (like the verdict of the headscarf or the face veil, it is a verdict, and they have come up with it), and they get asked: Where is your reference from the Quran for this verdict? (From the Quran).

-‐ Because the prophet – May peace be upon him -‐, even when he used to acknowledge the veil among his people, it used to be due to the nature of his society which used to be like that. Beware, this also involves the society-‐based traditional norm, since there in that society if the woman reveals her hair, it will be exciting to men, but that is only within this specific society, and not when it comes to humans on the face of the earth.

-‐ Therefore, the prophet had 2 issues that he was tackling simultaneously: the issue of the Islamic law that comes from the Quran, which is immense, as well as the issue of the society he lived in, which had some reservations that he had to take into consideration.

-‐ Because also God has ordered us to take the society reservations into consideration.

-‐ So the conclusion is that, you as a Muslim woman: yes you will reveal your head when you are in the western world, but if you



are in the Arab world, you should also take into account the feelings of the people living around you, while you are aware that all you are doing is taking their society reservations into consideration and Not implementing the Islamic law. So it is all about considering the community that you are in.

-‐ The prophet – May peace be upon him – used to take into consideration the social community and at the same time he used to surely consider the Islamic law. That is why when his social community came up with the face veil, he refused it and told them ‘NO, do not wear face veils’ and a Quran verse came down that opposes the social community and told them NO about it!

-‐ The verse: “tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves part of their clothing that is the least required so that they will be recognized”, so when the Arab community became even more reserved when it comes to a woman where it came to impose an exaggerated level of reservation to the extent that her face was concealed, here came down a Quran verse that stopped them right there and told them ‘No, please No, up until this limit and it is enough, you cannot exceed that’, so yes it was acknowledged that they were a bit reserved so that they made a woman cover her hair and that was fine, so their reservation



and their social decency were taken into consideration, but this should not reach a level where you cross your limits and affect the identity of the creature which exists in the face.

-‐ So, you as a Muslim woman who is a believer, be wise, don’t also be like them by saying ‘I discovered that the veil is not obligatory so I’m going to remove it now’ and then you remove it and go walk down the streets and in front of everyone and in front of your father, this is not right at all

-‐ You should walk the path of Allah the almighty’s approach: safely, properly and gracefully, where you surely take into consideration God’s law and the vastness of the world as well as the society that you live in where you consider its reservations as long as you are living amid it

-‐ So, back to the secondary verdicts like (I pray with the headscarf, and all the verdicts that got built on the notion of the veil): My answer is in this Quran verse “Oh believers, don’t ask about some things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you”

-‐ If you will ask me about details that were built upon other details and subsidiaries that were built upon other subsidiaries, away from the overalls in the Quran, you will be disappointed.



-‐ I repeat: “Oh believers don’t ask about some things”: Did the Quran mention that? No it has not been mentioned; so the details that got built over details that were built over subsidiaries, if we get into them you will get disappointed, and it will distress you. So there is no need for it.

-‐ Because the believers tend to keep trying to elevate their questions to a level that could distress them. So let us not go there, and let us stick to the clear approach, the proper approach that we have learnt in today’s episode.

-‐ I will now bestow upon you a commandment, that I have fulfilled in front of God the almighty and in front of the Muslims in my society and in the whole world: the commandment is that: on my part, I have uploaded this video and I have brought out this information to you, and on your part I ask of you that every Muslim woman who wants to walk the right path should publicize this information to many of the Muslim women who live in the western world, and who are living among crises and problems and in the midst of psychological, social and legal conflicts because of this subject.

-‐ I bestow upon you the responsibility of distributing that video as much as you can, so that we can send the original message



that is extracted from Allah the almighty’s book in this regard. & I will see you in good terms in the next episode, and al salamu alaykum wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuhu.
