Islam teaches us to respect women as human beings, not as objects or mere appearances. The Quran says: “And We have certainly honoured the children of Adam...” (Surah Al-Isra, 17:70) This honour applies to all humans, regardless of gender or appearance. In Islam, relationships are based on mutual respect, modesty, and character, not superficial attraction or objectification. Rather than debating how to "objectify" or "subjectify" women, Islam encourages us to look beyond appearances and focus on taqwa (piety) and akhlaq (character) in our interactions. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best of you are the best to their wives.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 1162) True strength lies in respecting others and aligning our actions with dignity and compassion, not in dominating or demeaning anyone. Let’s rise above societal debates and follow principles that promote equality and respect.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. While the analogy of clothes and petals may reflect one way of looking at fashion, it’s important to recognise that women’s clothing choices often extend beyond attracting attention. As discussed in the video, these choices are deeply tied to self-expression, confidence, cultural influences, and personal identity. Viewing clothing solely through the lens of attracting others risks oversimplifying a complex and individual decision-making process. This conversation is an opportunity to explore these deeper motivations and foster greater understanding.

@RaqiSaeed agree with many of your Points. It's amusing to me that women Avoid the obvious intent of attraction Men with fashion.

@RaqiSaeed i accept the points you are making. But I have to laugh cuz women Stubbornly refuse to admit they are keen To attract Men with fashion .

Here’s a respectful and balanced reply: Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While it's true that some fashion choices may have the intent of attracting attention, it's important to remember that not all women dress with this purpose in mind. Fashion can also be a form of self-expression, cultural identity, or simply a reflection of personal comfort and confidence. Islam teaches us to focus on our own intentions and actions, as we are accountable for how we perceive and treat others. Instead of assuming intent, it’s more beneficial to approach everyone with respect and avoid making judgments solely based on appearances. As Allah says in the Quran: “Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.” (Surah Al-Hujurat, 49:13) This reminds us to value people for their character and deeds rather than outward appearances.

I appreciate your response and understand your perspective. While it may seem that some women use fashion to attract attention, it’s also important to recognise that not all do so intentionally. For many, fashion is a means of self-expression, cultural reflection, or simply a way to feel confident and comfortable. That said, Islam encourages both men and women to focus on modesty and intentions, reminding us that true value lies in inner character, not outward appearances. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Indeed, Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but He looks at your hearts and deeds.” (Sahih Muslim, 2564) At the end of the day, mutual respect and understanding go a long way in fostering meaningful interactions.

Yes, if the alcohol completely evaporates during baking and no intoxicating traces remain, the bread becomes halal, as transformation and removal of impurity are permissible in Islam.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your insightful questions! Let me address them one at a time. Why play the last part twice? The repetition was intentional. The last segment encapsulates the core message of the video, and repeating it aims to emphasise its importance for viewers who may have missed or not fully absorbed it the first time. However, I appreciate your feedback and will consider a more concise approach in future videos. Why start with only one religion in the Middle Ages when others were also causing damage? You raise a valid point. My intention was not to single out one religion but to explore historical events systematically. The Middle Ages served as a focal point because of its well-documented religious conflicts, which impacted societal structures profoundly. Other religions were certainly involved in significant events during this era, and I aim to delve into their roles in future videos to provide a more balanced view. This video sought to start a conversation about how religious and ideological motivations, when misused, have been exploited for harm across history, irrespective of the specific faith or culture. The idea is to reflect on the misuse of belief systems as tools of power or conflict rather than indicting religion itself. Thank you again for engaging with the content-your observations help improve the discussion and refine future work!

Thank you! 😊

So nice of you

Glad you think so!

Mahsha Allah! Just wait until you see my next video-it's going to be a whole new level of unique!

You’re absolutely right that many of the events mentioned were not purely influenced by religion. While religion was sometimes used as a justification or mobilizing force, the underlying motivations for many of these atrocities were often political, economic, or cultural. For example: • The Crusades had religious undertones but were also about territorial expansion and power. • The Holocaust was driven by racial ideologies and pseudo-scientific theories, not religion. • Stalin’s Purges and Mao’s Cultural Revolution were entirely secular, rooted in communist ideologies. This highlights that while religion can sometimes play a role, it is often intertwined with other factors. In many cases, religion is either co-opted by leaders to rally support or blamed retrospectively when the root causes are far more complex, such as power struggles, greed, or fear of dissent. A nuanced view is essential to understand these events holistically.

You're correct in noting that the Holocaust had strong ethnic and ultra-nationalistic motivations rather than purely religious ones. The Nazi regime's ideology, as outlined in Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf (1925), was deeply rooted in a racial hierarchy that targeted Jews as an ethnic group rather than strictly for their religious beliefs. This pseudo-scientific racial ideology framed Jews as a threat to the so-called Aryan race. It's also true that the Nazis caused immense suffering across Europe, targeting various groups beyond the Jewish population. Millions of Christians-both civilians and resistance fighters-were killed during the Nazi regime through bombings, forced labour, and systematic persecution. Groups like the Polish intelligentsia, Roma people, Slavs, and disabled individuals were also targeted, demonstrating the broader scope of the atrocities. What often makes the Holocaust stand out in discussions is the industrial scale and systematic nature of the genocide against Jews, which was uniquely planned and executed as part of the "Final Solution." However, it's important to recognise and discuss the broader context of Nazi crimes against all groups, including Christians, to ensure a more balanced understanding of this dark chapter in history. This inclusivity fosters a more comprehensive view of the atrocities committed under Nazi rule.

Thank you for watching. I do special request video on any subject.

Overcoming shyness and fear while talking with someone involves addressing both the emotional and behavioral aspects of these feelings. Here are some psychological strategies that can help: ________________________________________ 1. Understand the Root Cause • Reflect on the Source: Is your fear tied to a fear of judgment, past negative experiences, or low self-confidence? Understanding the root cause helps you address it more effectively. • Reframe Negative Beliefs: Replace thoughts like "They’ll think I’m foolish" with "This is an opportunity to connect and learn." ________________________________________ 2. Gradual Exposure (Systematic Desensitization) • Start Small: Begin with low-pressure situations, such as greeting a neighbor or chatting with a shop assistant. Gradually move to more challenging conversations. • Build Confidence: Success in smaller interactions reinforces your ability to handle bigger social situations. ________________________________________ 3. Practice Active Listening • Focus on the Other Person: Shift your attention from your fear to the content of the conversation. Listening actively can help you feel more engaged and less self-conscious. • Ask Open-Ended Questions: This keeps the conversation flowing and takes pressure off you to constantly talk. ________________________________________ 4. Build Communication Skills • Practice in Front of a Mirror: Observe your facial expressions and body language to become more comfortable with your presence. • Join a Group or Class: Public speaking classes, social skills workshops, or even casual meetups can provide a supportive environment to practice. ________________________________________ 5. Use Relaxation Techniques • Deep Breathing: Practice slow, deep breaths to calm your nervous system before and during conversations. • Grounding Techniques: Focus on physical sensations (like the feeling of your feet on the ground) to stay present and reduce anxiety. ________________________________________ 6. Challenge Perfectionism • Accept Imperfection: Conversations don’t need to be perfect. Making mistakes is normal and often leads to genuine, relatable interactions. • Celebrate Efforts: Acknowledge your progress, even if it feels small. ________________________________________ 7. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Techniques • Identify Cognitive Distortions: Thoughts like "I’ll embarrass myself" are often exaggerated. Challenge and replace them with realistic, positive alternatives. • Behavioral Experiments: Test your fears by engaging in conversations and observing the actual outcomes versus your initial fears. ________________________________________ 8. Seek Professional Help if Needed • If your shyness or fear significantly impacts your daily life or relationships, consulting a psychologist or therapist can be very beneficial. They can guide you through tailored strategies and provide a safe space to build confidence. ________________________________________ Practical Tips to Implement • Prepare Topics: Think of a few topics or questions before a conversation. • Visualize Success: Imagine a positive outcome before approaching someone. • Smile and Maintain Eye Contact: A smile can ease tension and help you feel approachable. • Accept Awkward Moments: Everyone has them; they’re part of being human. ________________________________________ By practicing these strategies consistently and being patient with yourself, you can gradually overcome shyness and fear, developing confidence in social situations. Remember, growth happens one step at a time!

Your point about globalization facilitating a natural exchange of morals and beliefs is valid, but it is essential to recognize that this exchange is not always neutral or purely voluntary. While it is true that during different historical periods, the most advanced civilizations have influenced others-such as the Arabic influence on Europe during the Islamic Golden Age-there's more to the story. In the current age of globalization, the dominance of Western culture is often tied to economic, political, and media power rather than just cultural superiority. The widespread adoption of Western values isn't always a voluntary cultural exchange but can be driven by the pervasive influence of Western media, economic systems, and political pressure. Historically, when the Muslim world was the center of knowledge and power during the Islamic Golden Age, many in the West, which was experiencing the Dark Ages, eagerly adopted various aspects of Islamic culture. This included science, architecture, mathematics, and philosophy, which were advanced by scholars in the Muslim world. This exchange was not just because the Islamic world was advanced, but because there was a significant transfer of knowledge facilitated by trade, translation movements, and scholarly exchange, not by imposing one culture over another. Today, the Western culture's dominance often comes through powerful global institutions and media, which can overshadow local traditions and values, sometimes leading to a loss of cultural identity. This influence can sometimes be perceived as cultural imposition rather than an organic exchange. Furthermore, the concept of "advancement" itself is subjective and can be defined in various ways-technological progress doesn't necessarily equate to moral or ethical superiority. Cultures evolve differently based on their unique histories, values, and circumstances. Thus, while cultural exchanges have always occurred, the context in which they happen is crucial to understanding the dynamics of power and influence. It's important to critically assess these exchanges and recognize the forces behind them, rather than viewing them as purely natural or inevitable processes.

@@RaqiSaeed I don't see the western strong media network overshadowing local cultures as imposition. In the end, that's just the extension of the current western dominance. There's nothing stopping local cultures and eastern countries from making media networks as big or even bigger than western medias and try to export their own culture. And local cultures are voluntarily leaving their old cultures for the western cultures. Yes western media does play a strong factor in this, but as I stated this is the natural way of advancement in the globalizing world. Additionally all dominant cultures overshadow native populations. The Arab culture during the Islamic golden age is also guilty of destroying mesopotamian, Egyptian, Persian and Berber cultures similar to how the west is doing now. I personally think this is all just the natural way of things and don't see it needing any resistance. As long as its not colonialism or forced cultural assimilation I think its fine.

@Lepumpkino As a social science psychologist, I recognize the complexities involved in the cultural dynamics you’ve described. While it may seem that the adoption of Western values by non-Western societies is a natural and voluntary process, the influence of Western media and cultural hegemony plays a critical role in shaping these outcomes. This is not merely an organic spread of culture but a phenomenon deeply rooted in power dynamics and historical context. 1. Cultural Hegemony and Media Influence: The concept of cultural hegemony, as articulated by Antonio Gramsci, explains how dominant cultures subtly impose their values on other societies. Western media, with its global reach and economic power, plays a significant role in this process. Scholars argue that this media dominance creates an environment where Western norms and values are promoted as the standard, leading to the internalization of these values by local populations, often at the expense of their own cultural identity (Storey, 2018). Reference: Storey, J. (2018). Cultural Theory and Popular Culture: An Introduction. Routledge. 2. Historical Context and Cultural Exchange: Comparing the spread of Arab culture during the Islamic Golden Age to modern Western cultural dominance is intriguing, but there are significant differences. During the Islamic Golden Age, there was a notable exchange of knowledge and ideas, characterized by mutual respect and enrichment. Arab scholars preserved and expanded upon the works of Greek philosophers, which later contributed to the European Renaissance (Al-Khalili, 2011). In contrast, the modern spread of Western culture, particularly through mass media, often results in cultural homogenization rather than a reciprocal exchange of ideas. Reference: Al-Khalili, J. (2011). The House of Wisdom: How Arabic Science Saved Ancient Knowledge and Gave Us the Renaissance. Penguin Books. 3. Psychological Impact on Identity: The overshadowing of local cultures by dominant Western media can have profound psychological effects. Research shows that individuals who experience cultural dissonance-where there is a conflict between their cultural values and those of the dominant culture-are at a higher risk of developing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression (Berry, 2005). This is particularly true for younger generations exposed to conflicting cultural messages through global media, leading to identity confusion and potential loss of self-esteem. Reference: Berry, J. W. (2005). Acculturation: Living successfully in two cultures. International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 29(6), 697-712. 4. Resistance and Cultural Resilience: Cultural resilience is an important concept in this context. While some may view resistance to Western culture as unnecessary, it is crucial for preserving cultural diversity. Cultural resilience refers to the ability of a culture to maintain its core values and practices while adapting to external influences, essential for the well-being of communities, particularly those historically marginalized or colonized (Ungar, 2011). Reference: Ungar, M. (2011). The social ecology of resilience: Addressing contextual and cultural ambiguity of a nascent construct. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 81(1), 1. 5. Ethical Considerations and Cultural Dominance: The ethical implications of cultural dominance cannot be overlooked. Edward Said’s work on Orientalism highlights how Western perceptions of the East have been shaped by a sense of superiority, leading to the marginalization and misrepresentation of non-Western cultures (Said, 1978). This not only distorts cultural understanding but also perpetuates inequalities on a global scale. Reference: Said, E. W. (1978). Orientalism. Pantheon Books. In conclusion, while cultural exchange is indeed a natural part of globalization, it is crucial to be mindful of the power dynamics involved. The dominance of Western media and culture should be critically examined, and efforts should be made to preserve and respect the diversity of local cultures. By doing so, we can ensure a more balanced and equitable global cultural landscape.

In today's globalized world, individuals naturally carry their cultural and religious identities wherever they go. However, the case of Islam often stands out due to its comprehensive ethical and moral framework, which transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. Unlike other religions and cultures, which may adapt or integrate into new environments, Islam maintains a steadfast adherence to its principles, regardless of the surrounding cultural context. This unwavering commitment to Islamic ethics and morality can sometimes be perceived as a challenge by other cultures and religions. The contrast between Islamic values-such as modesty, prohibition of usury, and strict dietary laws-and the more secular or culturally fluid practices of other societies often highlights differences that can make some feel threatened or defensive. This sense of threat is not necessarily about Islam itself but rather about the reflection it casts on the practices of other cultures. When compared to the comprehensive moral code of Islam, other cultural practices, especially those that prioritize individualism or materialism, may appear lacking in ethical rigor. This can lead to discomfort or opposition, as societies grapple with the implications of this contrast. Islam's comprehensive nature, encompassing all aspects of life-from personal conduct to economic transactions-sets it apart as a system that not only guides spiritual life but also prescribes a way of living that often contrasts sharply with the norms of other societies. This distinction can lead to a sense of unease or perceived threat, as it challenges the status quo and offers an alternative way of life that many find difficult to reconcile with their own cultural and religious practices.

The claim that Islam seeks to impose its religion and culture upon others by force throughout history is a common misconception that requires careful consideration and context. 1. Islam's Core Message: Islam's core message, as revealed in the Quran, is about guiding humanity to live a life that aligns with the will of Allah. It is not about imposing faith or culture on others. The Quran explicitly states, "There is no compulsion in religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong" (Quran 2:256). This verse emphasizes that faith must be a personal choice, free from coercion. 2. Spread of Islam Through Peaceful Means: Historically, Islam spread through a variety of means, including trade, intermarriage, and the peaceful efforts of missionaries, known as Sufis. Many people adopted Islam voluntarily because they were attracted to its values of justice, compassion, and equality. For example, Islam spread rapidly in regions like Indonesia and West Africa without the use of force, primarily through trade and the exemplary character of Muslim merchants. 3. Respect for Local Cultures: Islamic teachings emphasize the preservation of beneficial aspects of local cultures and traditions, as long as they do not contradict the fundamental principles of Islam. This is evident in the diverse expressions of Islamic culture across different regions, from the architecture of mosques in Spain to the intricate designs of the Blue Mosque in Turkey, reflecting the blending of Islamic values with local traditions. 4. Islamic Empires and Governance: It is true that like other civilizations, Muslim empires expanded their territories, sometimes through conquests. However, these actions were more about political and territorial expansion rather than religious imposition. Even within these empires, religious minorities such as Christians and Jews were allowed to practice their faiths and were often granted autonomy to govern their own communities under the protection of Islamic law. 5. Comparing With Western Colonialism: It is important to contrast this with the history of Western colonialism, where native cultures were often systematically destroyed or suppressed, and local religions were forcibly replaced with Christianity. The imposition of Western culture on colonized nations has had long-lasting effects, which are still felt in many parts of the world today. In contrast, Islamic governance historically allowed for a degree of religious and cultural plurality. 6. Western Influence Today: In modern times, the influence of Western culture is often seen as an imposition, especially in the global South. The spread of Western values, consumerism, and lifestyles through media, entertainment, and economic power can sometimes feel like a cultural imposition to those in non-Western societies. This phenomenon is not necessarily driven by a desire to destroy other cultures, but it can have that effect, leading to the erosion of local traditions and values. 7. Reflecting on Our Actions: While it's crucial to recognize and address the historical and modern complexities of cultural interactions, Muslims are taught to reflect on their own actions and intentions. Islam encourages self-examination and humility, not arrogance or the imposition of beliefs on others. The goal is to live by example and invite others to Islam through wisdom and good conduct, not through coercion or cultural domination. In conclusion, the narrative that Islam imposes its religion and culture by force does not align with the broader historical and religious realities. Islam, like other major world religions, has spread through a combination of peaceful means, personal choice, and, at times, political power. However, its teachings consistently emphasize respect for others, freedom of religion, and the importance of living a moral and ethical life based on the guidance of Allah.
