I liked the casualness of this chat:) it makes it more comfortable because it isn't intimidating. Most scholars or lectures say and yell to get their point across but this was a lot more digestible:) may Allah bless everyone who worked in this video:)
+JustJannah🌴💎 you are 100% agreed just by lisitining to N.A.K or have you checked the aya in the Quran and understood as it is suposed to be understood. because Allah command us in 25/73 not just follow any one blindly.
+A. Dawud Oh, sorry, thank you for explaining :). But i was not talking about agreeing with what NAK was saying or even the video in general. I was just "100% agreeing" with the fact that i thought he was a good speaker, in the way he portrays the message. Sorry if this was misunderstood :)
I reverted to Islam 12 years ago and only wore Hijab for the first time one month ago .Alhamdullilah Allah finally gave me Hidayat to put my Hijab Living in NZ and wearing it to work also I feel very blessed ❤️
Mashallah I always say revert too people look me funny but I just tell them we are all born Muslim under Allah only some like ourselves are the lucky ones who have reverted back to where we should be alhamdulillah
That’s cool. I also reverted, I used to wear it but took it off precisely for the things happening now, and for other personal reason. Is not easy but im glad you are!
His depth of understanding of the Arabic language is phenomenal! I had no idea "hijab" and "khimar" had those meanings. I'm surprised that people are confused about covering the hair. It's a new phenomenon in our modern times. I don't think this was ever a cause of confusion before. However, covering also does not mean you are more pious than someone else because it depends on what is in the heart. Covering in the West right now takes a lot of courage. Stay strong sisters and if you can't cover your hair right now ask Allah to make you strong so that one day you will be able to.
overcometv I think these men just want these words to mean cover up. These are men discussing how women should dress! Women think for yourselves. Also if you want to live in the West if you cover up you are actually insulting people like my late Grandmother who fought for women's rights. Yes in the 1920's one of those rights was women wear less hideous clothing. People today do not realise this. Freedom for women to go swimming, to vote, to say how many children they want etc. Not to be dictated to by men. God wants men and women equal. Hopefully you will understand my point and you can be still a great Muslim without being pressured by other people what to wear. Live a good live and do good deeds is the most important thing to reach the next life.
Mary Rose Dwyer if your grandmother fought for equal rights then she would've fought for women having a choice on what they wear. If they choose to wear a headscarf then I'm sure your grandmother would support it because it's their CHOICE to. It's not two men dictating what women should wear, it's in the Qur'an. Are you even Muslim?
Naz I don’t think she is. How rude of her to say this without realizing it’s not the slaves of the creator who are telling us to do this, it is Allah himself!
Assalam alaikum, I remember listening to an Islam in Focus show by Dr. Jamal Badawi in the 80's when discussing intoxicants in Islam and explaining that khamr comes from the root "khamara" meaning to cover one's mind or head; i.e. To cover one's mind or dull the mind from sensing something. It really hit me then khamr can apply not just to alcohol but any substance that dulls the mind or one's senses to one's surroundings. But the connection between khamr and khamise did not hit me (pun intended?) until tonight when I watched this video. Alhamduallah. 😊
+star hossain check out this for the whole explanation of why a woman should cover her hair. facebook.com/notes/rebecca-arefin/covering-the-head-for-women/10151642375968980?pnref=story
+star hossain which is exactly where he failed in explaining. He used his own thinking and his pseudo Sunni base. He should have used Quran to explain this. He simply took a whole argument of covering or not and wrap around a single verse, when prowess of Quran is in fact in it's perpetual reminders of things. 24:31 is the verse in question and if there is any ambiguity or discrepancy either in translation or meaning, Quran insists on a better version but from within. 25:33 says that and his answer could have been from 7:26
As someone who doesn't cover their head, this was extremely useful. I have come across many videos which make me feel dehumanised, like I'm being yelled at and made to feel unacceptable in the ummah. All this video did was make me learn. I learned so much. Seriously, the warmth of the videos in this channel is so beautiful masha'Allah. Keep up the good work. I look forward to these videos
Regarding covering the head, please give yourself the chance to listen to the other point of view , acadimically by dr. Khaled abu el fadel ua-cam.com/play/PLnRxMKnJguKJp91FXJENahxFEXlTk-_EU.html And by dr. Shabir Ally
When you do something not for anyone but to please Allah alone, He will definitely give you that love and secure feelings. Keep having faith in Allah. This world is nothing but a place of test. We try our best to live righteously. Hereafter is where we will receive our results. May we get the best result ever... i.e placement in Jannah.
Fudgie pie it was very scary for me at first which is why me and my friend started wearing it together. We both didn’t like it much at first but now I’m super confident and happy with it. I’ve noticed she’s lost a bit of confidence ever since she started wearing it and that is because she is very scared of what others think. I feel very happy with it on. I’ve learnt not to care about what others think and to just do what I want and it feels amazing. I hope you start wearing it too it’s scary at first but it really doesn’t matter in the end. We all need this. Even my friend is staring to love it.
@@laibatahir4627 I'm so proud of you! I'm 17 and have been wearing it for a while and still get those pangs of unconfidence at times but it passes! Sounds cringy but wearing a simple abaya and hijab really does make you feel like a princess but its when I have to mix it with school uniform it just feels off. You sound so mature and I pray Allah makes it easier for you. We'll get a huge reward in sha allah stay strong sis!!
I was born and raised arabic muslim but I've never knew this !!! can't find words to express how thankful I am to Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan !! jazaka laho kola lkhayr
amazing how ur thinking of something one minute and the next minute Allah sends you the answer. SubhanAllah.. may Allah reward you all at Bayyinah for all your efforts.. ameen.
***** .. I don't have time to take on challenges.. I go by what feels right.. If you don't agree, then thats up to you. I can't make someone believe what I do unless they are willing.. And you sound like you are adamant in believing you are right, so so be it.
I have been wearing a scarf and covering myself for 2 years and I can honestly say I get more respect from people around me regardless of nationality or culture. I struggle with anxiety and when I wear a hijab I feel safe and my anxiety goes down. I do get a bit of hate because wearing a hijab is a declaration of your faith and in the usa people have various opinions of Islam, but if you can get people to calm down and have an open discussion with you about your coverings and what it is you believe then it kind of extinguishes that hate.
Thank you team Bayyinah. I agree with what he said. Oneday I was feeling so lost and sad so I decided to take guidance from Quran.I prayed to Allah that please guide me. So i opened Quran and told Allah that which ever verse I first see, I'm gonna take it as message from you and gonna act upon that. Alhamdulillah it was verse 24 of Surah An Nur. I used to be a non hijabi now I wear it.
***** What if I have befriended Muslims but disagreed with the Qur'an and still lived a virtuous and loving life. I'd still be sent to Hell according to Allah. I don't think that's fair/
No person can answer that question--God/Allah is the only one who decides who goes to heaven or hell. If you have any interest in understanding Islam, suggest you read "Islam and the Destiny of Man" by Charles Easton. Islam is far, far deeper than you think and even most Muslims have a very simplistic, cursory understanding of their own religion. Another great writer on Islam, particularly Sufi Islam, is Prof. William C. Chittick.

I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon).
This video has some correct and some misleading points. Yes, Khimar can refer to a scarf that covers the head. From our understanding, this is also the meaning that was used during the time of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. However, the informed conversation centers more around: does the Quran make obligatory for women to wear the "khimar" to cover their hair? I think it is reasonable to say that the only acceptable translation for this word, given its context and understanding at the time, is that referring to a headscarf. The question then becomes, what does the Quran say about this headscarf? The Quran in 24:33 asks the Prophet to tell the believing women to "yadribna bikhmurihinna 3ala juyuubihin." What does "yadribna" mean in this instance-does it necessitate the headscarf be worn? It seems like the obvious answer that yes, daraba is an added verb presuming that the khimar is already worn, and I agree that this is the default understanding and perhaps the most desirable understanding. However, is it obligatory to wear the khimar as a headscarf when the Quran is giving a specific instruction about how to wear the khimar? In other words, I'm suggesting that the instruction was made to be simple, since the women at the time already wore the khimar, so it asked them to use it to achieve the desired outcome: covering the breasts with a loose clothing. Rather than making new clothes, it makes sense to just cover the breasts with the clothes they already have. Additionally, if the Quran had instead said to just cover the breasts with clothing, it could be allowing for tight clothing to cover the breasts, but the objective is to cover the breasts with a loose clothing. And specifically mandating a cover with a loose clothing would have perhaps interrupted the rhyme of the verse and the eloquence of the Quran. Furthermore, we have no consensus on how this khimar was worn at the time of the Prophet pbuh. Did the women cover most of their hair, or all of their hair? Also, since the Prophet's wives are mentioned in the hadiths to have worn the niqab, if we are basing our explanation of how to wear it on hadith, why is it that we don't come to the conclusion that the niqab is also obligatory? As a matter of fact, there is a large group of people who do come to the conclusion that the niqab is obligatory. Some even point to the Quran drawing an equivalence between the wives of the Prophet and all believing women in regards to niqab. I am not a scholar, but I see that in the Quran, it is repeatedly mentioned that the Prophet Muhmmad pbuh is nothing but a **clear** warner. Why all this confusion then? I also see in the Quran, that it asks "do they invent about Allah what they do not know?" I do not know, but please do not pretend that you know neither, especially so casually as if it is obvious. To me, I read it and see that the traditional way is to cover the breasts using a headscarf, but it does not read as exclusionary to this being the only possible way of covering the breasts. And because it is the exemplified way, I agree that it is preferable. But don't scare women from joining Islam just because of something that is perhaps only preferable and not obligatory. Men know that it's not the hair of the woman that's the tipping point for attraction, for the majority of us, it is about covering the breasts, and so this understanding also agrees with my lived experience and that of the men I know. If you look at the Quran alone for this issue (not that the hadith is not relevant), you will find that women are instructed to cover their juyuub (cleavage) and to lower a portion of their jalabeeb (loose clothing) over themselves. This is a simple command, cover breasts and wear loose clothing. From this alone, you can follow what your heart believes is sufficiently modest, not cheating Allah swt, because that is only cheating yourself, and I predict that most people would tend to wear sufficiently modest clothes without all the regulations put forth. For the layperson, I see the advantage of giving a specific requirement to "simplify", so I'm not opposed to it, but don't make it more confusing in the process, and recognize that these requirements would have been written more than a century from the Prophet's death pbuh. In many regions of the world today, many people who wear the hijab are treated not fairly, to the point where it hinders them from getting work or threatens their safety on the street. We should not just accept that this is God's intention for them if the hijab is not unequivocally mandatory. Encourage people to dress modestly, and to adhere to the clear principles (loose clothing, cover cleavage) and don't beat people down for that which you are unsure about. If you made it this far into the comment, please share your opinion :)
You have put what I feel into words. I totally agree with you. But I'm also scared of deeming all these scholars wrong. They're scholars for a reason, right?
"This is False. Allah SWT Has Commanded The Women To Wear Khimar In A Certain Way. وَ قُلۡ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ یَغۡضُضۡنَ مِنۡ اَبۡصَارِہِنَّ وَ یَحۡفَظۡنَ فُرُوۡجَہُنَّ وَ لَا یُبۡدِیۡنَ زِیۡنَتَہُنَّ اِلَّا مَا ظَہَرَ مِنۡہَا وَ لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ بِخُمُرِہِنَّ عَلٰی جُیُوۡبِہِنَّ ۪ وَ لَا یُبۡدِیۡنَ زِیۡنَتَہُنَّ اِلَّا لِبُعُوۡلَتِہِنَّ اَوۡ اٰبَآئِہِنَّ اَوۡ اٰبَآءِ بُعُوۡلَتِہِنَّ اَوۡ اَبۡنَآئِہِنَّ اَوۡ اَبۡنَآءِ بُعُوۡلَتِہِنَّ اَوۡ اِخۡوَانِہِنَّ اَوۡ بَنِیۡۤ اِخۡوَانِہِنَّ اَوۡ بَنِیۡۤ اَخَوٰتِہِنَّ اَوۡ نِسَآئِہِنَّ اَوۡ مَا مَلَکَتۡ اَیۡمَانُہُنَّ اَوِ التّٰبِعِیۡنَ غَیۡرِ اُولِی الۡاِرۡبَۃِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ اَوِ الطِّفۡلِ الَّذِیۡنَ لَمۡ یَظۡہَرُوۡا عَلٰی عَوۡرٰتِ النِّسَآءِ ۪ وَ لَا یَضۡرِبۡنَ بِاَرۡجُلِہِنَّ لِیُعۡلَمَ مَا یُخۡفِیۡنَ مِنۡ زِیۡنَتِہِنَّ ؕ وَ تُوۡبُوۡۤا اِلَی اللّٰہِ جَمِیۡعًا اَیُّہَ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ لَعَلَّکُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ Surah An Nur Ayat 31 The Part Of Khimar وَ لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ بِخُمُرِہِنَّ عَلٰی جُیُوۡبِہِنَّ In Classical Arabic , In Order To Command , You Use 2nd person Fil , Make It Lightest , And Take Tha off From The Beginning. From The Ayat , It Is لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ , Which Is Female Third person Plural. Therefore The Closer Translation Of The Ayat Is وَ لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ بِخُمُرِہِنَّ عَلٰی جُیُوۡبِہِنَّ And Indeed They Females Are Striking With Their(female) Khimars Over Juyb(Chest Cavity) Of Theirs(females). This Is Not A Command , Rather A Statement Defining Muslim Women. This Means That If Someone says She Is A Muslim Female , Then A Part Of Being One Requires That She Wears Khimar In The Way Described. And Since Allah SWT Commanded Everyone To Be Muslim. یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوا ادۡخُلُوۡا فِی السِّلۡمِ کَآفَّۃً ۪ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیۡطٰنِ ؕ اِنَّہٗ لَکُمۡ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیۡنٌ "O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy." Surah Al Baqarah Ayat 208 Translation Saheeh International. The Muslim Female Is Commanded By Allah SWT To Wear Khimar In A Certain Way."
I’m only a learning Muslim who can speak for myself. Our religion is between us and god and scholars are our teachers of what we don’t know however they cannot say for sure commandments, only to the best of their knowledge ( which tbf they have studied more than us). So take their teachings and reflect on them honestly and openly and in relation to your understanding and then act on your understanding in your own life. We are all learners and we will never know everything in its completely and utter degree.
AoA Ustad. This video was the reason I subscribed to your channel. This very question has been haunting me for years. Now only to find the strength to start covering my head, Inn Shaa Allah and Aameen. Jazak Allah khair. Please keep doing what you do. 😊 Prayers from Lahore, Pakistan.
+Zarlasht Qadir Khan dear sister just an advice from someone who took the jump to wear the veil before you :) first have the intention, make a lot of duaa for god to make u fall in love with hijab, start looking and noticing other hijabis around, on instagram, facebook, youtube it will make u feel not alone and show you you can still be beautiful with hijab, buy few scarfs, and start trying it out at home even for an hour, don't tight it too much on the neck so it wont bother you, even if its going out to throw garbage try to do it few times outside, it will help you so much and no people will not be looking at you because you look weird relax they dont know that your new into hijab , if you feel that u cant make the big step then baby steps towards the ultimate goal , and allah sees ur effort, he will help you out, i love hijab i cant even describe the blessing that i feel when i'm all covered alhamdulillah may allah make it easy for you and all the sisters out there
Now that is a lovely thought. It's exactly how I feel, or would feel if I weren't an atheist. I do live by a few simple rules: love yourself and others, do no harm and don't judge. For religious people, if you truly believe all that is said about God, then in the end he's the only one with the knowledge and power to judge. Us humans should be most considered with how we behave ourselves.
Yes and that means that we have to do our own thinking and Allah will help us in coming to the right answer, instead of following these "scholars" who are pushing their own agenda!
I really really love this, I was so excited for this series. May Allah reward you all for passing on your knowledge. I find it really hard to get myself to sit down and read quran these days but i'm doing my best, I REALLY find these chats and the inspiration series to be really helpful. Hamdulillah, it makes me excited about what i believe! It makes me so proud. Good work everyone!
This has not convinced me . I understand what is being said , but i feel like if Allah is saying to use the current head covering you have on to cover your chest, i feel like the importance is clearly the chest area ans not the hair. I feel like if the hair was the important area to cover then it would of been specified. Back in the time the Quran was being recited/revealed to prophet Muhammad some women already wore a type of head covering for what ever reasons .There is a reason that so many Muslim women do not wear a hijab, it's because they honestly don't believe it is a requirement from Allah based on the above mentioned chapter.Thank you for this video , it was a truly interesting and smooth flowing discussion :)
Esther Corbin your comment made me sure about why the head is included if it means anything, in that the examples of word's origin in the word alcohol and horse's head, it is pretty clear. I have seen a video that explains it of being cultural or circumstances of the time but we all know that the Quran is timeless and for all mankind. Thanks for the comment.
@@irannewswire8833 it is only a choice in the sense that you will not be punished for it in this world. It is a sin that will earn you the displeasure of the God that commanded it
@@irannewswire8833 what inner meaning? Allah says the Quran has been made Quran easy for us. But you have been misled or your desires may not fit the Quranic narrative so you want to change it? Just say you don't wanna follow Quran. No one will argue with you. But we will not let you attack the Quran in this way. Allah has revealed the Quran and He is the protector. It is fine I sin too. We should seek forgiveness. Rather than justify the sin by trying to change the commands of Allah. A Muslim is one that submits.
To force a woman or bring harm to one because she doesn't want to wear a veil is haram. The intent is modesty.. but not just that take into account the time and place. Now while that being said, not wearing doesn't make you less Muslim and if you think so then you've lost sight of what is really important.
Covering is fard so the men responsible for their women need to learn and teach and tell their women to cover which is also fard and I not full filling a fard is haram
Not wearing a hijab is haram for someone who has reached puberty and isen't faced with direct harm such as extremist christian parents who have threatened to kill or kick their daughter out to the streets if she wears it. Ibdon't know what you mean when you say that not wearing it does not make you less a Muslim but like i said it is an obligation that has been placed on us and not carrying it out is to disobey Allah. Besides, its not just that many dont wear hijab, they also wear tight pants, full set make up and do other kinds of tabarruj. That is a major sin and the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam said that there would be women in later times who will be "dressed yet naked" as not be allowed to smell the fragrance of jannah. So please don't try to make it seem like a small sin to not wear hijab or to do tabarruj. Also, men must stop wearing tight pants that show the shape of their butt and thighs as well as the area between the navel and knees are awrah for them.
@The Media Lies Against Islam how dare you say that? Your words are discouraging. And regardless on whether I agree with you or not, Allah is the one who decides who's truly muslim and who isn't, and Allah can make as many exceptions as he pleases.
I agree that khimar was used at the time to mean covering the head. But my reading of this verse, which this video seems to confirm, is that Allah is saying to draw the headcover over the chest, to cover it. I have heard that their dresses had open slits at the neck which could be revealing, but I do not know if this is correct for certain. This was a very easy way for them to be more modest without needing to make expensive new clothing. So the command is to cover the chest with something they are already wearing. But there is no command to cover the head, just an acknowledgement that this was being done at the time. So this video did not actually address whether covering the head is commanded by Allah in that verse.
+Julie Barkley By Allah SWT using the word khimar which means to cover the head up to the belly that is from the chest. The Ayah says for women to cover the head and in the position of covering the front. Salam
Im sorry but if god hasnt told me directly in the quran women must cover the hair on their heads then its a no from me because he does not expect us to ready between the lines, if he did then every command from him would be difficult to analyse which we know is not the case.
@@mennasaleh6129 if a woman should have to wear a hijab i think a man should too because whether they wore the hijab in he past or not doesnt matter as a womans hair on her head is not considered an ''ourah''عورة
Loved the explanation..although Ive been wearing hijab for more than half my life...people always come to me with questions and statements such as "the quran doesnt specifically say hijab.." And ive never quite known what to say to them in response. But this video has done an exceptional job in explaining to those who have confusions regarding the hijab. Really appreciate this series Brother Nouman...
Salem Aleikum, this is Frieda from Germany. I'd like to thanks a lot for this answer. This was in fact a big question in my head and now I' m very glad. I really like the way you explain this topic without judging and with wisdom. Thank you very very much and may Allah (swt) bless you all
Subhanallah alhumdulillah Allah has guided me to this video before i could form any doubts about the hijab! I just came from watching a TED talk from Samina Ali and she was talking about literally exactly what this video has addressed. Thank you so much to everyone who made this video and i thank Allah for guiding me to this video before my faith went downhill, and i pray He guides anyone else here before they go downhill in faith too.

Problem with us is, we see an effort like this which is beautifully done and then what do we come off with? "There's music in this, "the women aren't fully covered," "the women in the video have makeup on." SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?
True, but what if someone thought it's okay to do all of those things because they saw it here? Which is a real possibility. I do agree that some people don't seem sincere.
+LOCO3k first and foremost, people really shouldn't be taking fiqh lessons from youtube and youtube can never been a fiqh and shariah institute. There are other schools of thoughts where music is considered permissible, and makeup, and the belief that women shouldn't just be kept in shoeboxes. Most would say it's not halal, but some would say it is. It is not an issue that is being talked about in this video. It's like Al Kahf all over again, Allah taught the people about the youths and the sacrifices they did and the amazing things they did and their questions afterwards were about how many of them were there or what type of dog was it. It's about relevance. There is a place and time for everything. These questions should not be on any youtube video and people really should not ever, EVER take fiqh advice from youtube. There are islamic teachers in your own communities to learn that properly from.
+LOCO3k Bayyinah Institute has done an amazing job trying to explain the Quran in a concise fashion so that we can all move closer to Allah so that our hearts will be purified. Don't u think that the more closer you are to Allah, all these external, small stuff would come easier for people to let go. Also it's disappointing that in a video with 2 men as the main subjects, the men watching the video chose to focus on the blurred women, or the faceless woman's hands or a THUMBNAIL. It is further proof to non-muslims especially that Muslim men seem incapable to control themselves and their eyes. There are going to be beautiful women everywhere. Are you gonna be able to tell Allah that "wallahi I had no choice. They chose to be in front of me."
In bible and Torah it is explicitly mentioned that women must cover their "hair". Quran doesn't have such verse. Hair or head is never mentioned. The meaning is vague and always hidden. It gives a description of how to use a "cultural" garment. the organ that is explicitly mentioned is chest/breast. Maybe you should focus on that. Moreover the ablution before each prayer is focusing on the parts that are exposed to outside. Hands, face, feet (think about sandalet, we are in arabia so no boots ;) ), neck and head (hair). Those rules are not different from men to women, so the parts that are exposed to outside suppose to be same. If you cover your hair be my guest but I believe god knows how to say "cover your hair".
This is an excellent excellent point that I never thought of or read about! ... While hair covering is nowhere talked about, if we take khimar to be a head cover as opposed to just any covering, then also.... in ablution the parts exposed to outside are mentioned, and head is included in it.👍
Fats no anxiety depression and all negative is not associated to hijab in any way If you have mental problems you should go to doctor not take off your hijab
I find that, the majority of first generation Muslims - who want to act like westerners but do not want to leave the fold of Islam to do so - Take these misunderstandings to justify this. They want to act like their friends, they want to cave in to peer pressure. But they don't want to displease Allah, so how can they do both? This is why, Allah warns us against ignorance, and this is why the Prophet (pbuh) prayed for knowledge. It's because ignorance is the greatest tool that Iblis has against humanity. The devil will always attempt to misguide us, and If we do not do everything in our power to defend ourselves from this, then we have no one to blame but ourselves when we become misguided. Thank you for telling me this brother Nouman, for now when this is told to me by a Muslimah I can tell her the truth. I use to say "The Qur'an is guidance from Allah, yes, but it is the hadith of the prophet (pbuh) that explains to us in detail what Allah Has declared in the Qur'an" Now I can see, that it indeed means head covering.
+Mohammad Al-Zawahreh Having just spoken about belief to a Muslim friend, yesterday, who admitted to having doubts and believing every reasoning person having doubt, I think your "first generation Muslims" are on the right track. All they need to break them of believing in any supposed gods is a little more rational discussion and reading. I'm looking forward to that time when religions are relegated to the historical and cultural niches they belong in. They might be quirky and fun relics of the past, but they obviously have no place in a rational future for humanity.
Muzzammil Syed All religions preceding the current ones have become extinct too. But sure it's a pipe dream, since I doubt I'll live long enough for the religious to catch up to reality. It's they that will suffer most for it though.
propoetide That's an interesting way to approach religion propoetide. 20000 Americans convert to Islam every year. When questioned; these people previously being of various faiths or no faiths at all; having various degrees of education. Each and everyone of them said they converted to Islam because it is rational, it makes sense, it doesn't contradict any and all scientific revelation rather it CONFIRMS it. So; the fact that you are of the opinion that religion and in particular Islam is anti-rational, is most interesting. I wonder, do you know more then these people who chose to dedicate their entire lives to this ideology? Perhaps. Or perhaps you are a pessimistic person who enjoys seeing peoples hope and faith drain away. I'd really like to talk to your "Muslim" friend. Clearly; he/she needs to get better friends.
May Allah bless this man! He is very easy to listen to, not extremely offensive in any way nor is he over powering you with words you don't understand or the volume for that matter...... Some words maybe, but he tries his best to bring his speech to a point where everyone can just stop and think!! I really like that:) Masha Allah! Thank you for sharing such a nice video and remind us we should all keep learning from the Qur'an and try and improve our understanding🌼 Ramadan Mubarak to whoever is reading this:))♥️
Alhamdulliah I wore my hijab this Ramadan, my mom doesn’t accept me with it. She says it’s not my culture and that I can be a good Muslim in my heart and I don’t need to show and display it. But alhamdulliah I kept wearing it and I will never think of removing it. This is my choice and I will keep my choice till the very end. Girls, don’t be discouraged it’s okay to have your choice made, if your relationship with allah ever gets distracted by anyone even if it’s your mother don’t change for them don’t change for anyone. Only for Allah. Stay strong. Jazakallah
One of my greatest fears is reading and not gaining through understanding of the Qur'an because of translation and simplification, I feel like I MUST learn Arabic now.
@@ayeshaartacademy3818 Yea I feel you, i feel like i might get the wrong idea of it or the wrong understanding of it. this is why i want to learn Arabic too. May Allah make it easy for both of us Ameen!
@@noor1991hb No, there has never been an issue regarding Hijab for 1400 yrs, its the west mocking your beliefs and shaking your faith. Why do you listen to the west, why is their immodest clothing is better than what Allah prescribed. Why are people trying to please the west instead of Allah, these people are falling into shirk, which is a territory one must be careful not to fall in it ever.
I have an issue with this talk. Veil in English can take these multiple meanings as well, Veil over the face or just a shawl. So in the end you have to look at the intent of the verse. The verse says to take the khimaar and to cover the chest/bosom, which is from collar bone to belly or even the front (sadr means chest as well as front). So the point is that women's entire chests be covered with a covering. My take is that if you want to wear a head covering that also does that then so be it.. There is nothing wrong with that. But if you just wear a shawl or covering that covers the chest then that is fine too! I don't think you can force it to mean headcover here when the intent is to cover the chests.
I memorized this dua from Nouman Ali Khan. رب اشرح لي صدري ويسر لي امري وحلل عقدتا من لساني يفقه قولي The dua Musa said in Surat TaHa. I never tried to memorize it, it was something I just memorized from listening to brother Nouman’s lectures. Jazak Allah khair. May Allah reward you, and guide us all
This is petty. We men are supposed to be protectors of women. It is their safety, their security, their access to education, to jobs, to financial security, to their health, to safe child birth, to their freedom from exploitation as well as to non violent marriage that should be our concern. In these areas we have failed our women! There should of course be regulation of sexual behaviour. But that should apply to both sexes equally. And we should discuss this in an honest fashion. What are the principles that we can adopt when discussing the regulation of sexual behaviour in society in general? It cannot be the total restriction of women's freedom of movement, of association, of speech and thought as well as curtailing their desires and ambitions. What does the hijab achieve? What is so sinful about a woman not wearing a hijab? What is with women's hair that its exposure will lead to society's moral collapse?
What is petty? There are things that are fard on women and others that are fard on men. Men are obligated to not gaze at woman's body or make her uncomfortable, and whoever does that faces consequences in the day of Judgement.
Lorena Smith that’s true hijab was just a tradition/fashion they would be wearing it tucked behind their ear and they would literally wear an open jacket with their chests showing
A lot of people are still arguing about covering the chest and head here. You guys are making opinion by taking DIRECTLY from Quran so Quran said to kill non muslim and not be friend with them Will you do it? Or look at the history. Why not doing same for this.
@@BDaTDaSADaNDaIME well Quran doesn't tell you to kill non-Muslims it tells you to fight them implying that you have to strike them should they hit you first, and as to not friend them no it doesn't tell you that it infact tells you that you should respect the other religions.
@@m-hellothere4167 still you have to look at the history and know why the line was sent.Same goes for hijab related line.Don't make up based on line .know the history
So happy this topic has been brought up and discussed as it’s been a recent debate upon women recently. I think the conflict comes from women initially wearing it not knowing fully the reason why. As we get older and read in the quraan , like you said , some feel it’s not clear enough and a lot have actually taken off their hijab for that reason, which is unfortunate. I partially blame some scholars in the past that hadn’t taken the time to properly discuss and explain this topic clearly, rather they’ve focused on just how a woman is seductive to men, from a more objectifying perspective. Another issue I feel women face is that some mention, that ok maybe it is reccomended that we do wear it but is not compulsory as it is not mentioned anywhere that there is any punishment for not doing so. Would love to hear Dr.Khan do a long talk discussing these issues and helping us find the correct answers we’re looking for.
but the way i see it is that the aya is focused on women covering their bosoms. The emphasis wasn't on covering the head itself. If it was that much of a necessity it would have been worded differently. The Quran is worded the way it is worded on purpose. And focus was placed on other things that are far more important such as salah, siam, lying, stealing, zaka etc
Thank you making that point! The Quran is worded with a purpose. There are other things that are way way more emphasised than the issue of covering hair, yet Muslims hold it with such high passion as of it is the most repeated verse of the Quran. It is not. Salat, zakat, good deeds, taqwa, modesty are some of the central themes. God knows best.
shere palvaan I really ask this question. Why do most of the pictures that you put in the churches to Mary the Mother of Christ covering her head while you dont do this!!! Why when the Jews say that Mary is an adulterer you become angry and denies this!!! While the Bible considers adultery as a natural and a likable thing as the Bible confessed adultery of prophet Lot with his two daughters.Genesis(19:33)
U explain everything sooo nicely sooo beautifully. MAY ALLAH GRANT U THE HIGHEST PLACE IN JANNAH AND MAY ALLAH FORGIVE ALL THE SINS AND FORGIVE THE UMMAH OH HUZOOR (SAW) AMEEN!!
salam I was so certain that hijab is not mandatory, but now I know that it is. I just did not know the Arabic enough, but I used a lexicon just like him, and it said "shawl" just like Nouman's lexicon... but I have not read as many pre-Islamic books as Nouman obviously has!!!!! THANK YOU NOUMAN
Brother Numan apart from Deen knowledge your Language skills are extra ordinary too Ma sha Allah truly inspired .. i want to understand Quran as you do Insha Allah one day .... may Allah grant us useful knowledge ameen
Asalamualaikum jazak Allah Khair for making this video. I am a muslim revert sister and i have seen written in my Quran translation 'cover your chest' as mentioned in the video but i was always unsure that was the correct meaning. Alhamdulillah i have worn a scarf since the day i became Muslim as i felt it was the correct thing to do and it was such a natural thing for me to wear. I literally feel naked when i am not wearing it even out in my garden. This video will help me to explain to my daughter why mummy wears a scarf. May Allah allow you to make more of these informative videos Insha Allah
Khimar is literally a piece of cloth or a cover. It could be a table cloth, a shawl, a blanket, curtains, any item of clothing or anything that is a piece of cloth that covers something. Going further into one story, it’s described as a cloak. The rich women owned cloaks but the servants didn’t own them. So when rich women went to the edge of the settlement to relieve themselves in the night, the men would recognise them by their cloak and leave them alone. But servants would be harassed by the men. So to stop this occurring, the servants were told to wear a khimar (cloak) so that they wouldn’t be harassed by the men. So they would be ‘recognised’ as free and wealthy women. The idea that Arabs considered a head covering as the meaning of khimar was a later interpretation. Yes a khimar could be used to cover the head, but that doesn’t make it a head covering. It could be as easily used to cover the ground before sitting down. The Quran says to use khimar (a piece of cloth/clothing) to cover the cleavage/bussom, but quite literally the ‘sacred gaps’. The places on the body where flesh meets flesh. In other words, the places the Quran says to cover, with khimar or otherwise, are between the legs, the cleavage and the armpits can also be considered in the same way as the flesh meets there too. There is never any mention of covering the head at any point in the Quran. As the Quran states very clearly that nothing has been left out of this book, I think if Allah had intended head covering, He would have been explicit about that intent. Also as the Prophet himself was reprimanded by Allah for making laws to suit his wives, when they were not from Allah, then we absolutely should not be making laws or even suggesting them with this kind of semantic acrobatics. If it was intended, Allah would have been explicit in the Quran. He was explicit about the other important issues.

I love how a random youtube comment is trying to explain to us the Arabic language. Some people study the arabic language for 10 years even then they don't pass judgement on the Quran but some random people on youtube will Google the meaning of a word thinking that they understand everything about it without looking at the context of the ayah or what the scholars of Arabic language say about this ayah. If you are knowledgeable in the arabic language and have the tools of Arabic then only you can come to intellectually acceptable opinions.
I am a Muslim,but I really feel that islam is so strict😕. especially the islam which is preached by our Pakistani molvis😢. May Allah guide me. but some of the Islamic rules totally don't make sense to me. why does islam says that women aren't allowed to do jobs? why their voice is considered auurah?..whenever I think of these strict rules I literally cry. and sometimes I wish I wasn't born a girl because islam is too hard for women💔💔💔💔💔
I understand you. Some interpretations of Islam are very strict. I think, if you believe in your heart in the message of Islam. You should be okay to live your life as best you see fit, within reason of course. That’s just my view. “Women can’t do jobs” that’s very strict. That may be a cultural Pakistani thing? Idk.
Where the f*** it says women are not allowed to do jobs? Hazrat Khadija, the first wife of Prophet PBUH, she was doing more than the job, the business! And in Pakistan, women are in every field, IDK which Pakistan you are talking about! And BTW, Pakistan is not an Islamic country!
Dear, most of the horrible stuff comes from our cultural background. Islam, the system of God, the deen given from allah is made easy for us. Try to pray and read about different interpretations... then understand from it and pray...
Sister the Islam that the culture in India/Pak has thought is not the true Islam. Women are allowed to do jobs but with hijab and somewhere where the environment is safe. Our voice is considered an Aurah because voices of women are sweet and that might attract the attention of men.. all these things Allah has given us for our own benefit. I know the culture has ruined many things for us. Islam has given many rights to women, even if she works she doesn't need to provide for the family, she can hold property, keep her own surname etc..
I don't like it when women would try to twist things about wearing hijab or khimar simply because they don't want to wear it. Girl, if you don't want to wear it.. Then don't wear it. Just remember that in the end of the day (when you die), you cannot argue with Allah. You're gonna have to take responsibility for it.
It's not that simple for some sisters, of having a choice to where it or not!! That is mostly a western thing. In an Islamic country there is no choice! In some western instances there is also no choice, the father or brother simply won't allow that, and no Muslim man will show any respect to a woman who is displaying herself, and not living rightous.
Beautiful interpretation! Ustad Nauman is blessed MashaAllah! The verses before An-Nur 24:31 make it very clear alhumdulillah that it's for "Protection & Purity" of Mominaat And Momineen. 24:31 also explains to whom they can reveal their "Zeenat" [one of the keywords of this aayah...must also be explored & understood] The word "Auraat" also clarifies & emphasises the importance of "Privacy of women". [again protection from ones in 24:23] It has always been about protection; *most precious → most protected! و اللہ علیم حکیم
Salam Aleikum. I have been learning about Islam for many years. I reverted almost a year ago alhamdullilah. But this video was what helped me with my decision to wear hijab 3 months ago. My heart was there and I knew that I had to do it and I always admired the hijab - but for me I need to understand why we do the things we do. This video enabled my head to catch up with my heart. Education is vital for me. I truly consider that Islam is a blessing as it fulfills me spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. JazakAllah Khair to Bayyinah Institue - your videos are beyond amazing. Insha'Allah one day I will be able to have an online subscription. P.S. Understanding Our History video - this resonated with me so much (I was an Anthropology major!)

As an Arab, knowing that word meaning naturally and seeing how arabs used to dress before and now that fabric wasn't measured to like hide the hair completely there isn't any single indications for hiding hair, even if it was on the head they would always show some hair even if they used it but now I think we use hijab In matter of Cms ... if one hair is out we hate on the woman when in reality if she was modest .. regardless .. that strand of hair doesn't matter and the importance in that Aya is to cover the chest and neck area .. there is no indication that says the hair is strictly shouldn't be visible.. old arabs with scarfs they used to show some part of their hairs and it was never a taboo.
Ya habibi, If this was the sole meaning then why even mention Khimar? This is the word of God, we're not interpreting a George Orwell novella here. Specific words are there in the Qur'an for a reason. If someone wants to find a loophole they'll find one no matter what. Try and think about it objectively and lay out the arguments please.
Khimar goes from the head to the chest yeah? Meaning it covers the face too. Plus Allah says don't be like the women of jahilliyah. So if they covered in jahilliyah, it means we need to cover more than they did. This is in line with what the video has clarified. Ofcourse if you don't wanna wear you could find excuses not to. Doesn't mean it isn't fard on you, you know.
True point. Even if it is a head cover... people have cimmitted excessiveness and now even if a single hair strand is visible they treat it like a taboo and demean women sometimes... 😭😭

That all depends on the preproduction phase. Was it well planned and scripted? I think this was adlibed cause of his knowledge of the matter. doesn't seem like he was reading any of this. if one camera was used ull have to make multiple takes of same discussion from different angles then you can edit and cut to make it seem like multiple cameras were used, this process takes longer. if you have multiple cameras then you just tape the scene ones or as many times as you like it till you have what you need and then edit in post production. benefit of multicam production is you can edit on the spot through use of programs and mixers. but this process requires more staff. camera. lighting. director. technical director who is usually the board operator as well. an inexperienced team will produce this video anywhere from 10 to 20 hours depending on how organized they were. an experienced team can fly through this within an hour or two at the most.
I hope Bayyinah answers this because i still have an "issue" with the hijab. I understand that "kheemar" by definition means a head cover, but when i read that Allah told the women to take their kheemar and place it at the front, i don't understand what makes it an *obligation* rather than just a *recommendation*? What about women at the time who perhaps didn't even wear the kheemar on the back? Jazakum Allah
It's good to strive to understand everything. However for us who haven't dedicated our lives to the Islamic sciences we must listen to those who have. The scholars. They have principles for what counts as a recommendation and what counts as a command. If you want to understand this you must study a lot. The agreement of scholars is enough for us to adhere to the rulings of Islam though. I hope that helped
Imagine for a second a legal document directed towards the employes of a firm in which they are told certain 'do's and don'ts'.On top of the document the management has declared that all instructions therein are a binding and obligation on the employes. Now should the employes ask before every instruction whether it is an obligation or recommendation ? Offcourse all instructions are obligations ! *CONTINUED
*CONTINUED.. The same happens in Surah Nur in which these ayat about the Khimar are revealed. Allah has declared right at the start that "We have revealed this Surah and obligated whatever is in it..." So it is very clear that all instructions in this Surah are obligations not recommendations.
Abdullah Tariq Those are good points but the ayah talks about those who wore the khimar at the back and told them to wear it at the front. What about those who didn't wear at all?
+Mohsin Junejo Please take a look at www.bayyinah.tv/sp/9942-bayyinah-tv. There are programs from Arabic with Husna, to Dream, to Access. These programs teach you the tools to understand the arabic language.
I liked the way he was talking, he seemed very calm and nice, however I do not agree with this at all, if allah wanted the head to be specifically covered, he would say "use the Khimar to cover your head up to your belly" however, it does not say this in the Quran it says to put the khimar over yourself. I feel like Muslim women always get pressured, for instance some people are saying that the girls in the video shouldn't be there as they look too beautiful..... That's just stupid. Some scholars have told women to cover anything that is attractive when that's not true. They just need to cover their chest and their backsides to protects themselves and stop men from thinking bad things about her.

Mr. Nouman Ali Khan is missing the point. Nobody says a word that means covering the head is not mentioned in Quran. He should have recited the verse and the interpreted. The argument is that the Allah says to women in the verse , "use your khimers( the veil that you wear on your head and shoulder) to cover your breasts or chest. " , so from this verse it is clear that wearing khimer is not obligated but covering breasts is made compulsory.
Thank you : ) But I'm still slightly confused - the function of "hijab" or khimar as said in Qur'an is for the purpose of modesty so I have two questions: 1) Can you not be modest as in still cover your chest wear baggy clothes etc without wearing a hijab/covering on your head? 2) Some muslim women also wear turbans where the head is covered but the neck shows - is this ok in Islam as in is it permissable? I'm trying to do research on hijab and it's so confusing - is the covering on your head really mandatory? If you don't are you much more likely to go to Hell? Please help me!
Assalamualaikum, 1. I know what you mean, but this was ordained by Allah. God said to cover the head as well as the neck/cleavage area. If one tries to accomplish a goal without taking the steps they've been told to take, do you think they are serious or at least will be successful? 2. Well, I'm not a scholar. But seems like, at least from the video, that the neck should be covered. 3. If it was asked clearly in the Qur'an then it is mandatory. However, saying that one is going to hell for not doing it is a BIG thing. Only Allah knows.
Here's a video on why it is not mandatory for Muslim women to cover their hair: ua-cam.com/video/mXWPmJVdbl0/v-deo.html Please watch it and read other opinions, then decide for yourself whether you think it is necessary or not. May Allah help you :)
i know that muslim women HAVE to wear hijab to cover their head as Allah subhanahu wata ala said so in the Quraan but is niqaab compulsory? Also at what age should a women start to waer niqaab? A lot of people say that the hijab is okay to wear but the niqaab is kind of extreme? Some people say that Allah says in the Quraan to just wear an abaya and hijab and that He didn't say women should wear niqaab? I'm getting confused on this. Please can you make a video or reply to me on this comment and explain this using verses from the Quraan and Hadith. Also a lot of people criticise others about being Sunni, Wahabi and Shia, what is the difference between them and is it wrong to be any of them? Can we be two of them? Like being half sunni and half wahabi? Assalamu Alaikum and Jazakallah Khair! U explain everything so clearly have helped my family a lot with your speeches. U also speak in English which makes it easier for me and some of my friends. I used your advice and inspired my friend to wear hijab. She said she will never take it off now. Jazakallah khair again. I will pray that inshallah, i see you live in one of your speeches in this life or in Jannah inshallah.
Jannatul Muslimah that's my question too! For all I know, a Muslimah was told to cover hair and their breasts. I once saw a comment that covering face isnt Islamic. My understanding to his comment is that, you cannot trust someone if you cnnot see her face. And thats agaisnt Islam.
Muslimah Princess About 80% of the classical scholars said covering face is not obligatory. There is some evidence for covering face, but the evidence that supports the normal hijab without covering face is generally stronger and more agreed upon. Some scholars say you should cover face if you think you are "more" attractive than others, but this doesn't have much support.
Python Silverblood but people say that the Niqaab is not compulsory. I think this too. I think it depends on how understand the Quraan ad we all have different ways of thinking.
Ma shaa Allah! I was meaning to search for Nouman Ali Khan’s explanation for hijab for a while, I knew he would be great explaining it, and I doubt that there’s any other person that can explain Islam better than him nowadays. Thank you so much!!!
wait wait i'm a Muslim women and i wear the Hijab but There is one thing that is bothering me. Like a man you know a man doesn't need to cover anything right. okay a women needs to cover okay okay i understand that. but If a Muslim Women didn't wear the hijab and she's a really good Muslim. She prays she reads the Quran and She gives Zakat. And ستخفرالله if the day of the judgements comes and Allah judges the Muslim Women who isn't wearing the hijab will she go to heaven or hell? i mean i know its Allah's decision. but if i didn't wear the hijab and i'm a good Muslim did everything Allah wanted us to do and i don't wear the Hijab. What will happen in the day of judgements?
Rikoruu Allah know better. We can't judge..but sister hijab is farz..so as a Muslima we must wear it..we never know which sin can lead us to hell..there are many examples..there will be people who will go to hell cause they didn't pray Salah.. which is farz..an obligation..so we can't judge..Allah is the judge..
Rikoruu It's with Allah's mercy that people will be spares hell and enter Jannah. Dont ask around too many people you will get a million different answers and at the end of the day its your choice. Dont let people make you feel bad.
I will tell u something, u better do good stuff not only for your soul, but others too, treat nature with love, help animals and just human who needs help. Treat what God has created for you. If u appreciate what God has done, and treat it with love, surely it places more value than a piece of cloth on your head.
To cover in america🙄its really hard but who said it is easy to go jannah😏Anyway i will die one day inshaallah it will be to believe Allah 😔May Allah help us🤲
Especially with the rise of Islamophobia! I have seen many sisters who were beaten and bullied because of Hijab! Men are also not safe in the west, anyone can come and kill you in the Mosque! The people who are living in the west and are practicing Muslims, they are really brave and have elite Imaan
Thank you for the way you approached this question. It's not a clear straightforward order in the Quran to cover the head, and therefore it requires some level of trust to accept someone's interpretation surrounding the obligation. I really did not believe it was an obligation to cover my hair, and most speakers do not help at all with the way they speak about it. Even now I still don't I know for sure because I don't know Arabic that way, but I decided to start wearing the hijab anyway, may Allah accept it. I just want to add that we are speaking about a piece of clothing that comes on top of all the others, after you've covered your body already, and that you don't have to wear when you're alone or with specific people. In ONE aya of the Quran, the word khimar is used in the context of an order to draw it over the chest, and the word khimar refers to a veil that covers the hair. Even this explanation doesn't clear up for me how or why the hijab has become such a central topic today, with some men making video after video about it, judging so harshly women who don't wear it. I genuinely believe that the attitude in most discussions surrounding the topic is what fuels the doubt that the hijab really is an obligation. I wish more people had the same approach as in this video.
I liked the casualness of this chat:) it makes it more comfortable because it isn't intimidating. Most scholars or lectures say and yell to get their point across but this was a lot more digestible:) may Allah bless everyone who worked in this video:)
100% agree - NAK is always calm and relaxed and explains stuff very well Sub Han Allah :)
+JustJannah🌴💎 you are 100% agreed just by lisitining to N.A.K or have you checked the aya in the Quran and understood as it is suposed to be understood. because Allah command us in 25/73 not just follow any one blindly.
+syed hussaini I don't understand what you mean, sorry :)
I totally agree 😊
+A. Dawud Oh, sorry, thank you for explaining :). But i was not talking about agreeing with what NAK was saying or even the video in general. I was just "100% agreeing" with the fact that i thought he was a good speaker, in the way he portrays the message. Sorry if this was misunderstood :)
Seriously, the more I watch of Bayyinah the more I want to learn. Alhumdulillah!
Same here. I always find myself just so...inspired by their content. So refreshing and enlightening!
assalamualaikum
brother,
Wa'laikum Salaam wa rahmattullah to both of you.
+Thefleurchic -
R u related to Sheikh Fatih Seferagic?
Lol.... I'm related to him as much as I am to you.
I reverted to Islam 12 years ago and only wore Hijab for the first time one month ago .Alhamdullilah Allah finally gave me Hidayat to put my Hijab Living in NZ and wearing it to work also I feel very blessed ❤️
I like how you use the word revert rather than convert. Alhamdulillah for the hidayah and guideness that Allah swt give you. love from malaysia
Mashallah I always say revert too people look me funny but I just tell them we are all born Muslim under Allah only some like ourselves are the lucky ones who have reverted back to where we should be alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah
That’s cool. I also reverted, I used to wear it but took it off precisely for the things happening now, and for other personal reason. Is not easy but im glad you are!
His depth of understanding of the Arabic language is phenomenal! I had no idea "hijab" and "khimar" had those meanings. I'm surprised that people are confused about covering the hair. It's a new phenomenon in our modern times. I don't think this was ever a cause of confusion before. However, covering also does not mean you are more pious than someone else because it depends on what is in the heart. Covering in the West right now takes a lot of courage. Stay strong sisters and if you can't cover your hair right now ask Allah to make you strong so that one day you will be able to.
overcometv I think these men just want these words to mean cover up. These are men discussing how women should dress! Women think for yourselves. Also if you want to live in the West if you cover up you are actually insulting people like my late Grandmother who fought for women's rights. Yes in the 1920's one of those rights was women wear less hideous clothing. People today do not realise this. Freedom for women to go swimming, to vote, to say how many children they want etc. Not to be dictated to by men. God wants men and women equal. Hopefully you will understand my point and you can be still a great Muslim without being pressured by other people what to wear. Live a good live and do good deeds is the most important thing to reach the next life.
Mary Rose Dwyer if your grandmother fought for equal rights then she would've fought for women having a choice on what they wear. If they choose to wear a headscarf then I'm sure your grandmother would support it because it's their CHOICE to. It's not two men dictating what women should wear, it's in the Qur'an. Are you even Muslim?
Naz I don’t think she is. How rude of her to say this without realizing it’s not the slaves of the creator who are telling us to do this, it is Allah himself!
overcometv Dear why do u think that it needs courage ... Is it because of the criticism they face ?
Which one of these Bible editions out there do you actually mean?!!!!
Wearing hijab is really hard . If it is actually what Allah commands. Make Dua it gets easier for me please
Kawthar Bakhach May Allah swt make it easy for you to do all that’s right.
I don't see what's so hard about. However I'll make dua
May Allah open your heart to see the beauty and feel the peace of wearing it sister.
Shaitan will bother u and say people will stare at you this and that . But Allah will be pleased with u .
J He does command it.
I loved the linguistic approach, brings an intellectual understanding to something that is usually mandated by scholars without adequate explanation.
Assalam alaikum,
I remember listening to an Islam in Focus show by Dr. Jamal Badawi in the 80's when discussing intoxicants in Islam and explaining that khamr comes from the root "khamara" meaning to cover one's mind or head; i.e. To cover one's mind or dull the mind from sensing something. It really hit me then khamr can apply not just to alcohol but any substance that dulls the mind or one's senses to one's surroundings.
But the connection between khamr and khamise did not hit me (pun intended?) until tonight when I watched this video. Alhamduallah. 😊
+Asif Kidwai correction.
Kharmise rather than khamise in the above text. It seems that one can not edits one's own comment once posted. 😊
+star hossain check out this for the whole explanation of why a woman should cover her hair. facebook.com/notes/rebecca-arefin/covering-the-head-for-women/10151642375968980?pnref=story
+star hossain which is exactly where he failed in explaining. He used his own thinking and his pseudo Sunni base. He should have used Quran to explain this. He
simply took a whole argument of covering or not and wrap around a
single verse, when prowess of Quran is in fact in it's perpetual
reminders of things. 24:31 is the verse in question and if there is any
ambiguity or discrepancy either in translation or meaning, Quran insists on a better version but from within.
25:33 says that and his answer could have been from 7:26
+star hossain how many scholars have you listen to?
As someone who doesn't cover their head, this was extremely useful. I have come across many videos which make me feel dehumanised, like I'm being yelled at and made to feel unacceptable in the ummah. All this video did was make me learn. I learned so much.
Seriously, the warmth of the videos in this channel is so beautiful masha'Allah.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to these videos

@noor Bt Unfortunately he misunderstands the meaning of the word khimar and the real commandments in the Sunna.
Same with me...
Are you wearing it right now?
Hijab makes me feel comfortable like I am safe like I have security all round me;)

Same I feel safe and I feel closer to Allah 🥰
When you do something not for anyone but to please Allah alone, He will definitely give you that love and secure feelings. Keep having faith in Allah. This world is nothing but a place of test. We try our best to live righteously. Hereafter is where we will receive our results. May we get the best result ever... i.e placement in Jannah.
Same! An extra level of safety.

Very educational. I am 15 and a Muslim myself but just now Inshallah i am going to start wearing a hijab. ❤️
May Allah bless you in this life and the next and give you confidence!
Also look up Shaykh Albani, hes really well read.
Good luck might Allah reward u and make it easy for u
Iam 15 as well and iam seriousely thinking to start wearing hijab
Fudgie pie it was very scary for me at first which is why me and my friend started wearing it together. We both didn’t like it much at first but now I’m super confident and happy with it. I’ve noticed she’s lost a bit of confidence ever since she started wearing it and that is because she is very scared of what others think. I feel very happy with it on. I’ve learnt not to care about what others think and to just do what I want and it feels amazing. I hope you start wearing it too it’s scary at first but it really doesn’t matter in the end. We all need this. Even my friend is staring to love it.
@@laibatahir4627 I'm so proud of you! I'm 17 and have been wearing it for a while and still get those pangs of unconfidence at times but it passes! Sounds cringy but wearing a simple abaya and hijab really does make you feel like a princess but its when I have to mix it with school uniform it just feels off. You sound so mature and I pray Allah makes it easier for you. We'll get a huge reward in sha allah stay strong sis!!
I take pride in covering, I've never ever felt more beautiful!
Stay beautiful ❤️

I have been wearing a scarf and covering myself for 2 years and I can honestly say I get more respect from people around me regardless of nationality or culture. I struggle with anxiety and when I wear a hijab I feel safe and my anxiety goes down. I do get a bit of hate because wearing a hijab is a declaration of your faith and in the usa people have various opinions of Islam, but if you can get people to calm down and have an open discussion with you about your coverings and what it is you believe then it kind of extinguishes that hate.
Thank you team Bayyinah. I agree with what he said. Oneday I was feeling so lost and sad so I decided to take guidance from Quran.I prayed to Allah that please guide me. So i opened Quran and told Allah that which ever verse I first see, I'm gonna take it as message from you and gonna act upon that. Alhamdulillah it was verse 24 of Surah An Nur. I used to be a non hijabi now I wear it.

No person can answer that question--God/Allah is the only one who decides who goes to heaven or hell. If you have any interest in understanding Islam, suggest you read "Islam and the Destiny of Man" by Charles Easton.
Islam is far, far deeper than you think and even most Muslims have a very simplistic, cursory understanding of their own religion. Another great writer on Islam, particularly Sufi Islam, is Prof. William C. Chittick.

(O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god except You. You have created, I am Your slave, I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon).
The starts are always awkward. But The Bayyinah team are such a breath of fresh air. May Allah reward them all. This is dahwa. Alhamdulillah.
This video has some correct and some misleading points. Yes, Khimar can refer to a scarf that covers the head. From our understanding, this is also the meaning that was used during the time of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. However, the informed conversation centers more around: does the Quran make obligatory for women to wear the "khimar" to cover their hair?
I think it is reasonable to say that the only acceptable translation for this word, given its context and understanding at the time, is that referring to a headscarf. The question then becomes, what does the Quran say about this headscarf? The Quran in 24:33 asks the Prophet to tell the believing women to "yadribna bikhmurihinna 3ala juyuubihin." What does "yadribna" mean in this instance-does it necessitate the headscarf be worn? It seems like the obvious answer that yes, daraba is an added verb presuming that the khimar is already worn, and I agree that this is the default understanding and perhaps the most desirable understanding.
However, is it obligatory to wear the khimar as a headscarf when the Quran is giving a specific instruction about how to wear the khimar? In other words, I'm suggesting that the instruction was made to be simple, since the women at the time already wore the khimar, so it asked them to use it to achieve the desired outcome: covering the breasts with a loose clothing. Rather than making new clothes, it makes sense to just cover the breasts with the clothes they already have. Additionally, if the Quran had instead said to just cover the breasts with clothing, it could be allowing for tight clothing to cover the breasts, but the objective is to cover the breasts with a loose clothing. And specifically mandating a cover with a loose clothing would have perhaps interrupted the rhyme of the verse and the eloquence of the Quran.
Furthermore, we have no consensus on how this khimar was worn at the time of the Prophet pbuh. Did the women cover most of their hair, or all of their hair? Also, since the Prophet's wives are mentioned in the hadiths to have worn the niqab, if we are basing our explanation of how to wear it on hadith, why is it that we don't come to the conclusion that the niqab is also obligatory? As a matter of fact, there is a large group of people who do come to the conclusion that the niqab is obligatory. Some even point to the Quran drawing an equivalence between the wives of the Prophet and all believing women in regards to niqab.
I am not a scholar, but I see that in the Quran, it is repeatedly mentioned that the Prophet Muhmmad pbuh is nothing but a **clear** warner. Why all this confusion then? I also see in the Quran, that it asks "do they invent about Allah what they do not know?" I do not know, but please do not pretend that you know neither, especially so casually as if it is obvious. To me, I read it and see that the traditional way is to cover the breasts using a headscarf, but it does not read as exclusionary to this being the only possible way of covering the breasts. And because it is the exemplified way, I agree that it is preferable. But don't scare women from joining Islam just because of something that is perhaps only preferable and not obligatory. Men know that it's not the hair of the woman that's the tipping point for attraction, for the majority of us, it is about covering the breasts, and so this understanding also agrees with my lived experience and that of the men I know.
If you look at the Quran alone for this issue (not that the hadith is not relevant), you will find that women are instructed to cover their juyuub (cleavage) and to lower a portion of their jalabeeb (loose clothing) over themselves. This is a simple command, cover breasts and wear loose clothing. From this alone, you can follow what your heart believes is sufficiently modest, not cheating Allah swt, because that is only cheating yourself, and I predict that most people would tend to wear sufficiently modest clothes without all the regulations put forth. For the layperson, I see the advantage of giving a specific requirement to "simplify", so I'm not opposed to it, but don't make it more confusing in the process, and recognize that these requirements would have been written more than a century from the Prophet's death pbuh.
In many regions of the world today, many people who wear the hijab are treated not fairly, to the point where it hinders them from getting work or threatens their safety on the street. We should not just accept that this is God's intention for them if the hijab is not unequivocally mandatory. Encourage people to dress modestly, and to adhere to the clear principles (loose clothing, cover cleavage) and don't beat people down for that which you are unsure about. If you made it this far into the comment, please share your opinion :)
You have put what I feel into words. I totally agree with you. But I'm also scared of deeming all these scholars wrong. They're scholars for a reason, right?

"This is False. Allah SWT Has Commanded The Women To Wear Khimar In A Certain Way.
وَ قُلۡ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ یَغۡضُضۡنَ مِنۡ اَبۡصَارِہِنَّ وَ یَحۡفَظۡنَ فُرُوۡجَہُنَّ وَ لَا یُبۡدِیۡنَ زِیۡنَتَہُنَّ اِلَّا مَا ظَہَرَ مِنۡہَا وَ لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ بِخُمُرِہِنَّ عَلٰی جُیُوۡبِہِنَّ ۪ وَ لَا یُبۡدِیۡنَ زِیۡنَتَہُنَّ اِلَّا لِبُعُوۡلَتِہِنَّ اَوۡ اٰبَآئِہِنَّ اَوۡ اٰبَآءِ بُعُوۡلَتِہِنَّ اَوۡ اَبۡنَآئِہِنَّ اَوۡ اَبۡنَآءِ بُعُوۡلَتِہِنَّ اَوۡ اِخۡوَانِہِنَّ اَوۡ بَنِیۡۤ اِخۡوَانِہِنَّ اَوۡ بَنِیۡۤ اَخَوٰتِہِنَّ اَوۡ نِسَآئِہِنَّ اَوۡ مَا مَلَکَتۡ اَیۡمَانُہُنَّ اَوِ التّٰبِعِیۡنَ غَیۡرِ اُولِی الۡاِرۡبَۃِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ اَوِ الطِّفۡلِ الَّذِیۡنَ لَمۡ یَظۡہَرُوۡا عَلٰی عَوۡرٰتِ النِّسَآءِ ۪ وَ لَا یَضۡرِبۡنَ بِاَرۡجُلِہِنَّ لِیُعۡلَمَ مَا یُخۡفِیۡنَ مِنۡ زِیۡنَتِہِنَّ ؕ وَ تُوۡبُوۡۤا اِلَی اللّٰہِ جَمِیۡعًا اَیُّہَ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ لَعَلَّکُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ
Surah An Nur Ayat 31
The Part Of Khimar
وَ لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ بِخُمُرِہِنَّ عَلٰی جُیُوۡبِہِنَّ
In Classical Arabic , In Order To Command , You Use 2nd person Fil , Make It Lightest , And Take Tha off From The Beginning. From The Ayat , It Is لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ , Which Is Female Third person Plural. Therefore The Closer Translation Of The Ayat Is
وَ لۡیَضۡرِبۡنَ بِخُمُرِہِنَّ عَلٰی جُیُوۡبِہِنَّ
And Indeed They Females Are Striking With Their(female) Khimars Over Juyb(Chest Cavity) Of Theirs(females).
This Is Not A Command , Rather A Statement Defining Muslim Women. This Means That If Someone says She Is A Muslim Female , Then A Part Of Being One Requires That She Wears Khimar In The Way Described. And Since Allah SWT Commanded Everyone To Be Muslim.
یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوا ادۡخُلُوۡا فِی السِّلۡمِ کَآفَّۃً ۪ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیۡطٰنِ ؕ اِنَّہٗ لَکُمۡ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیۡنٌ
"O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."
Surah Al Baqarah Ayat 208 Translation Saheeh International.
The Muslim Female Is Commanded By Allah SWT To Wear Khimar In A Certain Way."
I’m only a learning Muslim who can speak for myself. Our religion is between us and god and scholars are our teachers of what we don’t know however they cannot say for sure commandments, only to the best of their knowledge ( which tbf they have studied more than us). So take their teachings and reflect on them honestly and openly and in relation to your understanding and then act on your understanding in your own life. We are all learners and we will never know everything in its completely and utter degree.
AoA Ustad. This video was the reason I subscribed to your channel. This very question has been haunting me for years. Now only to find the strength to start covering my head, Inn Shaa Allah and Aameen.

+Zarlasht Qadir Khan dear sister just an advice from someone who took the jump to wear the veil before you :) first have the intention, make a lot of duaa for god to make u fall in love with hijab, start looking and noticing other hijabis around, on instagram, facebook, youtube it will make u feel not alone and show you you can still be beautiful with hijab, buy few scarfs, and start trying it out at home even for an hour, don't tight it too much on the neck so it wont bother you, even if its going out to throw garbage try to do it few times outside, it will help you so much and no people will not be looking at you because you look weird relax they dont know that your new into hijab , if you feel that u cant make the big step then baby steps towards the ultimate goal , and allah sees ur effort, he will help you out, i love hijab i cant even describe the blessing that i feel when i'm all covered alhamdulillah may allah make it easy for you and all the sisters out there
+Zarlasht Qadir Khan All the best :)
At the end of the day, Allah swt knows best and judges us solely based on our soul. May Allah bless us all and guides us to the straight path
+mo ah Ameen.
Now that is a lovely thought. It's exactly how I feel, or would feel if I weren't an atheist. I do live by a few simple rules: love yourself and others, do no harm and don't judge. For religious people, if you truly believe all that is said about God, then in the end he's the only one with the knowledge and power to judge. Us humans should be most considered with how we behave ourselves.
Yes and that means that we have to do our own thinking and Allah will help us in coming to the right answer, instead of following these "scholars" who are pushing their own agenda!
alhamdulililahh, Allah bless us and guide to stay on the right path ameen.

Hamdulillah, it makes me excited about what i believe! It makes me so proud. Good work everyone!
This has not convinced me . I understand what is being said , but i feel like if Allah is saying to use the current head covering you have on to cover your chest, i feel like the importance is clearly the chest area ans not the hair. I feel like if the hair was the important area to cover then it would of been specified. Back in the time the Quran was being recited/revealed to prophet Muhammad some women already wore a type of head covering for what ever reasons .There is a reason that so many Muslim women do not wear a hijab, it's because they honestly don't believe it is a requirement from Allah based on the above mentioned chapter.Thank you for this video , it was a truly interesting and smooth flowing discussion :)
Esther Corbin your comment made me sure about why the head is included if it means anything, in that the examples of word's origin in the word alcohol and horse's head, it is pretty clear. I have seen a video that explains it of being cultural or circumstances of the time but we all know that the Quran is timeless and for all mankind. Thanks for the comment.
Now you're just justifying the sin of not wearing it.
The video is clear. Watch it again if you have to.

It is fine I sin too. We should seek forgiveness. Rather than justify the sin by trying to change the commands of Allah.
A Muslim is one that submits.
To force a woman or bring harm to one because she doesn't want to wear a veil is haram. The intent is modesty.. but not just that take into account the time and place. Now while that being said, not wearing doesn't make you less Muslim and if you think so then you've lost sight of what is really important.
Covering is fard so the men responsible for their women need to learn and teach and tell their women to cover which is also fard and I not full filling a fard is haram
Not wearing a hijab is haram for someone who has reached puberty and isen't faced with direct harm such as extremist christian parents who have threatened to kill or kick their daughter out to the streets if she wears it. Ibdon't know what you mean when you say that not wearing it does not make you less a Muslim but like i said it is an obligation that has been placed on us and not carrying it out is to disobey Allah. Besides, its not just that many dont wear hijab, they also wear tight pants, full set make up and do other kinds of tabarruj. That is a major sin and the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam said that there would be women in later times who will be "dressed yet naked" as not be allowed to smell the fragrance of jannah. So please don't try to make it seem like a small sin to not wear hijab or to do tabarruj. Also, men must stop wearing tight pants that show the shape of their butt and thighs as well as the area between the navel and knees are awrah for them.
Exactly
@The Media Lies Against Islam 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
@The Media Lies Against Islam how dare you say that? Your words are discouraging. And regardless on whether I agree with you or not, Allah is the one who decides who's truly muslim and who isn't, and Allah can make as many exceptions as he pleases.
I agree that khimar was used at the time to mean covering the head. But my reading of this verse, which this video seems to confirm, is that Allah is saying to draw the headcover over the chest, to cover it. I have heard that their dresses had open slits at the neck which could be revealing, but I do not know if this is correct for certain. This was a very easy way for them to be more modest without needing to make expensive new clothing. So the command is to cover the chest with something they are already wearing. But there is no command to cover the head, just an acknowledgement that this was being done at the time. So this video did not actually address whether covering the head is commanded by Allah in that verse.
+Julie Barkley By Allah SWT using the word khimar which means to cover the head up to the belly that is from the chest. The Ayah says for women to cover the head and in the position of covering the front. Salam
+Julie Barkley Also Allah SWT says women in specific and sys that the khimar has to also cover breast.
Im sorry but if god hasnt told me directly in the quran women must cover the hair on their heads then its a no from me because he does not expect us to ready between the lines, if he did then every command from him would be difficult to analyse which we know is not the case.
Same darling.that is what I was thinking

Problem with us is, we see an effort like this which is beautifully done and then what do we come off with? "There's music in this, "the women aren't fully covered," "the women in the video have makeup on." SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?
I know...crazy. smh :(
True, but what if someone thought it's okay to do all of those things because they saw it here? Which is a real possibility. I do agree that some people don't seem sincere.
haha, so true. but someone forgot to tell 'hey she is wearing nailpolish!! its haram tooo' LOL those people are so sad.
+LOCO3k first and foremost, people really shouldn't be taking fiqh lessons from youtube and youtube can never been a fiqh and shariah institute. There are other schools of thoughts where music is considered permissible, and makeup, and the belief that women shouldn't just be kept in shoeboxes. Most would say it's not halal, but some would say it is. It is not an issue that is being talked about in this video. It's like Al Kahf all over again, Allah taught the people about the youths and the sacrifices they did and the amazing things they did and their questions afterwards were about how many of them were there or what type of dog was it. It's about relevance. There is a place and time for everything. These questions should not be on any youtube video and people really should not ever, EVER take fiqh advice from youtube. There are islamic teachers in your own communities to learn that properly from.
+LOCO3k Bayyinah Institute has done an amazing job trying to explain the Quran in a concise fashion so that we can all move closer to Allah so that our hearts will be purified. Don't u think that the more closer you are to Allah, all these external, small stuff would come easier for people to let go. Also it's disappointing that in a video with 2 men as the main subjects, the men watching the video chose to focus on the blurred women, or the faceless woman's hands or a THUMBNAIL. It is further proof to non-muslims especially that Muslim men seem incapable to control themselves and their eyes. There are going to be beautiful women everywhere. Are you gonna be able to tell Allah that "wallahi I had no choice. They chose to be in front of me."
Thank you- 30 years and did not understand....
I love how simple you make Quran and its teaching, may ALLAH, all mighty, bless you
In bible and Torah it is explicitly mentioned that women must cover their "hair". Quran doesn't have such verse. Hair or head is never mentioned. The meaning is vague and always hidden. It gives a description of how to use a "cultural" garment. the organ that is explicitly mentioned is chest/breast. Maybe you should focus on that. Moreover the ablution before each prayer is focusing on the parts that are exposed to outside. Hands, face, feet (think about sandalet, we are in arabia so no boots ;) ), neck and head (hair). Those rules are not different from men to women, so the parts that are exposed to outside suppose to be same. If you cover your hair be my guest but I believe god knows how to say "cover your hair".
Yes that’s exactly what I was thinking!
This is an excellent excellent point that I never thought of or read about! ... While hair covering is nowhere talked about, if we take khimar to be a head cover as opposed to just any covering, then also.... in ablution the parts exposed to outside are mentioned, and head is included in it.👍

OMG ! . . May Allah swt give you loooong life and teach us more and more, Ameen.
And love the way this series got up . . Wow Usthad Nouman
I love this format, well done to all involved it's a great concept!
anxiety depression and negative thoughts came from me wearing hijab as a young girl, I can still be modest without it.
hi - yes exactly! Modestly can be achieved in a multitude of ways
hi - hmm
Key is to always find a balance
Fats no anxiety depression and all negative is not associated to hijab in any way
If you have mental problems you should go to doctor not take off your hijab
Fats and modesty is what Allah say in the Quran and anything else is not modest
Thank you from France. Un grand merci pour votre travail!!
Alhamdulillah . I’m am so glad you addressed this issue and have made it clear. May Allah swt reward you for all your help. Ameen 🤲🏽
I find that, the majority of first generation Muslims - who want to act like westerners but do not want to leave the fold of Islam to do so - Take these misunderstandings to justify this. They want to act like their friends, they want to cave in to peer pressure. But they don't want to displease Allah, so how can they do both?
This is why, Allah warns us against ignorance, and this is why the Prophet (pbuh) prayed for knowledge. It's because ignorance is the greatest tool that Iblis has against humanity. The devil will always attempt to misguide us, and If we do not do everything in our power to defend ourselves from this, then we have no one to blame but ourselves when we become misguided.
Thank you for telling me this brother Nouman, for now when this is told to me by a Muslimah I can tell her the truth. I use to say "The Qur'an is guidance from Allah, yes, but it is the hadith of the prophet (pbuh) that explains to us in detail what Allah Has declared in the Qur'an"
Now I can see, that it indeed means head covering.
+Mohammad Al-Zawahreh everything makes perfect sense in the Qur'an Alhamdulillah!
+Mohammad Al-Zawahreh Having just spoken about belief to a Muslim friend, yesterday, who admitted to having doubts and believing every reasoning person having doubt, I think your "first generation Muslims" are on the right track. All they need to break them of believing in any supposed gods is a little more rational discussion and reading. I'm looking forward to that time when religions are relegated to the historical and cultural niches they belong in. They might be quirky and fun relics of the past, but they obviously have no place in a rational future for humanity.
+propoetide that's almost more of a pipe dream than some religions are hehe sorry for being so blunt with that statement though
Muzzammil Syed All religions preceding the current ones have become extinct too. But sure it's a pipe dream, since I doubt I'll live long enough for the religious to catch up to reality. It's they that will suffer most for it though.
propoetide That's an interesting way to approach religion propoetide.
20000 Americans convert to Islam every year.
When questioned; these people previously being of various faiths or no faiths at all; having various degrees of education.
Each and everyone of them said they converted to Islam because it is rational, it makes sense, it doesn't contradict any and all scientific revelation rather it CONFIRMS it.
So; the fact that you are of the opinion that religion and in particular Islam is anti-rational, is most interesting.
I wonder, do you know more then these people who chose to dedicate their entire lives to this ideology?
Perhaps. Or perhaps you are a pessimistic person who enjoys seeing peoples hope and faith drain away.
I'd really like to talk to your "Muslim" friend. Clearly; he/she needs to get better friends.

Alhamdulliah I wore my hijab this Ramadan, my mom doesn’t accept me with it. She says it’s not my culture and that I can be a good Muslim in my heart and I don’t need to show and display it. But alhamdulliah I kept wearing it and I will never think of removing it. This is my choice and I will keep my choice till the very end. Girls, don’t be discouraged it’s okay to have your choice made, if your relationship with allah ever gets distracted by anyone even if it’s your mother don’t change for them don’t change for anyone. Only for Allah. Stay strong. Jazakallah

One of my greatest fears is reading and not gaining through understanding of the Qur'an because of translation and simplification, I feel like I MUST learn Arabic now.

yes me too
even the Arabic speakers have different point of views in this issue
@@noor1991hb No, there has never been an issue regarding Hijab for 1400 yrs, its the west mocking your beliefs and shaking your faith. Why do you listen to the west, why is their immodest clothing is better than what Allah prescribed. Why are people trying to please the west instead of Allah, these people are falling into shirk, which is a territory one must be careful not to fall in it ever.
I have an issue with this talk. Veil in English can take these multiple meanings as well, Veil over the face or just a shawl. So in the end you have to look at the intent of the verse. The verse says to take the khimaar and to cover the chest/bosom, which is from collar bone to belly or even the front (sadr means chest as well as front). So the point is that women's entire chests be covered with a covering. My take is that if you want to wear a head covering that also does that then so be it.. There is nothing wrong with that. But if you just wear a shawl or covering that covers the chest then that is fine too! I don't think you can force it to mean headcover here when the intent is to cover the chests.

This is petty. We men are supposed to be protectors of women. It is their safety, their security, their access to education, to jobs, to financial security, to their health, to safe child birth, to their freedom from exploitation as well as to non violent marriage that should be our concern. In these areas we have failed our women!
There should of course be regulation of sexual behaviour. But that should apply to both sexes equally. And we should discuss this in an honest fashion. What are the principles that we can adopt when discussing the regulation of sexual behaviour in society in general? It cannot be the total restriction of women's freedom of movement, of association, of speech and thought as well as curtailing their desires and ambitions.
What does the hijab achieve? What is so sinful about a woman not wearing a hijab? What is with women's hair that its exposure will lead to society's moral collapse?
ohhhh why not so many muslim men like u((
What is petty? There are things that are fard on women and others that are fard on men. Men are obligated to not gaze at woman's body or make her uncomfortable, and whoever does that faces consequences in the day of Judgement.
Amirul Azhar Omar 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Well said
Amirul Azhar Omar I wish a lot of muslim men would think like you
To me it would appear the emphasis of the original statement is on a woman covering her chest, more so than the head itself
Lorena Smith that’s true hijab was just a tradition/fashion they would be wearing it tucked behind their ear and they would literally wear an open jacket with their chests showing
A lot of people are still arguing about covering the chest and head here.
You guys are making opinion by taking DIRECTLY from Quran
so Quran said to kill non muslim and not be friend with them
Will you do it?
Or look at the history.
Why not doing same for this.
@@BDaTDaSADaNDaIME well Quran doesn't tell you to kill non-Muslims it tells you to fight them implying that you have to strike them should they hit you first, and as to not friend them no it doesn't tell you that it infact tells you that you should respect the other religions.
Indeed and apparently because they were being harassed at night.
@@m-hellothere4167 still you have to look at the history and know why the line was sent.Same goes for hijab related line.Don't make up based on line .know the history
So happy this topic has been brought up and discussed as it’s been a recent debate upon women recently. I think the conflict comes from women initially wearing it not knowing fully the reason why. As we get older and read in the quraan , like you said , some feel it’s not clear enough and a lot have actually taken off their hijab for that reason, which is unfortunate. I partially blame some scholars in the past that hadn’t taken the time to properly discuss and explain this topic clearly, rather they’ve focused on just how a woman is seductive to men, from a more objectifying perspective. Another issue I feel women face is that some mention, that ok maybe it is reccomended that we do wear it but is not compulsory as it is not mentioned anywhere that there is any punishment for not doing so. Would love to hear Dr.Khan do a long talk discussing these issues and helping us find the correct answers we’re looking for.
Thank you brother Nouman Ali Khan may allah bless you and your channel.
Masha Allah from England 🏴
First! Alhamdulillah for this series!
but the way i see it is that the aya is focused on women covering their bosoms. The emphasis wasn't on covering the head itself. If it was that much of a necessity it would have been worded differently. The Quran is worded the way it is worded on purpose. And focus was placed on other things that are far more important such as salah, siam, lying, stealing, zaka etc
Thank you making that point! The Quran is worded with a purpose. There are other things that are way way more emphasised than the issue of covering hair, yet Muslims hold it with such high passion as of it is the most repeated verse of the Quran. It is not. Salat, zakat, good deeds, taqwa, modesty are some of the central themes.
God knows best.

Asalamualaikum jazak Allah Khair for making this video. I am a muslim revert sister and i have seen written in my Quran translation 'cover your chest' as mentioned in the video but i was always unsure that was the correct meaning. Alhamdulillah i have worn a scarf since the day i became Muslim as i felt it was the correct thing to do and it was such a natural thing for me to wear. I literally feel naked when i am not wearing it even out in my garden. This video will help me to explain to my daughter why mummy wears a scarf. May Allah allow you to make more of these informative videos Insha Allah
Khimar is literally a piece of cloth or a cover. It could be a table cloth, a shawl, a blanket, curtains, any item of clothing or anything that is a piece of cloth that covers something. Going further into one story, it’s described as a cloak. The rich women owned cloaks but the servants didn’t own them. So when rich women went to the edge of the settlement to relieve themselves in the night, the men would recognise them by their cloak and leave them alone. But servants would be harassed by the men. So to stop this occurring, the servants were told to wear a khimar (cloak) so that they wouldn’t be harassed by the men. So they would be ‘recognised’ as free and wealthy women.
The idea that Arabs considered a head covering as the meaning of khimar was a later interpretation. Yes a khimar could be used to cover the head, but that doesn’t make it a head covering. It could be as easily used to cover the ground before sitting down. The Quran says to use khimar (a piece of cloth/clothing) to cover the cleavage/bussom, but quite literally the ‘sacred gaps’. The places on the body where flesh meets flesh. In other words, the places the Quran says to cover, with khimar or otherwise, are between the legs, the cleavage and the armpits can also be considered in the same way as the flesh meets there too. There is never any mention of covering the head at any point in the Quran. As the Quran states very clearly that nothing has been left out of this book, I think if Allah had intended head covering, He would have been explicit about that intent. Also as the Prophet himself was reprimanded by Allah for making laws to suit his wives, when they were not from Allah, then we absolutely should not be making laws or even suggesting them with this kind of semantic acrobatics. If it was intended, Allah would have been explicit in the Quran. He was explicit about the other important issues.
Whats your point?
I'm guessing you didnt come here to learn but to spout your modernist narrative and interpretation

I love how a random youtube comment is trying to explain to us the Arabic language. Some people study the arabic language for 10 years even then they don't pass judgement on the Quran but some random people on youtube will Google the meaning of a word thinking that they understand everything about it without looking at the context of the ayah or what the scholars of Arabic language say about this ayah. If you are knowledgeable in the arabic language and have the tools of Arabic then only you can come to intellectually acceptable opinions.
I am a Muslim,but I really feel that islam is so strict😕. especially the islam which is preached by our Pakistani molvis😢. May Allah guide me. but some of the Islamic rules totally don't make sense to me. why does islam says that women aren't allowed to do jobs? why their voice is considered auurah?..whenever I think of these strict rules I literally cry. and sometimes I wish I wasn't born a girl because islam is too hard for women💔💔💔💔💔
I understand you. Some interpretations of Islam are very strict. I think, if you believe in your heart in the message of Islam. You should be okay to live your life as best you see fit, within reason of course. That’s just my view. “Women can’t do jobs” that’s very strict. That may be a cultural Pakistani thing? Idk.
Where the f*** it says women are not allowed to do jobs? Hazrat Khadija, the first wife of Prophet PBUH, she was doing more than the job, the business!
And in Pakistan, women are in every field, IDK which Pakistan you are talking about!
And BTW, Pakistan is not an Islamic country!
Dear, most of the horrible stuff comes from our cultural background. Islam, the system of God, the deen given from allah is made easy for us. Try to pray and read about different interpretations... then understand from it and pray...
Sister the Islam that the culture in India/Pak has thought is not the true Islam. Women are allowed to do jobs but with hijab and somewhere where the environment is safe. Our voice is considered an Aurah because voices of women are sweet and that might attract the attention of men.. all these things Allah has given us for our own benefit. I know the culture has ruined many things for us. Islam has given many rights to women, even if she works she doesn't need to provide for the family, she can hold property, keep her own surname etc..
@@zainabirfan1809 Women's voice are not aurah in Hanafi madhab as prefered opinion
I don't like it when women would try to twist things about wearing hijab or khimar simply because they don't want to wear it. Girl, if you don't want to wear it.. Then don't wear it. Just remember that in the end of the day (when you die), you cannot argue with Allah. You're gonna have to take responsibility for it.
It's not that simple for some sisters, of having a choice to where it or not!! That is mostly a western thing. In an Islamic country there is no choice! In some western instances there is also no choice, the father or brother simply won't allow that, and no Muslim man will show any respect to a woman who is displaying herself, and not living rightous.
Beautiful interpretation! Ustad Nauman is blessed MashaAllah!
The verses before An-Nur 24:31 make it very clear alhumdulillah that it's for "Protection & Purity" of Mominaat And Momineen. 24:31 also explains to whom they can reveal their "Zeenat" [one of the keywords of this aayah...must also be explored & understood]
The word "Auraat" also clarifies & emphasises the importance of "Privacy of women". [again protection from ones in 24:23]
It has always been about protection; *most precious → most protected!

I have been learning about Islam for many years. I reverted almost a year ago alhamdullilah. But this video was what helped me with my decision to wear hijab 3 months ago. My heart was there and I knew that I had to do it and I always admired the hijab - but for me I need to understand why we do the things we do. This video enabled my head to catch up with my heart. Education is vital for me. I truly consider that Islam is a blessing as it fulfills me spiritually, emotionally and intellectually.

As an Arab, knowing that word meaning naturally
and seeing how arabs used to dress before and now
that fabric wasn't measured to like hide the hair completely
there isn't any single indications for hiding hair, even if it was on the head
they would always show some hair even if they used it
but now I think we use hijab In matter of Cms ... if one hair is out we hate on the woman
when in reality if she was modest .. regardless .. that strand of hair doesn't matter
and the importance in that Aya is to cover the chest and neck area .. there is no indication that says
the hair is strictly shouldn't be visible.. old arabs with scarfs they used to show some part of their hairs
and it was never a taboo.
Ya habibi,
If this was the sole meaning then why even mention Khimar? This is the word of God, we're not interpreting a George Orwell novella here. Specific words are there in the Qur'an for a reason.
If someone wants to find a loophole they'll find one no matter what. Try and think about it objectively and lay out the arguments please.
Khimar goes from the head to the chest yeah? Meaning it covers the face too.
Plus Allah says don't be like the women of jahilliyah. So if they covered in jahilliyah, it means we need to cover more than they did. This is in line with what the video has clarified. Ofcourse if you don't wanna wear you could find excuses not to. Doesn't mean it isn't fard on you, you know.
True point. Even if it is a head cover... people have cimmitted excessiveness and now even if a single hair strand is visible they treat it like a taboo and demean women sometimes... 😭😭

That all depends on the preproduction phase. Was it well planned and scripted? I think this was adlibed cause of his knowledge of the matter. doesn't seem like he was reading any of this. if one camera was used ull have to make multiple takes of same discussion from different angles then you can edit and cut to make it seem like multiple cameras were used, this process takes longer. if you have multiple cameras then you just tape the scene ones or as many times as you like it till you have what you need and then edit in post production. benefit of multicam production is you can edit on the spot through use of programs and mixers. but this process requires more staff. camera. lighting. director. technical director who is usually the board operator as well. an inexperienced team will produce this video anywhere from 10 to 20 hours depending on how organized they were. an experienced team can fly through this within an hour or two at the most.
+Shoaib Khan A video of this quality I'd say at least 3-5 hours, maybe more.
I hope Bayyinah answers this because i still have an "issue" with the hijab. I understand that "kheemar" by definition means a head cover, but when i read that Allah told the women to take their kheemar and place it at the front, i don't understand what makes it an *obligation* rather than just a *recommendation*? What about women at the time who perhaps didn't even wear the kheemar on the back? Jazakum Allah
It's good to strive to understand everything. However for us who haven't dedicated our lives to the Islamic sciences we must listen to those who have. The scholars. They have principles for what counts as a recommendation and what counts as a command. If you want to understand this you must study a lot. The agreement of scholars is enough for us to adhere to the rulings of Islam though. I hope that helped
Imagine for a second a legal document directed towards the employes of a firm in which they are told certain 'do's and don'ts'.On top of the document the management has declared that all instructions therein are a binding and obligation on the employes.
Now should the employes ask before every instruction whether it is an obligation or recommendation ? Offcourse all instructions are obligations !
*CONTINUED
*CONTINUED..
The same happens in Surah Nur in which these ayat about the Khimar are revealed.
Allah has declared right at the start that "We have revealed this Surah and obligated whatever is in it..."
So it is very clear that all instructions in this Surah are obligations not recommendations.
+Abdullah Tariq That's a very good explanation Ma shaa Allah :) may Allah Subhana Wa Tala bless you In shaa Allah 🙂🙂
Abdullah Tariq Those are good points but the ayah talks about those who wore the khimar at the back and told them to wear it at the front. What about those who didn't wear at all?

where from u
I liked the way he was talking, he seemed very calm and nice, however I do not agree with this at all, if allah wanted the head to be specifically covered, he would say "use the Khimar to cover your head up to your belly" however, it does not say this in the Quran it says to put the khimar over yourself. I feel like Muslim women always get pressured, for instance some people are saying that the girls in the video shouldn't be there as they look too beautiful..... That's just stupid. Some scholars have told women to cover anything that is attractive when that's not true. They just need to cover their chest and their backsides to protects themselves and stop men from thinking bad things about her.

Mr. Nouman Ali Khan is missing the point. Nobody says a word that means covering the head is not mentioned in Quran. He should have recited the verse and the interpreted. The argument is that the Allah says to women in the verse , "use your khimers( the veil that you wear on your head and shoulder) to cover your breasts or chest. " , so from this verse it is clear that wearing khimer is not obligated but covering breasts is made compulsory.
A.o.a. How and where do we email Ustaad Nouman Ali Khan to ask personal questions or to clear concepts we're not sure about, but not publicly?

Thank you : )
But I'm still slightly confused - the function of "hijab" or khimar as said in Qur'an is for the purpose of modesty so I have two questions:
1) Can you not be modest as in still cover your chest wear baggy clothes etc without wearing a hijab/covering on your head?
2) Some muslim women also wear turbans where the head is covered but the neck shows - is this ok in Islam as in is it permissable?
I'm trying to do research on hijab and it's so confusing - is the covering on your head really mandatory? If you don't are you much more likely to go to Hell?
Please help me!
Assalamualaikum,
1. I know what you mean, but this was ordained by Allah. God said to cover the head as well as the neck/cleavage area. If one tries to accomplish a goal without taking the steps they've been told to take, do you think they are serious or at least will be successful?
2. Well, I'm not a scholar. But seems like, at least from the video, that the neck should be covered.
3. If it was asked clearly in the Qur'an then it is mandatory. However, saying that one is going to hell for not doing it is a BIG thing. Only Allah knows.

i know that muslim women HAVE to wear hijab to cover their head as Allah subhanahu wata ala said so in the Quraan but is niqaab compulsory? Also at what age should a women start to waer niqaab? A lot of people say that the hijab is okay to wear but the niqaab is kind of extreme? Some people say that Allah says in the Quraan to just wear an abaya and hijab and that He didn't say women should wear niqaab? I'm getting confused on this. Please can you make a video or reply to me on this comment and explain this using verses from the Quraan and Hadith.
Also a lot of people criticise others about being Sunni, Wahabi and Shia, what is the difference between them and is it wrong to be any of them? Can we be two of them? Like being half sunni and half wahabi?

Jannatul Muslimah that's my question too! For all I know, a Muslimah was told to cover hair and their breasts. I once saw a comment that covering face isnt Islamic. My understanding to his comment is that, you cannot trust someone if you cnnot see her face. And thats agaisnt Islam.
Muslimah Princess About 80% of the classical scholars said covering face is not obligatory. There is some evidence for covering face, but the evidence that supports the normal hijab without covering face is generally stronger and more agreed upon. Some scholars say you should cover face if you think you are "more" attractive than others, but this doesn't have much support.
Python Silverblood but people say that the Niqaab is not compulsory. I think this too. I think it depends on how understand the Quraan ad we all have different ways of thinking.
Arzoo Imran as a muslim i don't care what a woman wears but her personality matters and her deeds i never look dirty on woman
Ma shaa Allah! I was meaning to search for Nouman Ali Khan’s explanation for hijab for a while, I knew he would be great explaining it, and I doubt that there’s any other person that can explain Islam better than him nowadays. Thank you so much!!!
@Simpsons LOL XD are you a scholar?
@Simpsons LOL XD ma shaa Allah, well done! Thanks for answering 🙂
I love the way they conducted this video, so casual. Excellent video :)
wait wait i'm a Muslim women and i wear the Hijab but There is one thing that is bothering me. Like a man you know a man doesn't need to cover anything right. okay a women needs to cover okay okay i understand that. but If a Muslim Women didn't wear the hijab and she's a really good Muslim. She prays she reads the Quran and She gives Zakat. And ستخفرالله if the day of the judgements comes and Allah judges the Muslim Women who isn't wearing the hijab will she go to heaven or hell? i mean i know its Allah's decision. but if i didn't wear the hijab and i'm a good Muslim did everything Allah wanted us to do and i don't wear the Hijab. What will happen in the day of judgements?
Rikoruu Allah know better. We can't judge..but sister hijab is farz..so as a Muslima we must wear it..we never know which sin can lead us to hell..there are many examples..there will be people who will go to hell cause they didn't pray Salah.. which is farz..an obligation..so we can't judge..Allah is the judge..
Rikoruu It's with Allah's mercy that people will be spares hell and enter Jannah. Dont ask around too many people you will get a million different answers and at the end of the day its your choice. Dont let people make you feel bad.
Of course muslim Men are going to say u will go to hell.. How its still not obvious
I will tell u something, u better do good stuff not only for your soul, but others too, treat nature with love, help animals and just human who needs help. Treat what God has created for you. If u appreciate what God has done, and treat it with love, surely it places more value than a piece of cloth on your head.
All of them are the command of Allah. Giving zakat, praying. And so is wearing the hijab
This is still an issue in 2019
To cover in america🙄its really hard but who said it is easy to go jannah😏Anyway i will die one day inshaallah it will be to believe Allah 😔May Allah help us🤲
Ameen be strong sister never fall to the devil
@@yacine9809 thanks,now i am not in america but it can,May Allah helps muslim girls who living there
Especially with the rise of Islamophobia!
I have seen many sisters who were beaten and bullied because of Hijab!
Men are also not safe in the west, anyone can come and kill you in the Mosque!
The people who are living in the west and are practicing Muslims, they are really brave and have elite Imaan
@@--_-5887 yes you are right,i think so,too.*Real muslim girls have to ve like deaf and Real muslim men have to be like blind.
şeyma xyz NiCe
Thank you for the way you approached this question. It's not a clear straightforward order in the Quran to cover the head, and therefore it requires some level of trust to accept someone's interpretation surrounding the obligation. I really did not believe it was an obligation to cover my hair, and most speakers do not help at all with the way they speak about it. Even now I still don't I know for sure because I don't know Arabic that way, but I decided to start wearing the hijab anyway, may Allah accept it.
I just want to add that we are speaking about a piece of clothing that comes on top of all the others, after you've covered your body already, and that you don't have to wear when you're alone or with specific people. In ONE aya of the Quran, the word khimar is used in the context of an order to draw it over the chest, and the word khimar refers to a veil that covers the hair. Even this explanation doesn't clear up for me how or why the hijab has become such a central topic today, with some men making video after video about it, judging so harshly women who don't wear it. I genuinely believe that the attitude in most discussions surrounding the topic is what fuels the doubt that the hijab really is an obligation. I wish more people had the same approach as in this video.
Subhan Allah .
Fantastically explained
Jazak Allah khair
May Allah guide us to right path ..
