- Alaa Murabit's family moved from Canada to Libya when she was 15. Before, she’d felt equal to her brothers, but in this new environment she sensed big prohibitions on what she could accomplish. As a proud Muslim woman, she wondered: was this really religious doctrine? With humor, passion and a refreshingly rebellious spirt, she shares how she discovered examples of female leaders from across the history of her faith - and how she launched a campaign to fight for women's rights using verses directly from the Koran.

“I am Muslim,
Islam is Perfect but I am not. If I make a mistake blame it on me, not on my religion.”
I'm an anything and it's perfect dont point out it's flaws though plz it's my fault it's not perfect after all... that's you if you didnt catch it. No religion is perfect they all have flaws because they were created by men like you. Know if you want to say god is perfect fine but you can't say god supports your religion because your religion isn't perfect and god is.
The thing i’ve always Wanted to say!!!
killing non believers is perfect? I'm not saying it isn't but it does say that.
@@Damzyl27 Don't fool yourself please
@@barikakhalidi8004 Why tax them on top of that if it was self defense? they seem to be in a venerable position if you can tax them. I actually the conservative aspects of islam but I want a nation of europeans without muslim invaders. That begins with stopping israel and removing our current leaders though.
"Why, if we are equal in the eyes of God, are we not equal in the eyes of men?" *chills*
Sara X you get suspiciously defensive probably because you are a woman but still
Analytical Process no
Did your god tell you that you were "equal"?
Analytical Process how can u say that without experience? See it’s different from being one than hearing one ok 👍 so u have no rights so say that Islam is evil
Sir Pumpington Of Dumpenshire yes.
I needed this. “Why, if we are equal in the eyes of Allah, are we not equal to men”?
Okay I have some answers wish it is useful for you
Equal to allah meaning if a man lied and a woman done the same they both have done the same mistake ,
The men and women are deferent , (iam a girl btw ) Women have different bodies than men. When you see videos of awards ceremonies, actors, you will find that men wear almost the same clothes (at most) and women wear different and immodest clothes to attract attention The question here is why men do not do the same ؟
Men were brought here on earth after destroying their planet Mars in the beginning all there was were wombmen. If you know Allah you would know that Allah means All law and All love
Aside from the feminism and the womanism, we play different roles…women create men build
In Quran , has Allah ever talked solely to women ? Always it's either men or muslims or prophet.
@@trinidad-deemoorroom1723for men Allah arrange 72 virgins....is he a pimp?
When I see a Muslim woman talking about peace and being equal to muslim men, my brain goes "Oh bless her, the pour thing has no clue..." and my heart sinks at the same time. I'm with them and wish them succes, but i'm a realist, and i've travelled in many muslim countries...
She cherry picked verses that match what she wants her religion to say. She ignored the one that says it's OK to beat your wife and have sx slaves. And the one that makes it clear a man can marry prepubescentgirls
They are delusional
so because they can't go out half naked they're oppressed ?
I've concluded they are a weapon of Islam, there is no way this grown woman doesn't know what her religion is about, it's like the Muslims that fought alongside gays, they're against everything gays stand for but they play along for their security and once they're numbers have increased they flip, like Muhammad saying "Say to the Christians and the Jews, you have your religion and I have my religions" as soon as Islam grew the mentality of "you do your thing, I do my thing" turned into "Islam is the only true religion and unbelievers should be put to death"
Respectfully, being dressed normally is not half naked@@Wowyouexist1234
This title is misleading, she barely references actual scripture. She only provides examples of how modern society has moderated Islam and made it slightly more tolerable. That religion needs a reformation so we can ignore it like we do with Christianity and Judaism.
007MrYang "That religion needs a reformation" - that is actually impossible, Mohamed actually strictly forbid it. So if anyone would try to do it, then they are heretics and then... well u can imagine.
gottimw sounds like Mohammed had very little faith in what he was saying if he needed to add in something as obvious as that
Norat Dnal
on a contrary I think. He must have plenty of faith in himself and confidence. The end of the day he created one of the leading religions.
It needs to have a tidal wave of moderates that schematically break it apart like the Protestant reformation. The reformation was the end of the Catholic Church's big brother mentality.
gottimw Really? He was so confident in its perfection that he needed to make sure that people who don't see it as perfect needed to be forbidden from pointing out imperfections in this "perfect" book which is not badly written and doesn't contradict itself in anyway... Ho how could I have been so blind, you're right it is impossible. Who could possibly deny the perfect word of God and how do we know it was written by God well it says so LoL
Heaven lies underneath the feet of your mother
Only pagans don't respect their mothers
so... the only position to fullfill as a women is motherhood.... great...
Not really. It's actually every position. For example There's a Hadith were it was said the best amongst you are there ones who are best to there wives
Ayub Alom wives... great... also... mention important female rulers in the islamic world prior european colonialism
Nadiya Nanoha Can you try a bit harder? Lmao you're pathetic
Why are Muslims trying to tell such things to other people who already respect women. Why don’t they go and say these thing to their own Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
double standards and hypocrisy
I see you are against this masterpiece .it's funny how people don't like the truth nowadays but god bless you.may Allah guide you the right path
Right questions thay prohibite woman and girl to do anything and strictly follow thier religion and Don't have freedom of speech and choice in Islamic countries except western countries
It's really very motivating, this experience from Alaa Murabit. She is a moslem woman who really inspires me that parental education based on her religion can make us be a strong women and able to uphold justice. With strong determination and direct verses of the Qur'an, she was able to launch a campaign to fight for women's rights. She searched for information about women leaders throughout Islamic history and she found Siti Khadijah as an innovative, strong politically, economically and even military woman leader. That's why she can fight for women's rights, because her base information is very strong and real.
Alhamdulillah! Woman are field to be ploughed by men! Muhammad is genius to reduce women to dirt to be stepped on!
Quran 2:223

i'm watching this after getting frustrated by the sexism in our society and also even in my own family. What hurts even more is that even the women in the society are sexist and think that what they're doing is right. In the name of religion everyone has been doing wrong and that too
for a long time.
Edit: I'm in no way bashing Islam. In fact I love my religion. I was just pointing out the wrong interpretation ppl follow regarding Quran thinking what they're doing is "religiously appropriate".
woo.... chill. even my sister is sexist and again she supports women that women can do everything and again she is sexist to womenand says the boys can do better than women. just weird dumb people.
i dont understand how ppl thinks that its alllll the damn time women are innocent. ..even being a girl...i think i am hating women because i was bullied by jealous , envious, toxic bitches at university. i know not all were bad... but majority were so damn jealous of me... whenever i see a women suffer anything. ..i dont have sympathy for her because what happened to me by girls makes me hate women so much. stop trying to defend women everywhere. . some are really as cruel as men or mothrr in law or whatever. i am very much done with girls... now i am ignoring them avoiding them..now those bitches themselves come towards me because they are affected by my ignoring them. but ill continue to ignore them to make them.. its quite sad but because of my experience i dont feel empathy for girls. please all of u stop acting like its women who are best everytime, everywhere. . some are very professional jealous bitches
@@redlilly2584 it's like you're saying that it is okay for the world to call Muslims terrorists because if what some mad Kharijites who have nothing to do with Islam do! May your heart be healed, do not let some rubbish people make you a bad person yourself.
Test
Allah is an imagination, u only know him in the quran,but now in real life u don't see him,does he talk?nothiiiiing..God is a friend who can talk to you million times,you make a relationship with Him not a story!
Yeah cos the hijab is SUCH a symbol of freedom.
+Saktia Dewi ok on Islam you are half a man, in Muslim countries you need 2 women to count as a full witness is a court case
***** Oh really? In the west is that?i.e. non-Muslim country?
hijab has multiple goals are all upscale you do not understand well the truth
Ahmed Moheamead XD everyone has different ideas of the truth! flat earthers they they are the truth, so does that make the earth being flat true? NO! no one can determine if anything is true or not unless it is 100% fact! which lets people decide what they want to believe, people can teach thier kids something but that doesnt make then indoctrined! when they are old and decide they believe in something else then they can! they have that choice, since you have a muslim name im assuming you wereborn in the middle east and taught islam! research about it on the internet, then decide for yourself if you want to stay with it!
My friend .... in fact, I watch hundreds Video about Islam in English
I found that there are blinding truth and falsification of the Quranic Words (and deliberately aimed at a predetermined)
I am an Arab and understand the language of the Quran very well
Let me tell you something (that the Quran is the most intelligent book + the most logical + more neutral to the right even for the Muslims in their dealings with non-Muslims)
The problem is not Qur'aan that the real problem is in jurisprudence and clerics associated with politics over the past ages
For all the talk, which the West says about Qur'an is a deliberate lie intended to tarnish the image of Quran and true Muslims
As a non-religious woman, but interested in Islam, this is very empowering to hear. I love this tedtalk, it teaches me a lot :)
Yes sister. You can check Non - Muslim stories why they accept Islam. We don't know anything what was happening with us before our birth but we know what is going to happen after our death. Death is a true sign that nothing in this world is permanent. And Islam is based in this this world is a testing place. Watch Mufti menk videos for more. 🙂Hope you will find a reason.
Get to know the stories of woman in many islamic countries and i think you will change your mind.
I love you 💕❤️
@@MrTahref i don't understand you guys. Every leader do whatever they want. And then everyone blame for them on İslam.. this problem is about leader
Dear, do your research right and listen to ex Muslims why they left Islam. You don't want to get yourself into this religion.
Aslm, I'm Laeeqah, I am a Muslim revert from South Africa which is currently the most dangerous place in the world for woman. This speech moved me and I want to change the way society and even some woman and men in Islam, view woman or what they depict to be their version of truth. U are inspiring and May Allah SWT guide and bless u abundantly and put baraqah in ur work Allahumma ameen
I sincerely, and deeply wish you the best of luck and succes in changing how the Islamic Ideology works. Traditional tribalism and conservatist views are insanely hard to change, after all.
Would love to see any, miniscule shred of progression in Islam, so I hope you succeed.
@@JEDUBBELLE Hello, brother. There's no tribalism in islam. It's the absolute antidote to tribalism. You will never see any change in actual islam not even an atomic one.
You're looking at cultures and projecting that on islam. To want a big or miniscule change to islam, you should first know what it is you want to change. So please do that, for the sake of knowing what one is talking about.
I love that your intentions are clearly honest and benevolent. I love good people, whatever ideology or religion they come from.
The woman in the lecture is just a word artist.

RESPECT SISTER
Let's grow together, encourage each other to the path of Islam. Legs aware others about the unknowns😊❤
It's really pathetic when some people don't know much about Islam and they don't understand how a young educated lady saying these beautifull things about it so that make their only choice is to say she is a liar so they could be in the safe side and to feel great about themselves all of that just because they are too lazy to search deeply about it.
dmousa97 Awww:) And there are people studied Islam, talked to people from various Muslim countries, being there understand that she projects her liberal experience on to Dark Age barbarism, without understanding how lucky she is. Like me.
It's really pathetic when Muslims defend Quran without even reading it: "Kill the unbelievers wherever you see them" (Quran 2: 191)
"Fighting is Obligatory for you, much as you dislike it." (Quran 2: 216)
"Men have authority over women because God has made one superior to the other." (Quran 4: 34)
"the terrors at which they scoffed will encompass them (unbelievers)" (Quran 11: 9)
"He (muhammad) brought down from their strongholds those who had supported them from among the people of the Book and cast terror into their hearts, so that some you slew and some you took captive." (Quran 33: 26)
"Prophet, we have made lawful for you the wives whom you have granted dowries and the SLAVE GIRLS whom God has given you as booty, your nieces, and any believing woman." (Quran 33: 50)
So it's obvious to me you have literally no idea what you're talking about whatsoever.
+Snake Was Right
Sir, apparently you have misunderstood these verses, actually if you read the Quran you would know that the first verse was talking about fighting the people who are trying to fight you (people who initiated the war)
so please read this verse and also the verse before it in order to know the truth, also if it meant what you said that means that there wouldn't be any unbeliever on earth especially during the Islamic caliphate.
the second verse is about men and women, it doesn't mean that men have authority, it means that men are ordered to provide safety and welfare for their wives and they are responsible, also the ironic thing that this verse is in chapter 4 which is called (women), so please check your information, May God guide you and me to the righteous path bro.
Snake Was Right never judge a book depending on someone's prospective. read Quraan again considering the context and the time occasion of every verse..
because Allah is the merciest and he never was injust even for one second.. be honest to youeself
Gasser Hassan It talks about killing and mutilating over and over again. It's a psychopath dream book.
The Quran in Sura 4:34 says:
Men are managers of the affairs of women because Allah has made the one superior to the other
The Quran in Sura 4:11 says:
The share of the male shall be twice that of a female
Jon Snow I thought you died?!?!?
The true meaning of sura 4:34 is that men are stronger (due to muscles and stuff..) , because god made them that way! And it is scientifically prooven. One silly exp would be: that a man's heart (which is the strongest muscle in the human body) weights more than a woman's heart!
Jack Nelson OMG, zombies D:
As for the other verse you mentioned, that is because in the early times as in the present time wemen marry men and it's the mzn that work and get money for their wives and kids so that's why their share should be twice the share of a woman, who can depend on her husband, brother or father !
Abir Abirus in reply to your first comment:
so Allah made men superior to women on a muscular level, Allah was being unequal then.
In response to the second comment in that case the Qur'an isn't truely inspired word from your god, it is at most a bit of that with alot of contextual teachings mixed in. A true book of Allah's wants (is he wanted equality) would say to pay men and women equal and make them both work equally. Also your point is invalid, that doesn't mean that men would get more, if they were paid equal then the man would use a bit on himself and pay the rest to the children and the women would use the same sized 'bit' on herself and pay the rest to the children. Even if the man worked and then payed more to the children later, this would be not reason for the initial bias.
The title should be changed, "My experience as a Muslim woman" to "What Islam really says about women" because not a single scripture is mentioned or discussed that actually draws the controversy e.g. Surah Nisa, 34 and its "beating women" part and some others.
She has lived a sheltered life, with parents that are more autonomous than their religion would want them to be.
It's sad, really.
Ok that verse was completely misinterpreted. English is a small language which doesn't have enough words to translate Arabic. beating in this sense can be seen two ways. 1. yelling at her. 2. Gently tapping her with his finger or a light plant like grass or sum k.
@@JEDUBBELLE Nope. It's not sad. Muslim women aren't sheltered. In fact, the greatest scholar of all time was Aisha (ra) who was the prophet's wife k. And Khadija (ra) was one of the first muslims. She gave him lots of money as she was a wealthy business woman. And SHE was the one who proposed to him. And if you're talking about the hijab, if you read the quran then you would know that Allah COMMANDS MEN to lower their gaze. Hijab purpose isn't solely for men k. The hijab's purpose came to be because women of low status or slaves were taken advantage of at night. Since their attire was different from free women who could not be harassed because of their status( they had power to take the offenders to trial)The quran commanded the women to cover their heads and chest with a Khimar, the same way the free women did.
That way, offenders would not be able to differentiate between them at night and would think twice before harassing them k.
So yes the hijab's first purpose was to equalize btwn women of different status and to protect them from harassment.
Of course, some humans are evil no matter what, but It was an effective way to ward the creeps off at the time.
@@imanchennit2646 Do you know that Muhammad beat Aisha?
@@nancyfancy1956 no he didn't 💀 give me a hadith

@@truthamazing5027 this can be misinterpreted
@@FenriZz Indeed. Woman are slaves to be possessed by the evil puppet of Allah / Satan
Quran 33:50
Prophet, We have made lawful for you your wives whom you have given their dowry, slave girls whom God has given to you as gifts, the daughters of your uncles and aunts, both paternal and maternal, who have migrated with you. The believing woman, who has offered herself to the Prophet and whom the Prophet may want to marry, will be specially for him, not for other believers. We knew what to make obligatory for them concerning their wives and slave girls so that you would face no hardship (because we have given distinction to you over the believers). God is All-forgiving and All-merciful
@@truthamazing5027 did u graduated from " trust me bro"🤣💀
@@FenriZz how? i see it really clear tbh
Women in Islam
- Heaven is under the feet of your mother
- Whoever raises their daughters well will go to heaven
- Mehr (dowry) is GIVEN to the wife, not to her family
- A woman’s husband cannot force her to have children
- Men are not allowed to hit their wives despite what many people think Islam says
- Seeking knowledge is mandatory to everyone including women
- A man has to spend the money he makes on his family, but the money a woman makes belongs to her, and she doesn’t have to spend it on anyone but herself, and if she spends it on her family, she gets rewarded
- Men are commanded to lower their gaze (look away) whenever they see a woman who is not a family member or wife
- The point of Muslim women wearing the hijab is so that others would judge her based on personality rather than appearance
- On his death bed, Prophet Muhammad (s) said, “Take care of the women” several times throughout his life
- The prophet used to help his wives with the housework
- Khadija (r) proposed to Prophet Muhammad (s), not the other way around
- Aisha (r) was one of the most important Islamic scholars
- Sumayyah bint Khabbat was the first martyr in Islam
- Fatima al-Fihri was the founder of the first university
So, to the many people in the comments, stop being racist and ignorant and do your research.
please reply i feel abit guiltyyyyy so am writing this msg . bcs i am veryyyy confused...actually thing is when i was in school girls were so jealous of me..and were also in college ..but were extremely when i was in university. then at one time i couldn't controlled my anger for them...so ALLAH gave me a power thT whomever i want to damaged whether in marriage life or whatsoever thn Allah destroy their married life... and i put wish in my heart tht all girls who come in my age or near my age around whole worldddd married lives to be destroyed . .and i didnt curse them directly i just put wished in my heart and i see lots of marriages are destroying. ..idk its bcs of me or its coincidence..but after doing it for two yrs then i stopped wishing such in my heart. ......i already told i didnt curse but just putting bad wish...but i realise soon and i stopped even wishing in my heart.. but am very afraid that were those marriages destruction really bcs of me....or it was coincidence. ..and it was bcz of me willl those girls curse will afffect me or not plzz anyone reply
جزاك الله خيرا يا ياسمين
@@redlilly2584 read more about "hasad" which means wishing bad for people, and "ghibtah" in which you wish to have something as someone else has. Hasad is haram and is one of heart diseases, while ghiptah is halal. To solve this problem you should believe more in God and seek forgiveness. Again, please read more about this because I'm not a specialist. You may visit islamweb where you can ask any question about islam.

What a joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about marrying young girls like ur prophet did with aicha? his 6 years old bride ? What about the Chapter 4, Verse 34 that clearly states that a rebellious woman should first be admonished, then abandoned in bed and BEATEN.
What about inheritance rules that favor men? I'm not even going to mention the " hadiths ", they are too disgusting 🤮.
I can't be more proud of being a Libyan young lady as I'm watching this short lecture , looking forward to meet such an inspiration powerful women like you one day
You're lebeh right
JESUS HEALS THE WOMEN SUFFERING FROM MENSTRUATION DISORDER FOR 12 YEARS.
👇
Matthew 9:20-22
Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
MUHAMMAD CALL MENSTRUATION AS DEFICIENCY IN A WOMEN'S RELIGIOUS PRACTICES.
👇
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2613
The testimony of two women among you is like the testimony of a man, and the deficiency in your religion is menstruation, because one of you will go three or four days without performing Salat.
Amiin
As a reverted Muslim with now 3 daughters. I will give my all for them to be heard, be powerful, be patient and smart. As I would before I saw this of course.... but this made me feel bad as a muslim man, not fighting this cause with you yet. I need to really dive into the Qur'an and help our sisters use their voice for change♥️
If you genuinely care about women's rights and equality for women, then the last place you should be diving into is the Quran.
lol.
What a great video. Thanks for this!
Just my opinion and no hate please
So here's the difference between a man and a woman
If you a woman and you wear hijab, but accidentally your hair is showed a little, and here you go, you will have the whole entire community attacking you mainly men as always
And they will "advice" how to wear it properly while themselves sin a lot even bigger than this
And if you see for a man, actually according to the dress code a man should cover his knees
But you will see men wearing shorts that doesn't cover their knees, but you will notice that they won't get attacked or something
But if someone notice he will obviously tell him that he shouldn't wear this but they will never be harsh over the man compare to the woman
So, it's sad but true.
It's true that they will be harsh over the woman who accidentally her hair is showed very little compare to the man, they will never be that harsh for showing up his knees
Thank you so much for reading, have a good day !
I’m a Muslim woman who doesn’t wear the hijab, but I dress modestly and I mentally am not ready rn just because I’ve acc experienced Islamaphobia and it mentally just put me down. I know i will be ready one day inshallah and I’ll start wearing it. Those men always attack me for not wearing one but they also end up drinking/smoking and doing other bad stuff, when those sins are way worse.

Hello Alaa, Your speech was wonderful and very emotional because I grew up in a Patriarchal family of 7 Italian family where sometimes women are not given a voice. You have brought a voice that I thought I never had and it releases me from the bondage I have always felt while I was growing up. Thank you for your enlightening speech.
I look forward to listening to listening to your freedom speech.
Enjoy this new day.

@Aviisausa It also means to tap or to stroke. He thought he did something lol
As i watched this a question came to mind. In how many Muslim majority countries could she delivery this same speech publicly and freely?
I'm actually curious...
In all democratic ones.
She can very easily. I'm a women in Saudi and we always have these talks in Mosques and in our university. You do realize that all she is preaching about powerful women in Islam and their contributions to the religion are on our bookshelves right? It isn't something new, we all can read Arabic and find out easily about how Islam holds women in a high status. The minority cases of men abusing that is what you see on TV and it happens in every single country around the world. -- peace
0.
In minority
I'm Indonesian, and my country, Indonesia, a 87% muslim majority and biggest country with Muslim population (230ish millions Muslim) and we are not even an Islamic country ( we are republic system with democration). 1 of our 8 past presidents is women, Muslim, and not even wearing hijab. Women and men is pretty much has the same rights to speak and do anything.
What she does is, has and will always be done by religions and all group ideologies for that matter;
*1) generalize*, speak from authority and in terms of facts (like
the title of the video) on topics that are quite obviously matters of opinions and interpretations...
Also don't even mention clear longstanding disagreements and debates,
just tell your view and of those who agree.
*2) but only do that when it suits your argument;* so it's "Islam/Christianity/Feminism" when
you're talking about something positive and accepted by wider society and it's "in the name of Islam/Christianity/Feminism"
or "some people" or "many who misinterpret/don't understand their own belief"
(blind assertions with no proof why your interpretation is apparently the correct one and not a distortion itself)
when it's something negative that clashes with society.
This to white-wash your ideology and many of its supporters (not merely a minority of extremists)
and chalk it all up to "misunderstandings/abuse"
*3) disregard both traditional as well as widespread other interpretations*
(already done implicitly using method 1 and 2) with non sequiturs and other fallacies
like giving examples of yourself or other people who believe a nicer interpretation,
without any reason why that's a more 'true' interpretation than so many others have,
including many leaders and scholars in your own movement/ideology with
much more knowledge on the topics.
*4) mislabel secularism, social progress and liberalism (moving on from and re-interpreting problematic texts)*
as something that was the 'true' and correct interpretation all along,
usually again with no proof.
*5)* if you do make at least an attempt (although disingenuously) at proving why it's not
changing problematic beliefs but really 'understanding' what was meant all along, you do it by
*ignoring clear and specific texts and teachings* and cherry-pick some ambiguous/less specific nicer parts that
either don't even disprove whatever problematic teaching you were trying to disprove or - at best - would
prove a contradiction, which you don't believe in so it's more likely that it wasn't actually talking about the same thing after-all..
..but who cares, the audience who buys into it wants to believe there's nothing wrong with these ideologies,
only with individual people, and isn't interested
in critical thinking and honestly looking at the root of problems to begin with.
*6) misrepresent critics.*
One typically dishonest and fallacious one is saying the people
who don't blindly buy into the idea that your white-washed interpretation is the 'true' one
(and everybody else is just 'confused') is by likening those critics to the people who believe
in the problematic version, who you label ignorant, extremists and literalists or 'confused' while failing
to prove your own view was anything more than just a white-washed re-interpretation
(and often while you actually embrace them as true believers all the time, outside these disingenuous
apologist PR talks).
Somehow in order to move on, we shouldn't reform problematic ideologies,
no, you have to believe - without proof, without question - that there was never
anything wrong with the ideology in question to begin with and the root of the problem
isn't (in part or mostly) the ideology and its texts but simply 'confused/misinformed' people,
or else you're just like those who hold those problematic views or a bigot/racist..somehow
Robert LC - Digital Artist well-said.
Robert LC - Digital Artist That is pretty much how ideologies and ways of life that are thousands of years old still somehow manage to get by even in this day and age. It all boils down to the presence of God really - if the religion wasn't supposed to come from God and hence infallible there would be no problem just reforming it like it happens with any other political/philosophical belief.
But all in all, I think it's better this way. At least people kind of rationalize and de facto separate their personal need to believe in a higher spiritual truth from their common sense that tells them how they should live. Is it a reasoning full of No-True-Scotsmen (well... Muslims, in this case)? Absolutely, but the fallacy is introduced basically to justify a need for a conclusion that is somewhat irrational in itself - namely, the existence of God. A need that some people feel (though I personally don't). So it's still better this way, at least bend the ideology to serve the needs of mankind than the other way around, enslaving mankind to the literally interpreted words of a parchment written by some Middle Ages or Bronze Age guy.
Robert LC - Digital Artist Can I ask if you believe in any ideology?

I have been questioning my faith in Islam because I have been raised to believe that culture and religion go hand in hand. Over time, I believe that men have taken advantage of the laws of the religion and have taken women's right of voice. After watching this video, I have fallen even more in love with the religion because it proves that I am not the only one that thinks like this and believe that there should be a change in our foundation.
If culture and religion is the same then Allah is the God of arabs and not humanity, but as we know, he is the God of humanity, so culture is irrelevant in the eyes of Allah.
I am now 11 minutes into the video and have still not heard a single thing about what islam says about women
It is an indirect message. She is saying that because males are the only leaders in religious groups, that Islamic communities are subject to such problems (e.g. domestic violence). She's trying to prove that females and religion are not mutually exclusive.
@@Daya-xq1qo
She and those of her persuasion have an uphill battle on their hands . The reactionary and jihadist elements of Islam are strong with the force, so to speak. I notice such elements maintaining a strong presence even on TH-cam.
And...I hope to heaven I'm wrong...but I see Western progressives who use the "islamophobia" label like a mallet as more interested in affirming the jihadists than they are the moderates.

+Aisha Hirani You are incredibly ignorant. First of all evolution is a theory in the scientific sense:
"A scientific theory is a *well-substantiated* explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation."
In other words, saying, saying evolution (not Darwin) is just a theory is like saying it is just the most well confirmed explanation there is. Evolution IS a fact, it's not a matter of belief, it's true whether you believe it or not. It is CLOSER to the truth than a "historical fact". "Historical facts" are actually things we know from what is written in books years ago, in other words those are eye witnesses account. Eye witnesses is one of the *lowest* form of evidence, while evolution has the *highest* forms of evidence backing it up. This book is just a book, and there are countless other books countaining more truths and knowledge than it. Yet it claims to hold the perfect true divine word, it's a disgusting pretentious book.
2CSST2 I just read your comment and thought I'd mention something.
The reason most Muslims reject the Darwinistic theory of Evolution is because it states (or is commonly thought to state) that humans evolved from apes, or another species entirely.
However, despite that most Muslim scholars reject this idea, they do agree that the first human is different in a variety of ways than the human today and has evolved through time.
We (many of the educated ones of us anyway) agree that man has evolved greatly, yet just reject the fact that we came from another species. Humans evolved in the structure of their skeletons, their brain capacity, their environmental tolerance, their tolerance of certain diets and conditions, their sizes even.
That's all I wanted to say. We believe in the concept of evolution, just not the idea that we evolved from another species entirely.

@@abdalrahman4969 not really, she just cited that there are muslim women who are strong and leaders and so on. This does *not* imply anything about their religion. The point being just because theses minority of women exist does not mean the cause is islam. Khadija for exemple had the money thats all, another women for exemple had strong sense of equality sure, or strong personality. This however doesnt imply it's islam's doing. And to be faire she only cherry picked hadith and verses.
Anyways i think this is a typical exemple of someone wanting something to be true (while being influenced with their *personal* experience *) rather the thing itself being true.
Think of it as saying that just because hiitler and stalin had mustaches then they evil because of the mustaches, and so just because theses women bappen to be muslim then its because of islam. It is simply an unjust and false corolation.
Hope you give this some thoughts :)

@Die_Hard_Diesel says the one who only knows what their media tells
How true. Men interpret the scriptures to benefit them. Women are given so many rights in Islam but when you are not at the table, men subjugate women based on cultural practices. I am lucky to be born a Muslim in Malaysia where we were treated equally so it was a shock to face gender discrimination in Manchester from the conservative muslim society when I went to uni. The teachings of islam are beautiful, society creates discrimination based on cultural practices.

Hello

I'm proud of you so much 🇱🇾💜
She didn't deal with the Hadith or Quran so essentially she didn't really say what Islam teaches about women.
Do you find the Quranic verses and hadiths that says "men are in charge of their women" offensive and unrighteous? Do you believe that Muslim women get raped and stoned to death? Do you believe that Allah told us to mutilate our new borns genitalia? If not, then what is your concern basically?
+Mohammad Alqarawi I just got my Quran lol I hope all that ish isn't true or I'll have to switch religions again *facepalm4life*
+Mohammad Alqarawi Theres alot more. For example, a womans testimony in court is equal to half of a mans testimony. Qur'an (4:11) Qur'an (2:282) . And Men are a degree above women. Qur'an (2:228). Men can marry up to 4 wives, women only 1 husband.Qur'an (4:3). If we're gonna talk about what the hadiths are saying it's even much worse, but not all muslims are believing in all hadiths, so i spare that.
it also says Allah made one human stronger then the other so that we protect women & have nothing but treating you women amazing that the very land they walk on is heavenly (whither it be wife or not) by being the best men and protectors of all women
+Carmen Villegas she talked about islam and women in a cultural and social way , and there's no need to use hadith or quran verses to prove something obvious .
"The best of you are those who are the best and kindest to the women." - Sunan al-Tirmidhī 1162
"It is true that you have rights over women, but the women also have rights over you." - Prophet Muhammad (s.a.a.w.s.) in his last sermon
Those saying she can't give this talk in other Muslim countries are just confirming her point exactly.
Just to make it clear for the easily confused, this is her point: These so-called Muslim countries have perverted the message of Islam so much because only men get to interpret the scripture. And that has nothing to do with scripture (i.e., the main source of the religion). BECAUSE WHEN YOU EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURE ITSELF, IT UPHOLDS THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
So yeah, I agree that some "Muslim" countries would frown upon this discussion. But THAT IS EXACTLY HER POINT. They frown upon women's rights because they are interpreting Islam wrongly.
Get it now? Gahd, the dearth of logic in these trolls is killing me...
This is no true Scotsman fallacy..
How did you conclude that you've got the true interpretation ?
Zeus you don’t really need much to interpret, when the prophet(pbuh) said the quote himself, and if that is unreliable then the person has also provided a quranic verse. These direct statements easily convey the message of Islam for women. What certain people do in certain countries is not the fault of Islam, but rather, them as people.
The problem is there were assumptions accepted as truth in any religion. There isn’t a concrete proof that a god exists. Religion, IMO, is a tool humanity (and some nonhuman animals) use.
These days, IMO, its negative contributions have surpassed its usefulness. Time to replace religion with another tool.
The Quran in Sura 4:34 says:
Men are managers of the affairs of women because Allah has made the one superior to the other.
Quran 4:34 ' Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand. " I just need to quote the Quran to show how it is.
Sister, May Allah bless you. Wonderful!
Women don't realise how much respect they have in Islam. A mother's status according to Islam is so unparalleled that Allah didn't compare his love for humans to anyone else's other than a mother's love.
You’re either joking or you never witness a Woman being treated in an Islamic country where Sharia exists.
As if all women are mothers

No all the verses of "cutting heads" are Self-Defence in case if they start it againts us.

(And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.)
BUT the previous verse say
( Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.)
U see? You need to read it all ..
Also our prophet momhamed say
" Whoever killed “Muaahadan” (a term used in Islamic state to refer to non-Muslim citizens), will not smell Paradis)
..
those terrorists are a few people of 2 billion muslim
And here what our prophet say about them
.. the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: Beware! The extremists perished, saying it three times.

Probably the best saying in this video. People nowadays using Quran not as a guidance to be better, no. They're making the holy Quran to be a justification against their thinking of wrong doings. No, Quran never says it's right to harm people in the name of jihad, beating one own wife, and marrying without thinking of its consequences.
In many parts of the book, the killing of non believers is justified and praised. The place of women as obediant wife is also clear.

Really Judy? Soo im blinded by what former muslims have to say about the treatment of women in their native theocratic nations?? Wow, i never thought of it that way. Let me offer an alternative opinion, You are the one who is ignorant.
@@dilligaf8953 Don't claim it, prove it. Send her to Iran and have her preform the same speech. You afraid of what would happen if you did?
Franz Meier if i had the chance to go there and speak about this, i would. Im not afraid of death. If god wants to take my soul at this time, i will die. If i was in Iran, australia, canada, saudi... Look im totally against forcing women to wear a hijab in the streets. And in my relegion forcing women to wear or do something she doesn’t want to is forbidden. I personally, and a lot of muslim women, feel that men and women are equal. If you think it’s not, then don’t worry about it. TRUE muslims that follow the religion will always feel safe and happy. Peace

@@nirajsingh8403 I know. It's bad
@@nirajsingh8403 Thats what Western interference will do to them. And of course having politicians and leaders that run on manipulation, corruption and the exploitation of people has an influence. They don't govern in accordance to Islam.
Muslim women are free in Western countries, but not in Muslim countries. In western countries they themselves decide to wear hijab or not, they themselves decide to respect their husband or not, they decide to be a housewife or a working mother, who to marry… etc. But in Islamic countries their family, the culture, the society, the system decides all those things. IT’S NOT FREEDOM!!!
Agree with this
This is not true at all.... You have not met Muslim women in Morocco, Lebanon, or even Saudi Arabia.. They have complete freedom.
I made many reports about it when I was there.
You are totally wrong . bro clear your mind
That’s not true In Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon, Turkey, Palestine etc women are free to wear hijab or not wear it: Women vote women hold positions of power in government etc your myopic lense of Muslim countries is mostly informed by propaganda of countries that have been purposely destabilized and bombed within an inch of existence and are now toxic cultures that have resulted to extreme forms of misogyny instead of coping with trauma and rebuilding.
No religion , i love my wife . No matter what .
And good on you for that.

The bible is just as disgusting and f&cked up as the Quran but in the civilized world people figured out what dangerous bullshit it is and gave up that garbage years ago .we figured out that living your life to a collection of primitive,hateful,misogynistic,xenophobic superstition has no place in the 20th century let alone the 21sr

Muslim channels will tell you "What Islam really says about women" lol! Basically, women are little more than mere commodities.
P.S. An ex-Muslim here.
I’m glad you found your way out of Islam
O Prophet, Who's most worthy of our kindness and compassion? "Your Mother," and then? "Your Mother," and then? "Your Mother." And then? "Then the father" - - - A small conversation between Prophet Muhammad and a follower.
Not all mothers are good parents, Muhammad had an extremely small-minded way to think. The only parents that deserve kindness and compassion are good parents.

Very good speech. I agree with every word she said. We need more educated and powerful women like that. The best way to regain women's rights is to follow the correct teachings of Islam and I'm not even exaggerating.
+Faizah AlKatheri Let's see, men can beat their wivies (Quran: 4:34), women's testimony is 1/2 of men (Quran 2:282), daughter get 1/2 of a son (Quran 4:11), marital rape is okay (Quran 2:223). Defend that.
+winter32842 I looked at the Quran and it says nothing about that stuff.
brad armpitt Which one. Every single verse reference is right.
+winter32842 .. but your interpretations were false.
Faizah AlKatheri Which one are you exactly referring to? The verse are pretty clear to me. By the way, most of the Islamic scholars agree with my interpretations. Do you know more than your Islamic scholars?
This is wonderful.
“ But I can't overlook the damage taking place in the name of my religion ”💔
This is a very good speech, actually.
aoflex Because everybody acts according to his holy book. This is why christians don't eat pork, ... oh wait, they do.
aoflex I don't think this is her intention. Every religions can been seen from many different angels and she shows, that it is possible to choose more womenfreindly aspects. Saying things like "This is what religion XY is really about." would be nonsensical. Reality is not that simple.
Schönling G. Wunderbar Um actually...
Giby86 Correct. It's completely understandable that many come at this from an atheist or anti-(IS)islam point of view. But her point that islam would be better if more women were "at the table" is - I think - very true.
Giby86 I agree, she's a great speaker and projects a lot of confidence. Too bad her talents are wasted on defending Islam.
Very powerful speech sister, may Allah grant you the best rewards in both worlds.
She's a woman, so she can't go to heaven.
I’m so proud of this woman ! This issue bothers me so much. Seeing how people use religion in their favor upsets me. Seeing how drastically culture differs form religion.
I also was introduced to Islam not from the cultural lenses, which is amazing. Instead, my dad taught us that you have to be good Muslim regardless your gender. A simple example: seeking knowledge is fard, and my dad has always encouraged me and my brother to study and develop. He explained that in the eyes of Allah men and women are equal. This is how it should be approached.
Best speech ❣️
Alhamdulillah! Woman are field to be ploughed by men! Muhammad is genius to reduce women to dirt to be stepped on!
Quran 2:223
Muhammad Sarwar: Your wives are as fields for you. You may enter your fields from any place you want. Reserve something good for your souls (for the life hereafter). Have fear of God and know that you are going to meet Him. (Muhammad) give the glad news to the believers.
this speech is so incredible. she's so amazing!!
Why Mohammad Married a 6 year old? And sx in 9 yr? Why he had 11 wives? Why he had a sx slave named Maria
The title did not have much to do with the talk though
Yeah she should have said : culture doesn’t have anything to do with religion.
i dont understand how ppl thinks that its alllll the damn time women are innocent. ..even being a girl...i think i am hating women because i was bullied by jealous , envious, toxic bitches at university. i know not all were bad... but majority were so damn jealous of me... whenever i see a women suffer anything. ..i dont have sympathy for her because what happened to me by girls makes me hate women so much. stop trying to defend women everywhere. . some are really as cruel as men or mothrr in law or whatever. i am very much done with girls... now i am ignoring them avoiding them..now those bitches themselves come towards me because they are affected by my ignoring them. but ill continue to ignore them to make them.. its quite sad but because of my experience i dont feel empathy for girls. please all of u stop acting like its women who are best everytime, everywhere. . some are very professional jealous bitches also..
red lilly hey, I understand your point. I’m someone who have suffered as well from a lot of girls bullying me younger however I never said that all girls where the same. You are mad and have the right to be. But as woman your rule it’s to show an example. There even evil men on this world. Sometimes they are more concentrated in one place lol. But the point of this video is more defined, she is talking about a specific people. I hesr you when you said that I just don’t think you should have comment on this comment and even this video lol. But you are definetly free to. Your message is just you expressing your feelings and looking for help.

Islam treats women very well. In Islam, a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband.

Spanish Central America is the deadliest place in the world for women being killed due to domestic violence as well as drug gang related violence.
It has become a cliche that Eastern Europeans regularly beat their women in Vodka related violence; although alcohol abuse is usually a big reason for divorce.

In fact Islam uplifts women. English women did not have full property rights until the Married Women’s Property Acts of 1870 and 1882, yet under Islamic law, Muslim women have been guaranteed inheritance and property rights since the seventh century.
