WEBVTT 00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.990 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. 00:00:08.990 --> 00:00:12.990 Contemporary issues threatening the Muslim family. 00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:19.410 Among the grave issues threatening the Muslim family and the Muslim home: 00:00:19.410 --> 00:00:23.410 First, the issue of "women's liberation." 00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:29.410 This is a cause championed by atheists, secularists, hypocrites, and their ilk. 00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:37.409 They claim to desire freedom for women and to deliver them from the injustice and enslavement they supposedly endure. 00:00:37.409 --> 00:00:43.409 In reality, their call is for women to abandon the hijab and to intermingle with men. 00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:46.409 They have labeled this "women's liberation." 00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:53.409 They forget that Allah, the Almighty, is the One who guaranteed women their rights and honored them. 00:00:53.409 --> 00:00:56.409 This is well-established in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. 00:00:56.409 --> 00:01:01.409 What they are calling for is, in truth, the destruction of the family. 00:01:01.409 --> 00:01:08.569 Second, and even more severe than the aforementioned, is what is currently known as the "independent woman." 00:01:08.569 --> 00:01:12.569 This is a movement adopted by feminist organizations. 00:01:12.569 --> 00:01:15.569 Known as the feminist movement. 00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:18.569 It goes beyond the scope of "women's liberation." 00:01:18.569 --> 00:01:22.569 By propagating the concept that a woman has no need for a man. 00:01:22.569 --> 00:01:26.569 And that she should live independently in her own private home. 00:01:26.569 --> 00:01:32.569 They see no objection to her bringing whomever she wishes into it as lovers or companions. 00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:35.569 She is to be the one who provides for herself. 00:01:35.569 --> 00:01:41.569 And she is the one who has, by their claim, the full right and freedom to live however she pleases. 00:01:41.569 --> 00:01:47.569 Currently, a counter-feminist movement has emerged in America. 00:01:47.569 --> 00:01:53.569 It calls for women to return to their primary role in the home and the raising of children. 00:01:53.569 --> 00:01:58.569 It has an influence on politics today, especially in America. 00:01:58.569 --> 00:02:02.819 Third, and more dangerous than all of the above: 00:02:02.819 --> 00:02:07.819 The current widespread support for homosexual men and women. 00:02:07.819 --> 00:02:11.819 They permit a woman to suffice with a woman like herself. 00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:14.819 And a man with a man like himself. 00:02:14.819 --> 00:02:16.819 This is the act of the people of Lot. 00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:19.819 That alone is sufficient as a crime and an obscenity. 00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:23.819 They call for them to live together in one home. 00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:27.819 And they claim that this constitutes a family. 00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:33.819 They deceptively and alluringly label this group "homosexuals." 00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:36.819 In the West, they have enacted laws and systems. 00:02:36.819 --> 00:02:41.819 That permit the marriage of a man to a man and a woman to a woman. 00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:46.819 Indeed, the matter has now reached the point of criminalizing those who object to it. 00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:49.819 And they have threatened to impose penalties upon them. 00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:55.819 By Allah, this is the very essence of declaring the forbidden lawful and legislating besides Allah. 00:02:55.819 --> 00:02:58.819 Let the Muslims hold fast to their Shari'ah. 00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:01.819 Let them reject this with strength. 00:03:01.819 --> 00:03:07.819 And let them expect the wrath of Allah, His curse, and His destruction upon everyone who permits this. 00:03:07.819 --> 00:03:14.819 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21)
