You are among the truthful 100 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,029 And Pharaoh's people said to Moses 101 00:06:38,029 --> 00:06:47,149 They said, “You have come to us to distract us from what we found our fathers in.” 102 00:06:47,149 --> 00:06:56,269 And you will have pride in the land, and we will not believe you 103 00:06:56,269 --> 00:06:59,920 And God Almighty said about the people of Saleh 104 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:07,759 They said, “O Saleh, you were among us as a hope before this.” 105 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:14,959 Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshiped? 106 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:25,569 We are in doubt about what Mary is calling us to do 107 00:07:25,569 --> 00:07:28,399 He said about the people of Shuaib 108 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:37,759 They said, “O Shuaib, your

wise 111 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,279 And so are the rest of the prophets and those who follow their path and follow their path 112 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,360 If he calls to God Almighty and follows His law 113 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,610 Some community members confronted him with such words 114 00:08:06,610 --> 00:08:10,689 There is a calling in many societies today 115 00:08:10,689 --> 00:08:13,009 It is sponsored by the public in particular 116 00:08:13,009 --> 00:08:17,569 It is reviving ancient customs and traditions in society 117 00:08:17,569 --> 00:08:19,730 They call it heritage 118 00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:26,560 They are proud of them as the society's ancient customs and ancient traditions 119 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:34,480 Even if these customs and traditions trace their origins back to the pre-Islamic Arab era 120 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,740 Or return to a deviant religion or a misguided sect 121 00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:44,779 This is a form of obstruction from the path of God, intentionally or unintentionally 122 00:08:44,779 --> 00:08:49,019 The child grows up with such pre-Islamic customs 123 00:08:49,019 --> 00:08:51,580 And the big one grows old at her 124 00:08:51,580 --> 00:08:55,679 Until it settles in people's minds that it is right 125 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,840 Violating or objecting to it is invalid 126 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:05,460 He fights everyone who denies it and demonstrates God’s ruling on it 127 00:09:05,460 --> 00:09:07,860 And in the story of the Queen of Sheba 128 00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:12,899 A second benefit relates to her intelligence and acumen 129 00:09:12,899 --> 00:09:18,659 We have come across evidence of the intensity of this woman's intelligence and acumen 130 00:09:18,659 --> 00:09:20,019 However 131 00:09:20,019 --> 00:09:23,940 The hoopoe deplores that this smart woman takes over 132 00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:26,899 The position of ruler over men 133 00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:32,179 The Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, agrees with him in his denunciation 134 00:09:32,179 --> 00:09:36,259 May God Almighty grant them permission to do so 135 00:09:36,259 --> 00:09:40,500 And He makes it a Qur’an that will be recited until the Day of Resurrection 136 00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,700 So that people know that it is forbidden for a woman to take office 137 00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:46,500 Higher positions over men 138 00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:50,100 It is not due to a lack of intelligence or acumen 139 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:56,419 The prohibition is for many other things related to the nature of women’s creation 140 00:09:56,419 --> 00:10:00,559 And her nature is what God created for her 141 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,679 And a final benefit related to the intelligence of this queen 142 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,559 It is that the innate lack of intelligence in women does not mean stupidity 143 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:16,240 God Almighty revealed to His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 144 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,480 To inform us of a truth related to the creation of women 145 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,600 It is known only by revelation from God 146 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Only the Creator, Almighty, knows it 147 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,399 So we reported it to our truthful and trustworthy Prophet on the day of Eid 148 00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,440 He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 149 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,799 I have not seen anyone lacking in reason and religion 150 00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:43,519 Go to the heart of the determined man among you 151 00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,899 Narrated by Al-Bukhari 152 00:10:45,899 --> 00:10:52,620 Women's innate lack of intelligence is a fact that only stubborn or arrogant people can deny 153 00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:56,779 Or rejecting the words of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 154 00:10:56,779 --> 00:10:59,539 Or a distortion of its meaning 155 00:10:59,539 --> 00:11:04,980 This deficiency is well recognized by a normal woman herself 156 00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:09,220 She does not express her opinion independently without consulting the man 157 00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:14,419 Knowing that her emotions overpower her judgment and thinking 158 00:11:14,419 --> 00:11:19,970 Unlike the man who rules with his mind before his emotions 159 00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:24,049 What decreased her intellect increased her emotion 160 00:11:24,049 --> 00:11:28,700 To match the job for which he was created 161 00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:31,980 A woman's lack of intelligence does not mean stupidity 162 00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:35,740 A woman's lack of intelligence is not changed by intelligence 163 00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:41,740 It is inherently present in women, even if times change 164 00:11:41,740 --> 00:11:45,659 The Prophet of God, Solomon, explained to the Queen of Sheba 165 00:11:45,659 --> 00:11:50,299 Some of what God has given him of kingdom, power, and knowledge 166 00:11:50,299 --> 00:11:55,220 But the story did not end with this event 167 00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:58,980 We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing 168 00:11:58,980 --> 00:12:02,019 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 169 00:12:03,659 --> 00:12:09,980 The story of the Queen of Sheba with the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
