The story of women's suffering in the time of Moses, peace be upon him
0:06
The suffering of women working outside the home
0:14
When Musa saw the sight of the two girls, he avoided drinking water with the people
0:22
He turned to them, wondering and astonished at what they had done
0:27
He said what's wrong with you?
0:30
Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said
0:33
Moses said to the two women
0:35
What is the matter with you and what is your matter, defending what you have done to the people?
0:40
Do you not water it with people's livestock?
0:44
Al-Taher Ibn Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said
0:47
When Moses saw the two women preventing their cattle from drinking
0:52
He asked them what's wrong with you
0:55
It is a question about their story and their affairs
0:58
When the water came
1:00
He did not dare to water their sheep
1:04
The answer was great
1:07
Which is a lesson for every girl today who wants to work outside the home
1:13
She said: We will not water until the pastures are released
1:17
Our father is a great sheikh
1:20
Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
1:23
That is, we do not get watering until after they have finished
1:28
Al-Alusi, may God Almighty have mercy on him, said
1:31
As if they said
1:33
Two weak women are hidden
1:37
We cannot argue with men or jockey with them
1:41
We don't have a man to do that
1:44
Our father is an old sheikh
1:47
Old age has weakened him
1:49
We must delay watering until people die or run out of water
1:56
So I explained the reason for staying away from watering
2:00
Not wanting to crowd in and mingle with men
2:05
Then she followed that up by explaining the excuse that led them to work outside the home
2:11
She said, “Our father is an old man.”
2:16
Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
2:18
That is, this is the situation that gives us refuge in what you see
2:23
Al-Taher Ibn Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said
2:26
They said, “Our father is a great sheikh.”
2:30
As an apology for coming to watering with the men
2:34
Because they did not find a man to water for them
2:38
Because the only man they have is their father
2:42
He is a great sheikh
2:44
It cannot reach water because it is too weak to compete with
2:48
Al-Shaarawi, may God have mercy on him, said
2:51
So we have three provisions in this story
2:55
We do not water until the pasture comes out
2:58
She gave a ruling
3:00
Our father is a great sheikh
3:03
She gave a ruling
3:05
So he gave them water
3:07
She gave a third ruling
3:09
These three rulings
3:12
It regulates the issue of women's work for the Muslim community
3:16
What should we do when women are forced to work?
3:20
It is the first ruling
3:22
We know that watering livestock is the work of men
3:26
From the second ruling
3:28
We know that women do not go out to work unless necessary
3:33
It does not do the job of men
3:35
Unless the man is unable to perform this task
3:39
Our father is a great sheikh
3:42
As for the third ruling
3:44
He knows the Muslim community or even the humanitarian community
3:48
If he sees the woman has gone out to work
3:51
She must not have a man to do this job
3:55
He must help her and facilitate her mission
4:00
I remember when I traveled to Saudi Arabia
4:04
In the year one thousand nine hundred and fifty
4:07
I rode with a colleague in his car
4:10
On the way, I saw him get out of his car
4:14
And he went to one of the houses
4:16
In front of him was a wooden table
4:19
Covered with a piece of cloth
4:22
So he took her and put her in the car
4:25
Then we walked
4:27
So I asked him what he was doing
4:29
And he said
4:30
It is our custom if you see such a table at the door of the house
4:35
It means that the owner of the house is not present
4:39
And the housewife had prepared the dough
4:43
And you want someone to bake it
4:45
If one of us passed by, he took it and baked it
4:49
Then he put the table back in place
4:52
And in the Almighty’s saying
4:55
We do not water until the pastures are released
4:58
An indication that if a woman has to go out to work
5:03
She had this necessity
5:06
She has to take the necessity as much as she can
5:09
Do not mix with men
5:12
And to isolate herself from crowding and contact with them
5:16
This does not mean that necessity forced women to do men's work
5:21
She became like them
5:24
She allows herself to mingle with them
5:27
The suffering that women faced in the city
5:32
When she goes out to work outside the home
5:35
It consists of two things
5:38
The first
5:39
The suffering of mingling with men
5:42
The second
5:43
Suffering from the nature of the work you went out to do
5:47
As for the first suffering
5:49
It is mingling with men
5:52
The texts of the Qur’an and Sunnah have indicated
5:55
On the prohibition of women mixing with men in business
5:59
It is this evidence
6:01
The story of these two girls
6:03
They are in need of watering
6:06
However, they did not approach the men
6:10
Go away clearly
6:12
Until this caught the attention of God’s Prophet Moses, peace and blessings be upon him
6:18
Among them is the Almighty’s saying
6:21
And live in your homes
6:23
And do not display yourselves like the display of pre-Islamic times
6:27
So God Almighty commanded the decision-making in homes
6:30
Because of the protection of women
6:33
Keeping it away from corrupt means
6:36
And because the woman who does not stay in her home
6:40
Prone to mixing with men
6:42
Because of her frequent going out
6:45
So God chose for her to stay at home
6:48
To reduce her contact with men
6:51
Therefore, the order was followed by decision-making in homes
6:54
By forbidding vanity
6:56
Because leaving the house a lot
6:59
Women's expectations of finery
7:02
Among them is the Almighty’s saying
7:04
O Prophet
7:09
Tell your husbands and daughters
7:12
And the women of believers
7:15
He draws down their cloaks upon them
7:21
That's the least they should know
7:26
So they won't hurt
7:29
God is Forgiving and Merciful
7:33
So God Almighty commanded the women of the believers
7:36
By lowering the jilbab over them
7:39
If we want to go out
7:41
The purpose of this is clear
7:43
He hid them from men
7:46
If we have blocked
7:48
From the eyes of men in clothing
7:50
How can they mix with men?
7:53
In general community activities
7:55
Which is not without its revelations
7:58
Men look at women
8:01
And falling into temptation with them
8:04
Among them is His saying, Glory be to Him
8:08
Tell the believers to lower their gazes
8:12
And protect their private parts
8:15
It's smarter for them
8:18
God is aware of what they do
8:24
And tell the believing women to be angry
8:28
From their sight
8:30
And they protect their private parts
8:33
They do not show off their adornment
8:36
Except what appears
8:39
So God commanded the believing women
8:41
What he commanded the believers to do
8:43
From lowering one's gaze and guarding one's chastity
8:45
And he started it regardless
8:48
Because it is the leading means
8:50
To preserve relief
8:52
He who lowers his gaze
8:54
He was better off guarding his chastity
8:56
And whoever releases his sight
8:58
Whoever agrees to commit immorality
9:01
No rational person doubts that the fields are mixed
9:05
No one is safe in it
9:07
From looking at the other party
9:09
It is the most important field
9:11
In which adultery occurs
9:14
This verse indicates its meaning
9:17
On the prohibition of mixing
9:20
Among them is the Almighty’s saying
9:22
And if you ask them for anything
9:25
So ask them from behind a veil
9:29
That is purer for your hearts and their hearts
9:33
Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
9:36
That is, this is what I commanded you to do
9:38
I legitimized it for you from the veil
9:40
Purer and better
9:43
He understands from that
9:45
Mixing is not purer for the hearts of men and women
9:49
Rather, it corrupted all of their hearts
9:52
Mixed work
9:55
There is great suffering for women in many aspects
9:59
From her
10:01
Suffering in lowering her gaze
10:04
She struggles to control her emotions
10:07
She struggles to maintain the purity of her heart
10:11
And the suffering of not spoiling a man’s heart
10:15
And suffering in her commitment to the legal dress that pleases her Lord
10:21
She suffers from controlling her speech and the way she speaks
10:25
Were women able to work in men's fields?
10:29
Get over this suffering
10:33
We will continue in the next meeting, God willing
10:36
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
10:40
The story of women's suffering in the time of Moses, peace be upon him
