A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Contemporary issues threatening the Muslim family.
0:12
Among the grave issues threatening the Muslim family and the Muslim home:
0:19
First, the issue of "women's liberation."
0:23
This is a cause championed by atheists, secularists, hypocrites, and their ilk.
0:29
They claim to desire freedom for women and to deliver them from the injustice and enslavement they supposedly endure.
0:37
In reality, their call is for women to abandon the hijab and to intermingle with men.
0:43
They have labeled this "women's liberation."
0:46
They forget that Allah, the Almighty, is the One who guaranteed women their rights and honored them.
0:53
This is well-established in the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
0:56
What they are calling for is, in truth, the destruction of the family.
1:01
Second, and even more severe than the aforementioned, is what is currently known as the "independent woman."
1:08
This is a movement adopted by feminist organizations.
1:12
Known as the feminist movement.
1:15
It goes beyond the scope of "women's liberation."
1:18
By propagating the concept that a woman has no need for a man.
1:22
And that she should live independently in her own private home.
1:26
They see no objection to her bringing whomever she wishes into it as lovers or companions.
1:32
She is to be the one who provides for herself.
1:35
And she is the one who has, by their claim, the full right and freedom to live however she pleases.
1:41
Currently, a counter-feminist movement has emerged in America.
1:47
It calls for women to return to their primary role in the home and the raising of children.
1:53
It has an influence on politics today, especially in America.
1:58
Third, and more dangerous than all of the above:
2:02
The current widespread support for homosexual men and women.
2:07
They permit a woman to suffice with a woman like herself.
2:11
And a man with a man like himself.
2:14
This is the act of the people of Lot.
2:16
That alone is sufficient as a crime and an obscenity.
2:19
They call for them to live together in one home.
2:23
And they claim that this constitutes a family.
2:27
They deceptively and alluringly label this group "homosexuals."
2:33
In the West, they have enacted laws and systems.
2:36
That permit the marriage of a man to a man and a woman to a woman.
2:41
Indeed, the matter has now reached the point of criminalizing those who object to it.
2:46
And they have threatened to impose penalties upon them.
2:49
By Allah, this is the very essence of declaring the forbidden lawful and legislating besides Allah.
2:55
Let the Muslims hold fast to their Shari'ah.
2:58
Let them reject this with strength.
3:01
And let them expect the wrath of Allah, His curse, and His destruction upon everyone who permits this.
3:07
“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)
