00:00and he pulls the hijab of her face and he throws it in the sea.
00:08There's a woman
00:10whose name is Huda Sha'rawi.
00:13Hopefully some of you have not heard of her.
00:16Huda Sha'rawi is supposed to be the liberator of women
00:20in Egypt.
00:21And Egypt, without any sort of bigotry,
00:23it's all dust and it's all the lands of Allah,
00:25is considered at times the heart of the Ummah,
00:27due to the number of the population
00:29and its central location.
00:31And thus the majority of the propaganda
00:33is targeted towards Egypt.
00:36She was known as the liberator of women.
00:38She was sent off right to France.
00:41She became modernized, educated, sophisticated supposedly.
00:46And back then in Egypt,
00:48before the British completed their brainwashing of those generations,
00:53covering the face as a part of hijab
00:56was a matter of culture.
00:58Forget religion.
00:59It was known across the board.
01:01A woman covers her face in public.
01:03She came back with her PhD now
01:06to liberate the women,
01:08to introduce to them
01:10the real true good life.
01:13A'udhu Billah.
01:15She comes off the boats
01:19in the harbor in Alexandria,
01:21the northern tip of Egypt.
01:23And her mentor
01:26steps up,
01:27and everyone's there to see it.
01:29A woman with a PhD.
01:30And this was all choreographed before.
01:33He walks up to her,
01:34and he sticks his hand.
01:35Wa'l-'Iyadhu Billah.
01:36He will meet this on the day of judgment.
01:38And he pulls the hijab off her face,
01:41and he throws it in the sea.
01:42And the crowd goes wild.
01:44Her father was a very reputable man.
01:47Someone very big,
01:49and known, and noble.
01:51He refused to greet his daughter.
01:54Because you know,
01:56in common understanding,
01:58opposing culture,
01:59is even worse than opposing sharia,
02:01in most people's minds.
02:03Thus people will join sharia by opposing culture.
02:06So he refused to greet his daughter.
02:08Nor look in her face,
02:09nor ever speak to her again.
02:12Think she cared?
02:13She didn't care.
02:14She went on with her mission.
02:17And women began to repeat this
02:19throughout the country.
02:20There's a place in Egypt called Medan al-Tahrir.
02:23Liberty Square.
02:24You know why it's called Liberty Square?
02:26Many people don't know this.
02:27Because in succession,
02:30bunch of women got together,
02:31pulled off their niqabs,
02:33threw them on the ground,
02:34poured gasoline, and threw a match.
02:36That's Liberty Square.
02:38And people don't know.
02:39They follow the crowds.
02:42And they're proud of what they did.
02:44Another one of them,
02:45also one of her supposed disciples,
02:49she says,
02:50I was the first ever
02:52to wear shorts in high school and play basketball.
02:55And she's proud of what she did.
02:58So is not the Muslim,
03:01regardless of the consequences,
03:04more obliged to stand firm?
03:07Even if it means walking the earth
03:09with a sour taste in their mouth?
03:11Al-Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah has two chapters
03:15in his sahih.
03:18Keep them in mind
03:19or understand them with me.
03:22One of them is called
03:24the chapter of
03:27they will never cease to be
03:29a group of my ummah
03:31apparent upon the truth.
03:33This is with regards to
03:36a statement of the Prophet ﷺ,
03:38that they will never be
03:40a wipe out completely of the Muslims.
03:42Ever.
03:43It's Allah's promise to His Messenger ﷺ.
03:45So they will always be,
03:46even if it's one person or two people,
03:47there will always be a group of the ummah
03:50upon the truth.
03:51Apparent, strong with it.
03:53Then the next chapter,
03:55he says,
03:56the chapter of
03:58you will surely follow
04:01the footsteps of the nations before you.
04:03It's great that Al-Bukhari rahimahullah
04:05paired these two chapters up.
04:06The second one is referring to the hadith
04:08of the Prophet ﷺ wherein he said,
04:11that you will surely follow
04:13the footsteps of those before you.
04:15Hand span by hand span,
04:16arm's length by arm's length.
04:17Even if they go into a lizard's hole,
04:18you'll go in after them.
04:19They said, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ,
04:22the Jews and the Christians,
04:23the Romans and the Persians, the West.
04:25He said, who else?
04:27So now imagine this with me.
04:28The whole ummah,
04:30this is the norm
04:32that was foretold,
04:33will be heading towards the West.
04:36And there's a group
04:38that will stand apparent on the truth,
04:40even if they're few.
04:42Strangers.
04:43Opposed by everyone.
04:45Even those that claim
04:47to follow the same religion as them.
04:49So brace yourself.
