 I'll be honest with you. I've lived UK in nearly all of my life SubhanAllah and I've never been targeted personally because of the clothing I was wearing Now I never felt a conversation came to an end because of clothing I was wearing if anything it starts because of actually to be honest It started but then again, I'm not gonna make my experience of course everyone else's experience There are people who are targeted for their clothing what they wear male. I make easy for them I mean and people who live in other parts of Europe where obviously that it's not as multicultural if they Decides to wear jeans and a t-shirt to in purpose for the sake of giving that one Sometimes you even have to out like giving that one line again It's allowed. It's allowed. No one's saying it's haram as long as it fulfills the criteria and the obligation to cover your But it's it's something I wouldn't feel comfortable. I wouldn't feel comfortable in going to Person I'm not saying it's just my personal personal preference I don't want to impose on everybody else because my personal preference is only mine but I'm saying that As a Muslim, I don't know. I just as a Muslim. I want to I want to be different Mm-hmm, and that might mean that might mean me wearing Pakistani You know, Joachim is like I prefer that way before wearing a suit with suit. I prefer wearing an Arab Muslim's culture clothing with a lot of wear or Clothing Somali's wear or clothings which African wear then, you know, I mean like yeah, then jumping on the clothing worn by Generally worn by non-Muslims. I just want to look different to them Sure, not that I'm saying that the Somali mawis that we wear is like somehow from the Prophet I was a Sunnah. They're a bit I mean a piece of the lies and I'm but coming to this and The monkey suit I will a monkey suit Coming to the monkey zoo Don't you think to yourself that subhan Allah some people who wear it we can actually say that they're the suits are Haram Because the trousers are so tight. Yeah, and the blazer is so tight. Yeah, I think that's a potential argument I also think that I mean in that situation What is someone to do when their office mandates upon them? You can't wait to open the office in a corporate world in Canary Wharf No, but why can't you just wear a bit, you know, like a looser one a bit a looser one? Yeah Because remember the word Sarawil The word Sarawil The word Sarawil it's In the Arabic language is different from the word Bantalon Trousers Bantalon where the people were okay tight stuff that way Sarawil liking is the one you In the Indians they were as well the Pakistanis. Yeah, I know what you mean the big one leg the bomb you keep But you can't win at the office man. No, I'm saying that's that's good That's nice That's very nice because our doesn't show his father. It's very good. I'm not saying that I'm saying if you know where the monkey suit Make sure you it's not too tight because some people they come to the mystery They pray and then you can see their backside. They're out of show. It's so tight even when they walk They it's like they're struggling So of course above the ankles as well and again, it has to be above the ankles There are things that you have to observe. Yeah, by the way It can't be below the ankles. That's what it is. It can't be on the ankle. By the way, okay We just loosely say above that. Yes, so you're right I'm and I think just one more thing that I'd had probably from the that work perspective is that I can actually see and I've seen experiences Where people actually dress for example in the Islamic dress actually are more productive and given that were because there's an Element of that the person who is given that were to look at them So you really believe in what you believe don't you like it's changed your whole life It really affects you and that kind of conviction that you can see in you can often be a means for him to really think about Am I really convicted about my own beliefs? Where is that when there's someone thinks all for the sake of that one when the wet jeans and the t-shirts they can relate to me They're just thinking there's not really much difference when you and you and me You know, I can just carry on living my life the way I am Don't you think like you even your personal experience Don't you think like sometimes the clothing you wear has an effect on your reactions and your do your dealings 100% I've actually come from previously the corporate world where for example I was wearing a monkey's as you to call it and it affects the way you think It affects the way you your action fix the way you move even an actual worship like the salaf for example in the masjid Wearing in a suit is not the same feeling as when it as doing it in the thug Yeah, I just it's hard to put your finger on it But there's a profound effect between the clothing you wear and I suppose this is why there should be a place It's such a huge importance for the clothing you wear and that actions and even your mindset I know I'm not gonna lie even me personally when I'm driving and you know I've got my Mamma on I've got my hat on my head. I've got my thobon and it's visible and a car cuts me I'm calm. No problem brother. Take care. Make sure you watch next time Honestly, and I'm not the type to get angry anyways I don't have this road rage that people have and they get angry there so general I don't even have that slur. They cut me as just you know, you might cut someone else and they might do something to you But The way I react I might not be happy with what this person does, but I never respond and never vulgar and of course but I Act more sensible because I know I'm I'm resembling something and I'm I'm what I have to hold up hold what the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam I would have done in this situation What would he have done? And I know a brother subhanallah a group of brothers actually to honest They said to me that when they're in the roads and they get road rage They get angry they like whenever we want to get at this person and so that we take off our hat We follow on the front seat and we start saying things and then when we leave we pull out It's one I remember some kind of like here you a I basically was driving and I had got lost So you know this country the signs a bit sometimes hard So the Santa said turn right turn I was like oh not I looked I just had and I cut the front car Yeah, so he got angry really took your personal so he He came cut me and he breaks right in front of me You know yeah, so for me. It's I did it to you you did it to me But then he came to which came to traffic light he got out of the car He got angry came to the window very angry very angry because he what made him even more angry is because I smiled I was only smiling as it like don't worry about it. It's all good Yeah, you did to me. I he thought you're laughing at him or something maybe so he came on the window and he said to me As soon as he saw me and he saw my thobb. He saw my mama. He saw you know, he said your own practicing brother, man Why do I slow brother? I'm using a stand up. I don't know the city I caught you you did it to me and I smiled because you got me back. I have no rights to get angry But look how it is clothing makes people say you have to uphold it particular the other side my point Yeah, so true. It's so true. I know I know but like people in the UK for example It's not just limited to clothing's even the beard for example. It will actually stop you from committing sins Yeah, there might be people who would normally Before they go they did they might be thinking about going to the club for example You'd never dare walk into a club with a beard. It's just you know that I don't belong in here It's just only we will not go to a club. Yeah, so true. Yeah, we did it just All these acts the outer appearance that we have as muslims we have to understand it's to actually tell us in advance What we're gonna fall short in I know a sister who fell off. I Asked her a question. I said she came to you know help me. I am problems. Okay first question What was the first thing that happened before you yeah, and he started listening to music You started doing this side is what was first? She's like I took my hijab It is a hijab Not physically, but it's also a spiritual hijab it conceals all these problems from you the woman she takes off a niqab Just the niqab that she takes off Then the jilbab comes then it becomes a khimar then sometimes the hair is showing and sometimes this is not the point I'm trying to come to is The outer appearance has a strong effect on the heart
