 Asalaamu alaikum guys, how is it going? Just wanted to say in buzzing as I filmed this video so I was just scrolling through the internet right and I probably got my socks knocked off when I stumbled upon this viral clip. It's all about this teenager who's got us all feeling who provides slumbering the way forward. I mean seriously, where can you find such respectful and religious-minded young lads in the westerns days? Apart from a few conservative Christians who cling to their old fashioned ways, it feels like new body really cares to toes about ethics anymore. It's a right share mate. Guys, what do you think about this? I actually watched this video several times and kept telling myself that Islam is the only truth. Truth they say is truth and does a change to see anyone. When people try to modify or paint the truth to suit our wins and cry prices, then we quickly understand that it's not the truth but lies all along. If we take a look at the other video, we can understand that a teenage student wasn't disrespectful to the teacher. It was just being polite in the light of his Islamic faith. However, people in Norway interpreted it as a sign of disrespect because apparently they don't know anything about Islam. For clarity, the source of this boy's action can be found in most Nader Ahmed. This is a highly respected and considered one of the major sources of hadith in Sunni Islam alongside collections such as Saki al-Bukhari, Saki Muslim, Sunnah Abu Dawul and Jami'at Tamrati. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, once said, as narrated by Abu Hurrah, it seems better for one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle than to touch a woman who is not permissible for him. Al-Mughirah ibn Sheban even recalls that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, also said, I did not shake hands with women. Let's talk about what the teacher said afterward, right? I've got to say it's a blooming pride for to think that every person who moves to Norway should teach their own character and traditions in favour of Norwegian ones. I mean, seriously, that's just downright arrogant. I thought that the country provide fantastic opportunities for folks to flourish in a free democratic society, but that shouldn't mean we have to give up our own identities, right? And speaking of respect for women, our dear Mufti Menk has got some very great wisdom on that topic. We'll listen to him. My brothers and sisters, you will have to at some stage interact with the opposite sex and even those who are not related to you. You will have to at some point as a human being when you walk, when you perhaps might go to a public place in public transport, maybe at a place of the marketplace or wherever else it may be, maybe at the doctors, at the pharmacies, at school, at university, wherever it may be, you will have to interact at some point with the opposite sex, those who are not related to you and not mahram. How should you interact with them? I tell you, there is one word, very respectfully. You might say those are two words. Well, very is only descriptive. But when it comes to respectfully, you need to understand that's the word. Be very respectful. Treat them as though they are, you know, the favor of Allah upon you, the opportunity Allah has given you to address the opposite sex. It should be absolutely respectful. It's an act of worship to respect others. And don't ever address a person in a very cheap way, in a very derogatory way, vulgar, abusive, etc., or just without having any shame, you know, shameless way. People just address others as though they have no scruples. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us an understanding. So I am here today to tell you, please respect the opposite sex and even the same gender. Respect all human beings. Make sure when you address them, you bear in mind all the rules and regulations, you know, the rule of controlling your gaze and lowering it, the rule of speaking in a good tone, choosing good words, getting to the point, you know, not saying that which is unnecessary, irrelevant, going into perhaps details that are embarrassing and so on, that which is unnecessary, putting people into a spot in, you know, in a corner and so on. Remember that. Let's speak to others respectfully. We will have to interact. I interact. You interact. We all have to interact. I don't know of anyone who says I've never had to in my life or will never have to interact with the opposite sex. You will. You're a human being and you need to do so respectfully. You need to understand the regulations, the rules to the best of your ability and capacity. You will address them and inshallah use the best words because Allah is watching and whatever you've said is recorded and it will be held for you or against you. Wouldn't you like on the day of judgment, beautiful book to come out and this is the way you address the opposite sex, every word you said is held for you and not against you. May Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala Let that happen for us. I'll say this. All right, folks. Let's wrap it up there. Shall we?
