This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.com Soam, māyakmāyhāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwāwā you know whether it's here in the United States or it's in Europe or wherever it may be

these are times where Muslims find themselves in the position where they start to question

whether or not they're able to give up certain things that they've been doing their entire lives because they're genuinely afraid for themselves.

And this particular video, the reason why I'm making this particular video is because there's a sister that

walks into my office and this morning and she's an absolute you know just

panic and she's crying and she's traumatized and she's saying that this was the first time in her life since she was seven years old

that she actually took off her hijab and went out in public without her hijab.

And she was wondering whether a law's

I was going to punish her or so on so forth,

whether or not she did the right thing.

And it's a very legitimate question.

I have to say this from the onset of this video

that I'm not going to

judge anyone's individual standing in the sight of Allah's

not for me to do or for anyone else to do. How a person carries

themselves is between them in Allah'shano It's a la.

And what we're doing here is just clarifying how we should be reacting to the situation

and coping with the fear that we feel as a result of the situation that we've been placed in.

And you know, I shared in my Jutba yesterday something that I found extremely powerful and inspiring.

I was actually talking to a Sikh. I found extremely powerful and inspiring.

I was actually talking to a Sikh at an interfaith conference and he said something

really powerful to me because you know that community has been targeted by Islamophob because an Islamophobe can't distinguish the Sikh from a Muslim.
