Brothers and sisters never forget our oppressed brothers and sisters in your dua and raise awareness for them specially the uyghur brothers and sisters. Our brothers in kashmir are also in great pain. Also pray for the wellbeing of our brothers and sisters in afghanistan. Remember dua is the biggest strength of a believer. Our beloved prophet(sm) said ,'‘Whoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he is unable to, then with his tongue; if he is unable, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith.’' Narrated by Muslim in his saheeh

Actually, the gender question has been profoundly explored and detailed in an astonishing book series called " Muslim Women: Journey into the Light" written by the contemporary scholar Abdessalam Yassine.

I’ve very happy and thankful that I learned English, alhamdullah. Your channel gives me hope Mr Paul. May Allah grant you heaven without Judgment. Edit: Dr Celene is astonishing, such an Educated woman being a Muslim is a blessing to the Muslim community. May Allah keeps your hearts on the straight path.

Dr. Celene is absolutely amazing

Such special people, such a valuable discussion on a very much required book. Nice.

Quite an enjoyable listen. Well structured and concise. I would suggest more verses from quran to be recited and translated throughout her explanation. Overall, she has a much needed genle approach on what has heretofore been very biased.

In the Quran there are two words mentioned for "parents", one derived from "father" and the other from "mother". The former is mentioned when the verse has do with responsibilty, duties, inheritance, etc., and the latter when the focus is on treating parents with love and respect.

Wow what a brilliant accomplished woman , loved listening to her, can’t wait to buy her books .

Great questions by Paul. I have never heard of a healthy patriarchy being articulated as such. And excellent answers by Dr Celine. Both concise and answered in depth.

Matching bookcases ! Very nice gentle discussion

Thoroughly enjoyed this, so glad to have a Muslim female scholar on Blogging theology. Thank you brother Paul, and good questions as usual - I particularly liked the way you formulated the thesis proposal question. Inshallah will add this book to my "to buy" book list which has a few books from Blogging Theology.

Mashallah. I like her views. She is brilliant.

For long time Muslim brothers have left out portraying women figure in out in quran. Thank you to Celine and to Paul for highlighting the issues..

Paul Williams Exposed @ 11:35 - 11:40 min: “I didn’t realize that you were a revert AS WELL” (I choose to interpret that Paul meant himself as well - Allahu’Alam) Welcome back Paul 😊🤲🏾 (although, we all kind of knew)

That education trail! MasyaAllah!!

How wonderful is to watch such an interview with the Islamic schooner Dr Celene Ibrahim. She clearly showed the narrow and distorted view of the place of women in islam which adopted by the extremists around the world today. Than you Paul Williams.

Peace be with you all

Proud your name Dr. Ibrahim My name is Ibrahim, they told me I should change my name in order to get better job . I said I’ll never do that that’s the name my dad gave me and it’s the name of one of the best men ever lived It’s a name of a man that half the planet believe that he is a prophet of Allah The name is pronounced as Abraham but the name comes from اب رحيم Ab Raheem which means merciful Father

mashallah very nice

Nice 👍🏼

The uniqueness of Mariam PBUH is not only because she was the mother of Isa PBUH, but because of who she was as well. Although she was very young, I think only 16 years old, she was very close to Allah. When she was in her solitary, Zakariya would visit her and find food that was out of season and when he asked where it came from, she said “It is from Allah, Surely Allah provides for whoever He wills without limit (Surah al-Imran 3:37).

Thanks!

People who are sincere in searching for the truth should take advantage of discussions like this for more authentic and academic dimensions To the TRUTH!

She is amazing ..love frm mr. Hussaini / Australia

What a beautiful human being is I this saintly woman!!! May Allah grant her paradise !!! She is a light in a world full of deceit !!!

Great interview. Paul, please try to get Dr. Yahya Michot on your channel. He's an expert on Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Sina and is a very interesting person.

Nice

The most beautiful book , the Quran Thank you Allah for preserving the Quran

Dr Celine is indeed an intellectual and is able to see the contradictions between the Quran and Muslim society and between the role Model of Prophet Muhammad as a husband and the leader in Medina and present day Muslim men while upholding Quranic model of role of men and women should be. However Quran is a book for guidance and wisdom for all times and it’s authenticity and relevancy will be more if the Quranic verses could be reinterpreted and applied to present society. We are seeing feministic movement within Muslim society is due to the fact they don’t find their place in present day patriarchal society and pushing them away towards secularism . Kindly invite Dr Amina Wadud to your program. Thank you for today’s talk Paul and Dr Celine Ibrahim

Interesting

Lovely

I would had love to ask Dr. Ibrahim a question: Should motherhood be regarded as a full time job and every government needing to pay every mother a living wage?

Dear Paul. As long as you choose a woman, you can host other women such as: Shariffa Carlo Al Andalusia and Ruba Qewar

Paul is inteligent he invites scholars who shed more light on various issues unlike others who believe in wht media infrms them

Enjoyed listening to one of the successful wives’ topics of the Prophet which men take advantage of

Hadith is equally important as Quran whenever we talk of Woman in Islam. The narrations or Hadith help us to contextualise various otherwise complex and often “difficult verses of the Quran with regard to relationship between men and women in Islam. In particular narrations from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) are central in this aspect. Unfortunately the feminist discourse has parochialy focused only on Quran when talking about the women in Islam and has dogmatically like most orientalists discarded the Hadith as a later construction.

I will (GOD willing) protect my wife and children and try my best to be the best source of their rizq, providing for them and taking care of them, but in my household my wife is the boss and what she says go, primarily because she is smarter than me, wiser then me, and is an actual alima (Muslim scholar) who has studied Islam in traditionally. We play to our strengths, while at the base of it we maintain roles highlighted in Islam, because it works well. I have heard of a Hadith where THE Omar ibn Khatab, was kicked out of his house because his wife was angry at him, yelling at him, and a sahaba who witness this asked him why did he let this happen.. and he said she cooks for and she takes care of me, why wouldn’t I let her or be patient with her. .

MashaAllah

Free PDF Copy of her Work and translated to arabic , can be big step , in the arab region we miss alot .

There's another book that addresses these issues that I hope you'd be interested in reading: Correcting Misconceptions

Please add english subtitles

Dear Paul, could you have her again and discuss about all these binary and non binary gender I've been hearing more about.

It seems to me that the culture of Arabia at that time was that young men married older women and old men married younger women. And the reason seems to be that one being older meant that person had more wealth while the younger person was more active to do the work that needed to be done. It seems to me that the harsh environment required survival to be one of the major factors in getting married for many people in their culture.

Problem is not that muslim men don't want their women to work nowadays but it is rather that nowadays there are hardly any job where muslim women can maintain her islamic modesty and recommended islamic segregation which was not the case at the time of Khadija (r.a) as she used to work from home. Otherwise great discussion ❤️

Can someone please put time stamps.

Sorry missed the en of the verse In their presence, and sufficeth Allah as a Reckoner.

She’s right, there’s presently over emphasis on “Fiqh” , rather than the focus being on the Quran and the sunna of the holy prophet (pbuh).

"Global crisis of masculinity". That really hits the nail on its head.

Asslaam u alaikum wah rahmatullah Women “Women are not created weaker but more generous than men. They are created more beautiful and less fierce, as beauty hates to hurt and harm others. That is why they seem weak to people, but in reality they are not. Angels are the strongest of created beings, and women are closer to the angelic nature than men, as they readier than men to carry angelic light”. His last will was “Be good to women”. (Prophet Mohammed S.A.W) Mercy For All Mankind Aslam

11:34 One of brother Pauls subtle ways of telling us he is a revert. I admire how he somehow manages to remain a "muslim submarine" in plain sight

Simply put, verse 4-34 is about "veto" power of husband when all else fails, otherwise equal rights.

Listening to her and some of your other Muslim guest, I have realized the difference in Islamic academia between western Islamic scholars and “traditional” Islamic scholars. You should consider having someone more knowledgeable talk about things like the “revolt” that Aiesha was in and some of those matters that are often misrepresented. Try someone like Ibn Farooq or someone like that. I’m sure you would have some great questions to ask.

Just look at Paul s face at 21:54. You can see he s savored that answer 😆

People often miss the fact that quran mentions a marriage age, not explicitly. I dont remember the exact place but when God talks about how to treat orphans and their wealth an so on. Then goes on to say marry them when they come of age and how do you know how they are of age, God says test them. So Aisha would have been of marriage age I will post the verses later.

Wow, i thought you said «the book “Islam and moneteism”» which i would like to have read, but it was monotheism (-:

@Leviticus 26:1,...neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: I am the Lord your God. God bless you on your journey!!!

Would be so interested to know how she came to Islam

Spouse is the true translation; unfortunately, English dos does not help this term in many situations especially when it comes to reward or conscience

Can you invite prof Lesley Hazleton to your podcast. She has an extensive knowledge about prophet Muhammad S.A.W.

3:58

Sure al-nisa verse 6 See the marriage age? And examine the orphans until they attain the age of wedlock, then if ye perceive in them and discretion, hand over unto them their substance, and consume it not extravagantly or hastily for fear that they may grow. And whosoever is rich, let him abstain, and whosoever is needy let him take thereof reputably. And when ye hand over their substance unto them, call in witness
