Things Non-Muslims Should Know About Muslims | Dakara Ma | Non-Muslim Reaction | Rules of Islam 

i find it interesting that people see islam as ‘restrictive’ but humans will naturally follow the laws of the society/country they live in

6:21 actually she forgot to mention that you can touch relatives. Brothers, fathers, Uncles,Grandfathers etc

As a Muslim you can hug your brother, father, son, grandfather, grandson, nephews..etc

6:32 She is talking about the strangers who are not related to her (not a father, a brother, a son, a nephew, a niece, or an uncle). 7:08 1- I have a question please; what kind of spirituality will be remained? 2- does it mean that people's kindness measures or civilization indexes are the female's availability for being hugged or touched by strangers? 3- What if change accelerates? what will be the required indicators of openness and civilized behavior by then? 4- where do you think that will lead to?

This is about the "hugging & shaking hand" part.. There's easier way to understand this rule by knowing this basic rule : 1. If the person you about to hug/shake hand are a person who you can get marry to, it's HARAM (forbidden). 2. Therefore a small child, your mom, grandma..you get the picture...they are HALAL (allowed). You can only touch them hugging/hand shake once you get married. This is simply because human are weak to flesh.. A simple touch could end up to be something else..😅

women in Islam are not allowed to shake hands or hug only with strangers but it's ok with their husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles,. They can even take off their veils

I'm Muslim and you can hug your fathers and brother uncles grandfather's but not strangers and male cousins

We are MUSLIMS, not Christians nor Jews, we don’t reform our religion depending on our actual socio-political situation. We know that God The Allknowing has sent down the seal of Prophets and laws to abide by till the end of times. So what about YOU try and be open minded to this fact.

not hugging the other gender does not include your father, brother, husband and son

Loved it! *Visiting the sick.. recommended by the prophet (pbuh) 70.000 angels prays for a person who visits the sick.

During pandemic everyone experienced, no hugging, shaking hands and we also experienced we pretty good to interact with even mask on face 😊

10:35 Unfortunately this happens no matter what but in Islam, we can say with conviction that this is a human error. Muslims will sometimes lie to themselves or deliberately twist words to their own favor. For example, smoking! Islam strictly forbids eating/intaking anything that is purely harmful to you and (I think) addicting is also forbidden. Yet so many make excuses about why they can smoke cigarettes or shisha. Human's by nature will take the easy way out, it's almost inevitable. But thankfully, this is an individual issue, scholars will generally admit that this is not okay.

Sunnah means the way of the prophet. Basically, he showed us how the quran is to be implemented in our lives. Quran is the primary source of authority.

I am a Muslim living in South Africa. My Christian neighbors have keys to my house. They enter and help themselves to my groceries/food even when I am not there. What's mine is there's. That includes the bathroom! So they enjoy liberties with us, but they have to 'istinja' when using our toilet. Its a win-win because they learn better hygiene.

6:38 wait,,, we can hug our fathers, brothers, grandparents and uncles 😭

People have become so open minded that their brain fall out.

Cute. Informative. Sweetly narrated. And you both react with respect. :)

you guys are cool and so respectful. Really like your reactions, subscribed. Assalamu alai kum brothers (peace be upon you )

You can feel compassion WITHOUT physical contact. As you say, "the world is changing", we have a digital life now. We could hang out with people simply just by talking or texting with them. Also, if any non-Muslim refuse to be touched or hugged, people will say "Well, that's their privacy and personal space. You can't invade it without their consent". Irony, huh? Also, isn't there are five love language that people often to talk these days? There soooo many ways to express the love and compassion. Like Dakara Ma presented in her videos, we smile to people, we share/give food to other people (family, neighboring, friends, or just a stranger in needs), be kind with others, helping them, and says something kind to support them.

when she said not allowed to hug men she didn't mean her father, siblings and nephews...she meant other men

Of course you can hug and kiss your father, brother, , son, uncle, grandfather, nephew, grandson. But not a stranger or a cousin ( because in Islam it’s allowed to marry your cousin)

i really recommand u to try to go on the livestream of :the muslim lantern:, it would help u understand islamic povs way better

We can hug close family like Spouse, siblings, parents grandparents, aunts, uncles... etc. You don’t alway have to wash your feet before prayer if you already washed them for a previous prayer that day and have your socks and shoes on.

Great Muslims from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❤

we do what we do because its ordered by Allah, we don't need to change anything about islam

I always love your reactions on Islamic videos, please more and more ❤❤❤❤

May Allah guide you to Islam brother And keep them videos uploading and more videos about Islam people wanna actually learn 🤍

I have watched few Islamic reactions you guys have done and by far this has been my favourite.

Hugging the opposite gender in islam. 1. You can hug your family - people who you cannot marry for obvious reasons 2. You can hug an elderly , even in their death beds 3. Prevention is better than cure In Islam, the rules about men and women not touching each other are there to keep everyone safe. It's like saying it's better to stop something bad from happening in the first place, rather than trying to fix it after it's already happened. For example, if a man and a woman shake hands, and the man starts thinking he likes the woman just from that small touch, those thoughts could lead to bigger problems like arguments, sadness, or even more serious trouble. So, Islam tries to stop these problems before they even start. By not having men and women touch, it stops any bad thoughts or actions early on. This way, everyone is protected, and we don't have to worry about fixing problems because we've stopped them from happening in the first place. It's all about making sure every single person is safe and respected.

To comment on what you guys said : Hugging the opposite gender is Haram but not if it's a daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife (ofc lol) grandmas and so on Now this is the main point There are actually other exceptions, for example you guys mentioned that it's a bit cold that you can't hug someone who's struggling with death and so on, well actually it's not that simple, now i can't just say it's halal or haram but it depends, if like your female relative is sick she is hurt and needed a hug im pretty sure it's cold to leave her like that, in cases like these Allah judges you by your intentions, the hug you'd give to someone who's sick is ofc without lustful intentions, and for that we say you can give a hug and the rest is up to Allah, also if she is the one who went for the hug of course you accept the hug, nothing wrong with that, your intention was to sooth the pain of someone else. And as usual, we always say Allah knows best.

Hugging and hand shaking allowed for certain relatives. Like sister, mother , grandmother, aunt (sisters of mom & dad) etc... the persons you're not allowed to get married by the bond of blood. How it is proggressive to hug someone when you're allowed to marry with the person? Is this rational?

We can hug our blood relatives but can't hug strangers 😊

Hi I'm Muslim and I will tell you something about the hug 🫂. You can hug you brother and father but you can't hug other or other family members. 😊

انت جعلتني اضحك عندما تكلمت عن فقرة العناق 😂😂😂😂 ، خذ نفس لا تستعجل إسأل وابحث

May Allah guide you. Islam is like another science subject, or in philosophical way, it's as deep and wide as the ocean. Man, being Muslim and not practicing Islam at all is useless...a big lose for mankind. Am so proud to be part of this ummah. May Allah help Palestine, Yemen and so on. May we passed the test with flying colors. 🎉❤

There are a few misunderstandings that often occur between Muslims and other religions. Like when you don't have contact with the opposite sex, where people think Muslims are 100% unable to interact with the opposite sex. Like a woman can't hug their little brother or father, that's not true. Interactions between women such as holding hands, hugging or even kissing men on the cheek are limited to men who are not directly related to the family. Muslim women can interact with their sons, with their brothers, with their fathers, with their uncles, with their grandfathers, with their cousins, because they have a close family relationship with her. However, this limitation only applies to people outside the family, including male friends, brothers-in-law, aunt's husband. The reason is quite simple because physical contact can cause feelings for both of them. And in Islam this can potentially lead to something undesirable, and often harms women. So the prohibition against having contact with the opposite sex is a limitation for men and protection for women. That's why touching the opposite sex is not a sin, it is a rule to protect the name of both.

All practicing Muslims: stay in the proper distance, practicing the cleanness because we have to take wudhu and maintain it to pray, stay healthy while eating in allowance portions and taking care of the body, not consume harmful substances/food, not yawn with mouth open (covering it), also cover the mouth when sneezing, etc. Practicing Muslimah (Muslims who is female): *wear niqab and gloves Other people during COVID-19: DON'T FORGET TO SOCIAL DISTANCE, WASH YOUR HANDS, WEAR MASKS AND CONSUME HEALTHY FOOD. STAY HEALTHY!

The "don't touch the opposite gender" rule isn't applied to family :) it's only for strangers and friends.

When she talked about not hugging, she meant "strangers, not family members" . But you can hug your family, parents, siblings, uncle and aunt, grandparents... etc. The rule applies on non relatives.

2:10 there are alot of muslim women that talk about islam but most of them talk about their hijabs becuase they want people to understand that we are not forced to wear them at all

You can hug your brother and your father and your nephews and uncles not strangers

6:21 wanted to mention we CAN hug and touch family/close relatives. We’re not hermits that never speak to each other lol

Ok SO its only to male or female strangers that cannot touch each others but you can touch your family /the male in the fam .so only the related ❤hope you get it

The muslims can Hug their Brothers or sisters. As long as their a family member its ok to hug them :)

I just watched that video 😂😂❤

6:33 m a little confused from that conversation cus english is not my first language but i would like to clarify that we have certain people of the opp gender that we can hug, that includes our brothers, father, grandparents, not cousins.

3:30 "im not vegetarian but i tell them i am one when im eating outside" yes girl this is the EXACT thing i always say 🙊

ummm y'all understood the "no touching the other gender" in a wrong way guys xD when we say this, we mean no touching people who are not family to u, or as we call them "non-Mahrams" which are the people who we should put hijab in front of them. so ofc u can hug ur brother or father or grandfather or uncle... plus in islam there is no such thing as "close friendships" with the other gender, but only friendships that are baced on respect if so. just like a worker would respect their co-worker and would do anything to help, but no more than that.. no hanging out and stuff.

imagine seeing ur crush shaking hand with someone. imagine her hugging somene. what feeling gets formed? jealousy. imagine u shaking hand with some girl. what feeling u might get? you know it right. to prevent every those kind of feelings its said. moreover if ur gonna just go and hug some girl then whats difference between her husband and u???????

Just so you know, a girl can hug her biological dad, biological uncle, brother(biological or step-brother from mother's side but only If he got breastfeeded by the mom), biological son and her husband. Also, a boy can hug his biological biological mom, biological aunt, sister(biological or step-sister from mother's side but only If she got breastfeeded by the mom), biological daughter and his wife.

she forgot to mention that we can touch and hugs and kiss our relatives dad brothers and famlly

Just a correction about no hugging the other gender. You can hug your brother/sister, father/mother, niece/nephew, stepfather/stepmother, stepson/stepfather, basically, close relatives.

7:15 here there are a lot of relatives that women can hug and kiss (on the cheek) like brothers and father, strangers can't, which are all specified so it's not confusing

Islam also has its own rules of Economics (for example "Interest" is forbidden).

I know a lot of people already mentioned this, but I'm not sure if they have mentioned this key part. Yes you can still touch your close relatives, such as fathers, grandparents, husbands/spouses etc. Uncles and Aunties ARE included, but under a certain condition. Firstly, let's talk about the 2 types of people when it comes to who you can have physical contact to, mahram and non-mahram people. Mahram people are those you can have physical contact with, and for girls can show their hair. People who come under the mahram category are your spouses, parents, grandparents. They are also the people whom you cannot marry. Non-mahram people are quite the opposite of muharram people and are the people whom you can marry. Now back to aunties and uncles. Aunties and uncles that would be considered be your MAHRAMS are those of your parents blood. So your father's siblings and your mother's siblings. So for a woman, your uncle who is your dad's sister's husband would STILL be your non-mahram, even though he's your uncle. I'm also certain that cousins are considered your non-mahram too, though don't just rely on me do some research too 😅 Anyway that's what I was taught by both school and my parents. If I have said anything wrong don't feel threatened to correct me in the replies 😅

i as a muslim can hug my mother, father, brothers, sisters and close relatives. but about the friendship one - i kinda believe that having a very close friendship with the opposite gender is not okay because islam says to maintain distance so it'd be hard to do that if we are really close

10:20 there is actually something like that lol, instead of having to wash our feet every time you do ablution , you can instead lightly graze your socks with water , but this has some requirements aswell, like your socks have to be completely clean and you have to wear them after doing full body ablution (essentially just a shower with some extra steps) , then you can proceed to wetting your socks (lol) before prayer for the next day and a night then the ritual expires and you have to restart with a shower and clean socks. this might seem useless but trust me it makes a difference in winter if you suffer from chronic cold feet like me.

About hugs in Islam, you can hug the opposite gender of your family members like your child (even your adopted child), spouse, parents, parents siblings, siblings, siblings children and you can hug your cousins/nieces until they are 12

Greetings from Muslim Indonesia 🇮🇩

We can hug our brothers and uncles and grandfathers and fathers etc..😂 she mean unrelated men

The ablution part there are some prayers that are close in timings so if you maintain your ablution until next prayer time you can pray with the same and don't have to do it all over again that could be what you guys were thinking if there's some shortcut or something like that😅

6:34 Muslims CAN hug and physically touch specific relatives, including their father/mother, siblings, uncles/aunts

I still shake hand when it's required (like when I working, or during professional event), but if the other person in this case men claps his hand or bowed just to tell me they don't want to shake my hand, I will genuinely happy because I know they do that to protect me and honored me.

Islam teachs us every day moral that why we arent changing with time

10:25 you're absolutely right, and I even have an example about this exact topic, wudu! (ablution, as she translated in the video). There is a hadith (saying from the prophet, pbuh) that says if you do an ablution, and then put socks on, you keep the ablution under the socks. meaning, if you break the ablution (going to the bathroom, passing gas, etc) then the next time you do an ablution, if you haven't taken the socks off, all you have to do is wipe over them. the same is true for hijab. BUT this is a thing that people will just conveniently leave out: the socks referred to in this hadith are *leather* socks. meaning waterproof! normal cotton socks of today do not fit the bill to apply this hadith! but people will stop you taking your socks off at the mosque for ablution and insist you don't need to.

Very creative and great reaction and commentary

time change and principle changes but we need to respect what god says he knows more than us

When 'don't touch a stranger of the opposite sex' is controversial. It is society which need to change not the rule. Just don't touch a woman you are not committed to. This should be common sense. May Allah protect us from the devils plans

Lol the not hugging other gender part got me. As a Muslim woman she definitely left out some bits. It's only marriageable genders you can't hug/touch (simply put)

6:38 I am not muslim but the country I’m from is , (well it wasn’t always like that) BUT , fathers , brothers , sons and boys under 14 can have contact with the other gender. Same goes for women. I actually have a lot of say… bad experiences with this religion but I try to respect everyone and learn more about islam and see it in more of a positive perspective.

We can hug our fathers and relatives

Brothers, family members CAN DEFINITELY hug eachotjer , ir is highly encouraged to siow live and conoassion to you family members, like you parents and siblings, uncles , aunts, grandparents. I think the woman in the video didn't explain it properly, she did a good job, but she didn't give enough detailed explanation on certain topics.

I love seeing others learn about our religion

Huging between pure relations is fine.(Brother, Father, Husband and Son) and vice versa. In cousins some keep it to just handshake but some don't. If we want to show respect like to elderly we get a pat on the head a gentle hand. We do it with cousins it only gets funny and not weird.😅

Also ,we can hugs fathers and brothers just people who are not part of our close family.

6:35 now that's a bit of a misconception; you can hug your brothers and father and some relatives if they're your direct uncle or an uncle you're close to. Like even when they're married, they can hug their father-in-law, but I should also mention that brother-in-laws aren't allowed to do so since it can mean different things based on peoples perspectives. I should also mention that if the person has not reached the age of puberty yet, they usually are allowed to hug people of the opposite gender be it their cousins or just friends. I should also mention that when it comes to intimacy it's fine since you have a different kind of relationship with the person than a usual friend of the opposite gender.

When you haven’t hugged someone you won’t want to hug them in their death. We are ok with praying for them. And that’s the best thing anyone can do.

6:36 in physical touch you can hug and shake hands with your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles,and grandparents ,however, you can't with your step siblings and cousins

Thats how you fight the tide, standing firm

She should carry a bowl with her to hold the water for the ritual washing of the feet.

7:30 SISTER PREDICTED THEIR BEHAVIOR Good job

Honestly, I'm surprised you still think these "restrictive" rules are exaggerated and unnecessary, specially looking at the "modern" westernized societies we have nowadays. we live in a time where a person is happy when they realize their lifelong partner "just" cheated on them a "few" times, cause "oh they just wanted a change", when normally this shouldn't ever happen. Or where the number of teen moms(single or just had to bear the responsibility unprepared) , number of abortions, number of people who don't know their real fathers or men who had to take the responsibility of a kid (only to come to realize it wasn't theirs and be heartbroken later on) & number of abandoned babies/kids is at an all-time high that we have whole communities for it.

Relatives (i.e. those whom one cannot marry): father, brother, uncle, and grandfather. All of these are allowed to be touched, and there is no need to wear the hijab in front of them. 6:38

now i would like to say that hugging or physical contact is only for strangers who can hugg your dad or your brother and the physical contact thing applies only to strangers or ppl who arent related by blood i hope that cleared out some things about that.

I think you have misunderstood the issue of not getting close to the opposite sex, because this does not include everyone. Rather, she can approach her father, her sisters, her paternal uncle, and her uncles. As for their children and other young strangers who are fit to be spouses, that is not acceptable.

Bro u are wrong in one think a girl can hug his father mother brother and sisters but not an outsider that is different

Selam Aleykum from 🇹🇷❤️

Yah I try not do wudu (abolution - Prepatory washing ritual before prayer) outside or at public building such as school or work. But one time when i was a kid I remember doing it in a public restroom and another kid asked his father what I was doing and he said something to the effect of "he's taking a shower" lmaooo

No we can hug our relatives😂😂♥️

6:40 well we can hug our brothers and father 😀

6:27 not a friendship but ur father and brother it’s fine I am sure she will explain it

I am a muslim, living currently in the Czech Republic (a country known for a very strong Beer Culture) , luckily for me, my co-workers now understand that I don't drink alcohol or beer and they also understand the concept of Halal Food and Haram food eventhough it was a little bit awckward to explain it in the beggining, and I really respect them a lot when they choose a local restaurent that has some vegetarian options so that we can all have lunch there. Speaking about beer and alcohol in general, it is forbidden to drink it but also it is forbidden to stay in a place where beer and alcohol is served (maybe the purpose behind it is to not feel the temptation to drink it when everyone around you is doing it, and at this point I am still struggling to let my colleagues know this as I am already weird enough), don't get me wrong, muslims use alcohol for medics, alcohol has a lot of useful purposes but we just don't drink it neither eat anything that contains alcohol whether it is chocolate or yogurt or biscuits

6:34 actually you can hug father,brother,and relatives but you can’t touch someone who isn’t relatively close to you because it well let to other things and it’s haram

you can hug people you can't marry meaning your brother father etc

6:37 We can hug brothers and fathers mabye also relatives from opposite gender if they didn't reach puberty or they gotta be like under 13

We are allow to hug family just not anyone else

About Hugging/touching the other gender; relatives of first degree (mothers, daughters, sisters) and aunts and grandmas and granddaughters and nieces are all accepted, and little kids too (under a certain age). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

You can hug brothers, fathers, blood uncles, grandfathers, for non blood uncles they usually just pat our heads when we great them or say goodbye.

btw with brothers fathers uncles for women and same with sisters mothers auntys for men you are allowed to hug them hand shakeand also with your spouse its also allowed

As for the separation of the two genders, a girl can hug her blood brothers, or breast feeding brothers, and her father and grandfather, and if course her husband, but anyone other than that is forbidden, and even when it's a death bed situation, it's understood that they can't touch each other, so it's perfectly fine, but if there wasn't any other choices, you can touch, but make it quick, and in a respectful way, that's all
