What is the Islamic Notion of Masculinity (Rujūlah)? | Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi 

True. I feel like that was directed at me

What is toxic? Some things that are necessary to masculinity is seen as "toxic" today.

You can learn more if you look at the scholars he studied under.

***salAllahu 'alayhi wasallam

Really? So if women are uncomfortable around me because I'm ugly or have a big beard I'm not a "real man"? Women in the west are generally quite comfortable around men with "game"

Beautiful saying

💯💯💯

Frankly, I feel quite embarrassed by them.

Absolutely it’s always men this and that and the main thing destroying the household

Sorry but Shaykh Doctor Yasir Qadhi will never speak openly against his feminist masters

The only reason feminism got so big amongst Muslims is because men mistreat their wives and took the rights given to them by Islam away from them

@@sahalmohamed6638 But for the most part that is a truthful statement.

I can answer in one statement: Remove feminism from this world which brainwash women to go against men and people like andrew tate won’t get lot of attraction.

What worries me is that many young men both muslim and non-muslim seem to idolize Tate. Now with his arrest - even most muslim men are insisting Tate is honourable etc. I am not a follower of Tate and obviously it is not my place to judge. But having been a non-muslim before I get the impression Tate has this attitude of women being objects, possesions, and its ok for a man to have multiple partners but the "woman" must be faithful no matter what. Seems like many young ignorant muslim men agree with this attitude which is scary. And also it is these type of men that Tate is pulling towards Islam. Having a bunch of men who convert to Islam but still holding on to jahiliyah attitudes towards women can only be harmful to the ummah in the long run.😔

The question was about rujulu (men)

@@sadofaraji5999 the answer was not balanced, which prompted my response.

@@cloudstrife112 because the question was about masculinity.

@@sadofaraji5999 this is why we need another video about islamic femininity because all we ever hear is talks about how a man should behave and his roles but never how women should behave, I think this is due to fear of backlash by sisters entrenched by feminist ideas, and also how historically islam has been viewed as a "misogynistic" religion which has caused imams to shy away from speaking about such issues

@@smurfanb348 as Sheikh Yasir said in this clip ,he need I think if he get time to talk about feminity and masculinity.

Also some muslim men are abusive husbands and fathers - so it makes worse that their bad behaviour represents " Islam".

You hit the nail on the head. I am a teacher and I have worked with many boys, this is it. Also, my little brother fits this description perfectly as well.

He takes things to a different level. That's why people are concerned.

@@DhulqarTen balanced according to what happened with this particular incident and topic. I am sure if the topic was femininity he would have talked about feminism. Plus the time was short.

@@DhulqarTen I give you that. However the Shaykh is human and he has a lot of topics to talk about. I am sure the topic about feminism will come insha'ALLAH

It's true that a lot of things which Tate said were correct but still he did speak things which weren't supposed to be said and were demeaning towards female and if I remember correctly that was after he had converted. Like an example where he said that the reason Allah allowed men to have multiple wives is because a woman can have only one baby and it takes about 9 months for her. That means if I want 20 children then and you can't give me 20 children in a short duration of time , then it is a "you"( female) probelm. Now tell me isn't this him putting down women and Allah's creation? The process of a being a mother and carrying a child is very blessed in Islam yet he directly calls it a "problem". And also there are other examples too. So that's the reason why a lot of our women are against him since he isn't changing his views even after being a muslim and we muslim brothers don't address these issues. I personally am not a fan nor am I a hater of him. But as I said before being a muslim what he did doesn't matter to but now he needs to say those correct things according to Islam which he used to say while being a non muslim along with correcting the wrongs. And yeah I understand it's not possible to change all of his views so fast,but a simple solution to that is for him is to first confirm his controversial point from a muslim scholar before speaking it instead of continuing what he used to do before and just spewing stuff without knowing whether it's Islamic or not.

I have a problem with the fact that part of his income is derived from webcam girls. No matter what - a man whose income comes from pornography at some level he views women literally as a sub species to be exploited. My worry is that he will carry this attitude with him even after conversion to Islam and he will continue to propogate this attitude and indirectly or directly influence muslim men to have this attitude towards women. He already has a slew of non-muslim youtubers converting to Islam. In one interview i watched he kept telling a non-muslim man to convert because he could marry a virgin bride and he kept emphasing how muslim women were expected to be virgins until marriage etc. No mention of how muslim men must also practice celibacy until marriage - i got the impression he implied men dont need to be refrain from pre marital sex. So its scary how he is pulling people towards islam but in the wrong way. And this pushes non-muslim women away from Islam because Tate seems to selling the concept that women are mere sex objects and baby producers in Islam.😔

By your definition, our Prophet SAW would be considered a simp. I would highly recommend you re-evaluate your opinion because it is not islamic. The Prophet SAW had many hadiths about treatment of women and you can go as far as to say he was the antithesis of someone like Tate. Prophet SAW was kind and gentle and conveyed many hadiths about the superiority of such character in the eyes of Allah swt. Someone who is brash and harsh and hurts people physically or with their words is detestable in Allah swt's eyes. You and other brothers really have a lot to learn.

You didn't like YQ's quranic verses and seerah he shared? The ones he shared were very thought provoking and motivating about what it meant to be masculine. For a muslim I thought they'd hit home? Or did you simply not like his take on the individual he was talking about?

​@@winnipegmuslim1689 I didn't like his take on the individual in question(IIQ). I think that part was poorly researched and explained. Otherwise the IIQ and YQ are saying 95% of the same thing.

@@DhulqarTen He didn't want to mention his name because he's conscious of backbiting.

@@DhulqarTen Again, that's not his jam. He doesn't call other muslims out dude. I know there's a subset of people who love the back and forth and the slanders and the "refutations" but that's not what YQ does man.

@@hannanzubair9633 Omg, Andrew Tate, such an important man in history! A deeply knowledgeable and busy man like Shaykh YQ should spend hours on knowing everything about him! Fanboys of AT are really damn embarrassing. It's gross.

This is because there is actually no clear, fleshed-out conception of feminity (that I know of) in the Sunnah and Qur'an that goes really in-depth in how a woman should be. It is kind of silly to expect women to fit perfectly into a specific prototype and for that reason I believe our religion is wise.

@@AA-mg3xr there are many authentic hadith specifying to wifes respect to her husband. I would argue Islam is the cure for todays toxic feminists who expects all her rights but his rights are near impossible to extract from her

Women will not give you the light of day if they don’t feel safe around you because they are physically weaker. Treat women well and they will put their guards down

Can you imagine Prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him) educating the ummah in such a manner and with such words that yiu said? 🤯 This is why our Prophet is best role model. Not Andrew Tate. I feel embarrased when I see our muslim male youth aping Tate. We already the best role model but due to ignorance the muslims are looking for others may even lead them astray in the long run.

@@lilyrosesoul0077 How did I say anything bad? Btw, I am not a fanboy of Andrew Tate.

@@lilyrosesoul0077 What if I said: ladies act as such only towards a gentleman, not a man. All gentlemen are men, but not all men are gentlemen. This statement sounds fair and and I agree with it. It does not mean I am a feminist. Similarly, if I said: ''Gentlemen act as such only towards a lady, not a woman. All ladies are women, but not all women are ladies'', it does not mean I am an Andrew Tate fan or a red-piller. Please be sensible. Thank you.

@@savesheikhjarrah1480 You did not understand my point. That is a completely different discussion.

Can you elaborate on which rights you are talking about now?

Please don't mention his name

You can talk about polygyny all you want, but according to YQ's explanation, can you handle the responsibility, which is beyond financial? Do you have the emotional intelligence to handle being married to up to 4 women? Do you have to ability to maintain fairness both financially and in treatment? That takes an emotional maturity a lot of men don't have, quite frankly. Is it about satisfying your ego or satisfying Allah SWT? There is a reason women are skeptical of men that talk about polygyny all the time. Because everyone involved is going to know very quickly and it may end being a blessing or a nightmare for all involved. All I see are men trying to cut corners and say that equality in treatment is not really required, etc. etc. etc.

Taqwa is totally missing from these convos, but some men still scream for this right, that if done wrongly, will ruin people's lives and also put you in a not-so-good place with Allah. Fear Allah!

@@deedeee6271 If your talking about me then absolutely not, I can only handle one wife. That’s the same for the majority of men (99%). But say someone did want more and was able to maintain fairness and justice like you said then islam allows it.

@@ads1340 If you posit not you and 99% of men, then why talk about it so much? Don't we have other priorities on our plate as a Ummah? I would say yes.

@@ads1340 If they can handle the requirements, I haven't a problem with it. No Muslim should. it's the men who mess it up and cause chaos in communities where we have to call it out and examine exactly why.

But the video will reach the youth inshaALLAH. Let us share it

I agree with old men, their is wisdom there. The women are sitting in the women area. Forever wearing my burka

Masallah I love it Alhamdulillah ♡well done 👏 thanks

You're joking right... right?

Women are sitting in the women's area, which is quite normal in any religious place of worship. Alhamdulilah. We don't need to be filmed.

You didn't like YQ's quranic verses and seerah he shared? The ones he shared were very thought provoking and motivating about what it meant to be masculine. Or did you simply not like his take on the individual he was talking about?

@@winnipegmuslim1689 of course I loved the Quranic verses but 'narrative' is different from the verses and Seerah itself. 'Narrative' is the interpretation. Maybe learn the difference before simpjumping for a passive defender of the advocates of feminism, liberalism, L G B T Q and all other satanic left leaning persuasions.

@@abudujana7226 You sounds like someone with bad akhlaq. I don't interact with people like that. Good day.

@@DhulqarTen lol. Allah swt gives us numerous examples of majority/sheep mentality. Don't ever think it indicates any kind of truth or being on the right path. Especially as a Muslim or you will be doomed.

@@DhulqarTen This wasn't the topic of today. Ask him and In Sha Allah he will talk about it. Andrew Tate's conversion cause people to have different opinions. Some ignored every negative things he had done and declared the majority of his content good while others denied every good thing about him. So this issue was more urgent. It's like some people are just looking for excuses to speak against anyone who's not a hardcore Salafi.

agree. most imam just complying with the social norm and not talking about right of man to sisters.

Just watch a lecture of the shaykh about feminism. It's not the first time he has talked about it. Please stop the push to unnecessary fitna

Either you are not married or had been married. A married man does not talk like this.

So, essentially get married first if you are ready to take the responsibility and then talk. If not, keep quiet.

@@zakariab9591 what was it called? JAK

He did put down women. Men owning women, cheating is okay are some of the examples. It's not just that what he says puts down women, It's also how he addresses those issues. I felt that's enough evidence for me. It's okay to disagree with me though.

You are wrong for this because everything he said and did (EVIL) is still out there and influencing people to haraam. He has a huge social responsibility to renounce or remove all of that garbage or he will continue to influence people retro-actively.

@@AA-mg3xr 1) Majority of his content was not bad at the first place. 2) Most of his social media is not there. 3) We have 1000s of people accepting Islam. They are not asked to denounce what ever unislamic they said in past. Just because feminist don’t like him you cannot put extra conditions on him. What kind of hypocrisy is this? 4) When others convert you say take it slow. Where is this taking slow for Andrew Tate? There is no baggage of past sins for other people when they converted. But for Andrew Tate there is (according to feminist). 5) And how you think he will delete posts from already banned accounts?

Allow me to educate you about him. Not all of his contents are bad but the majority is. Here's what he does. He says some crazy things, drops sprinkles of truths in there and adds sexist remarks. The crazy things catch people's attention and the sprinkles of truth make them think that everything he says is correct. You're a prime example. Yes, he speaks against feminism and lgbt. But he does offer a rather hedonistic ideal fueled by desires of the worldly life. Nobody is putting extra conditions on him. His influence was mostly bad. Yes, he does portray some of the traditional masculinity our generation is lacking. But to accept most of his ideals as "correct"? That only shows how we have failed to educate our young ones about masculinity. His idea of masculinity, marriage, women is wrong. I'm not talking about the times he speaks against woke culture or the western views, I'm saying that his views in general are bad. Saying that men own women, cheating is okay, a father need not be around his children are just some of it. Since nobody is being able to say what he says and the fact that he praises Islam is making Muslims ignore most of what negative he said. Many of his views are wrong while some are correct. That doesn’t mean we put him on a pedestal and pretend he was completely in line with Islam even before his conversion. He's obviously welcome and nobody is saying he has more conditions to follow. Many are simply concerned about thr fact that many of his views aren’t exactly islamic. You’d expect the red pillers who are high on the reddest of red pills to have some of the negative views he has. Hence, the concern.

@@RIPer-rg2cz You are saying the same things which left says when they are misrepresenting him. You can watch Muhammad Hijab and Andrew Tate video on RU-vid. And even if he said what you say he said, after accepting Islam all previous sins are forgiven. Why are so many people questioning his past when Allah won’t probably question his past? Nobody is putting him on pedestal. Why is it so difficult to understand that because of shahada his sins are zero. He might have some old beliefs even now, he will hopefully learn. And in future if we does something wrong then we will criticise. (But you won’t know cause he is banned everywhere except twitter)

@@humamaltamash4345 Name one misrepresentation by me. You can't. He promoted (I would not be surprised if he still does) hedonistic goals, he puts down women by promoting cheating and sleeping around and says crazy things about pretty much everything, including women. You don't need to be a leftist to understand that many his views are as wrong as they could be. And you did not read my comment, did you? I never denied the fact that his conversion is sincere. Nor did I deny that all his previous sins are forgiven. His views are still out there and those videos are promoting haram things. Nobody is putting extra conditions on him. This is going over your head it seems. His views are far from good but just because he speaks against the left and what "culture" this leftism created, many Muslims see him in a good light. And just because he speaks good of Islam, the Muslims lose their minds over him. Yes, some of his views are good and in line with Islam but the majority of his views are far from it. But many Muslims such as yourself take the sprinkle of truth he says and then applies it to the majority of his content calling it "good". Let me clear things up for you one last time. Nobody is denying his conversion of the fact that his sins are forgiven. People are simply concerned about his views because there are still many videos where his views are still being promoted. What makes you think the majority of his content is good? Have you taken your time actually doing your research or have you just decided to be like the ones that are supporting him regardless and putting his negative impact on the side just because he's being criticized by the extremist lefts? Take your time, do your research and you will find that his content that people are concerned about are basically him saying crazy things, promoting hedonism, telling people that they need to cheat and sleep around, putting down women, saying crazy things in an unironic way all the while sprinkling some truths here and there. Those sprinkles of truths are what he says against the left and says things that are in line with Islam. Just because he says a positive impact does not change that he has a bigger negative impact on the Muslim youth because they have nobody that's speaking against the left in such a strong manner. They will draw many of their ideals from him and will draw the negative things as well. The fact that his past videos are still out there and influencing people is what the concern is about but some people completely deny the fact that he used to have a negative impact and still his videos are having a negative impact on the Muslim youths. Whenever confronted, these people get defensive saying that we're either denying his conversion or we are simply ignoring that his past sins are forgiven. We are not doing that. We're simply concerned about his past videos still going around influencing others. I hope that he changes his views that are misogynistic and are against Islam. Regardless of what you say, his past videos and opinions were heaven for misogynists. That is all the concern we have. If you think that we're being influenced by the left then my friend, you are as blind as people can get. Have a good day.

It's funny that you are telling the shaykh what to do and what to say while you lack a huge amount of adab. First they are not the same, he is right in both cases and both cases are not the same. You can't compare a politician with an internet celebrity and expect the shaykh to talk the same way for both cases. Another point: you are not walking in the shoes of the shaykh. If you truly know him, you would know he doesn't care of being controversial as long as it means speaking the truth. So please brother, don't smear the shaykh. He is very well aware of it and wiser and more knowledgeable than we are. Have some respect for our ulama. The world isn't as black and white as you youth would want it to be. جزاك الله خيرا

@Zakaria B Jzk brother, well said. However, i think sheikh yasir qadhi might have mistaken like the other feminists by watching the short clips taken out of context posted on tiktok. In the long form almost 100% of the things he says about feminity and masculinity is so close to islam. What did he do that is so extreme and so dangerous to the muslim youth? The overall idea is so close to islam really… so close. But no one had to courage to say all of these things before him. Would love to hear back from you brother. Jzk

I love brother Adrew Tate for the sake of Allah as a woman too. I wish good for him. But loving an online personality cannot come above the Deen. Don’t let your love for Andrew Tate lead you to slander our scholars, as they are closer to Allah than you and me.

@@zakariab9591 The problem with Yasir is that he is of weak resolve. I've noticed this. He always likes to clarify himself and make lengthy statements before he actually tackles the topic.

@@dhuss14 because he has been quote mined

That's Shaikh Yasir to you

Think of it this way. He has a big crowd of people who listen to him. And you can't control who watches you and who doesn't. When you are speaking about Islam publicly you have to be very wise. Especially if you are a known scholar like Sheikh Yasir (May Allah Preserve him). A lot of times your audience can be very ignorant about Islam and so one not so wise, or one emotionally driven word could have a big impact upon somebody's eman.
