Assalamualaikum, guys, and welcome to another episode of Smile to Jannah! I missed you guys,
hope you missed me too. I'm coming with another banger yeah. You can find this on s2jnews.com.
It's just filled with amazing articles related to Muslims. And one such article, let me read the
heading to you: 'Research reveals traditional housewives experience greater happiness than
modern career women.' This was an NBER, and this was a study that was done from 1970 to 2005. Yeah,
and if we take this further in Mycelebrityfashion, they said that 78% of British women
said they don't mind being financially dependent on their partner. And if we couple this further,
there are other studies these as well. Here, you can see one study that says and shows how Western
women have been unhappy. They're more unhappy. And here's another study to suggest how much
antidepressants have increased. So the question that they get asked is, do women have more rights
now than they did back in the days? The answer is yes, so surely they should be more happy. That's
because look, rights are one thing. Yeah, agreed, people took advantage. Yeah, people took advantage
of men, of female, of, you know, we can do all of that business. No problem. Yeah, but the point
is that it is our creator that knows us better. That's the first and most important thing. You did
not come from nothing, and if you acknowledge that there is a creator, that all of this did not just
come about by chance, by itself, from nothing, then you know that he did not leave us be. Yeah,
he sent us an instruction manual. Just like you buy a product, if you start poking around
with the wrong buttons and you don't follow the instruction manual, you're going to destroy it.
You're actually not going to make the most of it. It's the same with human beings. We think we know,
we're ignoring the Creator, but we should be acknowledging the Creator, and he tells us there
is a male, there is a female. The men are to be protectors, the women have strengths. Look, men
and females in Islam, they are not competitive. They are not competing with each other. Rather,
they are complementary. Let me say that again: Men and women are not competing, rather they
are complementary. They both have strengths, and it's these strengths that they bring together,
and that's the beauty that relationship because it's strong and it's got the best of both.
Allah uses it to induce life into this world. But unfortunately and sadly, feminism has deluded us,
and these very women in feminism, yeah, they are retracting what they've said. For example,
second-wave feminism's mother, oh yes, Mother, yeah, Germaine Greer, yeah,
she was initially against childbearing, and she said "na it's not good", and you know all of that sort
of stuff that we know. But then after a while, even she expressed her regret, and she's not the
only one. There are so many women because look, between 20 and 30 is the peak time, yeah, for
them to get married and the likes, but after they start increasing, well, studies tell us after 35,
the chances of them successfully becoming pregnant is reduced. We know over 30 it becomes
more difficult, yeah, and there are many reasons psychologically why men prefer younger women,
and that's because naturally, younger women will have less experience, therefore less
trauma. Older women will have more experience, they'll come with more trauma, and again, it
puts strain on the relationship. In fact, we love celebrities, yeah. I hope most of you guys don't,
but for those people that do, you've got Scarlett Johansson, you've got Mila Kunis,
and Serena Williams. All three of them, in this S2J News article, you can see them admitting that
child-rearing and working, you just can't balance the two. It's not... it can't be done effectively.
And Islamic law came to preserve five things: life, intellect, religion,
family, wealth. There's a difference of opinion, some people add other things,
but family is one of them. And look, it's not that Islam is against careers because we need female
doctors and the likes. But the thing is, it's not something that is primarily the duty of the women.
Yeah, it's all fine and well and good you don't have kids, you can work. Even if you have kids,
you can do stuff from home. But careers that require you to go out,
that will give you masculine traits, that will cause a clash at home because a man
doesn't want to come home to another man, a woman doesn't want to come home to another woman. Yeah,
because she's coming home and naturally the man is going to be at home, yeah, and vice versa.
So, this is very important, guys. So, Allah, give us the ability to understand and protect us from
the virus of feminism that is seeping into every home. I've been to even the villages in Pakistan,
and I can see it being seeped in even over there as well, through the mobile phone, through dramas,
the Hum TV dramas or whatever it is. So, Allah, protect us and keep our homes together. It's very
important that we invest in our homes, in our relationships. It's not as simple as, 'Oh, she
needs to stay at home and she just does the work. He can go out, he can do whatever he wants.' No,
when she's at home, you need to make sure she has a good environment at home, meaning she has
hobbies, meaning there is good communication between the two. You're investing in your
relationship, you're investing in each other's hobbies, you're giving each other time as well,
and you're not just maxing your time on social media when you go home or when you're at home,
home just on the phone. The woman could be calling her friends, the man could be on Netflix,
whatever. No. And it's very important naturally to work on yourselves as well. Just like I said,
strengthening the relationship, also your body as well. Yes, staying fit and healthy,
that your partner doesn't have to look around at other options. Mate,
you are the only option for them. Yeah, make that so. May Allah protect us and bless us further.
It's becoming more and more rough, but we are not losing hope, mate. Yeah,
we're not losing hope. Let's stay steadfast and let's help the others that aren't steadfast.
Keep your circles strong. Let's leave it there till next time Asalaamu Alaikum
