Equality does not mean Identical acts
🙌🏻
Equality in western countries often means assimilation for minorities.
thank you may Allah reward you amine
Exactly
Should I say that there's a difference between justice and equality..?
The interviewer is trying to support women's rights by passive aggressively pressing a woman like that?
Hahahaha
That's normal for UK media across all platforms, if you're not prepared then that's your fault for going on them.
@@hopsie9983 I'm sorry for my irresponsible observation
@@mokhosh it's part of UK culture in general to ask critical questions, to probe and investigate, to even ask controversial questions to get a interesting conversation or debate going. Growing up in the UK we accept this as the norm, CZcams viewers from abroad seem to get triggered by this, perhaps it's not normal in your media culture to be passive aggressive.
@@hopsie9983 then it happens to be the same to the people who missunderstanding islam, and use as a weapon against islam
The answer could have been straightforward and to the point "If it's a females-only prayer space, there would a be female Imam. If it's mixed with separate female prayers spaces as most mosques tend to be, then there will be a male Imam but there will be female leaders/teachers for various women's committees. Women are not allowed to lead men in prayers in Islam." That's it. Where the confusion here? That's just the rule of the religion. If the journalist is truly invested in having a fruitful discussion, then a broad discussion around women's role in chaplaincy can follow. The constant question dodging is what gets to me. We should also be prepared to answer such questions when in a media-facing role.
That would also probably cause a controversy. She might have wanted to maintain a peaceful image and gain the favour of the public, since she’s in front of a huge audience who’s majority might not agree with Islam. I think it was best to dodge the question. And whoever is truly interested in its answer, can definitely receive one from a scholar who feels more freedom in expressing his/her opinion, instead of someone who’s being purposefully cornered and pressured live on air.
I guess I must agree that Zara handled the interview well by dodging the unimportant questions that not have any meaning in what she do as a leader of MCB
I think Zara knows where this kind of question is leading to.
I totally agree. Short answer would have been a Yes or a No. That would have ended the same question being asked over and over again. What the interviewer gains by whatever answer was given, I don't know.
Bang on the nail...
I was taught to read the Quran by multiple female teachers in school
Of course, me too :) its perfectly normal, I mean its not what by being an Imam. Oh I'm a boy btw
Is that the point of the debate?
Does that make this teacher... an Imam who leads prayer for both sex's...
@@matrix5062 Sadly, your itellect regarding this topic is quite sparse.
This what the Bible says: "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." "I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent." "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet." TIMOTHY CHAPTER 2 VERSE 12.
Unless you are an atheist or any other religion besides Christianity, you shouldn't be speaking right now. Not 1 prophet of GOD in the Bible was a man.
Atleast in Islamic tradition, women are allowed to teach all children, regardless of gender, on how to read the Holy Quran.
So, the next time you want to try and act like a genius, do some research, get your facts straight, and then, perhaps then, you should try again...
@@ZoofSkillzFishing Firstly, let's not stand on a peddistol and judge geniuses... if we can't spell...
I am no genius either... we are all learning are we not?
You are not even a spec of dust to tell me what I can, or cannot say... or what I know, or do not by guessing at it... just ask, about what you may have misunderstood for clarification... it's not hard my friend!
Yes, I believe in scripture, and understand perfectly the gender debait as outlined by it.
But perhaps, again you misunderstood the question asked by the interviewer... which was not aimed at children was it... is it you who is playing mind games to appear clever more than me?
It was about "leading men" as a female Imam... but you knew that... didn't you.
@@matrix5062 sorry I didn't catch the question, what was it?
As women we are comfortable and feel secured, we don’t have to take up everything a man is doing to validate us.
Good for you, Maşallah
What an answer, Mashaallah!
MashaAllah
Great answer mashallah
@Rajesh VengadesanThis is inappropriate and is not true.
No female imams because women don't have to do everything men do, how about celebrate our own standards instead of copying men
It's such a shameful mindset . If a woman is able to do a man's job, only then she is worthy of praise . Godforbid a woman celeberates being a Woman .

Oh she knew what exactly shes doing.
@@AlphaRed01 yep, she do know, and thats make its worst.
What is so sad here, is not that most know why she is asking... it is the fact they lie about the truth, or at least... avoid the correct answer as if the creators word Is shamfull...?
The answer is clear... weather she knew it, or not... she was asking for those who may not... which is the whole point of any Interview... if only believer's here spent less time in damage control as to actually speaking the truth regarding the word of Islam.. it would be more interest..
@@matrix5062 I think they avoid answering it is because they know it gonna spark more controversies. It gonna be used by medias to spread bad rep for muslims. The creator word is never shameful, but people who don't understand it would jump to conclusion leading to more deflamation.
@@armandomukti the interviewer seem to come with only one question prepared, just for the sake of controversy. These are the same people who undercover with false mouth voice women independence/rights in Islam whereas if a woman chooses to cover herself, then they berate her as old fashioned or slave or go ahead in parliaments to ask for a ban on viel for women.
Interviewer: Do you have women imam?
Myself : Yes we do have women imam to lead prayer among women.
Interviewer: why women cannot lead man in the prayer?
Myself: I'm never see any women right organisation asking for open MMA match between man and women if that equality you talking about.
Very poor Strawman reasoning, it was clear what the thread of the question was... The answer was... No... If I am not incorrect, as that is not possable in Islam....
This happens when an ignorant goose who knows nothing about Islam attempts to appear smart.
It's the same for Church of Christ and I've never heard a christian asked this questions
@@inertboi What? The answer was "No.... There are no woman imams in islam", end of...But that was far to difficult to grasp for 'islamic Goose's' perhaps ..!
I would suggest, 99.99% of 'none Islamic' peaple would have understood the correct context of the question perfectly...
"Are there women taking the lead with men present as Imams"... Simple really!
@@matrix5062 I wasn't replying to you, relax. What I wrote was my comment on the interviewer in this video.
Imams are not the same as Rabbis and Priests. Imams r simply figures who lead the prayers of the mosque. For example you can see children leading the prayers in Ramadan, quite a common scenario. It doesn’t mean Imam is someone who is authoritative or very knowledgeable, whereas Rabbis and Priests study for a long time to become what they are.
This “interview” was nothing short of a harassment. The interviewer herself lacks the knowledge what “Imam” even means.
It's a trap question. Why? So She want to portray Islam is bad to woman.
Spot On!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
bolobolo bolo sir..nobody is encouraged to have more than one spouse, it’s an option when a man meets all of the qualifications to provide for the wives equally and each wife agrees. if you don’t agree with this then that’s fine, but stop trying to use that as an argument against islam when you aren’t well informed on this topic
bolobolo bolo but you literally said “islam encourages men..”? no it’s not a problem that women cant have more than one spouse because these aren’t love marriages, and in fact any man that has more than one spouse due to “love” or lust is sinning. the role of men in islam is to provide for the family, a man might take in another woman to provide for her and her children if she has any. but this is if and only if he has enough money to provide for the entire family, and meets many other qualifications. a woman doesn’t marry more than one spouse because we’re not obligated to provide for men or their children.
polygamy is forbidden when the reason is romantic “love” or lust.
also women can lead other women and children in prayer but if it’s a mix of adult men and women then men lead, i’m not gonna make an excuse for that
bolobolo bolo you read my comment wrong, both men and women are forbidden to marry more than one person at a time due to romantic love or lust.
no that is not always the case, but i’m just saying the role of men in islam. if the man is present then he is obligated to provide for the family.
i’m saying that is the only reason islam allows polygamy, but i’m not naive enough to think that some men won’t take advantage of this for their own benefit. again, i’m just talking about islam
no i never said that men are more capable of love..?
Next time bbc questions to a doctor like : why only women gives birth......... while its a contribution of both ......its totally anti feminism 😁
soo true if they continue with this logic, it will end up with asking and revolting by saying "why only women gave birth and why men not, it is unfair bla bla bla...." 😂
Brother MashaAllah its a good answer
You got nice point for this....
Zakir Naik be like: "Sister asked a very good question."
@Ma Khi
Prayer have a set of rules one of it being that the leader of jamaa prayer should be a man but a woman can lead other women in prayer
There is a difference between equity and equality people!😊
Ok then what’s the difference
@@sorguvasfen2426 equity is getting something based on how much you have, but equality is getting the same as someone else. Pretend a baby, a 40 year old man, and 80 year old woman get the same type of medicine, that’s equality, but if they get different medicine based on how old they are, that’s equity because it decides how much you need based on YOU and not anyone else.

@@shareef_3659 they not wrong tho
This is so true
Zero comparison. Anatomy and faith aren't comparable. Why aren't there woman Imams? Do they exist? What if a woman doesn't feel comfortable with a man in certain conversations? Does this lead to bias in relationship counseling? I really want to know. I am curious of the faith now.
@@lynyngragfunkyfoot3765 Imam is not equivalent to pastor or rabbi. There many female scholars who women go to for issues. Imam doesnt mean scholar, the word for that is Shiekh or Alim.
In islam woman do not lead prayers in mosques instead they produce and teach those men who go on to lead prayers, lead countries etc... in other words our women have a much greater role than leading prayers. Quran is the only religion book that praise women through out the book in fact in the Quran there is a whole Surah named WOMEN and another named after one of the four greatest women ever walked on this planet. MARRY peace and prayers be upon her
Why are women so obsessed with everything woman, woman rights, woman woman wahhhhmmmmuuunnn... Like seriously, when we talk about Islam we shift our focus to Allah SWT and His Prophet pbuh, we shift our focus to justice and fairness. We focus on the fact that Islam is the Truth from Allah SWT.

Exactly
@@elyrexo she didn't evade the answer since she clearly answered she didn't know the exact number and at 0:50, the interviewer said "That's fine if you don't know", but I don't understand why she kept asking the same question over and over again
That smirk on Zara's face when she asked that question is something I guess every muslim ( in context to this video subject)can associate with. We're asked these types of questions and that too in a hostile manner so many times that we've become used to it. So everytime a question like this comes, that smirk comes unconsciously , internal thought , ' here we go again'.
@Nick Bointon oh.. Like you do? 😂 It's easy to disconnect from belief system and live life of a nihilist, it's difficult to stand by your belief system and give answers to people you're not obligated to. Ignorance is not bliss. And by the way, giving this defensive hypothesis a good look, there has to be some group of people attacking for others to be defensive. Live and let live.
@Nick Bointon must have been hard for you to pull out stats from Google. How about you also give a search on Muslim women in science and give your biased mind some fresh air. The same Google also credits a muslim women behind world's first university.
And yes! ALLAH SWT has been provided me with atleast enough wisdom. I'll pray that you might as well be provided a rational mind and some patience.
God bless you.
Great... Now apparently, we need to be doing EVERYTHING a man does, in order to be of value.
Something I have always found deeply disturbing by this "for men and women to be equal, they need to be able to do the same things."
One of my friends worked in an overseas posting for a while. Several of her female colleagues were assaulted while out jogging on their days off. When she and the other women asked to be allowed to carry pepper spray, their workplaces Women's Feminist Club thing vehemently objected because "women are the same as men and they don't need an additional weapon to fight off a man." It was insane.
Not only does this kind of ideology devalue the incredible abilities unique to women, it also actively puts us at risk in numerous ways.
She should have answered with " I am sorry honey we do not change God guides and rules to fit your narrative. If God says man lead the prayer than they are and full stop"
well said..bro..
I don't agree with this mindset. It's never "God says do this therefore we do it", it is advised that you should always search for why and how before practicing anything.

The crazy thing is... I am not against them, I agree the scriptures are clear on the roles played by Men and Women... And they still argue the toss...must be the culture ! Lol.
If a man can be imam among both men & women,a women should also be allowed to do so.
Dr. Zakir Naik can definitely precise and clear answer about this question
dude... he has vast knowledge and memory to boost...
A woman can be a amam only if women pray behind her. Because when we pray we have to kneel and bow down and by doing that we make such poses which may divert the attention of men praying behind women. That's why neither women are allowed to pray infront of men nor they can pray together as there is a physical contact of shoulder to shoulderwhen we pray together. But women can pray having a partition from men or pray behind men.

I'm assuming that Dr. Zakir Naik will never give that kind of answer. That's annoyance me many times.

May The Almighty grant us wisdom and guide us to the straight path.

@@corielake828
The presenter wasn't showing any respect to our Zara Mohammed, I feel that if she were to be rude it'd be completely reasonable. Journalism should educate themselves about Islam before presuming roles as a female equivalent.
Lady, imam doesn’t equal pope or rabbi, imam is someone who leads in congregation prayer, anyone who knows how to pray can be an imam. In majority Muslim countries (specifically Pakistan) I have been to prayers where women lead 400 women and kids in prayer and that was just the mosque near my house. Can't believe they'll nit-pick everything just to feel better about themselves. Absolute cringe.
Edit: bc people were confused in the comments
They leaded 400 woman in prayer I guess?
Which muslim country have you seen female imams?? A Musimah cannot lead men in prayer. And even if it was allowed I wouldn't definitely opt for my daughter to stick her bottom up into the faces of men standing behind her while bowing down and prostrating. It goes against modesty and maybe one reason why its not allowed in Islam.
@@mtaqi7240 lol but it's okay for men to stick their bottom into the faces of women? thought modesty was meant for both men and women
@@toobad9295 Please keep in mind that modesty implies differently for both men and women in Islam. For example: Women are required to cover their entire body while men to only cover from navel to knees. Modesty of eyes is though the same.
Also men tend to fall into lust and get sexually aroused lot more easily than women and we do observe that in our daily lives.
And you didn't get my point: I did not say if it's okay or not for those behind the Imam..I said 'I' would not want me or my daughter to be in a situation where I have to do such bodily maneuvers standing in front of a multitude of strange men. And I think most muslim women feel the same way.
@@mtaqi7240 no, men's awrah is from their navel to their knees which means their behind should be just as covered and unseen as with women
women get aroused too but women are always taught to control it and hide it whereas with men the blame is always put on women
and how can you even think of people's behind when you're praying? men are supposed to lower their gaze yet again men's responsibility is put on the women
Love the ad ❤
Masha Allah, sister nayla and Zara, may Allah bless u both n all muslim ummah
Aameen 🤲
Who do you think lead muslim women in prayers?
Actually WOMEN, thank you.
Not true. You go to the mosque it is a male imam. This is normal. Women should not raise their voice.
@@soniiabaybee a male imam is when they are males or if they are men and women .
Maybe one of the reasons is that Islam protects women from the gazes of men .
But if they are women , a woman lead, and there is no need to raise her voice. That’s very normal.
bolobolo bolo you have to remember that there’s a difference between men and women, bending over is a sexual position for women, it’s usually not sexual for men unless they like ‘pegging’
bolobolo bolo no of course not, women can definitely rape men and i didn’t mean to invalidate men who were raped. but i’m not talking about rape at all, it’s just what’s commonly attractive to the other gender. for example a straight female may think men with veins are attractive because it seems “masculine”, while a straight male may not like veins on a female because it doesn’t seem “feminine”. there’s just a difference in what we may find attractive
bolobolo bolo i tried to reply to this comment twice but i both look like they were deleted, do you see this?
How many? Every woman who has a daughter most likely is an imam in the house. When the men of the house went to the mosque for jamaah pray the women do it at home and one of them will perform as imam
Thiiis
I'm searching for thiiss
My mom, me, and my younger sister take turns to become imam when my dad wasn't at home.
And when Travelling, I and my friends also take turn to become imam.
That makes every woman can become an imam towards other women
@@SharmaJi-fo8ke Technically anyone can be imam. It's not something that officially appointed.
@@SharmaJi-fo8ke How many muslim women out there?

Beautifully handled by Zara. May Allah guide her to represent the beautiful side of Islam in interviews like this, so crazy how she didn’t get mad even! May Allah guide the interviewer to do her own research and realize her own preconceived notions. Ameen
Nothing was wrong about that question and answer was just simple though
Let me give everyone an example of stupidity of the Islamophobes...
My name is mohammad.
Journalist:Are you sure? Did your parents asked for your permission while giving your name?
Me: I am sorry?
Journalist: You see,you are being discriminated.You are being a slave under religion and tradition pressure.Your rights are being violated.They chose your name without your consent.
Me:Hold on wait a min.What the hell?
Journalist:What your name?
Me: told you,its mohammad.
Journalist: No,your real name.One you named yourself.
Me:I didn't name myself anything.Its simply mohammad.
journalist: Sorry sir,looks like you are not trying to cooperate with us.You muslim don't even trust anyone.Believe it that islam is evil.
Me:Auzubillahi minash shaitan er razeem!!

wow what a difficult situation ...
The actual problem was that Reporter asking question taught that Imam is the Islamic version of a Priest or Rabbi which IS NOT
Just a comment -- the Hui Muslim minority in China does have female imams, and has for centuries. They lead services in separate women's mosques. There are certain ceremonies they cannot preside over (weddings and funerals, I think, although I'm not an expert), but they're a very important part of the community.
Female can be imam for female members. Its not wrong
@Akbar Al-Riyadhi
Neither are you an expert!
Women can be imams in women prayers!
alhamduliallah, I'm glad our sisters are standing up for themselves and clarifying that it has nothing to do with oppression. We can see that their understanding of feminism didn't work out in the west, and led in part to the downfall of their society
The interviewer really doesn't understand the term of imam. Imam is a person who LEADING. Of course woman can be imam for other woman. But if men are there, we will lead the prayer. Same goes to a family. The man will lead his family because he hold many responsibilities to his family but that doesn't mean woman doesn't have right or turn down in Islam. Woman have same right with man but slightly in different terms. Prophet Muhammad was asked by his companion who he should pay his respect to. The prophet said 3 times for mother then after that the fourth time is the father. Anyone who disobey his mother will not be accept into the heaven. There are term " heaven is under the mother's feet". This is how high Islam put woman status in Islam.
My mum was a Muslim Imaam, she thought the whole areas kids how to read the Quran and pray namaaz properly
Mashallha
Mashallah
SubhanAllah
MashaAllah, her good deeds and blessings will be carried on.
But that is not an Imaam, she is what we would call an 'aalimah'
She can be an imam or aalimah only amongst women n children. If there is a Muslim man, the man stands to be the Imam. Or a young knowledgeable man as young as 15 years old ( baligh ) who attends religious school or tahfiz and learns / studies the Religion of Islam .
WAllahu aalaam.. Allah knows best.
In my opinion, you don't have to be too nice to a passive aggressive person. Just answer them directly. She should have just said" With all due respect I know what you're doing and where you're going with this and I'm not in the mood to debate that right now. Let me enjoy my moment in peace"

I’m so proud of Ms. Zara,
She did great
May Allah bless her, & all the women are working to represent Islam
So much love for her
No wonder she was employed by BBC, her father seems to have involved in some creepy 😳 business involving women that's why she is so concerned about woman imams.
I'm here after reading an article in the Guardian. The Guardian mentioned the interview was 'strikingly hostile' but maybe I'm missing something here?
The first question was 'How many female Imam's are there in Britain?' and the response was that she didn't have the numbers... Suggesting she knew of some.
The second question was 'but do we have them?' is not the same as the first and could have been answered with a yes or no, or even a 'I don't know'.
I don't see how you can have a problem with a journalist asking a question to establish if we have female Imam's in Britain and if we do, how many there are?
I guess the implication is that the presenter wanted a nice juicy reply of either 'no there aren't any' or 'not many' so she could go into the "feminist" side of the debate but she's Zara Mohammed is the first female leader of the Muslim Council of Britain and it's an interview on Woman's Hour.
Just give a straight answer and then if it starts to go into an area of debate you don't want to discuss then say 'sorry, I'm not prepared or willing to discuss that in this interview' but establishing if there are female Imam's and how many there are in Britain doesn't seem a controversial question to me.
Because you don't seem to understand the intention. No there are no women imams and the journalist knows that very well. Which is why she asked. So its pointless responding to someone like her. I personally I would have said that's not the point if the interview because we are not here ro discuss or judge my religion or our rituals and I am not interested in to having thatkind of discussion with someone like *you*. She would have shut up for good.
If she asked what do you mean with someone like me?
I would have said someone who doesn't adhere to this religion beliefs and is only trying to create some controversy and make of an issue that does ot exist.
She was too nice with that journalist to be honest. She deserved to shut up.
I'm from Malaysia..Only in the Quran and Islam are we all shown the ways of truth and it becomes the most important thing in our lives to go to heaven..Amin
Female imams you can't imagine this sentence in Arabic even if you tried, actually no Arabic word for it I laughed so hard.

And they wonder why our people are so scared to give interviews to them.
Scared of being exposed or being made to look bad? Maybe, just maybe, the issue is that religious people are too sensitive and protective about their faith.
@@sorguvasfen2426 so are atheists ;) just look into reddit, you will see bunch of spoiled brats who think they are smarter than everyone because they dont believe in god.
Here's a counter question :
"How many brain cells are in your head right now? Zero?"
Let's not appease what the sister did by virtue of being a sister. She failed to answer a question that is so incredibly straightforward to answer. If we are going to place sisters in such positions, let's at the very least be sincere enough to not simply be proud of the tokenism of it but be confident knowing that sister has the substance of being strong and proud to say exactly what Allah has ordained without feeling the need to cow down to please the non-muslim journalist. The journalist wasn't bullying her. Whether we like it or not, that's her job to push and prod for answers and the one being questioned must come prepared to answer with firm conviction and honesty.
Yeah, the people of the book will never be satisfied with our answers. It's not our duty to cater to them but rather say the truth even if they dislike it.
Agreed.
Maybe if the journalist wasn't so hard on her she wouldn't have been so nervous to answer such a simple question. Instead of "do we have female imams?" why not "who leads prayer in the Muslim community?" or "what does Islam say about women leading prayer?" or just being gentle on her and yea??!
@Ma Khi I totally understand what you're saying. But she is the secretary general of the muslim council. She signed up for this. She should've given a straight forward answer instead of saying she doesn't know the numbers or stuff. Clearly a women being an imam is forbidden in our religion. Saying she handled it brilliantly doesn't really make sense. But hey it's her first time so let's cut her some slack 🤷
@@chy9361 It's not forbidden for women to be imams. There is only one situation in which a woman cannot be imam, and that is when there is an adult man. In that case the adult man is the imam.
1. Burnett says,"Of course, female priests have been around for some time,... also seen female rabbis in this country..."
Zara makes a blatant mistake here! She should have fought back, 'How many priests and rabbis, and why not equal in number as their male counterparts! Address that first, and you won't get past me saying 'Oh, at least... at least...!'
Don't say, 'at least'; if you're going to lecturing us, you better have a squeaky clean record on equality in the religious workplaces.
2. Never to forget, Jimmy Savile abused 1,000 victims ON BBC premises, during more than 40-years of lifetime, while the BBC execs looked the other way.
These abused children were British children, but he never went to jail for a single day.
Always check backgrounds of those who shriek 'Omg! Why do Muslims treat women that way!... which also means, 'Don't look this way'.
You got to fight back hard, and give a test of these haters' own salt. Don't waste time defending, know their background, come prepared and go on the offensive.
Its not always easy to fight back Zara tried her hardest. The journalist should have shut up and praised her to be the first Woman in her role.
lol .. um, no you dont get to demand perfection from us before we can ask if the muslim community is EVEN ATTEMPTING TO TRY WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED , MAYBE NOT PERFECTLY **YET** BUT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IT and maybe we have a ways to go before our numbers equal those of the male counterpart,,,, BUT ** WE ** HAVE ** ACCOMPLISHED IT ***
@@whoahorseywhoa4685 - Of course we do! After all, when one sticks a LED-halo on the back of the head, won't you live up to the angelhood you assume?
As I said, 'At least' strikes again.
"WE HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED", or was it accidental? Pretty bad accidents, like two world wars, when spouseless women had to trade their bodies for a loaf of bread! A 'mangled culture' formed by the ruins left by wars, suddenly is being called 'western', and achievement?
"MAYBE NOT PERFECTLY YET " - Rather, too far from it. Where are the women rabbis and priests, and why are they self-appointed... from Reformed this... Construction that..., without any approval from the central religious authorities? Years ago, Jewish women carrying the Torah (forbidden) were called 'pigs' by Orthodox Jews who thought it was sacrilegious.
So, come back when you've perfected yourself. And send better ones to lecture, not one whose father was a brothel runner, and a sex trafficker. May just be, that her concept of 'women's rights' is not too far from what her father's has been.

Beautiful answer
I'm really proud of you .your face is full of noor and iman and you are educated well and have more information about islam .
She should've just answered the question plainly.
In my opinion 100% Equality is never ever possible and should not be ever.
Equity is more important and just.
@Judgement Kazzy he or she means, true equality will never be achieved. Whatever we do to equalize, someone will always be mad and think this is not equal and yadda yadda
@Judgement Kazzy equity is usually better than equality. For example when it comes to men and women in the work force, why do we give women longer parental leaves? Equality would mean both men and women would receive the same leave, but because it is the woman that actually gives birth then it’s only fair that they receive a longer leave.
The beauty of our religion is why we women have the preveliges of been a queen at your own private spaces while you let the men lead outside and face world for us with our duas

ما شاء الله۔ very wisely handeld.
From my understanding, men and women in Islam has different roles and responsibilities. For any jumaah prayers, it is obligated for men to lead the prayer. But female is not obligated to do so. However, in a room that only occupies woman and no men seen these women can lead prayers to each other. So this is beautiful in Islam. Women doesnt have to compete with men in all areas. We understand our each roles. And these differences does not mean men are superior than woman. In Islam the Quran says that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. So that means women in Islam still get the same reward as men eventhough our roles are different.
Who said anything about competing? The problem is most have an issue with female imams. I'm sure if one wants to lead a prayers for everyone. It's simply not allowed.
She should have straight up said we don’t have women leading prayer because we respect women. We wouldn’t put her infront of all the men to check out her behind and listen to her beautiful voice. Like ya whether they like it or not. It is what it is. It’s not equality of the the two sexes in Islam it’s equity. And everything based on logic in this religion not based on none sense. Men can’t be mothers and women can’t be fathers the thing is a woman and a man are two different things. This doesn’t make them any less. Each one has an appointed leadership and position.
if that is the case.... why didn't she answer with that ?
@@johnyo5978 she should have been equally bold and assertive and just answered the question i agree with you. i wish there was a less polite and docile sister up there in all honesty. have to treat idiots how they treat you.
Are there female Imams? No. Does that make your religious culture sexist? Yes
و اطيعوا الله و رسوله
It is just that simple , our prophet Mohamed PBUH didn’t tell that a woman could lead a prayer including men , unless they are all women,even for the whole Islam history didn’t do so .
Nothing to shame on Islam و الحمد لله
Are they proposing a new religion for Muslims now!!!!
Thanks for the sister for replying such strange claims🙏
As a none Muslim, I am bewildered by the replies and attacks I get for agreeing with your correct statement which is the very basic foundational knowledge not only in Islam, but the jewish religion too, also it should be for Christian's.. all share the same foundations... and the command.. "Women must not lead a man".
For stating this, I am a phobic.. hater...far right... just for speaking this truth. Do they not know their own believes? Did Zara forget God's commandment... I think not!
Sorry but neither of the two sisters have answered the interviewer's question honestly. Here's an honest answer: Women can't lead men in prayer. Period.

@@johnyo5978 sigh.. okay. straight to the point. fyi, imam is an occupation. he should be available every day, 5 times a day. in islam, women cant do solah when they are on their period. as solah involves physical movements, it benefits women who are having period cramps as they cant move much. soooo back to the point, imam has to be available 5 times a day. every day. therefore it is not suitable for women to be an imam. also, women can get pregnant right? who is gonna lead the prayer if she is not able to do it?

My reply: salam brother and sister, these question you would least expect to not know about would still need a scholar, we muslim brother and sister lives in different parts of world and the knowledge in differ part of world are less than other or more than others, some do not have internet and some do, not only that lets say if someone ask you what is the purpose of Life, you would answer that this life is given except to Worship Allah (swt) and you would be right about but you have to explain why is Allah worthy of your worship, a scholar is capable of quoting from quran, hadith, historic evidence, scientific fact, miracles and etc, like scholar might say this life is northing but a test and you will be test with the loss of wealth, loss of health and los of loves one, and slowly connects the dot for them regarding how it leads to THE! Purpose. Even still scholar them self are student of knowledge, even scholar have limited knowledge, Even if the sister had known the answer of it, it is no one place to ask her the question because that was not the purpose of the topic!.

When Christians and Jews start eating pork although prohibited in their literatures, that does not mean Muslim should take a lead from that. Similarly, when Christians and Jews start having women leading their prayers, we Muslims don't have to follow that. Bear in mind that Islamic prayers and requirements are not merely traditions. They are Allah's instruction that we must follow. That is why Quran remains unaltered after so many years.

Don't say like this is a huge responsibility ,that's why you are happy that you don't have to do it . Women are also given other huge responsibilities that's in the term are equally important . Rather talk about the fact that it can't be done bcz , women have Menstruation for 7-10 days & so prayer would be stopped during that time. A lot more reasons are there.
