1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 The story of women's suffering in the time of Moses, peace be upon him 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:18,600 Pharaoh's torture of women in the time of Moses, peace be upon him 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:25,600 God mentioned to us the story of Pharaoh’s torture of the women of the Children of Israel in five questions from the Qur’an 4 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:34,820 In Surat Al-Baqarah, Surat Al-A'raf, Surat Ibrahim, Surat Al-Qasas, and Surat Ghafir 5 00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:36,979 God Almighty said 6 00:00:36,979 --> 00:01:01,340 And when We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who were inflicting on you a terrible torment, slaughtering your sons and sparing your women, and in that was a great trial from your Lord. 7 00:01:01,340 --> 00:01:04,069 And the Almighty said 8 00:01:04,069 --> 00:01:29,140 And when We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who were inflicting on you a terrible torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and in that was a great trial from your Lord. 9 00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:31,969 And God Almighty said 10 00:01:31,969 --> 00:01:40,450 And when Moses said to his people, “Remember the blessings of God upon you.” 11 00:01:40,450 --> 00:02:06,599 When He saved you from the people of Pharaoh, who subjected you to terrible torment, and slaughtered your sons, and spared your women, and in that was a great trial from your Lord. 12 00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:09,939 And God Almighty said 13 00:02:09,939 --> 00:02:39,840 Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into sects. He weakened a group of them, slaughtered their sons and let their women live. Indeed, he was one of the corruptors. 14 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,930 And the Almighty said 15 00:02:43,930 --> 00:03:06,280 When he brought them the truth from Us, they said: They killed the sons of those who believed with him and spared their women. And the plot of the unbelievers is nothing but error. 16 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240 Meaning of bad torment 17 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,240 That is, Pharaoh tortured the women of the son of Israel with different types of torture 18 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,240 Including the first type 19 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,240 Keeping them alive to humiliate them 20 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,240 Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said 21 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:31,240 As for the interpretation of his saying, “The torment is bad,” it means that the torment is bad for them 22 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,240 Some of them said the most severe punishment 23 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,240 If that were the meaning, it would be said that the worst torment 24 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:48,340 If someone says to us, “What is that torment that they were inflicted on, that was afflicting them?” 25 00:03:48,340 --> 00:03:53,340 It was said that it is what God Almighty described in His Book. He said 26 00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:58,340 They slaughter your sons and spare your women 27 00:03:58,340 --> 00:04:01,620 Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, said 28 00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:05,620 This slaughter and shame is the worst torment 29 00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:09,620 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 30 00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:14,620 Since salvation can only be from injustice or evil 31 00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:19,620 He explained what he saved them from by saying, “They will inflict upon you a terrible torment.” 32 00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:25,620 That they may impose upon you and seek upon you something that will distress you and humiliate you in torment 33 00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:28,620 Then he explained that by saying: 34 00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:32,620 They slaughter your sons and spare your women 35 00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:35,620 That is, they kill the males of your offspring 36 00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:38,620 They keep their females alive 37 00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:40,620 To weaken and humiliate you 38 00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:44,620 Leading to the cutting off of your lineage and your extermination 39 00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:48,620 And in that is a great trial from your Lord 40 00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:50,620 Yes, and that includes torment 41 00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:52,620 And in salvation from it 42 00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:57,620 In each of them is a great trial and test for you from your Lord 43 00:04:57,620 --> 00:04:59,620 As he said in another verse 44 00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:05,620 We tested them with good deeds and evil deeds so that they might return 45 00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:08,819 Al-Tahir bin Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said 46 00:05:08,819 --> 00:05:11,819 And shyness is an effect 47 00:05:11,819 --> 00:05:13,819 Indicates demand for life 48 00:05:13,819 --> 00:05:18,819 That is, they remain alive or ask for their lives 49 00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:23,819 He was mentioned here as a reminder of the misfortunes that befell them 50 00:05:23,819 --> 00:05:28,819 This modesty of females was intended to be malicious 51 00:05:28,819 --> 00:05:31,819 That is, they attack their honor 52 00:05:31,819 --> 00:05:36,819 There is no way to begin with the answer by virtue of captivity and slavery 53 00:05:36,819 --> 00:05:40,819 So his saying comes to pass, “And let your women be ashamed.” 54 00:05:40,819 --> 00:05:43,819 A metaphor for a special shyness 55 00:05:43,819 --> 00:05:46,819 Therefore, he included the reference in his saying 56 00:05:46,819 --> 00:05:51,819 And in that is a great trial from your Lord 57 00:05:51,819 --> 00:05:54,819 Even if what is meant by modesty is apparent 58 00:05:54,819 --> 00:05:58,819 When he directed his compassion to that calamity 59 00:05:58,819 --> 00:06:02,040 Al-Shanqeeti, may God have mercy on him, said 60 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,040 God Almighty said 61 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,040 And when We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who were inflicting on you a terrible torment 62 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,040 They slaughter your sons and spare your women 63 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,040 The apparent meaning of this noble verse 64 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,040 It indicates that women are shy 65 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,040 Among the torments that Pharaoh inflicted on them 66 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,040 It was mentioned in another verse 67 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,040 Which indicates that females are a gift from God 68 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,040 To whomever gave them to him 69 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,040 It is what God Almighty says 70 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:43,040 He gives females to whomever He wishes, and He gives males to whomever He wishes 71 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,100 Some children remain like this 72 00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:48,100 Better than all of them dying 73 00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:50,100 As Al-Hudhayl said 74 00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:53,100 I thanked my God after Urwa was saved 75 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,100 Harsh and some evil are lesser than others 76 00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:59,199 And the answer to this 77 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:04,199 Even though females are a gift from God to the one who gave them to Him 78 00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:07,199 They remain under the enemy's hand 79 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:10,199 He does whatever obscenity and shame he wants to them 80 00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:15,199 He uses them for hard labor as a form of torture 81 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,199 Their death is a relief from this torment 82 00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:22,199 The Arabs wished for the death of females 83 00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:24,199 For fear of such 84 00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:27,300 Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said 85 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,300 And the Almighty said 86 00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:31,300 And let your women live 87 00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:35,300 To ask for the lives and survival of their women 88 00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:37,300 There is no desire for the same revival 89 00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:40,300 Rather, let them be slaves in their homes 90 00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:43,300 And enjoy their beauty 91 00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:48,300 It is an outrageous injustice known only to Pharaoh and others like him 92 00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:52,300 We also saw one of them at this time 93 00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:56,379 Keeping women alive 94 00:07:56,379 --> 00:07:59,379 It is to torture and oppress men 95 00:07:59,379 --> 00:08:02,379 It is one of the worst torments 96 00:08:02,379 --> 00:08:07,379 Images of torture appear to us based on what the people of interpretation have mentioned 97 00:08:07,379 --> 00:08:10,379 They are used while sleeping 98 00:08:10,379 --> 00:08:12,379 And assaulting their honor 99 00:08:12,379 --> 00:08:15,379 And conquer their men 100 00:08:15,379 --> 00:08:18,449 The second type is killing their children 101 00:08:18,449 --> 00:08:23,449 This is a kind of torment that is more severe than the first on a woman’s psyche 102 00:08:23,449 --> 00:08:28,449 This is the child she carried in her womb for nine months 103 00:08:28,449 --> 00:08:33,450 She endured the hardships of pregnancy and the pain of labor and childbirth 104 00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:35,450 When I was happy with his birth 105 00:08:35,450 --> 00:08:39,450 Pharaoh's soldiers come to kill him 106 00:08:39,450 --> 00:08:43,450 What will be the psychological state of this bereaved mother? 107 00:08:43,450 --> 00:08:48,450 How long will this pain and brokenness continue for the mother? 108 00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:51,340 The third type 109 00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:54,379 Anxiety and psychological disorder 110 00:08:54,379 --> 00:09:00,379 This is a type of torment that women went through in the time of Moses, peace be upon him 111 00:09:00,379 --> 00:09:05,379 It is anxiety and psychological disturbance every time she gets pregnant 112 00:09:05,379 --> 00:09:07,379 She doesn't know 113 00:09:07,379 --> 00:09:10,379 Will her baby be a boy and will he be killed? 114 00:09:10,379 --> 00:09:15,379 A female mother will be left to be insulted and humiliated when she reaches puberty 115 00:09:15,379 --> 00:09:21,379 This torment continues with her for nine months of anxiety, fear and turmoil 116 00:09:21,379 --> 00:09:24,379 She doesn't know how to hide her pregnancy 117 00:09:24,379 --> 00:09:27,379 She does not know how to protect her fetus 118 00:09:27,379 --> 00:09:30,379 She does not know what the fate of this pregnancy will be 119 00:09:30,379 --> 00:09:33,379 And how will the end be? 120 00:09:33,379 --> 00:09:39,570 Have you seen such suffering that women go through today? 121 00:09:39,570 --> 00:09:44,460 We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing 122 00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:47,460 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 123 00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:56,169 The story of women's suffering in the time of Moses, peace be upon him
