WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000 The story of women's suffering in the time of Moses, peace be upon him 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:18.600 Pharaoh's torture of women in the time of Moses, peace be upon him 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 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:34.820 In Surat Al-Baqarah, Surat Al-A'raf, Surat Ibrahim, Surat Al-Qasas, and Surat Ghafir 00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:36.979 God Almighty said 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. 00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:04.069 And the Almighty said 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. 00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:31.969 And God Almighty said 00:01:31.969 --> 00:01:40.450 And when Moses said to his people, “Remember the blessings of God upon you.” 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. 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.939 And God Almighty said 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. 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.930 And the Almighty said 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. 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.240 Meaning of bad torment 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:14.240 That is, Pharaoh tortured the women of the son of Israel with different types of torture 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.240 Including the first type 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.240 Keeping them alive to humiliate them 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.240 Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said 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 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.240 Some of them said the most severe punishment 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.240 If that were the meaning, it would be said that the worst torment 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?” 00:03:48.340 --> 00:03:53.340 It was said that it is what God Almighty described in His Book. He said 00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:58.340 They slaughter your sons and spare your women 00:03:58.340 --> 00:04:01.620 Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, said 00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:05.620 This slaughter and shame is the worst torment 00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:09.620 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:14.620 Since salvation can only be from injustice or evil 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.” 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 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:28.620 Then he explained that by saying: 00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:32.620 They slaughter your sons and spare your women 00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:35.620 That is, they kill the males of your offspring 00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:38.620 They keep their females alive 00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:40.620 To weaken and humiliate you 00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:44.620 Leading to the cutting off of your lineage and your extermination 00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:48.620 And in that is a great trial from your Lord 00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:50.620 Yes, and that includes torment 00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:52.620 And in salvation from it 00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:57.620 In each of them is a great trial and test for you from your Lord 00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.620 As he said in another verse 00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:05.620 We tested them with good deeds and evil deeds so that they might return 00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:08.819 Al-Tahir bin Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said 00:05:08.819 --> 00:05:11.819 And shyness is an effect 00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:13.819 Indicates demand for life 00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:18.819 That is, they remain alive or ask for their lives 00:05:18.819 --> 00:05:23.819 He was mentioned here as a reminder of the misfortunes that befell them 00:05:23.819 --> 00:05:28.819 This modesty of females was intended to be malicious 00:05:28.819 --> 00:05:31.819 That is, they attack their honor 00:05:31.819 --> 00:05:36.819 There is no way to begin with the answer by virtue of captivity and slavery 00:05:36.819 --> 00:05:40.819 So his saying comes to pass, “And let your women be ashamed.” 00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:43.819 A metaphor for a special shyness 00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:46.819 Therefore, he included the reference in his saying 00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:51.819 And in that is a great trial from your Lord 00:05:51.819 --> 00:05:54.819 Even if what is meant by modesty is apparent 00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:58.819 When he directed his compassion to that calamity 00:05:58.819 --> 00:06:02.040 Al-Shanqeeti, may God have mercy on him, said 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.040 God Almighty said 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 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:15.040 They slaughter your sons and spare your women 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.040 The apparent meaning of this noble verse 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.040 It indicates that women are shy 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.040 Among the torments that Pharaoh inflicted on them 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.040 It was mentioned in another verse 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.040 Which indicates that females are a gift from God 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.040 To whomever gave them to him 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.040 It is what God Almighty says 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:43.040 He gives females to whomever He wishes, and He gives males to whomever He wishes 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.100 Some children remain like this 00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:48.100 Better than all of them dying 00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:50.100 As Al-Hudhayl said 00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:53.100 I thanked my God after Urwa was saved 00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:57.100 Harsh and some evil are lesser than others 00:06:57.100 --> 00:06:59.199 And the answer to this 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:04.199 Even though females are a gift from God to the one who gave them to Him 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.199 They remain under the enemy's hand 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.199 He does whatever obscenity and shame he wants to them 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.199 He uses them for hard labor as a form of torture 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.199 Their death is a relief from this torment 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.199 The Arabs wished for the death of females 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.199 For fear of such 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.300 Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said 00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:29.300 And the Almighty said 00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:31.300 And let your women live 00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:35.300 To ask for the lives and survival of their women 00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:37.300 There is no desire for the same revival 00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:40.300 Rather, let them be slaves in their homes 00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:43.300 And enjoy their beauty 00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:48.300 It is an outrageous injustice known only to Pharaoh and others like him 00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:52.300 We also saw one of them at this time 00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:56.379 Keeping women alive 00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:59.379 It is to torture and oppress men 00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:02.379 It is one of the worst torments 00:08:02.379 --> 00:08:07.379 Images of torture appear to us based on what the people of interpretation have mentioned 00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:10.379 They are used while sleeping 00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:12.379 And assaulting their honor 00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:15.379 And conquer their men 00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:18.449 The second type is killing their children 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 00:08:23.449 --> 00:08:28.449 This is the child she carried in her womb for nine months 00:08:28.449 --> 00:08:33.450 She endured the hardships of pregnancy and the pain of labor and childbirth 00:08:33.450 --> 00:08:35.450 When I was happy with his birth 00:08:35.450 --> 00:08:39.450 Pharaoh's soldiers come to kill him 00:08:39.450 --> 00:08:43.450 What will be the psychological state of this bereaved mother? 00:08:43.450 --> 00:08:48.450 How long will this pain and brokenness continue for the mother? 00:08:48.450 --> 00:08:51.340 The third type 00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:54.379 Anxiety and psychological disorder 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 00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:05.379 It is anxiety and psychological disturbance every time she gets pregnant 00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:07.379 She doesn't know 00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:10.379 Will her baby be a boy and will he be killed? 00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:15.379 A female mother will be left to be insulted and humiliated when she reaches puberty 00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:21.379 This torment continues with her for nine months of anxiety, fear and turmoil 00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:24.379 She doesn't know how to hide her pregnancy 00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:27.379 She does not know how to protect her fetus 00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:30.379 She does not know what the fate of this pregnancy will be 00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:33.379 And how will the end be? 00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:39.570 Have you seen such suffering that women go through today? 00:09:39.570 --> 00:09:44.460 We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing 00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:47.460 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:56.169 The story of women's suffering in the time of Moses, peace be upon him
