[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=4) “Salam aleykoum,” khalti, 3ammi, I know this video may seem strange, but don't worry, it's a voice-over that's out of sync with the picture.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=10) I'm here to discuss the hijab that you won't let your daughter wear.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=14) I know you know that wearing the hijab is obligatory.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=16) So, let's start with the basics. The hijab is obligatory for every Muslim woman from puberty onward.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=22) It's Allah azza wa jal's order. So why, khalti, 3ammi, knowing this, do you forbid her from wearing it?

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=28) Imagine, khalti, 3ammi, that your daughter dies tomorrow.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=31) And yes, death doesn't give warning. You don't know when your daughter is going to die.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=35) So, imagine your daughter dies without ever having worn the hijab.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=39) Do you know what the consequence of that is?

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=41) Auntie, uncle, do you know that the Prophet “Peace be upon him” said that women who are “mutabarrijat,” all right, who don't wear the hijab, won't even smell the fragrance of Paradise.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=50) Would you, auntie, you, uncle, want would you want your daughter not to enter Paradise, not even to smell Paradise because of you?

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=59) Do you know that, on top of that, you—you have sins because of this?

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=63) Every time your daughter goes outside without the hijab because you prevent her, your daughter has sins and you have sins.

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=70) Is that what you want for your daughter, auntie, uncle?

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=73) I know you're afraid for your daughter. I know you say that in France, if she wears a veil, she'll be attacked, that there are a lot of Islamophobes, and so on.

[1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=80) But none of that is a reason before Allah, azza wa jal, not to wear the hijab.

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=85) And do you know why? Because if Allah has decreed that something will happen to your daughter, it will, whether she wears the hijab or not.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=92) And you know what? There are a lot of girls every day, “mutabarrijat,” not wearing the hijab, who are attacked, raped, “Allah yostor,” though they don't wear the hijab.

[1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=101) Statistically, your daughter is more likely to be attacked without the hijab than with it. Khalti, 3ammi, don't forget one thing.

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=107) The Prophet, peace be upon him, told us even if the whole world conspired against a Muslim, it could do absolutely nothing to him if Allah had not ordained it for him.

[1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=115) And even if the whole world tried to help a Muslim, if Allah had ordained that he would not succeed or something else, well, he would not succeed.

[2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=123) It is Allah, Mighty and Majestic, who decides.

[2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=125) So, auntie, uncle, fear Allah, and do not put this world before the Hereafter.

[2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=129) And know that your daughter does not have to obey you in this, because we do not obey created beings when that means disobeying the Creator.

[2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=136) She must wear the hijab despite your wishes.

[2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=138) But why am I making this video for you? Because you need to know that you are committing sins.

[2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=142) Every time you stop her, Every time you block her way, every time you criticize her, every time you do anything that keeps her from progressing in her “din,” you incur sins. So please, I ask you to think about this video and never forget that death gives no warning,

[2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=158) whether it comes for you or your daughter.

[2:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=160) And auntie, uncle, before Allah, nothing in this world will help you.

[2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=164) But giving your children a good upbringing, educating them in religion, helping them in their religion, advising them in their religion and bringing them up well, but that will be of use to you.

[2:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GBsn2Bpam04M/en/a-message-to-muslim-parents-who-forbid-their-daughter-to-wear-hijab?t=175) May Allah protect you.
