Surah Al-Nisa Verse 34: Men as protectors of Women | Mufti Abu Layth

most assad can you tell us something about me sir I'm Riley can I tell you something about women I could tell you many a things about women for any be a body hidden anymore that's a cha-cha-cha Missa 34 he's talking about a surah a touch of this religious talk coming on religious religious talk Parma I'm literally I've answered this before

the Kuwata Reggiano Guam una Allen Nisa this is a descriptive verse so this is describing how society is for the most part so society is generally has been more so if you if it's looking at a global picture it seems to be historically definitely was patriarchal and although today in the West it's no longer a patriarchal it's kind of

egalitarian and maybe in some places it's been matriarchal but by and large for the most part it was patriarchal and therefore the Quranic discourse was the Kitab was simply reflecting the society that it was talking to you and and humanity for the most part because humanity for the most part men have been the kind of the keepers and the and the safeguarding element within a family unit they have been the providers the breadwinners and that still is the case

from you know from the cognitive revolution from the time of Adam Allison I'm coming down for the most part men are the you know the kind of people that have been kind of responsible for protection responsible for security responsible for these things and even though in modern societies that is not necessarily the case now actually wait they let me take that back I think it's still subconsciously there I think that you see from a subconscious perspective I feel that it's interesting

because I think we see there's a subconscious unspoken it's not it's not not about words but there's a kind of comfort I feel that women and this is making a generalized statement but from a psychoanalytic perspective that I feel there's a kind of psychological assurity that is sensed by women with the presence of a man that even if he is not doing something but so for example in a

home setting the presence the male presence or not just a male like a child but man presence I think non spoken but it kind of provides a subconscious psychological assurity for women and even if they don't even if the guy is and he doesn't have to be somebody that is you know gonna be some kind of warrior but still this I feel that we still have that psyche with us that's my kind of reflection but so the if in certain

societies women are the Agua mats I love region let's say they are matriarchal societies Oh egalitarian you know you know bottom of woman Allah Bob it's like in that case the verses would apply accordingly this isn't to say that men are better than women is it's not to say that so they have that kawaman but that's in those societies in some societies they don't so that's all I'm saying she just needs the presence of a big-gun no but I feel that they you know it's

interesting because I feel that you see men so you see I think men this this there's a time that men want kind of solitude III don't know whether this is I don't know what the people relate to that not always not always want solitude but I think there's a time way men kind of they don't mind that being alone but then they want obviously you see I think with men it's more about certain needs

this is gonna sound very wrong now but I think it's more about convenience and needs and obviously there is that you know that kind of I don't just mean intimacy could be like let's say in a home setting taking care of children doing this doing that but I think men want that kind that there's a kind of need for just being sometimes not disturbed and just being in you know in their own world and I think you see the irony the almost the Divine Comedy is

that women I think there's a need for the man to be present and that's like so comical because it just doesn't work as I'm sure the quarantine is proving I'm sure they need solitude to but I'm just saying that a lot of the times you'll get this thing that people will say mean relationships you hear this a lot that people will say oh you know like so if a man is going out some way or if he's doing something that the woman would want him home even though he doesn't

have to be doing anything but just wants him home and it's it's and I think this is part of that Divine Comedy that God has kind of let loose in humanity is that yeah
