right I did want to speak about this whole tariq jameel saab thing let me bring this up people so there's been a lot of there's been a huge backlash to this Maulana tariq jameel saab event so what's happened let me give you a backdrop there's been a speech that was done by Maulana tariq jameel he was called on a kind of platform I'll play a few minutes of it and it's triggered a huge kind of backlash people saying that oh he's being misogynistic what he was doing is it was a kind of a live event

to raise it was a charity event I believe to raise money and he was called on to do to make dua at the end now in the door I was very emotional to are he did and he spoke about certain things and he criticized the media he that they need to stop spreading falsehood and lies and and he spoke about modesty and this triggered a lot of people especially a lot of women there was a backlash like things like this Shirin Missouri I'm not sure who that is but she says simply absurd for anyone under any guys to even suspect the kovat pandemic is a result of women wearing

short sleeves or because of private schools universities misleading the youth it's utterly unacceptable and it's a misogynist mindset venez Eve says tariq jameel his comments about immoral women and corona sum up the thinking of most clergy in Pakistan and dare I say the Prime Minister himself vah vah vah some other comments went on to say some person said I think the women have gone mad he never blamed women for the pandemic please watch it again so a woman saying Farzana saying that people have misunderstood e all

this kind of hate that he's that he's been facing in my understanding honestly I look I don't necessarily generally have to agree in outlook with Maulana tariq jameel Saab but in all honesty I think that you see he didn't really I don't think I didn't feel that he was blaming women in saying that all this is woman's fault the corona virus has come but he was trying to say that look in times of calamity we need to return to this is what I felt that when to also use this as an opportunity to

inspect our own morals are we being truthful why are we full of lies why is there in the fight the final point although I didn't include much of that about risque Hillel that having halal means of income not kind of conning people not taking bribes and in between he mentioned about modesty now he did say that look who is it that makes the daughters of this country dance and who makes them do this and we're these kind of clothes and and then he does say that now look I would feel although we can disagree on certain things we can disagree on certain fifthly views we can sit but generally whether by and large

you agree or not I think some kind of approaches or some aspects are important in society that they whether we you know we we completely identify with it or not like him I can understand if he only goes on about women but he didn't and that most of that talk just that that was I think about a sixteen seventeen minute talk and that was just I think about three minutes or two minutes where he mentions about the women but he doesn't just say women he says look modesty is going and people are you know what's happening and then he says and

what can we do anyway you know you can never impose these are things which have to come from the heart I I would personally support Maulana tariq jameel Saab I I feel he is one of the only scholars that has ever worked for unity amongst different sects I feel that he is one of the only people to publicly on media say that look he said a great media channel person approached me and he said advise me and he said I said stop telling lies that was at the beginning of that speech and he said the person said well if I shut the lies down I might as well shut the channel down

he said the lies won't stop but the channel or you know will will come to an end and and I feel that even if I disagree with certain things like let's say him saying let's say he he feels music is haram let's say I don't know whether he does I think he may feel and I don't feel that music is Haram I would still feel that a person that kind of a voice that says certain things calls people to certain views even if they're different to my views but from a very caring kind of like angle I feel is important in society

you see I think because people whether we agree with the ins or outs they need these general reminders just to reflect I don't know that's what I I feel so even if I disagreed with Maulana tariq jameel on certain particulars but I would feel that as a universal that this kind of a voice is an important necessary voice in society you know something that makes people reflect something that makes people kind of think at times and I didn't feel that he was being misogynistic I'm being but that said he actually came on TV since

then and he issued in himself he stated an apology he said that look I apologize if I hurt anybody's feelings and and he says I I'm he said he says he made a mistake he shouldn't have even said that and I think that is so big and telling of him that he can actually do that that because he's you know he's huge as a name to come and openly admit to look say okay I made a mistake hands up but I didn't even really think that he was being that bad and I didn't think he was saying or women with the cause of although to be okay if you know he kind of did mention that look oh we need to

wear as modesty gone and so on but there's nothing wrong in having a message about modesty you see because it's interesting because we have to remember that this sometimes there's certain things we might do them but we don't want them done as rules in society like like let's say with your children so like I don't believe personally it's Haram this way I you know I don't mean swearing at people but just generally profanity in it's like if I said ah F this man well I don't think that's Haram but I wouldn't want to do that in front of my children and I wouldn't want them to be

using profanity in front of me like so I you know this this etiquettes I guessed you know this like propriety there's this certain each setting has a kind of guidelines if you like that there's rules and and it's good to have some of these things in society even if on a level of particulars you may disagree with certain things but to have them I don't know that's maybe I don't know maybe people disagree with me on that but I I feel that these voices are still important voices in society and he's not in like a Taliban voice he's not like somebody like beat him down and in fact

he even said look nobody should ever try to impose these things he gave the example of when I was he said when he used to be in school or college or wherever it was they used to you know somebody used to impose a Lhasa age to pray without Woodall so this was his point so I write I I don't know I I feel that my thoughts on
