Mona al shaytaani is her real name
Assalamu alaykum brother, lets not call people names, that is not right, no matter what she may be saying, we have to be respectful. We also have to understand that she is a Muslima, even if her views are wrong.
May Allah guide her and all of us to the true and right way, amin.
- Mona clearly lost that debate and alhamdulillah the sister in the video did well to defend Islamic teachings.
However, there are some issues that can be problematic, but it is not due to the wearing of the niqab or teachings of Islam. Those problems lie with some Muslims who have rushed or neglect the many important topics that Islam teaches. That make a complete Muslim.
I often meet people and help them with their problem. Recently, I met one elderly Muslim lady a few days ago, she complained about her daughter in law, who is a Palestinian sister who wears the niqab. Unfortunately, she beats her children, so much so that she was made to move back with her parents house. The children are staying with their grandmother and father. - The elderly lady said that, even though her daughter in law wears the niqab, its just like a "disguise". Its not the outside that matters, but what is within.
Some people, use these sorts of issues and bad experiences to rule out the niqab or beard. This is wrong, these things are from Islam. There are good and bad people in all walks of life, but it is wrong for any person to tell another not to practice Islam in accordance to the evidences.
At the same time, we as Muslims must look objectively and in the best interests of ourselves, families and society. We must work actively to fix any issues that can spring around us, rather than waiting and focussing on the external problems we face.
Many newly practicing Muslims not only alienate themselves from non-Muslims, but, even from their own families. Either they argue with their parents, who may stubbornly hold onto tradition / customs, or they even "cut off" from anyone they disagree with.
Others stubbornly stick to their own interpretation of the Quran and Sunnah, without gaining further knowledge and understanding. What might be fine in one situation, may not be in another. - A clear example is what happened in Saudi Arabia, when a school fire cost the lives of many girls, because the police failed to unlock the doors, because the girls were not wearing hijab.
Its important that we find a balance, and to deal with society, and each other, in the way that Islam states in the Quran and the Sunnah.
Wallahu A'lam,
assalamu alaykum
