"Do Not Inflate Her Head "

"Do Not Inflate Her Head "

When I talk about women, I say, "I inflate her head" (I make her think she is more valuable than she is)...

So I say: Yes, I want to inflate the head of the Muslim woman, and the Muslim man, and the Muslim child, and the Muslim girl... and I want to do all of this with the truth.

I want to make all Muslims feel the greatness of their value as Muslims, and the immense difference between them and other people... Then, after that, we can talk about our rights and duties towards each other... But first, we must gather our scattered selves... and instill in the Muslim man and woman self-esteem, pride in the Islamic identity, and a positive view of themselves...

Especially in this time when global and local media work to make Muslims feel the cheapness of their blood and their humiliation, even among ourselves, as I explained in the speech (What Made Us Underestimate the Blood of Muslims?)

In this time when some prominent figures among the Muslims spread the inferiority complex, self-hatred, and admiration for the dominant nations, and blur the line between Islam and disbelief under the title (tolerance and respect for others), with the result that the Muslim feels that his unity and Islam are nothing and do not give him any advantage in this world or the hereafter!

And even the unwise preaching discourse often completes the destruction by excessive blame and reproach without encouragement and motivation!!

Among the greatest ways I can draw closer to Allah is to remind the Muslim that he is important, of great value to Allah by his faith, and that Allah has honored his possessions, making his blood, honor, and wealth sacred as the sanctity of the sacred day in the sacred month in the sacred land... because he is important...

I remind the Muslim woman that Allah has poured His wrath upon those who belittle her honor: (Indeed, those who accuse chaste, unaware believing women are cursed in this world and the hereafter, and they will have a great punishment (23) On the Day when their tongues, hands, and feet will bear witness against them for what they used to do (24) On that Day, Allah will pay them in full their due, and they will know that Allah is the Truth, the Clear Truth (25))... terrifying verses for those who touch her honor because she is important...

I remind Muslims that the Throne of the Merciful trembled at the death of a Muslim (Sad bin Muadh), and that your tear is of great value in the scale of Allah, O Muslim, saving you from the Fire while the earth and all that is in it will not save the disbeliever...

Yes, I want to inflate the heads of all Muslims, for the vision we set before our eyes and theirs is a great one: stewardship of the earth and leadership of nations in all fields, calling people to enjoy with us the religion of Allah, and saving humanity from misguidance and servitude to criminals to the vastness of this world and the hereafter.

The great mission needs great souls who value themselves and feel their dignity before Allah, unaffected by their humiliation by the disbelievers or by the hypocrites and the defeated.

(And to Allah belongs the might and to His Messenger and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know).
