5pillars criticise muslim women for watching barbie

Of course you are in this thread not to defend Islam against OP who has an issue with Islam/Muslims but to rant about your feminism.

The reason there is a lot of content preaching against feminism/liberalism/Qawm Lut is because these are major issues of the time. Feminism/liberalism is a powerful force in the world at this time and has affected some Muslim women. You are a great example of it as you only ever mention Islam as a tool in your feminist rants.

Governments target Muslim women specifically in an effort to distort/destroy Islam.

Speakers/Scholars should increase their warning against feminism, it benefits the believers. You are casually mentioning a hadith as an insult when you should indeed take it as a warning.

It was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that women will form the majority of the people of Hell. It was narrated from ‘Imran ibn Husayn that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I looked into Paradise and I saw that the majority of its people were the poor. And I looked into Hell and I saw that the majority of its people are women.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 3241; Muslim, 2737)


Men do us it as an insult against women in comment sections in situations that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. A man and a woman have a disagreement about something and a man will whip that Hadith out. Even Islamic speakers have mentioned how some men like that to use that against women and take it out of context. Instead of trying to understand my point, you’re taking pains to twist in some sort of way in which I’m trying to go against the deen. You and your DH supporters are Shaytains. You lot are really are.

I don’t know if you get paid by DH but you need to leave that cult.
 

Come on Hijabis, don’t be Barbies!​


Shabnam Kulsoom went to see the Barbie movie so you don’t have to. The feminist, sexualised fitna is very real, she writes, seeking to corrupt young girls and belittle men.

In 1959 toy manufacturer Mattel debuted the “Barbie” doll – a cleaner, more palatable version of Bild Lilli, a German fantasy sex doll. Barbie came in the shape of a white, blonde, blue-eyed, tanned-to-perfection plastic figure deemed to be the “perfect woman” for every young girl to own and aspire towards.

This was meant to be the ideal woman – everything about her, from her looks to her skimpy outfits to her careers, her dream houses and destination holidays with on/off boyfriend “Ken.”

Fast forward 64 years, and millions of Barbie sales later, Barbie the Movie has been unleashed on the world amid a furore of excitement.

It is rated 12A “Moderate innuendo, brief sexual harassment, implied strong language” (that’s not at all concerning for parents, is it?), directed by Greta Gerwig, and with Australian actor Margot Robbie playing the lead role of “Stereotypical Barbie.”

Given that I’ve been hearing multiple reports of Muslim mums taking their daughters to see this film (dressed in pink of course), it sparked my interest to see exactly what message the movie was promoting to us females and Muslims in general.

And now having watched it I can confidently say: Brothers and sisters, do not watch it. The fitna is real from the very beginning.

Feminist propaganda

The storyline is loosely based around The Wizard of Oz, with Barbie (white, blonde, perfect face, perfect teeth, perfect nose, perfect body) waking up one day to find her perfect, pink little world run by women for women is no longer a reality. Instead she feels emotions; she feels pain. Even her legendary feet have given up on her – Barbie loses the ability to raise them in her posture-breaking heels.

After consulting “Weird Barbie,” off she goes with her main Ken doll (played by Ryan Gosling) following the Pink Brick Road on an adventure into the Real World (incidentally run by men). And here is where reality bites both Barbie and Ken. Fantasy life versus real-life, where Barbie finds that women do not run the show like in Barbie Land and an awakening for Ken to see patriarchy in practise. And of course he loves it.

But away from the bubblegum, candy-coated pinkness of the film, there lies a message that we have now become all too familiar with – a message of female empowerment. Feminism. Gender roles. Sexualisation. Superficiality. In the words of Beyonce “Who run the world? Girls.” A female empowerment, uber-cringe anthem.

And this fantasy film goes further to intentionally demonstrate the various roles and spaces women could potentially fill in their ideal world with men featuring minimally. Men fulfilling only the role of Ken the doll; a man doll who, in his various versions, is incredibly dense underneath the tan and washboard stomach.

‘She’s everything. He’s just a Ken’

Let us posit the following questions: Why is it that the female director has portrayed all the Kens as unintelligent, emasculated dolls? What is she telling us about men?

Why are all the various Barbies single? Why are all the Barbies without children? A reference is made very early on to “Pregnant Barbie” not being popular and consequently being discontinued. Is the notion of a pregnant woman being phased out?

Why are all the Barbies career-focused Barbies? Where are the traditional “home-maker” Barbies? Is this the fantasy that all women crave? Are women truly happy and fulfilled at the end? How many women have lived this reality and in the end, alone with a cat or a dog for a companion, regretted it?

Make no mistake, nothing about this film is unintentional. The music soundtrack uses highly sexualised female entertainers, with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice to keep the message of female empowerment flowing as the credits roll at the end.

The lyrics are filthy. From every angle, the film is screaming to its young audience (predominantly very young, easily influenced girls) that you can be a girly girl, successful, sexualised and do and achieve everything without or with the least/minimal input from a man. Without being a wife but having an on/off boyfriend, without having children, only focusing on the superficial and advancing in all careers except the traditional role for women. Is this really the dream of every woman?

And on the subject of superficiality, who sets the standard of perfect looks? An ever-changing, Western liberal standard? The MEN who run the fashion houses? The media-mogul MEN? The MALE plastic surgeons using the “golden ratio” to dissect and inject women’s faces? If the idea is for feminists to eradicate men from the whole picture (or at least most of it), why pander to the ideas set by the MEN at the top of every game?

Muslim Barbie!

In the name of inclusivity, the director has baited the Muslim female audience by giving us a token Muslim hijabi BAME Barbie in the row of Barbies. For any Muslim sisters excited about this very brief representation (blink and you’ll miss her) and planning to watch the film, I have gone through the pain of watching it so you don’t have to.

Seeing a brief shot of a brown hijabi Barbie did not fill me with any kind of pride. The only thing it did bring to mind was knowing that had I ever owned a Barbie, my mother would have swiftly made a scarf and tiny pair of trousers for her to cover her modesty! Yes, it is a funny thought, but our elders were well ahead of the game despite how simple-minded we may have thought they were coming from the tribal ends.

No doubt there are Muslim mothers who will be taking their young daughters to watch this film. Yes, I understand how easy it is to get swept up in all the excitement, but what are you hoping to gain from taking your young, impressionable girls to watch it?

Anyone who is a parent knows exactly how incredibly easily children (male or female) can be influenced. Do you want your girls to look and dress like Barbie? Do you want them to behave like Barbie? Do you want to put ideas into their heads of how to “play” men in order to assert power and dominance over them? That’s what all the Barbies plan when Ken turns Barbie Land into the patriarchy of Kendom.

Do you want the idea to be planted that it is ok to be unmarried, without children, have an emasculated guy hanging around you who you occasionally flirt and use sexual innuendos with, focusing only on the superficial things in life like how you look physically?

Do you want them singing filthy lyrics from the soundtrack? Have you sat your daughters down and told them about the female Muslim role models they can aspire to be like? Have you told them the role of a Muslim woman and the importance of being a wife and mother? Have you told them the importance of Muslim women having Islamic knowledge, of maintaining hayaa (modesty) in front of men in both character and dress? Have you told them how Allah SWT has honoured believing women?

This may seem a little bit of an over-reaction to what looks like a pink, fun, fluffy film, but please do not get distracted. There is always an agenda at play. Just look at how the Alphabet Agenda has crept into every facet of our lives and the resulting confusion – yes there is even a Trans Barbie in the movie.

As parents, our primary responsibility towards our children is to protect them from all types of harm and indeed haram to the best of our ability. Take away all the candyfloss, glitter and sparkly fun of this film and you are left with a message that seeks only to ruin a generation of women and reduce men in their value.

As Muslims guided by Allah SWT and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), we have been given our roles specific to our genders. We have been told what it means to be a person of beauty, good character, high value, and what is the correct and only valid relationship between a man and a woman in the sight of the Almighty.

Let us not allow anyone else to set morality and standards for us, least of all the feminists and multi-millionaire liberal movie-makers with agendas.

You lot are really are.

I don’t know if you get paid by DH but you need to leave that cult.

Of course you call Muslims devils and take hadiths as insults. Just like how you avoid all topics on Islam and Muslims except when you can rant about feminism on this forum.

The pattern with you is clear. Your priorities and loyalties are clear and I will be here to remind our readers/Muslims brothers and sisters whenever you try to use our deen as a tool in your feminist rants.
 
I am just pointing out to the readers how you only use Islam as a tool in your feminist rants.
show me one post in which I advocate for feminism?

I engage in gender wars here in which men insult women for marrying out their race.

Men think that Zina for them is acceptable but not for women.

Men thinking they don’t need to help their spouses.

How is being against that feminism?

You’re a liar. Show me one post in which I say something that is haram. Again feminism is women believing they have more rights than Allah gave them. You don’t even what feminism is and have fallen for your cult leaders madness that call any woman feminist as he’s a horrible misogynist and even conservative Muslim men who don’t have a bone in the body of feminism have noticed this.
Readers can notice you only show up in threads to rant about feminism, even a thread by an anti-Muslim/Islam troll, you only show up to agree with him. Readers should realize she is never in any thread about Islam/Muslim, just her true code and deeply held belief, western feminism.
Again you liar, show me a post in which I ranted about feminism. How is what I argue feminism?

Is saying that men should insult women for marrying out feminism?

Men should help their wives?

A recent thread which is a common one here is men thinking they can commit Zina but judge women for it. Is that feminism?
You will often find angelina agreeing with atheists and anti-Islam posters on here to promote her feminism.
I’ve never agreed to our Atheists when it comes to things that are haram. You’re a liar it’s actually insane. Show me one post in which I do that. I’m actually shocked by your lies now and as much I as knew you’re an immoral individual I never knew to this extent that you’ll lie like this. but then again DH is known to lie about his Muslim brothers. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Bringing up Daniel, who is one of the most popular Muslim on the internet and exposed the liberal american "imams" is not relevant. Nor your pretending I am a man and not a woman, you bring it up more then I ever have. I am indeed a Muslim women and will always be here to call out your feminism and promote Islam when your promote feminism InshaAllah.
Is brother Sajid lipman liberal? Are you being for real. The lies come out don’t they?
The ummah is waking up to the evils of feminism and liberalism and their war on Islam and you seem to be mad about it.
Great, many Islamic speaker talk about feminism without hating and attacking women like Daniel does. Sajid being one of them. But you’re a liar and a nasty one at that.
 
Of course you call Muslims devils and take hadiths as insults. Just like how you avoid all topics on Islam and Muslims except when you can rant about feminism on this forum.
This is a perfect spin and lie. You’ve proved my point here. You literally read nothing and twisted by point. How do you honestly think that’s acceptable behavior? I never said the Hadith was an insult but it was men using it against women as an insult against them in arguments to shut them up. You completely twisted that point which shows how dishonest you are.
The pattern with you is clear. Your priorities and loyalties are clear and I will be here to remind our readers/Muslims brothers and sisters whenever you try to use our deen as a tool in your feminist rants.
Right now, you’ve shown everyone that you just want to argue for the sake of it.
I don’t know how anyone reading that post can twist it and suggest that I see the Hadith as an insult when I was clearly talking about men using it against women. It’s absurd Wallahi. But the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I think you’ll find that in recent history there has been a surplus of books and sermons about what women are meant to do and not meant to do. Go to any Islamic bookstore and you’ll find dozens of books called the ideal Muslima, Muslim women and marriage, and the ideal wife. I’ve hardly seen books about being the ideal husband
This is obviously in response to Western liberalism targeting Muslim women to disenfranchise Islamic society. If the enemy attacks you from a certain position, you reinforce that position.
We’re also told that we’ll be in the majority in hell,
The prophet ﷺ who doesn't speak of desires said this, you should show more respect to him.

Yes, but I wasn’t talking about the actual Hadith but about men using it out of context.

That’s why I even said:

‘We’re also told that we’ll be in the majority in hell, that we are fitnah and many young men use that against women without looking at the Islamic commentary surrounding it.’

Why would you crop that out @Hamzza? How honest is that? I wasn’t expecting that from you despite our back and forths. You don’t usually twist what I say so I expected better from you. If you’re going to debate with someone have a bit of honesty and don’t try and crop out the full point.

Why would you crop that out [

Sorry I actually thought they were two different sentences. I apologize I didn't mean to take your statement out of context

But why would you be offended if you were to be reminded that women are the majority in hell, even if it was to score points?

If I have difficulties in praying and was reminded that tariku salah will rot in hell, will I take that as an insult? Ofc no

I’ve had it done against me when i’m like debating about something that isn’t particularly fair against women like something random like don’t call women thr D word for marrying an ajnabi in a halal marriage and then a poster says women are majority going to hell.

Anyway when they use it that way it suggests that women are the ones that are always in the wrong ect in every scenario. That’s the height of arrogance and as a man to have that mentality is insane and it’s demoralizing when it comes to women who don’t understand the context of the Hadith.

The last point Is an example of using a Hadith in the right context. No one would have an issue with that. But they’re not doing that and that’s my point.

I’m sorry but this is just ridiculous
Joe Biden Lol GIF
 
These people are fuking crazy. Calling barbie a feminist and yet if u go to their original countries women dont even have the right to get educated or work lol they love keeping the status quo
 
Easy, just don't get influenced by such movies. Movies are such fictions.
However, there is certainly propaganda in some movies.
We shouldn't deny the possibility that women may be inspired by Barbie.
