December 13, 2022 Beyond the Matrix: Masculinity & Modesty in Islam
In a world ravaged by debates over masculinity and femininity, Muslims are left wondering what Islam says about men and masculine traits. While characteristics such as courage, strength, and dominance are often brought up, we hear very little about the concept of modesty for men. What does hayaa' mean in relation to Muslim men? Are gym selfies okay for Muslim men to post? How can Muslim fathers teach their sons about masculinity and modesty in Islam?
Imam Tom Facchine and Zainab bint Younus discuss what Islamic modesty looks like for Muslim men, the spiritual virtues of hayaa' vs the bare minimum fiqh, and how this figures into an Islamic framework of modesty.
