Is Hell Mostly Made Up of Women? The Hadith Explained | Real Talk | Dr. Tesneem Alkiek

Did the Prophet ﷺ describe women as "deficient in intelligence and religion"? Real Talk weighs in with Yaqeen scholar Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Cadar Mohamud, who examine one of the most circulated and least understood hadiths about women: the narration in which the Prophet ﷺ addresses a gathering of women, warns that they will be the most numerous of the inhabitants of Hellfire, and describes them as lacking in ʿaql and deen. Dr. Alkiek walks through the narration and the setting in which it was delivered and explains why his words were not understood by those present as disparaging toward women. #intelligence #women #deficiency #muslim #hadith 00:00 Introduction 01:23 The Hadith That Raises Questions About Women 05:50 Understanding the Prophet’s ﷺ Character and Context 28:00 Are Women Really the Majority in Hellfire? 33:32 Does Islam Say Women Are Less Intelligent? 42:35 Why Is a Woman’s Testimony Worth Half? 50:00 When One Woman’s Testimony Is Enough 54:52 How Women Were Treated in Islamic Courts 1:03:01 Why Are Women Called Deficient in Religion? 1:06:28 When Hadith Are Used Against Women Click SUBSCRIBE and hit the 🔔 icon to receive the latest updates from Yaqeen!
