We Created You a Man or Woman

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ

(Qur’ān 49:13)

‘Yā ‘Ayyuhā n-Nāsu ‘Innā Khalaqnākum Min Dhakarin Wa ‘Untha’

‘O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female.’ Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “We created you and multiplied you as a woman and man.” So, mankind created by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla are of two types: male or female. Each has its own distinct characteristics. Allāh ﷻ created them that way.

Therefore, one must accept whatever that creation is and live according to that. People today don’t accept it. They live their lives confused, thinking, “I am this, I am not inferior to him, I am not superior to her.” Then, let alone that, they also do other strange bad things.

Therefore, what they do doesn’t benefit people. It doesn’t provide other than harm. You must be content with what Allāh ﷻ has given you. You are a man, a man; a woman, a woman. There’s no need to do anything else.

Now, shayṭān is deceiving people. He says, “If you were like this, you would be happier, you would be better.” People are not content with their situation. They are not content with what Allāh ﷻ has created them. One problem becomes a thousand.

If you are not content with what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given you, you will never be happy, you will never be successful. You may appear successful in this world, but that is not the case. No matter how much you do, people will not look upon you favorably.

Therefore, you must be as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created you. Most importantly, you must perform your worships. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla didn’t create you to become a woman or a man, He ﷻ created humans and jinn to worship. Therefore, there is no need to bother with these other things.

With other ideas, with different ways of seeing the truth—they don’t look at the truth anyway. And they don’t accept Allāh’s ﷻ creation but only satisfy their egos saying, “I want to be different, I want to be like this, I want to be like that.” They will become even more unhappy and worse. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

These are the fitnahs of the end of times. In the past, such things were rarely heard of. Now, they are heard and seen everywhere. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all from the evil of shayṭān and the evil of our own egos. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
