In the video, a student is seen presenting a display featuring two dolls. One doll is dressed in a burqa and placed in a coffin adorned with flowers. The other doll is dressed in a short dress and placed in a coffin filled with depictions of snakes and scorpions. The student then states, "If you wear a burqa, nothing happens to the body after death. But if you wear short clothes, you will go to hell, and snakes and scorpions will eat your body."

The student also references Islamic scripture, making a controversial statement about men and their wives: "A man who allows his wife to roam around the house without a burqa is a dayyus (cuckold)."
