You know, even Arthaymi rahim Allah was asked,
how do you know if your Ramadan was
accepted?
How do you know if your Ramadan was
accepted?
He said, a person, he carries this on
after the month of Ramadan.
Whatever the Ibadah that he was doing. Let's
just say he started practicing,
he started clothing himself or the girl started
clothing herself in the month of Ramadan.
She carries this on after it.
She started wearing the hijab, the jilbab after
the Ramadan it carries on. He stayed away
from a certain act it carries on.
That's how you know if your Ramadan is
from the alamat, from the alamat of how
you know that your Ramadan was accepted.
And as we mentioned yesterday, inshallah to Allah,
before I move on to some of the
matters pertaining in the salah, how to go
about praying it, what is wajid, what is
not.
In regards to the men,
especially with all this fitna that is going
on,
we have a way that the Salaf,
they
behaved when it came on the day of
Eid.
And it's in common that we mention it.
Sufyanath Suri
is from the tremendous
of the Tabi'in.
He said, on the day of Eid, Sufyanathuri,
he said to us,
The first thing we're going to start with
is lowering our gaze.
The first thing that we're going to start
with is lowering our gaze.
Why? Because they knew. They they can't control
their eyes,
it is going to corrupt their heart.
And this is why ibn al Taym
said regarding
statement
of
Allah. Why did Allah azzawajal say,
tell the believing men to lower his gaze
and then save God your private part.
Then after that, save God your private part.
The first thing that was mentioned was lowering
their gaze.
Why? Because if a person lowers his gaze,
it might reach a stage, it might be
impossible for a person to go to zina.
How can a person that is blind?
Something that might not ever happen. It might
happen but it's very very rare. A blind
man now to go
and commit zina.
It starts with the eyes, then it starts
with the tongue chirping, and then after that
the hand movement, and then the feet that
walks to it. And all of this the
prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam told us, each
part of the body here,
The Zina of the eyes is looking, the
Zina of the tongue is chirping, talking,
and the Zina of the hand is what
stretching out to her and touching her, Or
she or maybe walking around with her
holding hands.
And the zina of the feet
is you walking to that girl.
It is impossible for a person
to do that act without actually looking.
Hence, why
Ibn Uthayim
said It is from the fundamentals
of when it comes to
safeguarding your heart.
It is the fundamental.
He never just said
he said from even the fundamentals that we
have the origin of it
is
that one
lowers his gaze and what happens? He ends
up safeguarding his heart, preserving his heart if
he lowers his gaze.
And Hassan ibn Sinan,
and we mentioned this again yesterday as well.
When he went out on Eid,
he came
back. His wife said to him,
how many beautiful women did you look at
today?
He goes out and he came back.
How many beautiful women did you look at
today?
Something normal for the woman. She's very very
jealous. It's
a Adi.
She carried on. She carried on. She repeated
time and time again
as it came in the narration.
He said
I never left the house except I was
looking at my thumb and I came back
and I was looking at my thumb.
So he left
and he came back like that.
Looking at his thumb. People might think you're
crazy
but at the same time it takes one
look.
It's
one look for you to look at a
girl that is very pretty
and the fact that you're constantly thinking about
it and it corrupts a person's heart.
