Abu Taymiyyah – How The Salaf Dealt Pretty Woman On Eid

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.
