Allah just a reminder that the book is available for sale, inshallah at the back. So please, if you
are actually interested in joining this halacha it really matters if you have the book, because what

			to chase away any confusion. The book that we're doing is, this is love card therapy complements it
insha Allah so you can buy both, but the one that we're focused on here right now is this is love.
And we're doing Hadith number two, and the title of the chapter is Allah is beautiful, right? So
there's the one main Hadith and other narrations. The first mean Hadith here is where Rasul Allah is
Allah Allah audio is said in Allah to Allah journey you don't you're hippo German. Well, you hit on
earlier Ohmori or Accra who's of Safa. Allah azza wa jal is beautiful. And he loves beauty. And he
loves lofty matters, and he hates lowly once. And in another Hadith in the like and even your
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:31
			hipbone Khurana, Giovanni hibel, Jawa, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is Corinne generous, and he loves those
who are generous. And he is that's another type of generosity Joanne
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:45
			and he loves those who have that type of generosity, your head Guna eylea. He loves the best of
character and manners, and he hates lowly ones. And in another Hadith,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:03:16
			Allah the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says in the lodge I need on your Hebrew, German Allah is
beautiful and he loves beauty, while you Hebrew and Yara SRN Mati here and Abdi here and he loves to
see the trace of the favours that he had given to a servant upon the servant, meaning for him to
exhibit that, that favor and that bounty while you believe in books or whatever. And Allah hates
books and tobaccos showcasing poverty or pretending to be poor.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:38
			Now, these Hadith clearly tell you something really important about Allah subhanho wa taala. And
from that draws from, it's something that you're supposed to do, the way that you're supposed to
act. And this is what the message of the entire book is that we want to know Allah as the origin.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:04:04
			But we don't want to stop there. We want have that be impactful that it changes us changes us in
terms of how we know Allah and relate to him, how we worship Him, subhana wa Tada, and how we behave
according to him, according to their worship on this earth, says knowledge, but also the application
of that knowledge and we don't want those to be divorced from each other. So
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:13
			why is it important to know Allah xojo, right, this goes back to last lecture, why is it important
to know Allah as a surgeon?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:34
			Because if you don't know him, it'd be hard for you, to love Him, to fear him to relate to him. Just
like any relationship that you have with a human being. Right? So what's the thing that you ask a
person that you meet for the first time? What's your name?
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:47
			Okay, where are you from? What do you do? What's your job, your hobbies? The more that you know
them, the more that you could be connected to them, right?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			And then the more commonality or find between you and them.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			So how are you going to love Allah or fear Allah or whole from him or call on Him if you know
nothing about
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:12
			Add him so you have to know Allah azza wa jal in order to worship Him SubhanaHu wa Tada and to know
Allah you also have to love him. So, the question is how do we know Allah azza wa jal how do we get
to know him?
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			So, how do you get to know human being? Do you think about it?
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:26
			Simple simply, first questions, right, but also through observation.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:41
			So, how he adds, how she adds, tells you things about them, how he or she dress, tells you things
about them, so observation and questions, and then things that they may volunteer I am this and I am
that.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			So, Allah azza wa jal, how do we know him?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:17
			And you may think that these questions are basic, and they are basic, but they are important because
they structure your mind, how you think you with me, right? How you think starts to change based on
how you answer these questions. So I need to know Allah, God, that that becomes a purpose. How do I
know him? That becomes the method? How do you know him? So Allah reveals Himself to you, how does
Allah revealed Himself to you
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:18
			through what
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:36
			His revelation, the Quran and the Sunnah are all about telling you who Allah subhanho wa Taala is.
So you got Allah's revelation, you got also the universe around you. Because the universe around you
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:13
			is created by Allah as though did the same one who had revealed the Quran and taught the sunnah to
His messenger, Allah He Salatu was Salam. So when you observe the universe, it tells you a lot about
the creator of the universe, right? So if you find in it, intricacy, if you find perfection, if you
find beauty, what does that tell you about the creator and the maker that he has these qualities. So
the universe teaches you also about Allah subhana wa Tada and reveals to you who he is, and then
life events, what happens to you?
		
00:07:14 --> 00:08:01
			Now, not all life events, right can be interpreted right, because you need the lens of the Quran and
Sunnah. But life events will teach you a lot about this life and then about a lot about its creator.
So if you find that nothing lasts, it tells you a lot about the dunya. But it also tells you a lot
about Allah who is the opposite of all of this. And that pushes you towards him, Subhan Allah to
Allah because if nothing lasts, you need and you want the thing, or the one that lasts, that is the
desire that you have in you, seeking the thing that will not leave you. Right, the thing that will
not leave you so your life events also teach you a lot about Allah zoodle simply for instance, I
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			called on Allah and they made to an Allah answered it.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:33
			That becomes your lesson. That becomes a revelation to you. That now I know that Allah azza wa jal
hears Allah sees and Allah answers the DUA and Allah is all powerful. This is an own personal
evidence that Allah subhanho wa Taala is there. So this is how you know Allah subhanho wa Taala
Revelation, the universe, which confirms our relation and also what is happening to you. Now.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			Allah azza wa jal, we know him through our basic needs.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:09:19
			And we know him subhanho wa Taala through what takes place on this earth, and we graduate in
knowledge. So we know them through our basic needs, you need to eat, where does that come from? And
if it stops raining, you know that there is somebody who's more powerful, who can send rain. If you
become sick, you know that if you do everything in your power, to heal yourself and you cannot be
healed, you know that there has to be someone with greater power who can heal you. So your need
pushes you towards Allah subhanho wa taala. And that's why sometimes being sick is good.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:29
			And sometimes loss is very beneficial. Because without it, you don't realize your need for Allah
azza wa jal
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			right. So
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:39
			when you realize your needs, you realize that Allah is the one who answers do
		
00:09:40 --> 00:10:00
			Allah is the One who cures Allah is the One who sustains Allah is the One who provides and that is a
type of knowledge of Allah xuejun And that is knowledge based on our need from him. There is one
that is higher that it will claim the court in the book in the chapter talks about which is not
refer to Allah here as
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			Zero idle unclarity generally meaning knowing Allah xojo through his beauty, which he says, This is
not common.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:37
			Because you know Allah azza wa jal as the one who forgives, Allah is the One who provides, but who
thinks about him Subhana Allah as Allah the beautiful. So this is another level, a higher level,
where you start to see Allah as his origin as who he is not what he can give you. Which is by the
way, you still good. You need always that connection, Allah is the only one who can give.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:43
			But now it's not you who's at the center. Allah is at the center.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:59
			Okay, and that's significant. It's not, it's Allah azza wa jal is who he is, is my Rob because if I
call on Him, He answers if I'm sick, he cuse me, if if if and this is
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			what he can do for me,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:12
			but now, who is he, he is the most beautiful, he is the most powerful, he is the highest, he is the
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:42
			the best of all things. So now, as Allah zodion is and that is, and that he felt a knowledge of
Allah azza wa jal, that is better. And that is higher because it's unaffected by the fluctuations of
light on affected by my dua was answered, or my dua was not answered. Now you are attached to Allah
zoton because of him subhanho wa taala. So this is a type of crab gradual knowledge.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:12:28
			So your love begins for Allah azza wa jal because what Allah gave you something, right? So I asked
Allah for children, and he gave him to me, and I'm forever grateful. I was in trouble and I cried
out to Allah as Odin and he saved me and I'm forever grateful. So he gave you something and anyone
who gives you, you will reciprocate with love. And if Allah is the One who is helping you at times
of need, then you will love him more than anyone else. That's how it's supposed to work, then you
will love him more than anyone else. And if Allah brings you closer to him because of this, you
begin to hear that Allah azza wa jal is who he is. He's perfect. He's complete, his, the highest and
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:58
			the most intimate and closest he is without beginning in his without end. He's the one who doesn't
gain anything from what you worship. And he's asking you to do all of that for your own sake. When
you begin to begin to know these things about Allah azza wa jal, you discover the attribute and the
name of beauty and a Jimmy who's beautiful. So he's beautiful in what subhanho wa taala.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:26
			He is beautiful, in himself is beautiful, in his name's beautiful and his attributes beautiful in
his actions throughout completely, he is the most beautiful subhanho wa taala. And this if you
understand it, it begins to change the image that some have of Allah as Odin as simply the Punisher.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			Now, does Allah get angry?
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:55
			Yes. Does Allah punish? Absolutely. Does Allah azza wa jal avenge the believers? Yes. If that is the
only image that you have of Allah azza wa jal, it will be an incomplete image. So I only know him
Subhan Allah to Allah to be someone who punishes so how intimate how close can you be to a god
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:03
			to the creator of the only thing that you know about him is that he will smite me he will destroy me
if I don't do His will.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:32
			Do Can you relate to him? subhanaw taala through another path that complements that not Eclipse or
replace, but complements Can you relate to him Subhana wa Tada and that is the beauty. See, look at
his actions on Earth and his actions tell you that here's the beautiful so what what are these
actions on earth that tell us that he subhanho wa Taala is beautiful.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			So you look at sunrise and sunset, right?
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:59
			You look at the rain, you look at the snow. You look at beautiful human beings, beautiful animals,
beautiful sky, beautiful universe, beautiful microscopic beings, the atom, all that ordered
structured, but also what it's
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:21
			Beautiful. So the actions of Allah azza wa jal tell you what the who is the creator, who can create
this beauty and view imbue everything with that beauty, he must have beauty himself. So even when
Josie Rahim Allah here in the court when he says when he talks about the engraving and the engraver,
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:27
			you see when when you see an engraving, or a beautiful work of art?
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			Do you admire the work?
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:46
			And ignore the artists? Or does your admiration extend really to the artist who's capable of
creating that beautiful piece of work? Where did where does it stop, you just look at this book, and
you say, Oh, how beautiful it is the cover, but you don't think about the designer.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			So if the cover is beautiful,
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			the designer has a sense of beauty.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55
			Right?
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:22
			And if that's the case, this act tells you something about the maker, CIO of New Jersey, he says he
says the there are those who only look at the physical, they look at the engraving, and they only
admire it. But those who can penetrate with their eyes and with their hearts, the physical and to
the non physical, will see that the Creator has more beauty than what he created.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			Right?
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:42
			Well, let's let that be in the question in sha Allah, but I'm talking about the creation of Allah as
origin, that this beauty, right must come from someone who has a sense of beauty.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:17:34
			So that tells you a lot about him. subhanho wa taala. And there are those who and what they observe
the physical, their eye does not penetrate beyond. So they look at the sunset, and they admire the
sunset, or the sunrise, and they stop there. But as a Muslim, you're supposed to look beyond it.
Deeper into Subhan Allah, the Creator of this yes, this is beautiful, but Subhan Allah, the One who
can give this Subhan Allah the one who can mold and fashion this Subhan Allah the one who can
sustain this. So that is the action of Allah azza wa jal, now from the action comes the attribute,
and from the attribute comes the name. So you realize that Allah has xojo is the creator of beauty.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			And Allah has Zoda, the Sustainer of Beauty and the giver of all beauty.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:18:14
			And if you have to football, you think about it, add one to the other. So this is beautiful, and
this and this and this and so on. So all the beauty in this life in all of its forms, by the way,
physical and non physical, because beauty come in both shapes. You will look at someone and you can
admire their physical beauty, but you also you find in them non physical beauty in terms of
character, generosity, that's also another form of beauty. And which of the two is most important?
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:58
			The physical or the non physical, the non physical because that's the thing that lasts, but the
physical beauty is still attests to Allah's as his origin, perfection. So if all the beauty 1111111
All of them in the world, from that time of Adam, Annie's sit down till the Day of Judgment, all of
that had been produced by one Creator than Allah, the Creator is more beautiful than all of these
things combined. So even I am Rahim Allah and he says, if you are to actually bring every beautiful
image and every beautiful face and every beautiful thing and you put them on top of each other,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:08
			and you want to compare their beauty to the beauty of Allah zoton It will be like a faint candle in
comparison to the sun.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:20
			It disappears. So Allah azza wa jal is beautiful in his actions, beautiful in His name, and
beautiful in himself,
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:27
			that Allah Himself is the most beautiful that anyone can be holding imagine.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:35
			You say, Well, do we have evidence to support that we say yes, in addition to everything that we
have said,
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:41
			right? So the people in Ghana and that hadith is there. The people of Ghana
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:59
			when Allah azza wa jal tells them do you need Do you want anything else? And they wish until they
couldn't wish anymore until they will say your Allah you've given us everything I could drink
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			It's
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:31
			all of it all of it. Close whatever we could imagine or not imagine. You've given us everything. And
Allah azza wa jal reveals himself to the meaning removes the hijab. And they are able to behold and
see with their own eyes, the face of Allah azza wa jal and it's Allah the prophets of Allah Allah
was seldom said they were not given anything dear and more precious to them than beholding the face
of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:39
			That is the bounties the enjoyment of the people of Ghana, which all of us want.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:48
			So it depends some of us are looking for security, some of looking for peace, but we want all of it
without exclusion.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:57
			So it is said in that hadith that looking at Allah's face eclipses all the nayeem in the joy in
gender.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:05
			So if someone were to ask you what is the greatest bounty and the greatest joy in Jannah? What would
you say?
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			It is singing Allah suffix
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			seeing Allah's face,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:43
			and it doesn't mean that well I'm not I don't care about the food and generally I don't care about
the drink. No, Allah mentions it praises it for you to seek it. But don't forget that looking at the
last phase is better than all of this. So Allah tells you that he's the most beautiful and he's more
beautiful than Jana and more beautiful than anything that can be created. And in fact, as no one can
really fathom the greatness of Allah zodion except Allah.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:49
			No one can fathom the full beauty of Allah subhanho wa Taala except Allah.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:22:19
			And that is mind boggling. That is, you can understand. You can think you can look at Allah azza wa
jal, and you could behold the beauty of his face and yet you will not fully comprehend how beautiful
Allah is. So you have to relate to him. Subhan Allah to Allah, in terms of that, if I were to look
at him subhanaw taala I'll be mesmerized. Not like looking at supermodels or what have you here? And
you say, Wow,
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:24
			no, no, no, this is real beauty. Real Beauty.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:31
			And this is something that you will want to keep in mind. Because if you know Allah as the
beautiful,
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:40
			you will seek him worship him as the beautiful, you cannot wait to meet him Subhan Allah to Allah
just to think to behold that beauty
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:56
			to actually be those who will enjoy that. See one that so in your in your Salah. And by the way,
now, we will say, if you want the beautiful, then you also have to be beautiful.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:20
			Right? You also have to be beautiful, in terms of what in terms of your own Aida in terms of how you
behave. Now, you know, somebody may ask, because we said, Allah is beautiful, Allah is beautiful,
and all of that. And that's all true. But some people come back and retort and they say that, well,
you have ugliness in the dunya.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:44
			So how do you account for ugliness in this world, especially in terms of you're saying that Allah is
beautiful, and his actions are beautiful. And they use that argument to say that well, that means
that there is no creator and there is no God because that ugliness can only mean that this world is
chaotic. So there are answers in the book, and I will summarize that for you. It says,
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:51
			though, you should think about it, what predominates in this world, ugliness or beauty.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			Which one,
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:13
			beauty is predominant. Even though we if we look at it at sometimes, there seems to be a lot of
suffering, but think about it objectively, at any particular moment. There is more beauty, or more
cleanliness, when you think about it. Really, the beauty is overwhelming.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:32
			So you have to be fair and balanced when you assess and not only focus on what you consider to be
ugly for the sake of advancing an argument that denies all beauty. Because if you want to say
there's a lot of ugliness in the world, and that means that there is no God, how you account for all
the beauty then.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:59
			How do you how do you explain that it actually is overwhelming at any particular moment. Are there
more people healthy or sick? Right now? Worldwide? Are there more people healthy or sick? Healthy
otherwise, right? All the hospitals will be closed. But that's not the case. at particular time are
all of us or most of us hungry.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			Do we have at least enough to sustain us?
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:18
			We have enough. So you can't look at the negative and say blow it up and say, All that means that
this world is ugly, Allah azza wa jal created a lot of beauty in it. So look at the beauty
discovery. And don't be
		
00:25:19 --> 00:26:01
			pigeonholed by, you know, one, one argument or an old tendency, sometimes if you're pessimistic or
gloomy. In fact, there's a lot of good that is in the world. So extract yourself from whatever
you're in. And look at that beauty. Right? So that's one. Second, there is ugliness that comes as a
consequence, natural consequence of Allah as the devil telling you do what you think is right. That
is your freedom, freedom of choice, you could save a life or you can waste it and kill it. So if
Allah azza wa jal allows you to take a life allows you to steal allows you to do all of this, he's
not
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:11
			commanded you to commit ugliness, he's allowing it because without it, there will be no freedom of
choice,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:32
			there will be no consequences, there will be no people who will rise against the Ottomans and say,
it needs to stop. And they will sacrifice the time and life and money for the sake of Allah zodion.
And because of that, ascend in righteousness to levels that cannot be reached, unless they are
challenged.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:43
			Right? So it is necessary in this whole construction that Allah has given has created. And also
there are some things that are ugly,
		
00:26:45 --> 00:27:05
			ugly in the sense of, you know, you look at them, and you say, it's, it's hard to watch, it's hard
to see whether it's physically or non physically. So why does this exist? Why is the fifth one
there? Why is suffering why, why, why and all of this? And again, we say, Allah azza wa jal has a
plan for all of this. And that's why He created it.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:12
			So I don't know if you've ever seen some of these videos where a person an artist starts to draw
something.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:38
			And in the beginning of it, he's drawing. And in the beginning, it doesn't seem like he knows what
he's doing. He says, hey, look, this is I don't like this cover, this looks ugly. I don't look like
this pattern. And we are being just what viewers, we're not artists ourselves, we're just witnessing
the creation of that thing. So in the beginning, you think, does he know what he's doing?
		
00:27:39 --> 00:28:02
			Do these colors match? This looks like a work of an amateur. The more that he keeps going and adding
color to it, and adding layers and doing things that you haven't seen before. Eventually, the plan
of the artist reveals itself. And the final picture, when you see it, you say, Oh, now I see why I'm
watching.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:47
			Because that's beautiful. But the process, right, I know you've seen these videos, but in the
process, you couldn't really follow. But ultimately, as it reveals itself, you could see why the
artists did what he did. So Allah azza wa jal is going to reveal these things in time, especially at
the end of time, but he will reveal these things in time. So maybe you're looking at one thing, and
you're not able to see the final picture. But if you trust Allah Zildjian more than you trust an
artist, then you will believe that the final picture will make sense. Otherwise, if you have to
approve every step of an expert, you will stop the doctor before he operates on you. And you will
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:51
			say, how is it that to treat me you need to cut me?
		
00:28:52 --> 00:29:09
			Right? I'm coming to you for you to save me. But now you're cutting my body. Well, if you are a
doctor or you know what doctors do or surgeons do in particular, you will know that it's a process
and you need to cut in order to heal.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:23
			So here is where it's important to trust him Subhan Allah to Allah and to believe in him being the
beautiful and it also shows you Allah has full ability, that Allah could create this and its
opposite.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:46
			And through contrast, you realize what beauty is? So, we said that Allah azza wa jal, no one can
fathom His beauty except him subhanho wa taala. And we said that his beauty surpasses all the beauty
in this life combined, and surpasses the beauty in Jannah and also surpasses the beauty of
everything that you love.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:55
			See the example that I gave this in case the example of Jana or every other beauty in the world
combined is too abstract.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			So we say that if you take a
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:10
			Everything. Okay, that makes you happy. So you think about it because that's a good exercise. So
think about with me they will favorite food.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			You got it. Okay, your favorite person
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:22
			that one plus to your favorite activity.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:33
			Your favorite memory. That may be hard. But anyway, think of something, your favorite thing that you
want to do
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			your favorite person, dimension favorite person,
		
00:30:40 --> 00:31:20
			add them all together, and you understand how each one of them gives you joy and happiness on their
own. Right? So Allah azza wa jal is better than all of that. And more beautiful than all of that,
and gives more joy than all of that. This is just on a personal level, so that you could say, This
child of mine, to see how much joy he gives me, this work, this production, I'm planning to travel
and can't wait for it. Where I remember when I graduated or I got my job or when I got married at
how beautiful that was. Allah subhana wa Tada Beauty and the joy that he gives is better than all of
this.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:42
			But you need to do the work for that. You need to actually think about it and you need to work to
gain and so everything that we love Allah azza wa jal is beautiful. Now, we move from this knowledge
into now an application of it. So if it says Allah loves beauty,
		
00:31:43 --> 00:32:29
			we said that there is physical beauty and there is non physical beauty and the most important beauty
that Allah loves is the beauty of iman. And the beauty of Taqwa the beauty of good character. So
some people misunderstand it in a sense, when we say Allah loves beauty, meaning, any kind of thing
that I consider beautiful. Any kind of form that I consider beautiful is beautiful. And so Allah
loves it. We say no, that's, that's not that's not the case. You need to understand Lasota to
understand what type of beauty Allah has Odin likes. So Allah has a definition. And people have
definitions. And not every human definition of beauty is beautiful to Allah. Because humans will
		
00:32:29 --> 00:33:08
			tell you, Oh, this is beautiful. But it may not be for Allah azza wa jal. So you need to understand
what is beautiful for Allah, to know if it's right or it's wrong. So most essential beauty is what
the beauty of Iman and Taqwa and the Prophet sal Allahu Allahu alayhi wa sallam said in Allah that
younger you that's what he called was Sammy come, Allah does not look at your bodies and does not
look at your faces. Well, like in Yoruba, either when you become an American, but Allah looks at
your hearts and your deeds, meaning the primary place that Allah cares about. It's not how fit you
are, or how beautiful you are, or how you take care of your body and take care of your skin. And I'm
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:17
			not telling you that you shouldn't be taking care of your body and taking care of your skin. But
it's telling you to Allah azza wa jal, it does not matter.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			It doesn't,
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:55
			which is good and bad for some people, for some people good because he say, Well, I'm not considered
to be beautiful. So that said, I don't really need to worry about that. People are obsessed with it,
on free of it. And for some people, if you're living simply to look beautiful, that just takes away
how you've defined your life, but for but that will be good. Because we need to find a different
definition of it. So that's the most essential type of beauty. Now external beauty can be beauty for
Allah azza wa jal and can be beauty for the sake of pride and conceit.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:34:24
			Meaning you can beautify yourself, and there's good reason for it. And you can beautify yourself,
and there could be a terrible reason behind it. So a person Who beautifies himself let's say, you
will live in Amman, who was in Atacama colinas did all you have Iman adorn yourself when you come
into the house of Allah azza wa jal so if especially males but females in terms of modesty, but
especially males, so he says if I'm going to work,
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			right, I dress up
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:33
			or for interview I dress up. If I'm coming to the masjid to meet Allah azza wa jal
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:43
			then I should do the same. Why to honor the masjid and to honor the Salah. So if you remember right
when he had
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			let me go to it here
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			so called with NASA, this is on page 2223.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			So when NASA
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			Rahim Allah Allah when he
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			He was of numerous students.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:10
			And nothing was praying. And he has had clothes on. He has just one piece crane covered in his IRA.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:32
			And then he's asking him or Omar, he asked, he says, Don't you have two pieces like a two piece
suit? Don't you have that, like I gave that to you? He said, Yes. He said, Why aren't you wearing
that when you're praying? He said, If I were to send you to some of the people in Medina, to talk to
them to bring something with them, would you leave the house like this?
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:48
			Right? You get what he's saying? He says, Would you leave the house like this? He says no, because
it would not be fitting to leave the house like visual to talk to important people like that. He
says it's Allah as though one is more worthy of beautification than people
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			see the standards right?
		
00:35:52 --> 00:36:29
			So he staying what honor the Salah by actually dressing up when you want to pray. So when we saying
when you come to Juma dress nice, when you come to eat, dress nice. Why is it just a celebration?
Because this is Salah is given to Allah azza wa jal, Allah loves beauty and he wants to see that you
actually care about all of this. So there is this beautification is a good thing of unification of a
spouse for her and his or his spouse, and, and for his woman or a woman for her man, to be beautiful
for them. Why is that?
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:39
			Because if you're beautiful, then you're more likely to love each other be intimate, and he or she
are more or less likely to commit haram outside.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:49
			So that is what beautification. That is a good thing. There's beautification for to attract
attention
		
00:36:51 --> 00:37:01
			of strangers, attract attention of people simply so that you want to feel better about yourself, you
want to stand out. Is that beautification good? No.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:30
			That's just pride. That's just arrogance, destroy, wanting to stand out and in Islam, that you're
not supposed to act with such an intention. So there is good external beautification, there is bad
external beautification. That what determines that is that if the inside is good, it will lead you
towards what's right. If the inside is bad, then you're gonna want to do what displeases Allah azza
wa jal on the outside as it is on the inside.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:46
			So we have when we want to beautify, we have to beautify with an intention. And we have to also
believe that Islamic commands, Islamic guidelines, Islamic prohibitions are beautiful.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:54
			Okay, any there was a time was still us focus on mental but there was a time when having a beard was
ugly.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:57
			Right.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:02
			So I don't know if you remember that or not. You remember a time when having a beard was ugly.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:18
			There was a time right? Like if they would people would show I mean, talking about Western. And of
course, if something is true in the West, it's true in most other countries in the world, but if
they see it with a broad use, I suspect so was ugly.
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			And now is it still
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			is fashionable now.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:39:07
			See how the standards shift of what is right and what is wrong. So you have to believe that despite
what people think that Islam is beautiful, and what Allah commands is beautiful because it's coming
from Oh, beautiful. So dressing the way that Allah wants you to dress walking the way that Allah
wants you to walk speaking the way that Allah wants you to speak. Your prayer years ago, your Hajj
is beautiful, and you have to believe that it's beautiful, you have no doubt about it. And when you
believe that it's beautiful, you will be filled with beauty on the inside, can you say this is the
best thing that is there? I cannot be guided to a more beautiful act or a beautiful beautiful saying
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			unless Allah has guided me to it and Allah did.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:32
			So you'd be proud of it, happy to have it and to propagate it. So hijab is beautiful, not just as a
slogan. I just beautiful. Why is it beautiful? Because Allah the most beautiful wanted? The liquid
of Allah is beautiful. Because without it what would I be saying? Imagine if Allah deprived you of
the Quran?
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:58
			What would occupy your tongue? Imagine if Allah did not give you the insight of saying Subhan Allah
will hamdulillah ADA Allah. Allahu Akbar, Allah Allah. Allah forbid the iLab in Stafford Allah,
Allah my Sunday was cinnamon. If that beauty is absent, what would your tongue be doing and saying,
you would lie you would cheat. Here would insult you would be vulgar, you would be obscene
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			because you
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			Your tongue has not been cleansed. Right?
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:29
			So Subhan Allah, Allah Azza wa Jalla has imbued all of us with beauty, the more that you take of the
Sharia, the more beautiful you become in your character in how you deal with people. And that is
what these habits are talking about, that you should become more beautiful, because you have the
more beautiful for the most beautiful as your Creator, and as your guide, and the one who had
revealed to all of these things to you.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:40
			By the way, a point that is actually not in the book and I was thinking about it as I was reading
it. All of us have an intense desire for beauty.
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:52
			We're attracted to it internally and external beauty and internal beauty. You agree with me? We have
that yearning for beauty. But you understand why we have that yearning for beauty
		
00:40:53 --> 00:41:04
			because it's supposed to drive you towards home. Allah azza wa jal because you're forever we'll be
looking for the beautiful,
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:12
			beautiful, let's call it beautiful food, beautiful drink. Beautiful destinations. Beautiful people.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			What is the problem with all of that beauty?
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:32
			Even the beauty in yourself when you look at value to yourself in the mirror and if you're still
young, you look at you admire Masha Allah the skin mashallah the hair Masha Allah this, then five
years past 10 years past when you use pass as a must. And what happens to that beauty
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:54
			says to go away. So what's the problem with worldly beauty starts to go away. So if you are a person
who judges himself only based on that beauty or only seeking that beauty can be devastated. But that
beauty is supposed to lead you to Allah azza wa jal who is the old beautiful, so you cannot wait
until you see the source of all beauty.
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:57
			And that would be a beautiful time.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:12
			It would be a beautiful and you have reached that destination. It's as if you're saying your Allah
azza wa jal, I've been looking and looking and looking. And now finally I've seen you. Finally I've
arrived. I don't have to look anymore.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:18
			So that's why the people have genuine they look at Allah as though did they don't want anything
else?
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:43
			So how about seeking worldly beauty? So we talked about external beautification, as something that
could be good or something that could be bad, depending on the intention? What do you want to do
with it? How about seeking worldly beauty without really a bad intention, or a good intention, I see
something nice, and I want to buy it. You say first of all, Allah azza wa jal had given us this
natural desire for beauty, you can't stop it.
		
00:42:44 --> 00:43:14
			And you shouldn't stop it. You need it needs to be fulfilled. That's why when you want to get
married, you're supposed to and it's sooner for you to look at that potential mate of yours to see
that if there is some attraction, because you will be attracted to them as they are attracted to
you. So that should be there. So that's Hallen. But what you're supposed to do with it is regulated,
not eradicated, but regulated. So regulate. It's how, as he said, Alayhi Salatu was Salam. And that
hadith is there.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:16
			Could be washed out of water. So
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:26
			as long as there is no what is lawful or Mahila. He says, Eat and drink and don't eat, as long as
you avoid two things is suave, wasteful, Miss ortholite.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:41
			So see, for instance, a nice pair of shoes. Do I buy them? Or do I not? They're beautiful, they look
nice. Do I buy them or not? He say you're allowed to buy them, as long as you avoid what?
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:49
			wastefulness, so you're not wasteful. So pair of shoes that cost $5,000.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:54
			What are you wasteful, right, you just buying a brand.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:44:13
			Where whereas something that could cause 200 300 500 could do the job so wasteful and also what
pride Oh, because I bought it I'm better than you because I bought it's not in I'm in the room, I
feel all the owl eyes looking at me. This is a be a terrible thing to buy.
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:18
			You want to give that away a terrible thing to buy because it corrupts you here.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:59
			And what a tragedy for you tell the take a name of Allah as a surgeon and buy something that poisons
your soul. So, at the same time, as we said, it's allowed, and beauty is good at the same time.
Humbleness is nice to humbleness is nice, modesty is nice, meaning I could buy things that could
cost $1,000 Or I could buy something that could cause far less than that. And we'll do the same
thing. And I will do this terrazzo Anila here as part of humility to Allah as Odin because I don't
want arrogance. I don't want to corrupt my heart. So I'll give up that thing for the sake of Allah
zodion Here is where you will be
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			I'm the judge and the doctor.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:07
			Because in Islam, right, Allah zodion gives you leeway.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:51
			There's a way to maneuver from here to there. It's not the Haram on this side and it's not the Haram
on this, this side. But in between, there will be some people who will need to buy expensive things
not wasteful, but not being wasteful, but expensive things it fits their budget fits the Rankin
society, they just need to have this and they like beauty. We say as long as it's had I'll go ahead
and there are people who could do without this and they can give it up for the sake of Allah azza wa
jal and that fits their personality and fits their station in life. And the core language has been
who are more Lea each has a destination that they will follow. Alright, what works for you may not
		
00:45:51 --> 00:46:04
			necessarily work for another person, but you avoid the extremes and you avoid the haram. So Haram is
ugly, absolutely, and Hala, and the commands of Allah zodion are beautiful.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:09
			So he says humbleness is desirable.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:27
			And showing Allah's blessings is desirable. As Allah says, well, being and material because of a
hadith, speak about the name of Allah as noted that he had given to you and in the Hadith that we
read, which is the hadith of Luke chapter, Allah blah, blah, are you believing and books are about
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:35
			showcasing reflecting poverty or pretending to be poor? Meaning if Allah has given you
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:51
			money, the look a reflection of that be seen on your in what you wear, so that when people see you,
they will say what Allah has given him this person, something that's a part of gratitude.
		
00:46:52 --> 00:47:04
			That's part of gratitude. Because think about it, if you will, shabby clothes, the worst that you
find, with patches on them, people will look at you and say, What, he doesn't have anything.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:08
			And if everybody does that, everybody looks poor.
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:53
			And it's as if Allah azza wa jal gave nobody anything. But you are rich, and you have money, and you
can wear better things. So where are these things to be grateful to Allah azza wa jal so that not
everybody is complaining through what they are wearing about their Creator. This is what you find in
your closet and you can't afford anything better. This this is it. This is it. Any like what Omar
Wali, Allah who I know they can count the patches on his clothes, right? This is what he had is not
was not purposeful. It didn't have like nice suits. And he would say what I'm wearing this, no, it's
not legitimate. It's not Islamic, right? To wear the worst thing that you could find. That's not it,
		
00:47:53 --> 00:48:00
			as it is also not Islamic to wear the best thing that you could find to boast about it. But to be
were
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:10
			to move in the middle to move in the middle. He say Okay, where's the middle? Where's beauty?
unconfused Islam is your compass.
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:48
			Because not Muslims have their own compass. And some Muslims have a different compass. What is your
compass who's going to tell you? I'm confused. Allah tells you, you're not going to be confused. The
prophet that is salatu salam tells you, he's not going to be confused. That's why when he saw
somebody, a man, and he was dressed in a very poorly, and the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam. He
says, Do you have money? Did Allah give you money? And he says, Yes, he did. He says what type of
money he says all types of money I have. He says Allah azza wa jal wants to see the trace of what he
had favored you with on you to something decent, still humble, but something decent. And one benefit
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:53
			of that is, those who are in need would know that you have so they can come.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:49:28
			And we can ask you, and you could help them. But if everybody pretends to be poor, it'd be as if
Allah azza wa jal blessed no one. And there are those. That's also tough a beauty no matter what
you're going through, there are those who when you ask them, how's your life, what's going on?
They'll complain and they'll start to list for you all the things that are going wrong with them and
with the world the prices are rising crime, this and that. And you feel your chest getting tight
after listening to them, because they're not grateful.
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:59
			They only see the negative. The how is this a reflection of Allah's favours when the only thing that
you have, you know, this hurts me and that hurts me and this gets your tongue used to looking at
what is good and praising Allah Zildjian for it, it doesn't mean that if you have something, you
can't complain about it from time to time, you can't seek people's advice. You could do this. But if
you're the type of person who's always complaining about rising prices, about the crime about this
and that
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:26
			Not that it isn't Allah is that it also giving you good things in your life? Do you talk about this
or not? Do you want this person who have just listened to you to feel also miserable about his own
life? Or when he hears and I don't know if you experienced this or not, when somebody you ask
somebody about their life and say Alhamdulillah I have this and I have this and I have that and you
immediately feel better see, oh you the world is still okay.
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:39
			Where we our the wise the other person the world is on again and and you feel worse because of so
the grateful teach you gratitude and the ungrateful also teach you a lack of gratitude. So
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:51
			showcase Allah's blessings but also within the realm of halal and haram don't say you know, I'm
gonna look beautiful.
		
00:50:52 --> 00:51:24
			For the sisters I'm gonna look beautiful. I'm going to be putting makeup on. I'm going to go outside
why sister? This is beautiful and Allah loves beauty. Oh, you're going against Allah as noted by
doing this, you're using your own logic as part of a hadith, but the prophets allottee was a no,
doesn't did not see that. So adding beauty to our lives and that's the last section insha Allah and
today's talk. So when you worship Allah xojo through the name, that is the beautiful, so you
approach him Subhana wa Tada through that knee.
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:49
			Then you want to reflect that beauty in how you live. Just like when Allah says Allah to hit Boonah
I says well yeah for Well yes. For what Allah to hit buena. Yeah, fear Allah Allah. He says, Let
them forgive and forget. Don't you want Allah to forgive you? So he see how Allah azza wa jal says
here that if you want to be forgiven, you're supposed to do what?
		
00:51:50 --> 00:52:07
			Forgive. So if you know Allah as the most forgiving, you also have to be a forgiving person. If you
know Allah has Zodac to be a raw him or Rahim Rockman the prophets Allah Allah was an emphasis of
Rahim Allah your family.
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:18
			So those who are merciful will receive the mercy from the Most Merciful. So when you approach Allah
azza wa jal imagining your Salah, and you see Allahu Akbar,
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:28
			Muhammad hamdulillah Your Beloved, I mean our Walkman and it stands out, man, you're standing in
front of a rock man. What do you want from a Rahman Rahim?
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:37
			crossmatch right this will call on him with a Rahman Al Rahim. So afterwards Salah if you want Rama,
you're supposed to have Rama.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:53:05
			Otherwise how are you asking Allah for him and you're not even giving a little bit of Rama to those
who are around you. So you have to give her so now if you worship Allah as your true the beautiful
Subhan Allah I am in the presence of the most beautiful and he's his words are the most beautiful.
And the feeling that I have with him is the most beautiful that you can imagine. Because Allah azza
wa jal and it says here, Allah subhanho wa taala. Right.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:12
			There is light from him. subhanho wa Taala that comes the weekend see, but there is divine light,
there is created light.
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:44
			But there is divine light. So if you just imagine yourself and can really fully imagined but imagine
yourself being immersed in the beauty of Allah and in that divine light, right? When we see Allah
azza wa jal on the Day of Judgment. Imagine yourself in that presence. So the words of Allah and His
presence and being close to him, that's all is beautiful. Then you're supposed to also to act in
beautiful manners. Geneva you have gold journal, he loves beauty, so loves beauty in what terms
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			loves beauty in terms of what you say
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:54
			was beauty in terms of your worship, loves God in terms of your behavior.
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:00
			And also the things that we talked about how you dress, but also your character.
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:11
			So if you're going to choose a word to say, and one is ugly, and the other is beautiful, if you
remember that Allah is beautiful, you pick the most beautiful one.
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:24
			We'll call that a body everybody acordo Lottie here Assam tell my servants to say what is best.
She'll say a beautiful thing. Not a thing that when you're angry will hurt the most. But will him
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:28
			and will illuminate and will inspire
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:45
			Subhan Allah if Allah has devoted his giving you that beauty, you want to absorb it and when you go
out in the world, you want to be beautiful in the world as well. That if Allah drops you in any
place, it becomes more beautiful because of you.
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:59
			Can you imagine right? It becomes more beautiful. It's like you shine light. You go into a
supermarket grocery store, it becomes better because of you not worse. You come into our Masjid it
becomes better because of you
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:47
			You come inside your house better because of you, you walk in the street. It's better because of you
because you have this light of Eman, that beauty that is reflected. You find a piece of garbage you
take it and you throw it away in the dumpster. You never throw it away in the streets. What because
that's not beautiful. You're waiting for the traffic sign to cross. And the pedestrian sign did not
come on yet. And there's no one left no one there. But you say what is dignified? Because Allah azza
wa jal loves Madeon or more nobility, and he waits what low things, say you're supposed to be a
noble person. You don't need to have the title of Sir, to be a noble person. That's a you know, a
		
00:55:47 --> 00:56:29
			noble person who I see Allah seeing me and Allah loves the best of deeds, I'll wait for that sign
but no one around. No, it doesn't matter. That's the beauty that I will reflect. Because Allah
subhanaw taala is watching me, when you give people sadaqa you'll be the most beautiful and giving
sadaqa hiding it from them. So that evade that it's so that even your right hand when your left hand
does not know what your right hand is spending. So beautiful in your a bad, beautiful in your
speech, beautiful in your treatment of your family and your children beautiful and dealing with all
other people. So the more that you know Allah azza wa jal to be the beautiful, the more that you
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:38
			will be beautiful yourself. So beautiful in your goals. What do you want to do? The boat most
beautiful, have goals and think big.
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:51
			And think big and think beautiful. I want to do these beautiful things for the sake of Allah xuejun
It does not matter whether you reach your goal or not what matters it was for you to have one and
you work for it.
		
00:56:52 --> 00:57:42
			And to live a life that is trying to fulfill that beauty that you got from Allah azza wa jal and to
be what as he says, carry when you Hebrew Khurana, he loves the generous, so Allah is generous, and
he loves the generous. So be the person who gives, but does not demand does not take but He is the
giver be the person who forgives, not the person who offense be the person who is close to Allah
azza wa jal through that name, which is the beautiful. So I hope that this lecture in sha Allah had
helped us kind of correct some if we didn't have the right image of Allah as to have a better image
of him Subhana who were to Allah as the most splendid as the most beautiful, and to think about
		
00:57:42 --> 00:58:16
			about him in those terms, and to start approaching him in those terms, because that starts so
opening our venues by which you're able to other words by which you're able to reach Allah subhanho
wa taala. So inshallah hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen. If you have questions, let me know and again in
sha Allah for anybody who happened to come late, the book is available still available for sale at
the at the bank, it's probably going to be the last week when it's going to be available for sale
here in sha Allah so let me know if you have questions or to
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:20
			come qualicum Salam
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:29
			so
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:31
			yeah.
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:35
			Like how,
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:40
			I guess the state's beauty and goodness, you
		
00:58:41 --> 00:59:01
			know, so he's saying that some repeating the question so he's saying that beauty is in the eye of
the beholder. And we know that the Quran and Sunnah define beauty, real beauty for us, but you don't
have access to that knowledge if you're a non Muslim. So if you're non Muslim, you're asking how do
we how do they judge?
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:51
			Nam so can they if a person is non Muslim, can they come to the conclusion or realization of what is
beautiful? Only through the Quran and Sunnah. So we say that there is beauty that you could realize
based on instincts based on Fifth lot based on your own perception that be common to everybody. So
it's very hard to find somebody criticizing sunset and raw sunrises. Criticizing maybe a green lush
lens is very hard to find that because a it's appealing to I would say everybody or at least let's
say the vast majority of them base as we said on intellect based on fitrah and fit the role plays a
key role in the innate nature that we have. So everybody loves those who are honest, that's a beauty
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:59
			non physical beauty. You say well, how come because Allah is a instituted that as a fistula, so
there is one that is let's call it stable
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:30
			The Mind and the Heart and instincts can lead to them. And there are some that are fluctuating or
more hidden. So not everybody who's going to look at a hijab is going to see that that's beautiful.
Or a bearded man will say that that's beautiful. All of a sudden, I will say that that's beautiful.
So these are things that unless Allah teaches you, you will not see it. So Allah needs to remove the
veil, and educate and only then will you realize that it's beautiful. And then we will get it to go
and get to know attention. And particle law.
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:32
			Yes.
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:36
			Right.
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:38
			Shall okay.
		
01:00:52 --> 01:01:33
			So the question is that, so for business can we spend on decorating the interior of the business to
attract customers, right? So, it's business modeling and beautification? And the answer is yes, that
is within the realm of the haram. As long as there's nothing haram in it explicitly haram video on
how to do this, and that's business, right? So in order to attract, it needs to look beautiful. And
sometimes, you know, even if you have the proper intention behind it, and you do need to think about
how you can connect this to Allah azza wa jal, any acts could be an act of worship. So it's possible
also to make it that but just to answer your question directly, are law limits permissible? Yeah.
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:35
			The second question
		
01:01:41 --> 01:01:43
			so how do we beautify ourselves?
		
01:01:45 --> 01:01:46
			In meeting people
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:51
			having the intention to please Allah azote?
		
01:02:01 --> 01:02:30
			So if a person that's a good question to so if meeting people if I'm going to beautify myself, a dog
myself to meet this person, so what kind of intention should I have to make this for the sake of
Allah azza wa jal? So first of all, even if you just do it for the sake of meeting that person,
that's permissible. Okay. Now, the question here is How do I make it for the sake of Allah azza wa
jal. So if you see that this person is a brother or sister in Allah, and in meeting them, I want to
honor them.
		
01:02:32 --> 01:03:08
			And I want to honor them for the sake of Allah as though did because you're supposed to suppose that
you perceive him as a guest honoring them, is part of Islam. So I will honor them to listen to the
Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam so that they would feel welcome, they would feel special. So why do
you cook for a guest? To won't be feeling me and make them feel welcome. So why do you dress up when
you want to meet the guests, to make them feel that they are welcome and special? So if you can add
this to the prophets a lot, it was cinnamon, praising Allah, that becomes a badass that becomes for
the sake of Allah. But if it is, absent that intention, it's still permissible.
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:12
			Third question.
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:25
			wasn't great in January, the beauty time?
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:57
			So what she did I can do? And how can living a life? Right? So again, the question is that if a
person is afflicted with a calamity, and they are so troubled by it, that they cannot see the beauty
of what is happening to them? So how can people around them give them advice? Help them see that
beauty? And what can they do to see that beauty? So, again, good question. And those are three good
questions vertical off.
		
01:03:58 --> 01:04:08
			So it may not be possible for a person who's being tested at the moment of testing, to see the
beauty of their testing.
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:12
			That's not the obligation on them. So you have two things.
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:48
			Do you have sub and you have riddle just keep that in mind. And I like these things because again,
the structure your mind, so that whenever you're confused about something or you're lost, you go
back to the basics right? Because the world is what take right then left then right then you know if
either lost right, left, right, so this is thing Sava River, remember that. So if a calamity comes,
there are two things that you could do. While three you could be agitated and an impatient with
basses out. We don't want that but the two things that are pleasing to Allah, patient or contempt.
		
01:04:49 --> 01:04:51
			Patients patience is an obligation.
		
01:04:52 --> 01:04:57
			Contentment is recommended. Contentment is you seeing the beauty
		
01:04:58 --> 01:04:59
			so if a person is in the
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:16
			bit of it and you say I can't see the beauty we say, Wait, that's not an obligation on you. You can
get to it inshallah. But just be patient, because patients will lead you to it. So that's the first
step. Somebody lost their child. How could you at that moment see the beauty in it?
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:34
			How could do by the way, there's a beautiful Hadith about it, but I'm not going to bring it right
now I'm gonna tell you about it is going to come later. But how could you see the beauty in it. So
in the beginning, what you're required to do is what the patient so hold back, anything bad saying
anything,
		
01:05:35 --> 01:06:19
			or doing anything back that displeases, Allah has xojo. And asking Allah for support and asking
Allah for guidance, and just being patient with it, and so on, and so on, and so on. And then in
time, as the pain decreases, you'll begin to see the light, you'll begin to see possibilities of why
Allah as though didn't may have done this, and the benefit that you may receive from it. And then
you eventually surface and you could see beauty in the things that Allah had created. But it might
be too much to ask that person at that moment, to behold the beauty of what is happening, because
it's very difficult. So we can't ask everybody to do this. It's a process. Maybe some people after a
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:34
			lot of striving, and self purification, maybe they can see it, hypothetically, maybe as soon as it
happens. But it doesn't mean that Beholding the Beauty of Allah Zildjian everything does not mean
that they will still be sad.
		
01:06:35 --> 01:07:20
			Because sadness is a natural human reaction. And when the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam, the loved
ones were dying or about to die, he salonu send them cry, he shed tears. So that's a natural human
reaction, but at the same time, you could also see the other side. So for that person, we say, just
simply try to be patient hold on to the robot, Allah zodion Remember Allah will compensate you keep
asking for support keep making dua, and the others around him keep supporting him or her in that
fashion. And keep reminding them that Allah azza wa jal has the best for them in the next life that
whatever they've lost is going to be compensated. And in this life if you are patient Allah will
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:27
			also compensate and then with time the pain will go away and you'll be able to see a clearer picture
in the last
		
01:07:29 --> 01:07:34
			so I think we're done on this side so for men side anything else
		
01:07:48 --> 01:07:49
			some
		
01:07:50 --> 01:07:51
			really saw was
		
01:07:57 --> 01:07:57
			not
		
01:07:58 --> 01:08:39
			so a saying that we can see people we can see we'll see Allah as they did on the day of judgment.
And we I add to your question is that no one is supposed to see Allah azza wa jal while life on this
earth, no one sees him. But he says there are some narrations where the prophet and there's actually
a hadith of the prophets a lot it was said to be I saw Allah as noted in a dream. So he says, what
kind of site is that? And he did he see Allah azza wa jal, as Allah azza wa jal is, right on the Day
of Judgment. We see this as what this is a vision that is a Dream Vision. And we don't know what
image he said he saw out of his Salatu was Sudan, but that image is not exactly the image of Allah
		
01:08:39 --> 01:09:15
			azza wa jal as he is on a day of judgment. Because in a dream, dreams are symbolic. Right? So you
could see something that means something else. So he saw an image of a Salatu was Salam, he saw an
image that is Allah xojo Because the children cannot manipulate the dreams of prophets. So he saw an
image that is Allah has zoomed it, he didn't describe it. But it does not mean that that is what
that image is, what Allah is like, but that is just simply what he saw in a dream. And since he did
not explain, we have absolutely no access to what he saw. So we'll leave it at that.
		
01:09:17 --> 01:09:19
			But there was another hand Yeah.
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:23
			Okay, no promise will be answered. But go ahead
		
01:09:31 --> 01:09:31
			yeah.
		
01:09:34 --> 01:09:36
			Although Yeah,
		
01:09:38 --> 01:09:46
			I mean, I mean, I'm not going to repeat your question. I just the answer I give you if it's a must.
It's a must. Right then if it's the law, it's the law. What can you do with it?
		
01:09:49 --> 01:09:50
			I didn't know how you're going to punish
		
01:09:52 --> 01:09:59
			me then. I'm no but I mean, this is really an outside question. Really. So don't get us in trouble.
BarakAllahu Zakka love it.
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:02
			by anybody here the men's side
		
01:10:03 --> 01:10:05
			here of course of course rafter
		
01:10:11 --> 01:10:13
			he was unable to
		
01:10:14 --> 01:10:15
			be patient with
		
01:10:17 --> 01:10:20
			you he couldn't see I guess the hitbox.
		
01:10:24 --> 01:10:25
			And in the end, like
		
01:10:26 --> 01:10:29
			I linked to this conversation how he had
		
01:10:31 --> 01:10:31
			a chat
		
01:10:32 --> 01:10:34
			being patient with me Stop
		
01:10:36 --> 01:10:37
			it Musa was shooting
		
01:10:39 --> 01:11:18
			know. So he the question is that he's saying that Musa alayhis salaam in Surah Al calf was unable to
be patient with the actions of another Rahima Saddam. And so if Musa the high ranking prophet of
Allah as Odin was unable to be patient, what chance do we have to be able to be patient? Right? So,
of course, I'll have the right to hold him in the Columbia South EMR your software, you won't be
able to be patient with me. So he told them and he predicted that because how could you be patient
with something that you don't have no knowledge of? So if any one of us would be put in mooses
position, he said, we would not be able to be patient. The thing is that first, Allah azza wa jal
		
01:11:18 --> 01:12:00
			did not put us in a situation like that of Musa because it's fully inexplicable, like what Musa saw
defies any explanation. We can't really appreciate that because we know the story. So when you're
reading the story, you always know what comes next. But if you take that out, and you see something
that looks what a contradiction, you will never be able to be patient with it, how could they do
this and you react lightweight, so nobody could be patient with that, because it just simply does
not make sense. So Allah is not going to subject you to that test with Musa alayhis salam was
subjected to, because that defies all like sense. In what see what you see, doesn't make sense. So
		
01:12:00 --> 01:12:40
			it's not going to give you that. So that's one second, Allah azza wa jal tests each person in
accordance to the email, so not going to give you something that's going to destroy you, your email
is like this means if he gives it to you is within reach, is within capacity, right for you to
withstand it. Another person whose email is higher will give them more. So don't be afraid that oh,
we will be tested and will not be able to be patient, Allah tests you and He knows what you can
take. The third also is that we are usually tested with things that we expect, we anticipate and we
witnessed it around us. So we know that I could lose my business because other people did, I could
		
01:12:40 --> 01:13:10
			lose my money. I know other people have done that. I could lose a child of mine, because I know of
others who have done that. So it doesn't come as a complete and total surprise, though, if it
happens when it happens. It seems like it's unexpected. But you find support in the sense of you're
not the only person who's suffering and it is happening and will happen to other people and you
could seek support from them. So you could hear from someone Yeah, I lost the last like yours. And
this is how I dealt with it. And that makes it easy. That's what it is.
		
01:13:19 --> 01:13:34
			Yeah, as long as the company is huddled, I'm not again repeating your question, right. So as long as
the question as the company What are you doing and it is halal, but they choose to do who these
things does not affect you. Right? There was a hand area
		
01:13:37 --> 01:13:38
			took questions
		
01:13:40 --> 01:13:40
			outside.
		
01:13:42 --> 01:13:46
			Oh, please go ahead. I haven't seen any signs that we should conclude.
		
01:13:56 --> 01:13:56
			But,
		
01:13:58 --> 01:14:01
			but since it's avoiding that, because it was taken.
		
01:14:02 --> 01:14:03
			So
		
01:14:06 --> 01:14:06
			natural
		
01:14:08 --> 01:14:09
			to them, was hard.
		
01:14:12 --> 01:14:24
			To reconcile beautifying for the sake of Allah azza wa jal, but at the same time, it could lead to a
fitna so fitna, like what when you go outside or I'm not sure what type of fitna that was
		
01:14:28 --> 01:14:28
			charity
		
01:14:49 --> 01:14:59
			thanks, no, no. So okay. So if you want to act in a beautiful manner, and you mentioned in here,
charity giving sadaqa and sometimes when
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:22
			You want to give sadaqa you will stop and not give it because at times you may be afraid of people
miss judging and misinterpreting why you're what why you're giving it. So sometimes you just simply
don't give because of that, right? So, so let's answer it to like kind of in parts. So first thing
is that you don't want to make
		
01:15:24 --> 01:16:07
			people's judgment, the thing that stops you from doing good things I'm going to come to I mean, and
kind of qualify that. But you don't want it to be the thing that stops you from doing good things.
Because for a lot of things, everybody's watching. So coming to the masjid, you can't stop coming,
because people are watching, attending a Halacha, you can do this because people are doing the
giving sadaqa sometimes, because they issue here, sometimes with sadaqa, if you don't give it then
you won't give it later. So do I not give and deny myself the pleasure of giving the reward of
giving the sadaqa? Or do I fight with my intention. So if that deed cannot be will be missed, I
		
01:16:07 --> 01:16:14
			think if I don't do it, now, it will be missed. It's better for you to do it. And fight units.
		
01:16:15 --> 01:16:58
			Right fight units, otherwise will stop. So if I go and tell this person to do good or avoid harm, or
they'll think this and that about me better, I not say anything. So there's just nothing will stop
you from doing a lot of good things. So that's why I think it may be helpful DataBlock AR Allameh
Ruby Ashley and I'm really actually Nasiriya water cooler Family Readiness issue. So if you stop
doing it just for them, is also you're paying too much attention to them. Now if that deed can be
hidden, and when it's hidden, it's more fruitful, it's better for you and for others but maybe for
you then go ahead and hide it so sadaqa is another good example meaning if I give it publicly it's
		
01:16:58 --> 01:17:23
			the public side of class so I don't know about my intention I'm having to fight with it and what
have you, but I can hide it and later go and give it in secret and when I give it in secret My
intention is best so you can do that. So as long as that is not going to compromise the good that
you're doing will say you can hide it but if it is going to compromise it and there's more benefit
in that DDOT fight with yourself fight with your intention and do the good
		
01:17:28 --> 01:17:33
			okay, there's just one more online question and then we'll stop Oh you have something yeah
		
01:17:38 --> 01:17:39
			I was
		
01:17:46 --> 01:17:57
			kind of signal is of whenever I pick up what is I heard from one shaping give that what is not
allowed because I'm not getting the
		
01:17:58 --> 01:18:05
			means who's good sometimes I actually want to go go for the holiday
		
01:18:11 --> 01:18:13
			see what I'm doing
		
01:18:14 --> 01:18:28
			well in that case, I can't I can't say that this this is coming from this restaurant. It is coming
from that after speaking so many of the orders I will just get banned or
		
01:18:35 --> 01:18:45
			gauntlet is Sunday because I actually cancel those orders before knowing that I didn't do that but
after knowing that pain I have to do that because
		
01:18:46 --> 01:18:50
			aren't some people third question is what is halal or haram
		
01:18:56 --> 01:18:56
			he
		
01:18:58 --> 01:18:59
			called up
		
01:19:01 --> 01:19:02
			that's good
		
01:19:10 --> 01:19:12
			but they will not allow our hands
		
01:19:18 --> 01:19:19
			nation
		
01:19:20 --> 01:19:23
			I'm working a dishwasher in a company.
		
01:19:26 --> 01:19:32
			Well, they don't give us our household always. They have some good idea. Basil. Sounds good. So
okay.
		
01:19:35 --> 01:19:59
			Work for as a dishwasher. I mean, dishwasher dishwasher. That's fine, right? I mean, you're not
serving the food, right? You're just cleaning the dishes. So it's fine, right? Doesn't matter really
what they sell, and you're cleaning them right? So you're not really kind of taken on an adjuster or
whatever they are doing right. For the question that I'll answer your actual privately insured.
Right. I'll answer you and show the private
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:00
			Looks like
		
01:20:01 --> 01:20:03
			there was one question here
		
01:20:18 --> 01:20:30
			so the extremes, right and beautification, right? So I think we've met when we maybe when we have
mentioned, so any haram that that exists at the edge right are the sides of beautification. That is
an extreme. So
		
01:20:32 --> 01:20:51
			wearing loose clothing, you think, well, that's not really fashionable next time, you're beautiful,
but Thai clothings are beautiful, because that's fashionable, that's going to an extreme. So even if
people consider that to be beautiful, in your eyes, that should be ugly, could be beautiful inside
the house. But outside when you're exposing all of that to people that should be considered ugly.
		
01:20:52 --> 01:21:33
			Wearing flashy colors, right? Something that is white, that will attract people's attention. And you
look at it and you say, Wow, this is beautiful, beautiful, again, on the inside for a female right
next to her husband, around maybe some of them haram where it's appropriate to Muharram. But outside
for you, you will say no Allah's definition of this, this is ugly, even though there's some beauty
in it, but I can see this beauty in one place. Outside of it, it will be extreme. So everything that
is haram will be considered that that's the extreme that you want to avoid. So is that the I'm
sorry? Is that the avoid? Sorry. So you say, tell us about the extreme and tell us about being
		
01:21:33 --> 01:21:33
			wasteful.
		
01:21:42 --> 01:21:47
			Okay, to neglectful I don't know what but that mean wasteful. I mean,
		
01:21:48 --> 01:21:49
			again, wasteful, it depends on
		
01:21:52 --> 01:22:34
			the custom, the convention, your money, your status, all of this. So the person who could buy
something that is worth $50. For some other people, this is very wasteful, because they don't have
that much money. So it depends on your rank, it does really depend on your rank, but of some things
that are really clear. So as we said, for instance, a car that is going to cost 200,000 Okay,
300,000 half a million dollars, that is very clear that this is very wasteful, something that you
don't need, but you're buying for the name, not the function, but the name to be seen to be noticed.
That's very wasteful. Or some people for instance, when they invite other people to eat and they
		
01:22:34 --> 01:23:08
			have so much food that they know that a lot of it is going to be thrown away that is being wasteful.
So that's not beautification. So beautification is honor the guests but don't waste Allah's NEMA so
whenever you see that you're doing something that in your mind looks wasteful but some of the
consequences is that it leads into haram know that you've crossed into an extreme so that's that's I
think a good guideline inshallah Plame inshallah Zuckerman law Halo which we know and hear Subhanak
along with him dig a shadow lie in the stuff it'll go to go they called him to lie or Bill
		
01:23:40 --> 01:23:41
			Congressman was
		
01:23:44 --> 01:23:45

01:23:52 --> 01:23:54
			Will it happen on Friday
		
01:24:05 --> 01:24:06
