Muslema Purmul – Beauty And Seduction In Islam

And you should feel beautiful in your hijab, but you should not

feel sexy.

And that's a different concept. That's a different concept

altogether, and that's ugly, and that's seductive and that's

harmful. Seduction as a concept is something where the person who is

seeking to do it is seeking to control someone else's behavior.

It's not goodwill. Goodwill comes from a desire to give and let

people be good and to be in a good state. And it's consideration, and

it's wanting them to be safe. It's wanting them to be protected.

That's goodwill. Seduction is I want this person to be affected by

me in a way where I can control you know that interaction as an

example I like to use sometimes with young people, is in the movie

Lord of the Rings.

What does the elf queen? Is it Lady caladria? What does the elf

Queen say when they put the ring of power, when Frodo puts the ring

of power in her hand?

What does she say? Essentially, the ring represents the voice of

shaytaan. Right? What is, what is, what is her sisters? What is our

enemy? Telling us? What is our enemy tempting us with, tempting

us with,

I want all men to look at me and despair.

That is the voice of shaytaan. It's seduction, and it comes from

needing to have power over other people. And it is not even like a

more, I mean, a more benign intention would be that a sister

just wants to get married and have a spouse. That's a benign

intention. But this is, I don't even care about you, but I want

you to be desperate for me.

That is evil, that is, that is, that is quintessentially evil. And

that's, you know, a society that's, again, the Western society

really promotes the culture of seduction, and it promotes the

seducers, you know, that so and so can be this. You know, they're so

powerful because they can do this, this female actress or that male

actor. And we are the opposite. We have a completely different

paradigm. And the Prophet Muhammad SAW, he said that every religion

has a distinct characteristic, and the distinct characteristic of

Islam is Hayat.

So again, Hayat coming from Goodwill, from actually not

wanting to harm creation, from wanting that creation to be at

peace with it, with its brother and its sister. And that doesn't

mean that if a person again, because everything has to be this

is like a very, you know, thick topic. If someone is not intending

to be seductive and someone else is attracted to them, that's not

your fault. And in Islam, being beautiful is not a wrong

intention. So in Allah, that Allah is beautiful, and he loves beauty.

Beauty is a very important spiritual concept in Islam, and a

man or a woman can and can and should feel like before they leave

the house. They should look presentable. They should have a

beautiful appearance. There's nothing that is wrong with this

concept, but they should never intend seduction, because

seduction is harm. And we have to separate the two in a society that

doesn't separate the two, and we have to separate the two, even in

Eastern cultures that don't separate the two, all right, so

you separate the two, and that every morning a sister, when she's

wearing her clothing, she should feel beautiful, even with hijab,

even with you know, hijab is not about covering beauty, as we call

it. Hijab is redefining what beauty is. Hijab is saying, I'm

going to be I'm going to do what is beautiful to Allah, and so you

adorn yourself with clothing that is beautiful. You.
