Are the Bologna ship on the regime is number 30
Only me Nina say little more me Nina to the believing men. Yo boo they should lower men of Saudi him some of their gazes were for Lu and they should guard Furuya home their private parts. Why? Then Iike that meaning lowering some of their gazes and guarding their private parts that is as gala home pure for them
in the Lucha indeed Allah Habib one he is aware be my Elsner own with whatever they craft with whatever they do. And this is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is being addressed, that you are rasool Allah, you tell the believing men, you instruct them. If you think about it, Allah subhanaw taala he could have given this command directly just like the previous command, yeah, you Alladhina amanu right. This command could have been given in the same way. But instead Allah is asking His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to tell the believers
because what does this ensure that this command is from Allah, and from His Messenger, this command is from Allah and from His messenger. In this as an honor for the prophets, Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam, because he is being told to give the command and at the same time there is more aged for us, because when we will observe this command, we are obeying Allah and we are obeying the messenger there's double benefit.
And at the same time, we learn about the importance of this command. The fact that Allah is telling His Messenger to convey this command to us, that this command is coming from Allah and His messenger. You know, for example, if something is mentioned in the Quran, and it is also mentioned in the Sunnah
does not carry so much weight, as opposed to something that is mentioned only in the Sunnah. Or only in the Quran. I mean, even that, of course has weighed but when a particular issue is mentioned, both in the Quran and the Sunnah, then it's very strong. There is no avoiding it.
There is no getting away with it. You have to do it. So ya rasool Allah SallAllahu sallam, you tell the believing men, two things, first of all, that the believing men should your whole booming up Saudi him. Your whole goal is from Rob, line, blood, blood. And love is to lower to cast down. All right, a lot literally means Kisara to shorten, what does it mean, to shorten to reduce something? So for example, the eyes of the eyes is to wrinkle the eyelids. So do that wrinkle your eyelids like draw the eyelids together?
Like make sure that there's wrinkles on your eyes? Okay, up and down. When you do that, is your vision reduced? Is it reduced? Yes. As opposed to having your eyes wide open. When your eyes are wide open, you can see everywhere. But when your eyelids are wrinkled, when they're contracted when your eyes are contracted, then your vision is reduced. Right? So got them bustle, what does it mean to reduce the vision? Your whole bloomin upside him they should reduce some of their vision? How do you reduce the vision? How do you reduce the vision?
So for example, I'm looking at you looking straight at you, and I can see all of you. Okay, what would be reducing my vision?
For example, if I bend my head, if I'm looking down is my vision reduced? Try that look straight. And then look down. Is there a difference? There is a difference, right? Okay. Now you're looking straight ahead. Now look a little bit to your left. Is your vision reduced from your right side?
Look at the opposite direction. Again, is your vision reduced? Can you see the other side? No, you can't. So yellow min upside him. What does it mean? That there should reduce lower some of the revisions? Because notice the word min of sodium upside is a plural off bustle. What is buffer? I but it's also used for vision what you're seeing. So in other words, sometimes in some places, in certain situations, where necessary, what should the believing men do? They should not open their eyes fully and glare
Hair and stare and look on. Instead, what do they have to do reduce their vision? How? Either by looking down, or by looking to the right or by looking to the left or closing their eyes, whatever is needed in that situation they should do so that they're not looking on. They don't have a full look at something. Now, the question is, what is it that they should not look at? What is it that when it comes in front of them, they have to reduce they have to shorten their vision? What is that? It is that which is unlawful to look at.
Remember that where there are things that are unlawful to consume, and there are certain sounds that are unlawful to listen to. There are also certain things that are unlawful to look at
in the summer, while bizarro world full adder kulula Iike can homeschooler Allah will question is about what about our hearing about our vision? And also about our heart? What's going in through our ears? What's going in through our eyes? And what staying what's brewing in our heart, Allah who will question us about that. So your whole domain of Saudi him they should abridge their look, they should restrain their eyes from looking at that which is not lawful to look at. This doesn't mean that all the time men have to look down and all the time and have to look away. This is not a general rule. What is it it's a very specific rule in certain situations. They have to reduce their
vision.
Way of Raja home now the detail of this inshallah we'll get into that way and follow Furuta home and they should guard their private part. Why? Because Allah says Malika as Ghana home, it is pure for them. In other words, if they keep looking on,
is that pure for them? It's not pure for them. If they keep staring and glaring, is that pure for them for their thinking? It's not pure for their thinking. Is it pure for their heart? Is it pure for their Eman? No. So in order to keep themselves pure, and in order to purify themselves even more, what is it that men have been taught to do over here? shorten their glance, look down in certain situations. Now, look, bull bustle, this is the technical term of a bull buzzer, lowering the gears,
lowering the gears, what does it mean? It's defined as restraining the gaze, and not allowing it to wander and dwell on something.
restraining the gaze, you see how much self control our deen teaches us that you even control your vision. Don't let yourself look on and stare at things that you should not be looking on it. So restraining the gaze, not allowing it to wander, and not allowing it to dwell on something dwell on something. What does it mean?
Like stare, you know, for example, sometimes men are just their eyes are fixed on a woman. And as she's walking,
like, literally, you see their neck move. You see their head move, you know, fixing their eyes on something dwelling on something. Now, basically, there's two categories of this, that should not be looked at first of all, a little buzzer means that you should refrain from looking at another person's aura, what is our little the part of the body which should be covered? What is Allah, the part of the body that should be covered it should not be exposed.
So Allah is part of the body that should be covered, it should not be exposed. All right. Now whether it is a man, or it is a woman, when they're exposing a part of their body, which should not be exposed, and a man and this is specifically addressing men, okay? And a man happens to, let's say, see a woman's thigh, for instance. Right because she's walking with a short dress on so he sees her thigh. Now in that situation, what should he do?
fix his eyes on the thighs.
What should he do? Keep staring. Let the eyes wander from one woman's leg to the other woman's leg and let the eyes wander from the top of the thigh to the bottom of the foot. Yeah, is that what he should do? Know? What does Allah subhanaw taala Tell the men over here, Yahoo. They should lower their vision they should reduce it. They should not unleash their eyes and keep
Looking restrain the eyes restrain the vision because if they will restrain it, it is Escalon it is pure for them.
All right. Secondly Rodell buzzer also means that you don't look into people's houses and things which are behind closed doors. We can go little buzzer is only when looking at the opposite gender of Bill buffer also applies when you go to somebody's house and you're knocking on the door. And there's a glass door for example. A bill bustle applies over there also that you don't look in that when a person opens a door, you don't look behind their head on their shoulder to see what's inside the house that goes inside. That when somebody's car is parked, you don't look inside that when somebody's purse is sitting next to you don't look inside. It no claim he said haram kinds of
looking includes looking at our law, haram kinds of looking, it includes looking at what Allah and he said that Allah is of two types. The aura which is behind the garment, the aura, which is behind a garment, meaning a person's body, and their aura, which is behind doors. Both are ultra.
Another person their body is our law, and their house, their possessions, they are also our law.
So your whole domain of Saudi they remember that the command to lower the gaze.
It is mentioned before the guarding of the private parts. Right if you look at the if you hold bloomin upside in him, and then yeah, follow Furuta home first, lower the gaze. And secondly, guard the private part. Why? Because many evil actions, they begin from where what's their origin, the eyes,
right, because with the eyes admire
the heart desires. I remember when I was taking driving lessons, my instructor told me Look at where you want to go. Because I would just stare at the steering wheel, you know, or like right in front of my car scared. And you tell me forget the car, look at where you want to go.
Look at where you want to go. Because wherever you will look at you will automatically go there, you will automatically go there because you will be pulled towards it your body will work in that direction. So when we are looking at something that is unlawful to look at, then what are we doing in reality? What are we doing? We are actually taking a step towards it. This is why in Hadith, what do we learn that the Haram is clear, the halal is clear, right. And then there are certain things which are in the gray area, right. And then for every king is a hammer, meaning you can say a restricted area. So for example, what that means over here is the things that Allah has prohibited.
So stay away from the restricted area, because when you will go close to it, you will end up going inside it.
You understand. So when we are told when the men are to lower their gaze in these situations, why are they being told to keep them safe to keep them away from Zina to keep their thinking clean, right to keep their heart clean, to keep their tongue clean. Because remember that what you look at it stored in your head, it's stored in your head. And once it's stored in your head, you can recall it anytime. And when you will recall it, you will associate that with other thoughts, you know, it will lead to other thoughts. And then you know it could go in a positive direction or it could go in a very horrible direction in a negative direction also.
So this is why the door of evil is being closed over here. How? By telling men to control their gaze to lower their gaze to not look freely restrain their vision you'll do men of Saudi him
in a hadith and how can we learn that? The glands meaning you know wandering and just looking at something that you should not be looking at? It is one of the poisoned arrows of shape one
begins, what is it? One of the poisoned arrows of shaitan
you know what this reminds me of?
When I first read this, it reminded me of those cartoons in which you see this baby kind of thing. It's not really a baby, but it's got these wings cubed, right? And it has this arrow and then a heart comes out. I mean, this is a poisoned arrow of shaitan literally because it starts with one look. And then where does it end up? Where does it end up? Doesn't it lead to wrong and wrong and more wrong? We've recently I got this you know, we rented the video Despicable Me too. I thought it would be good, you know, because it's funny kind of funny.
Hold on our code, they love it. I mean, it's supposed to have three cute girls, okay? And the kinds of things they say they're supposed to be funny and okay for kids to watch. And obviously, whenever I show something to my kids, I have to screen it. And as I was going through it, I was like La hawla wala Quwata illa villa, the oldest of the girls, three girls, look at her size. And she goes off with a guy in the mall. And then she's dancing with the guy. And when the guy finds a cute girl, he goes away with her. Right? I mean, little kids are being taught this message. Look, look, look, look at the opposite gender, see who you like, see who's cute. See whom you're attracted to and admire
with your eyes and then the heart is pulled towards it towards that direction and you end up doing wrong.
So over here, the door to evil is being closed. In a hadith the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he said to our little DeLorean, who are Ollie, do not follow the first gaze with a second one.
Do not follow the first gaze with the second one. Meaning when you end up seeing something that you shouldn't be looking at, but it was unintentional. It just so happened the person just walked in front of you. All right, or on the TV screen, something bad just came up, then what are you supposed to do?
Let me enjoy my first glance. That's what some people say.
I'm allowed. Let me enjoy my first glance, you know what glance means? That just one look that you have not until you can blink.
No, that's not what it means. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, do not follow the first gaze with the second one. The first is forgiven, but the second one is not forgiven. Why is the first forgiven? Because exactly, it was unintentional. Why is the second one not forgiven? Because it was intentional. Remember, a mistake made Once is a mistake, but a mistake made twice is not a mistake. What is it? decision, it was a decision, you decided that's why it would be considered as a sin.
In other words, we learned that once the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam, he advised the companions that beware of sitting in the streets, don't hang out in the streets.
You know, a place where people have to walk through, don't sit there, don't hang out over there. Because it's awkward, right? When you're walking, and there's people standing in the hallway, and you feel like you're kind of listening to your conversation and you're kind of bumping into them and it's awkward. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told him, beware of sending in the streets, this idea Rasulillah we have no alternative but to sit in the streets to converse with one another. Meaning this is where we hang out. We don't know where else to go. So the Prophet salallahu Salam said, If you insist, then give this treat its rights. The set the street, its rights, what are the rights of
the street? The prophets, Allah Salam set was a little buffoonery. We're careful other words, do Salam while I'm ruble, ma roof. We're not your Anil Mancha. Lower your gaze. Don't stare at every person who's coming? And then stare at them as they go away? Nope. Lower your gaze, return the greeting of salaam enjoying what is right and forbid what is evil. So this teaches us that if you do happen to be in a place where you know, there is so much wrong, right mean visual wrong, then what are you supposed to do lower your gaze as much as possible.
And this is something that, unfortunately, we forget, by the end of every summer. Right? That we're so used to it that we don't even realize we're just looking looking and we're wondering, you know, looking at other people's bodies, or whatever it is, what do we need to remember? first glance, okay, it happen. Now Look away, Look away. Or if you're talking to somebody, and they're dressed inappropriately, instead of focusing on the part of the body that is being highlighted or exposed, focus on something else when you're speaking to them. Right? You're seeing somebody on the television, they're reporting something, don't look at the part of the body that you should not be
looking at, that they have exposed. They have exposed it, it's their problem. What is our problem controlling our eyes, and that is what we need to be concerned about. Because we fuss a lot about people exposing themselves. What we really need to fuss about is our own eyes. That is what we need to be concerned about. We learned that at one occasion, a woman she came to the Prophet salallahu Salam, and she was basically asking him a question. All right, and this was a young woman must have been pretty I mean, every woman is pretty. So there was a young man with the Prophet salallahu Salam behind him, father being our best and when he saw the woman, he was just staring at her. And she's
trying to ask the prophets of Allah sent him a question. And what is he doing? staring at her? And the Prophet sallallahu sunnah when he saw that. You know what he did? What did he do? He just turned his face away.
He turned
Let's face it, he didn't give him the eyes. What do you do? This is not appropriate. No, he didn't yell at him nothing. He just held his head and turn his head. Look at something else. You know, he got the message. Everybody learned to Lesson whoever was there witnessed that right? But what do we say the Prophet sallallahu Sallam did not allow that he should continue to look at her.
Right he should not continue to look at her yellowblue men absolutely. And this is something that men need to practice and as we will learn, Inshallah, in the following If even women need to practice, go ahead.
Exactly. The prophets of Allah Islam didn't say anything to the woman. What are you doing over here, and you should be covered even more you should be walking, you know, under something that completely hides you. There should be a mesh on your eyes and even better, you know, completely cover your eyes, nothing like that. Because I mean, there's only so much that a woman can do right. And people who want to stare they will stare at her through anything and anything. So the men have been taught also here Who do men of Saudi him and you know, the reward of lowering the gaze. I mean, do you guys have brothers do girls have brothers? Right or husbands? So share this hadith with them.
Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, three kinds of eyes will not see the fire on the Day of Judgment.
They will not even see Hellfire on the Day of Judgment. Firstly, the AI that weeps from the fear of Allah.
The AI that weeps from the fear of Allah that I will not even see hellfire. Secondly, the eye that guards in the way of Allah meaning while other people are resting, they're sleeping, this eye is open, this person is awake, guarding, guarding in the way of Allah.
And thirdly, the eye that was lowered from prohibited matters.
The eye that was lowered from prohibited matters. Meeting as soon as a person realized this is something I should not be looking at. And he looked away. He did a little bizarre than that i What does the Hadith say this I will not even see hellfire. And this is a Sohei Hadees in a sutra to sahab authenticated by Imam Alberni.
So your domain of Saudi him. Secondly, Allah says, Yeah, follow for Raja home, they should guard their private parts.
What should they guard their private parts from what from two things? First of all, from exposing them, and secondly, doing haram with them? Meaning, while we have been taught to lower our gaze, we have also been taught to maintain our privacy to cover our bodies so that we are not a source of fitna for others. So the men specifically have been taught over here that they must also protect their private parts they must also guard them. And notice the word guard. Why guard because it has the potential to get corrupt, insert remotely known we learned when Medina homely for Raji him, Have you learned Illallah as worthy him? Oh, mama, look at a man.
Now remember that what this means is that a man must cover his private part, meaning you should not expose it. What is meant by that, that he should cover his private part? What is the part of the body of a man that should be covered in front of everybody except the wife? What is that part of the body? It is between the navel and the knee. All right, it is between the navel being the belly button and the knee. In a hadith we learned the Prophet salallahu Salam, he said, Do not show your thigh. Do not show your thigh where's your thigh, above your knee? Right, so do not show it.
In another Hadith also, we learned that the Prophet saw a lot of Saddam he passed by a particular companion. And he saw that his thigh was uncovered. All right, his thigh was uncovered to the profits on a lot of them said Oh mama, cover your thigh. Because the thigh is our little.
The thigh is our law. Now, also remember that between the navel and the knee, many scholars have said that if the knee does get exposed, alright, there is no harm in that. But it doesn't mean that an exposing the knee part of the thigh is also exposed. All right, the knee is the knee and only the knees. So if the knee is exposed, no harm in that but what is above the knee should not be exposed. In a hadith we learned this is in Makati, Abdullah he said that I was sitting with the prophets of Allah the sun when Abu Bakr came and Abu Bakr was holding up the hem of His garment. Right he was holding a
His Garmin such that his knees were showing only his knees were showing, and the prophets of Allah Islam said, Your companion has had an argument. Meaning of a bucket is coming like this whole thing is close together, he's angry. He must have had a fight with someone he must have had an argument with someone. Alright, so his knees were exposed. His thigh was not exposed, only his knee was exposed. And another Hadees we learned that once the Prophet did a lot of fun was sitting in a place where there was water and his knee was uncovered. His knee was uncovered. And there were other people there. The Prophet said a lot of them did not cover his knees are us man will de la Horne who
came in and when it was man came in the Prophet SAW Allah Azzam covered his knee. Why did he cover his knee from Earth man, out of hire out of shyness, because it was man himself was also very modest, very shy. So you know what, when there are people who are very modest in their speech and their behavior and the way they dress, so what happens when you go in front of them, you also start covering yourself up. Alright, so the problem is a lot of them covered his knee in front of Earth, man, but when others were there, he didn't cover his knee, what does it mean, then?
What does it mean that the knee may be exposed? So for example, if a man is playing tennis, right, your teenage son wants to go play tennis, forget about tennis, what do guys play these days basketball, okay. And he wants to wear his shorts. All right. And his shorts are, let's say, you know, the really short kind. So some of his thigh is exposed. Is that okay?
No, what is their knee length? What is their knee length? That's fine. And when he's playing, of course, there will be times when his knee will get exposed. Is there anything wrong with that? No. But if they're a little on the shorter side to barely reach the knees, and when he will? What do you call it? Shoot the ball. Right? And as he jumps, then half his thigh is exposed than that's not okay.
You understand? So the knee may be exposed, but what is above the knee? Not at all. All right, what about the other part? The navel? Belly button. Again, the rhythm I say that the belly button itself, the navel itself that may be exposed, but what is beneath the navel? No way, it should not be exposed. So if your son is going swimming, all right, or if you know he's working outside and he's he's taking his shirt off, and he's cleaning with his shorts, you know, doing the grass or something. You know, make sure that his shorts or his pants, trousers, whatever it is, must reach the navel. All right, it should not be low.
How about showing your underwear
seriously showing your underwear from the back or from the side? Is that acceptable?
Because it's supposed to be cool, right? And or, I mean, it's an old fashioned now I think it's been going on for a couple years. But it seems like the end thing to do. I don't know when people are gonna get over it. You know, because generally fashion changes after some time, but this one, for some reason is not going away and it's getting worse and worse.
If you cannot show what is above your thigh and what is beneath your navel, how is it acceptable to show your underwear? It's not okay. Now, when you share inshallah these things with your brothers or your husbands or your sons, whoever, please do so with a little bit Hikmah Okay, and don't smack them straight on their underwear or something like cover this. No use hikma Alright, be wise, think about how is it that you would like to be taught? How is it that you would like to be addressed?
One more thing Yeah, follow up Raja home, they should guard their private part guarding the private part. It doesn't just mean covering it. You know with spandex that is so tight that everything is being exposed. Right? covering it means covering it, so that it's not exposed at all.
So this means that the clothing that is worn should be somewhat loose. And this applies to guys as well because we impose a lot of restrictions on girls, but the guys they can wear those skinny skinny jeans. Alright, which law How long could they live a lady? It doesn't make sense. And the body is being exposed. I don't know how you sit and stand and walk in that but somehow they do it. This is something that as parents especially we should be aware of we should be concerned about. So yeah, follow Furuta home.
Also remember that yeah, Follow Follow Jehovah. Clearly this also means guarding the private part from committing Zina right from committing unlawful sexual * or doing with the private part. What is not permissible
I'm sorry about being blunt here. But unfortunately this is something that is becoming kind of common within Muslims that they think Zina is not allowed. So don't have * with a woman, but have her do something else. Right? Have her do something else, so that a man can have pleasure
with a non Muslim woman, I mean with someone other than your wife, it's not okay. Whether the private part is going in her or in her hands or in her mouth Regardless, this is haram with the private parts. Yeah, falafel Raja home, they should guard their private part. They should not do with the private part what is not allowed?
What do we learn and so to me known that inner Allah as Why do you him?
Inner Allah as YG him only the wife,
only the wife,
nine one other than the wife that is not acceptable. It doesn't have any room in our religion, and the consequences of Zina, they are clear, clear in our deen. I mean, it's haram, we learned at the beginning of the surah the punishment for Xena and what is in the hereafter is far more serious, painful. At Mirage, when the Prophet saw a lot of sun and went, he saw that there was a hole like an oven, alright with a narrow top and there was fire inside and there were people and that fire would cause you know, and we'll throw people up in the air and then would fall back in the fire and these people were naked. And the prophets of Allah was shocked he asked you Brianne what it was and he
said, these are people who used to commit Zina.
Allah says, Yeah, follow Farrugia whom they should guard their private parts. And what is the reward of guarding the private part? What is the reward of guarding the private part of a suit allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever can guarantee the chastity of what is between his two jaw bones. And what is that? The tongue and that which is between his two legs? And what is that the private part? Whoever guarantees the chastity of these two? I guarantee Jana for him.
I guarantee paradise for him. Yeah follow for all gentlemen. They should guard their private parts. Why? So they can have Jana valleca has gala home. This is pure for them.
Pure for them meeting instead of letting their eyes wander and exposing their private part or doing haram with the private bar that is not pure in the law hobby. Don't be my Elsner own. You know sometimes you think well my mother will find out when my dad will find out my wife will find out this is what men think. What does Allah say? Allah is aware of what they do. So fear Allah your mom may never find out dad may never find out spouse may never find out. But who knows. Allah knows Sofia Allah recitation.
Meanie you know boom in the
war Jehovah
God.
No longer
denials now
