A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08,699 --> 00:00:11,699
The distinction between joy (farah) and glad tidings (istibshar).

3
00:00:11,699 --> 00:00:16,469
Joy, in the praiseworthy sense, occurs after the attainment of a desired outcome.

4
00:00:16,469 --> 00:00:19,469
Glad tidings, however, occur before that attainment.

5
00:00:19,469 --> 00:00:24,469
This applies when one is anticipating an outcome and is confident in its arrival.

6
00:00:24,469 --> 00:00:27,469
Allah, glorified be He, says regarding the martyrs in His path:

7
00:00:27,469 --> 00:00:31,469
“Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not joined them but are left behind: That there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.” (3:170)

8
00:00:31,469 --> 00:00:35,469
“Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not joined them but are left behind: That there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.” (3:170)

9
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:39,469
“Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not joined them but are left behind: That there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.” (3:170)

10
00:00:39,469 --> 00:00:42,600
Through these pure and equitable standards,

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,600
we are able to discern the pre-Islamic (Jahili) standards of joy,

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,600
which lead us to praise Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,600
for this religion and its equitable standards.

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,600
For the beauty of a thing is known by its opposite.
