Joy, by the standards of the Jahiliyyah, carries the following characteristics:

4
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:22,980
First, the source of their joy and how they express it:

5
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:26,980
It is either an indulgence in permissible things to the point of forgetting the Hereafter,

6
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:33,240
Or it is joy in disobedience to Allah, expressed through arrogance and insolence.

7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Second, the joy of these deluded people in the false sciences, philosophies, and flimsy cultures they possess,

8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,240
Which Satan has adorned and made attractive in their minds, leading them to argue against the truth with them.

9
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Allah the Almighty says: "When their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they rejoiced in what they had of knowledge."

10
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,240
And they were encompassed by that which they used to mock.

11
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,239
Third, their joy in showing off and boasting.

12
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:15,239
Allah the Almighty says: "Do not think that those who rejoice in what they have perpetrated and love to be praised for what they have not done..."

13
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:22,239
“Think not that those who exult in what they have given, and love to be praised for what they have not done - Think not, they are in safety from the doom. A painful doom is theirs.” (3:188)

14
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:27,299
Fourth, their joy in the calamities that befall the Muslims.

15
00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:33,299
Allah the Almighty says: "If a good thing befalls you, it distresses them."

16
00:01:33,299 --> 00:01:41,299
“If good befalleth thee (O Muhammad) it afflicteth them, and if calamity befalleth thee, they say: We took precaution, and they turn away well pleased.” (9:50)

17
00:01:41,299 --> 00:01:46,500
Fifth, joy in factionalism based on falsehood.

18
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:51,500

19
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:57,590
Sixth, their joy in mocking and harming the believers.

20
00:01:57,590 --> 00:02:05,590
Allah the Almighty says: "Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed."

21
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:08,590
“And wink one to another when they passed them;” (83:30)

22
00:02:08,590 --> 00:02:14,590
“And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;” (83:31)
