00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.699
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:11.699
Joy according to the standards of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah).

00:00:11.699 --> 00:00:17.820
Joy, by the standards of the Jahiliyyah, carries the following characteristics:

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:22.980
First, the source of their joy and how they express it:

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:26.980
It is either an indulgence in permissible things to the point of forgetting the Hereafter,

00:00:26.980 --> 00:00:33.240
Or it is joy in disobedience to Allah, expressed through arrogance and insolence.

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,

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.

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."

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.240
And they were encompassed by that which they used to mock.

00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.239
Third, their joy in showing off and boasting.

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..."

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)

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:27.299
Fourth, their joy in the calamities that befall the Muslims.

00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:33.299
Allah the Almighty says: "If a good thing befalls you, it distresses them."

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)

00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:46.500
Fifth, joy in factionalism based on falsehood.

00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:51.500
Allah the Almighty says: "Every faction rejoicing in what they have."

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:57.590
Sixth, their joy in mocking and harming the believers.

00:01:57.590 --> 00:02:05.590
Allah the Almighty says: "Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed."

00:02:05.590 --> 00:02:08.590
“And wink one to another when they passed them;” (83:30)

00:02:08.590 --> 00:02:14.590
“And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;” (83:31)

00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:19.229
