00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,029
Allah the Almighty says:

2
00:00:02,029 --> 00:00:11,230
“O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the raiment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of the revelations of Allah, that they may remember.” (7:26)

3
00:00:11,230 --> 00:00:23,769
“O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the raiment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of the revelations of Allah, that they may remember.” (7:26)

4
00:00:23,769 --> 00:00:26,960
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,960
The Glorified and Exalted has made it obligatory upon the servant to disobey the soul that commands evil,

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,960
and to distance oneself from its desires,

7
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,960
so that it may attain its full and complete share of His honor and reward,

8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:46,409
and enjoy in the hereafter the various delights of what it abandoned for the sake of Allah in this world.

9
00:00:46,409 --> 00:00:48,409
He, may Allah have mercy on him, also said:

10
00:00:48,409 --> 00:00:51,469
The heart falls ill just as the body falls ill,

11
00:00:51,469 --> 00:00:55,469
and its cure lies in repentance and abstinence.

12
00:00:55,469 --> 00:00:58,469
It becomes tarnished just as a mirror becomes tarnished,

13
00:00:58,469 --> 00:01:00,469
and its polishing is through the remembrance of Allah.

14
00:01:00,469 --> 00:01:03,469
It becomes naked just as the body becomes naked,

15
00:01:03,469 --> 00:01:06,920
and its adornment is piety.

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,920
If a person does not wear garments of piety,

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,920
he remains naked even if he is clothed.

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,920
The best garment for a person is the obedience of his Lord,

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,920
and there is no good in one who is disobedient to Allah.
