00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:11.800
The aesthetics of the Prophetic biography: the smiling personality.

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:17.859
He captivates you from afar with a serene radiance that emerges from his smiles.

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:23.859
It illuminates like a shimmering moon, catching every eye and filling the spaces.

00:00:23.859 --> 00:00:30.859
He is loved from the very first glance, and his fragrance is sensed in every direction.

00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:39.179
He is the virtuous caller, the smiling believer, and the skilled hunter of hearts.

00:00:39.179 --> 00:00:46.219
Just like the Messenger, peace be upon him, and those among his followers who walked his path.

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:51.630
Jarir ibn 'Abdullah al-Bajali, may Allah be pleased with him, says:

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:56.630
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, never denied me entry since I embraced Islam,

00:00:56.630 --> 00:01:01.659
and he never saw me without smiling in my face."

00:01:01.659 --> 00:01:07.340
This smile is the lawful magic, the magnetic messenger,

00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:11.340
the pledge of affection, and the hallmark of the soul.

00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:17.430
As the poet said: "I greet my guest with a smile before he even unloads his baggage,

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:21.430
and he finds abundance with me, even when the land is barren.

00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:25.430
True abundance for guests is not found in the quantity of food provided,

00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:30.430
but rather, it is the face of the generous host that is abundant."

00:01:30.430 --> 00:01:37.329
It is an authentic hadith: "Your smiling in the face of your brother is a charity."

00:01:37.329 --> 00:01:40.329
The opposite of this well-received personality

00:01:40.329 --> 00:01:44.390
is the silent, frowning, and gloomy character,

00:01:44.390 --> 00:01:47.390
like one who has just emerged from a hot oven,

00:01:47.390 --> 00:01:52.650
as if he is in a dilemma or has been struck by a calamity.

00:01:52.650 --> 00:01:55.780
Even when he speaks, he does so with a heavy demeanor;

00:01:55.780 --> 00:01:58.780
he is deprived of this warmth and approachability.

00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:03.780
He is not following the guidance of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:07.969
He paints upon his face a portrait of coldness and mourning,

00:02:07.969 --> 00:02:13.969
as if he is in distress or his mind is preoccupied with worry and grief.

00:02:13.969 --> 00:02:19.969
This is neither from the Sunnah nor from the attributes of the people of faith.

00:02:19.969 --> 00:02:21.969
And peace.

00:02:21.969 --> 00:02:27.099
From the aesthetics of the Prophetic biography.
