00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,859
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,859 --> 00:00:11,859
Between concealing one’s private parts and concealing the state of one’s heart.

3
00:00:11,859 --> 00:00:17,980
Allah legislated clothing for the purpose of covering private parts and for adornment.

4
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:19,980
Allah the Exalted says:

5
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:26,980
“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)

6
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:30,079
Then He followed that by saying:

7
00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:33,079
"And the garment of righteousness—that is best."

8
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:38,079
This indicates the necessary correlation between the clothing of the body and the clothing of righteousness.

9
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:40,079
For both are forms of clothing.

10
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,079
The first covers the body and adorns it.

11
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:46,079
The second covers the heart and purifies it.

12
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,079
So, whoever clothes their heart with righteousness,

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:52,079
feels shame at being uncovered and finds it repulsive.

14
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:55,079
And whoever strips themselves of righteousness,

15
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:59,079
permits the exposure of their body and the revealing of their private parts.

16
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:01,079
They persist in this,

17
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:04,079
until they become among those who advocate for the exposure of private parts.

18
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:09,079
That is a regression of the natural disposition (fitra) and a subversion of it.
