00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,740
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:11,919
The reality of luxury (al-taraf).

3
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:16,920
Luxury is the most potent factor in diverting a woman from piety and asceticism in this world.

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,920
It does not merely mean enjoying the blessings of Allah.

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,920
Rather, the one who is "luxurious" (mutraf) is the one heedless of the Hereafter.

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,920
The one who indulges in and expands upon the pleasures and desires of this world.

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,920
For the one whom luxury has corrupted,

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,920
is the one whom blessings have caused to transgress and become insolent.

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,920
Insolence (al-batr) is the rejection of the truth.

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,210
Luxury is never mentioned in the Qur'an except in a blameworthy context.

11
00:00:41,210 --> 00:00:44,210
As in the words of Allah the Exalted:

12
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:49,210
“If only there had been among the generations before you men possessing a remnant (of good sense) to warn (their people) from corruption in the earth, as did a few of those whom We saved from them! The wrong-doers followed that by which they were made sapless, and were guilty.” (11:116)

13
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:51,210
And His saying, the Exalted:

14
00:00:51,210 --> 00:00:57,210
“And We sent not unto any township a warner, but its pampered ones declared: Lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent.” (34:34)

15
00:00:57,210 --> 00:01:01,210
"Indeed, we are disbelievers in that with which you have been sent."
