00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.740
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:11.919
The reality of luxury (al-taraf).

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.

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.920
It does not merely mean enjoying the blessings of Allah.

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.920
Rather, the one who is "luxurious" (mutraf) is the one heedless of the Hereafter.

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.920
The one who indulges in and expands upon the pleasures and desires of this world.

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.920
For the one whom luxury has corrupted,

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.920
is the one whom blessings have caused to transgress and become insolent.

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.920
Insolence (al-batr) is the rejection of the truth.

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.210
Luxury is never mentioned in the Qur'an except in a blameworthy context.

00:00:41.210 --> 00:00:44.210
As in the words of Allah the Exalted:

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)

00:00:49.210 --> 00:00:51.210
And His saying, the Exalted:

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)

00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:01.210
"Indeed, we are disbelievers in that with which you have been sent."
