0:00 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

0:08 Joy and happiness.

0:11 Gladness and delight.

0:13 Insofar as they are part of human nature.

0:15 Are neither inherently praiseworthy nor blameworthy.

0:18 The Shariah did not come to abolish them.

0:21 Rather, it came to guide and refine them.

0:24 Their praise or blame depends upon their motives and causes.

0:29 And the manner in which they are expressed and their consequences.

0:33 If the joy is for the obedience of Allah, His guidance, and the victory of His religion,

0:37 Or for a permissible matter that assists in the obedience of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,

0:41 Then it is praiseworthy and beloved to Allah, the Exalted.

0:45 He, the Glorified, said:

0:47 “O mankind! There hath come unto you an exhortation from your Lord, a balm for that which is in the breasts, a guidance and a mercy for believers.” (10:57)

0:52 “O mankind! There hath come unto you an exhortation from your Lord, a balm for that which is in the breasts, a guidance and a mercy for believers.” (10:57)

0:55 And as guidance and mercy for the believers.

0:59 “Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy: therein let them rejoice. It is better than what they hoard.” (10:58)

1:03 “Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy: therein let them rejoice. It is better than what they hoard.” (10:58)

1:07 And the Almighty said:

1:09 And on that day, the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah.

1:13 However, if the joy is for an act of disobedience,

1:16 Or for a permissible matter that distracts from the Hereafter,

1:19 And leads to insolence and arrogance,

1:21 Then it is blameworthy.

1:23 The Almighty said:

1:25 “Those who were left behind rejoiced at sitting still behind the messenger of Allah, and were averse to striving with their wealth and their lives in Allah's way. And they said: Go not forth in the heat! Say: The fire of hell is more intense of heat, if they but understood.” (9:81)

1:29 “Those who were left behind rejoiced at sitting still behind the messenger of Allah, and were averse to striving with their wealth and their lives in Allah's way. And they said: Go not forth in the heat! Say: The fire of hell is more intense of heat, if they but understood.” (9:81)

1:36 And He, the Glorified, said:

1:38 And they rejoiced in the life of this world.

1:40 “Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter.” (13:26)

1:45 And He, the Glorified, said regarding Qarun:

1:48 “Now Korah was of Moses' folk, but he oppressed them; and We gave him so much treasure that the stores thereof would verily have been a burden for a troop of mighty men. When his own folk said unto him: Exult not; lo! Allah loveth not the exultant;” (28:76)

1:51 “Now Korah was of Moses' folk, but he oppressed them; and We gave him so much treasure that the stores thereof would verily have been a burden for a troop of mighty men. When his own folk said unto him: Exult not; lo! Allah loveth not the exultant;” (28:76)
