A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Between concealing one’s private parts and concealing the state of one’s heart.
0:11
Allah legislated clothing for the purpose of covering private parts and for adornment.
0:17
Allah the Exalted says:
0:19
“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)
0:26
Then He followed that by saying:
0:30
"And the garment of righteousness—that is best."
0:33
This indicates the necessary correlation between the clothing of the body and the clothing of righteousness.
0:38
For both are forms of clothing.
0:40
The first covers the body and adorns it.
0:43
The second covers the heart and purifies it.
0:46
So, whoever clothes their heart with righteousness,
0:49
feels shame at being uncovered and finds it repulsive.
0:52
And whoever strips themselves of righteousness,
0:55
permits the exposure of their body and the revealing of their private parts.
0:59
They persist in this,
1:01
until they become among those who advocate for the exposure of private parts.
1:04
That is a regression of the natural disposition (fitra) and a subversion of it.
