Kind: captions Language: en [Music] Academy was fordul. [Music] If we enter the house of the prophetat wasallam and look at his wardrobe and the things that he used to do do on daily basis. We find that among the garments the prophet loved the most what is known as alam. In Arabic nowadays we called al kamis a shirt but actually al kamish is what has two sleeves and a neck where you enter your head from mother says may Allah be pleased with her that the prophet sallallaihi wasallam's most beloved garment to himself was al kam and he loved al kam more than he loved and the cloak and the uh waist wrapper because it concealed the body more and it was easier to get into and out of. You don't need to tie it and be certain that it won't won't be untied among the colors. It's a given that the that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to love wearing the white. So the color white is one of if not the best color unlike some sects who love the green and make it a sign of them. Others who make it black. Yes, the prophet used to wear sometimes green turbans or black turbons and the likes, but white is what he recommended to his followers in his ummah when he said, "Wear white garments for they are pure and better and shroud your dead in them." Until date, this is what we do. We shroud the deceased before burial in white garments. However, personally speaking, white is not recommended for women when they go out because it can be a bit transparent. You can see the clothes worn underneath and it is well known fact that women since the time of the prophetam used to wear dark outer garment and black was the prominent uh uh color at the time. Among the things that the prophet wasallam loved from this life were perfumes. Anna Malik may Allah be pleased with him said the prophet of Allah wasallam said in this world women perfume have been made dear to me. Women and perfume meaning these are worldly matters. So some people would like food, some people would like expensive jewelry or living in mansions. To the prophetam the worldly matters that meant most to him were women and that's why he got married and he was compassionate with his wives which shows what kind of a human being he was. me. Uh, peace and blessings be upon him, the perfect human being. And he loved perfumed. Perfumes were beloved to him. And he says, "And my delight and comfort are in prayers." So the prayer are something that is out of this world, but it connects you with Allah. And it was a known fact that the prophet sallallaihi wasallam had a bottle where he would place his uh uh perfumes in. And it was one of his characteristics sallallahu alaihi wasallam that he had a pleasant smell, a pleasant fragrance that was natural. So even when people shook hands with him, they would say, "We found nothing softer than his hand and no smell better than his fragrance sallallahu alaihi wasallam." And he always used to go out of his way to have his scent, his fragrance smelling perfect. Why? He justified this by saying I meet the angels of Allahawel and I sit with other Muslims so I have no other option than to be in the perfect form. And this is why we Muslims think highly of self-hygiene and having a beautiful fragrance and scent coming out of our bodies. And this is a given. It's a well-known fact that Muslims are all the time or most of the time known to have a good scent or a good smell to them. And we do pay money to buy perfumes so that when we go to the masjid, when we meet other Muslims, it is pleasant to find a good scent and fragrance coming out of our clothes and bodies. Our prophetat wasallam was known for such pleasant smell, fragrance, odor, scent. So whenever he came or left people would know if you walk in the streets of Medina and yeah the prophet walked from here you can find the smell of musk and you can identify this among the things that the prophet loved was good omens and to be positive and optimistic. Abu Hur said that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam liked good omens and optimism and he disliked bad omens and pessimism. What is what is what is to believe in good omens? Believing in good omens is believing in any sign, any word, any gesture that something positive is going to happen. Why? Because this indicates that you're thinking positively of Allah. So if someone is sick in the family and you hear someone saying or calling his friend And is a name of a man but it means healthy. So when you hear the name you feel optimistic and inshallah my sick relative will get well. If you lost an item and you hear someone calling yawajit or you read a statement on the wall that has the word waj or waj to mean find. So you feel optimistic that inshallah I will see it and I'll get my things back. Anus narrates that the prophet whenever he went on a campaign or on a travel and he heard someone calling the other yashid which is a name of a person well-known name of of Arabs but it means the guided one or the successful one the prophet sallall alaihi wasallam would feel happy because of hearing such names So this is what believing a good omens entail to think positively of Allahawel and the opposite of that of course is to be pessimistic and to believe in superstitions which is not permissible in Islam. Using the right side compared to the left is a trend in Islam. But we often use this with good things not with bad things. So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to love to start with the right hand side in almost everything in his drinking in his eating in wearing new clothes when he gives things away and when he receives and takes things. So when he enters the masjid he enters with his right foot. When he puts on his sandals he puts with his right foot. when he starts evolution he begins with his right limbs and when he sleeps he sleeps on his right side. So this was the trend that he loved to start and begin whether it's combing his hair or wearing his clothes or purifying himself in woodoo. He would love to start with the right hand side in everything to the best of his ability. Now this doesn't mean if you don't then you're sinful. No, you can skip that sometimes. You can ignore that sometimes. But the trend is that you try your level best to begin with the right hand side to the best of your your ability. Now having said that remember bad things we do it with our left hand side. So when we clean impurities after urinating or defecating we use our left hand. When we enter the toilet we use our left foot and the likes also. Uh this is something that a lot of the people seem to neglect and we see Muslims eating with their left hand imitating the westerners. So they you hold the fork with the left, the knife with the right and they consume with the left hand. And this is totally prohibited as we've indicated this in prior classes. for [Music] that.
