WEBVTT 00:00.720 --> 00:07.060 Hypocrites lack Muslims' elegancy, courtesy, kindness, respectful attitude, and their graceful eloquence. 00:08.680 --> 00:16.180 One of the most significant attributes of Muslims is that they speak in a tone that abides by Quranic morality at every moment of their lives. 00:16.700 --> 00:21.980 However, in societies where irreligion prevail, pessimism is common in the majority of people. 00:22.640 --> 00:26.580 Muslims, on the other hand, are purified of this negative attitude through their faith, 00:26.580 --> 00:31.860 and this clean, immaculate, God-favoring morality is reflected in their behavior and speech. 00:32.000 --> 00:39.580 In every environment they enter, Muslims' conscience determines how they behave according to the flow of events and people's needs. 00:39.960 --> 00:43.240 Even if they encounter incidents they have never experienced before, 00:43.580 --> 00:48.720 they act upon their conscience and find the most proper behavior and make the most fitting speech. 00:51.400 --> 00:54.520 Yet, hypocrites lack this beauty of morality that Muslims possess. 00:54.520 --> 01:00.720 Of course, if they wish, they may change their attitude by taking a positive example from that of sincere Muslims. 01:01.360 --> 01:07.240 However, hypocrites who seek to employ an insidious struggle against Muslims never feel the need to amend their morals. 01:09.860 --> 01:15.080 They do not prefer to take the side of God, the morality of the Quran, or their conscience. 01:15.960 --> 01:21.920 For this reason, they present evil and negative behavior instead of positive, lenient behavior and good morals. 01:21.920 --> 01:31.820 They also prefer to use elusive and insinuating language instead of exhibiting a constructive, calming, and conciliatory tone in their discussion. 01:32.380 --> 01:38.360 They do not refrain from using rude and sharp words in an impertinent, aggressive, accusing, and vicious manner. 01:38.360 --> 01:48.960 They blatantly use every vulgar and disturbing kind of behavior that they have learned from irreligious people in the presence of Muslims. 01:49.780 --> 01:55.640 On the other hand, Muslims are diligent when it comes to enjoying pure and beautiful morals in order to earn the consent of God. 01:55.640 --> 02:06.600 They put forth effort to create an ambience that is like paradise by purging the despicable and ugly manners that they have previously learned in societies where irreligion prevails. 02:06.600 --> 02:16.980 For this reason, they are thoughtful, self-sacrificing, modest, easygoing, patient, gentle, friendly, and full of love and respect towards one another. 02:18.920 --> 02:23.800 Thus, a huge contrast ensues between Muslims' superior morals and hypocrites' negative behavior, 02:24.100 --> 02:31.360 which naturally makes it easy to identify hypocrites, as they do not abstain from presenting impudent attitudes and evil tones. 02:31.360 --> 02:39.620 As is known, there were many people who gained attention with their evil ways during the time of our Prophet, peace be upon him. 02:40.020 --> 02:46.320 Among these were idolaters, those with sickness in their hearts, vulgar and ill-mannered people, and the ignorant, 02:46.960 --> 02:50.200 along with the hypocrites, who deliberately employed this depravity. 02:51.660 --> 02:56.280 Above all, these people presented this kind of behavior to our Prophet, peace be upon him, also. 02:56.800 --> 02:58.700 Our Prophet is purely above these claims. 02:58.700 --> 03:05.860 They especially and intentionally demonstrated a more severe inequity in their conduct against our Prophet, peace be upon him. 03:09.540 --> 03:15.540 The reason for this was indeed their irreligiosity and their jealousy towards the blessings that our Prophet possessed, 03:15.900 --> 03:20.120 the love and respect shown to him and his position and his dignity. 03:20.120 --> 03:26.220 They believed they were more fit for the position as a leader than the Prophet, 03:26.620 --> 03:29.920 considering themselves more superior, more talented and more wise. 03:29.920 --> 03:38.560 That is why they took offense to showing him the due respect and love and to acting with good morals towards him. 03:40.360 --> 03:46.100 They spoke with disrespect and impertinence to him in loud voices that were utterly rude and aggressive, 03:46.440 --> 03:49.360 and sometimes raised their voices so high they were shouting at him. 03:49.360 --> 03:57.580 God warned in the Qur'an of those people who displayed this ugly conduct towards our Prophet, peace be upon him, 03:57.800 --> 03:59.940 and reminded them of a mighty recompense. 04:02.940 --> 04:06.780 You who believe, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, 04:07.220 --> 04:11.080 and do not be as loud when speaking to him as you are when speaking to one another, 04:11.600 --> 04:14.880 lest your actions should come to nothing without you realizing it. 04:14.880 --> 04:24.180 God has informed us that speaking in such a rude and hostile manner to our Prophet, peace be upon him, 04:24.540 --> 04:27.380 would obliterate the previous sincere deeds of those people. 04:30.660 --> 04:34.740 The verse informs us that a great reward awaits those sincere Muslims 04:34.740 --> 04:40.100 who abstain from such a depraved attitude and who speak with a moderate, respectful tone. 04:40.100 --> 04:46.880 Those who lower their voices when they are with the Messenger of God 04:46.880 --> 04:49.460 are people whose hearts God has tested for righteousness. 04:50.160 --> 04:52.660 They will have forgiveness and an immense reward. 04:55.340 --> 04:59.160 Indeed, every incident that took place during the era of our Prophet, peace be upon him, 04:59.420 --> 05:02.320 and every command told in the Qur'an regarding those incidents 05:02.320 --> 05:06.320 are beacons for every Muslim community that comes after that period. 05:06.320 --> 05:10.300 The understanding of respect and high regard described in the Qur'an 05:10.300 --> 05:15.220 tells us how the level of respect and good manners between believers should be also today.
