A koliko košta TVOJE DOSTOJANSTVO?!

0:00 Dear friends, peace be upon you.

0:03 In

0:03 a classical text, there is a very interesting case

0:08 related to the Persian

0:10 king Khosrow,

0:11 who is said to have been an exceptionally wise man. Some even called him the second Plato,

0:19 in the sense that he understood life well and understood

0:23 certain

0:24 events

0:25 from civilizations,

0:27 of the people, etc.

0:30 In this example, it is mentioned that he gathered his closest

0:35 elite, friends, and people.

0:39 He consulted with them and told them that it would be good for them to marry

0:46 Persians to Arab women,

0:50 to marry off their daughters to Arabs.

0:54 His advisors,

0:56 friends, and close people could not oppose him, as he allowed it, allowing freedom of speech, criticism, etc. Unlike many others,

1:07 both throughout history and today.

1:10 And they said that it was a bad proposal, that they saw no

1:14 the meaning in all of this, for they were simply

1:17 the Arabs at that time,

1:20 before the prophethood,

1:21 were people who were not

1:24 worthy of any civilization,

1:27 they simply did not have states, they had no leadership,

1:30 they had nothing that was valuable to them.

1:33 Thus, neither power,

1:35 nor anything else they could use through their tribal ties.

1:42 This

1:43 Their ruler, Cyrus, kept this silent and moved on.

1:47 He says, he stands there in case some time has passed and they forget this talk.

1:49 After that, he gathered them again and took out a beautiful

1:57 dove.

1:58 An exceptionally beautiful dove that they had never seen before.

2:03 It is said that its estimated value at that time was around 20,000

2:04 gold coins.

2:10 So he just showed it to them and they were so amazed.

2:14 zlatnika.

2:16 Pa je on samo sto im je to pokazao a oni bili toliko

2:22 eager for it.

2:24 He said to them,

2:25 listen,

2:26 who among you will be the first to strip naked?

2:29 As he was born from his mother, thus with nothing here before us, he will receive this dove as a gift.

2:36 At first, they were confused,

2:39 they didn't know what was happening, then they realized it was a huge opportunity to earn well,

2:44 so they started hastily

2:46 quickly

2:47 to take off their clothes, and in just a very short time, everyone in that room was

2:58 naked.

3:00 And after that, they started arguing about who got naked first.

3:05 Then they had to admit that one of them was the first to get naked,

3:10 And after that, Kisara handed him

3:14 a necklace.

3:15 Of course, he was extremely

3:17 satisfied,

3:18 then they started joking about it, etc. And again, that case was somehow forgotten.

3:25 He let some more time pass, then he called them again.

3:30 However, now he called an Arab blacksmith who lived in his empire in his capital, so he was a blacksmith.

3:40 He called him to that gathering. This man was said to have a suspicion,

3:51 wondering why he was there, thinking that some harm was being plotted.

3:57 So listen to him.

4:00 Do not be afraid, I called you only for this.

4:05 Stay here with us.

4:08 After that, Kisra took out, they say, another robe that was even more beautiful than the first.

4:16 And his friends, acquaintances, advisors,

4:19 part of his elite,

4:21 expected

4:22 that the competition would start again on who would strip first, born naked.

4:29 They were already preparing to undress.

4:34 However, Kistra did not want that. Kistra said,

4:44 This Marapu, he said, listen, do you see this?

4:46 This is worth much more than twenty thousand gold coins.

4:48 He said, you will receive this as a

4:51 gift, but under one condition, you must do just one thing.

4:54 You need to undress here in front of us,

4:57 completely naked, as if you were born from your mother.

5:02 We will not harm you, we will do nothing, you will just do this, and you will receive a huge

5:04 reward. The man looked at the necklace, looked at the king, looked at the people around him and then said,

5:13 Dear Carre,

5:15 Listen,

5:16 He says, if you give me all your Persia,

5:19 I would not do it.

5:22 If you gave me all your wealth, I would not do it.

5:26 And he says, even if you gave me that necklace, just to remove

5:30 the sacrifice, he had a characteristic

5:33 Arab sacrifice.

5:34 He says, just so I can show you and show you my hair and my head, he says, just for that, I would not do it.

5:42 Can I go now? He says, you can, go. And he let him go, and after that, Kisra told his advisors,

5:49 friends, you see

5:51 do you see the difference between that ordinary blacksmith and you?

5:56 So, you think human dignity

6:00 is actually in money, power, strength, military, etc. No, on the contrary!

6:05 Human dignity is far more than that.

6:09 So I have now demonstrated to you what human dignity means and why I said

6:15 that we should be careful about who we enter into

6:19 family

6:19 relationships.

6:20 Here is this

6:22 A reflective story, I believe it is a story for all of us.

6:26 This case, therefore, teaches us all a lesson.

6:30 How dignified we are,

6:32 and how much we are actually greedy for material things.

6:33 May Allah reward you, peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

6:37 Da vas Allah nagradi, oselamu aleikum, verametullah I u berkatu.
