Distinguishing Between Beauty and Seduction

The podcast discusses the importance of distinguishing between feeling beautiful and feeling sexy, emphasizing that these are different concepts. Feeling beautiful is encouraged, but feeling sexy is considered harmful and seductive. Seduction is seen as a desire to control someone else's behavior, while goodwill is about considering the well-being and safety of others. The podcast provides the example of the Elf Queen in Lord of the Rings, who represents the voice of Shaitan, tempting others to be desperate for her. The Western society promotes a culture of seduction, but Islam prioritizes hayat (modesty). It is mentioned that being attractive and presentable is not wrong, but the intention to seduce is considered harmful.
