00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,800
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,800
The sources of social security and its fruits.

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,660
The sources of social security mentioned in the previous concept are diverse.

4
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:25,660
They range from the obligatory zakat to voluntary charity and Islamic endowments (awqaf).

5
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:30,660
Perhaps all of this is encompassed by the words of Allah the Exalted:

6
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:37,659
"And those within whose wealth is a known right for the petitioner and the deprived."

7
00:00:37,659 --> 00:00:42,789
Reflect upon the text of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, in the verse, where He designates it as a "right."

8
00:00:42,789 --> 00:00:46,789
Thus, no one has a favor to bestow upon the deprived.

9
00:00:46,789 --> 00:00:52,789
Rather, these are their rights from the wealth of Allah, in which He has made the wealthy mere trustees.

10
00:00:52,789 --> 00:00:54,789
As He, the Exalted, says:

11
00:00:54,789 --> 00:00:59,789
“Believe in Allah and His messenger, and spend of that whereof He hath made you trustees; and such of you as believe and spend (aright), theirs will be a great reward.” (57:7)

12
00:00:59,789 --> 00:01:02,950
The implementation of this social security,

13
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:07,950
Spreads a spirit of harmony and mutual responsibility among the members of society.

14
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:10,950
It strengthens the bonds of connection between them.

15
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:15,950
And it prevents resentment, hatred, and envy from taking root between one person and another.

16
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:21,950
As for the social security institutions found in contemporary states,

17
00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:24,950
They are marred by many shortcomings and violations,

18
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:29,950
When compared to what is prescribed in Islamic social security and mutual responsibility.
