Summary of Sunni concepts
The leading nation
God Almighty has chosen the nation of Islam to lead humanity
After the nation of the People of the Book has been disgraced, betrayed its covenants, and changed the Book of its Lord
God Almighty said
You were the best nation ever created for mankind
You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and you believe in God
And the Almighty said
And thus We made you a moderate nation, so that you may be witnesses over the people
And the Messenger will be a witness over you
This nation has its unique divine approach
Leading the nation to the correct perception
And correct manners
And the correct system and law
And in all of these correct situations
Minds grow and lives evolve
Hearts open and learn about this universe and its secrets
He uses his strength, energies and savings to reform life and spread goodness in it
And this leadership
It requires that its people beware of following other than this divine approach
Those who follow the People of the Book are among those who have incurred wrath and gone astray
Because their followers include disbelief and misery in this world and the hereafter
God Almighty said
O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Book, they will turn you back into disbelief after you have believed
How can you disbelieve when the verses of God are being recited to you and among you is His Messenger?
Whoever holds fast to God has been guided to a straight path
