00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.800
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:11.800
Fundamental individual rights.

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.019
Every individual in the Muslim society

00:00:16.019 --> 00:00:21.019
possesses fundamental rights guaranteed by the Islamic system.

00:00:21.019 --> 00:00:23.019
Among these is the right to life,

00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:29.019
as well as all other essential needs such as food, drink, clothing, and shelter,

00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:34.020
in addition to their primary right, above all else, to worship Allah

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:37.020
just as He, the Glorified, has commanded and willed.

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:42.140
It is incumbent upon the Muslim community, and the state acting on its behalf,

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:47.140
to ensure that the individual attains these fundamental rights,

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:51.140
first by providing them with the opportunity to work,

00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:53.140
provided they are capable of doing so.

00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:57.140
Indeed, the state must assist them in this to the best of its ability,

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:01.140
and not merely limit itself to providing opportunities.

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:05.140
If an individual is unable to work, whether partially or completely,

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.140
temporarily or permanently,

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:12.140
or if their earnings are insufficient to support themselves and their family,

00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:17.140
then they have the right to fulfill these necessities through several avenues:

00:01:17.140 --> 00:01:24.140
first, through the maintenance legally mandated for them from their capable relatives and kin;

00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:30.140
and second, from the public treasury of the Muslims, by virtue of their prescribed right to zakat.

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:36.299
All of the aforementioned is expressed in modern terminology as social security.

00:01:36.299 --> 00:01:40.299
This is a fundamental obligation upon the Muslim state,

00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:46.299
which is responsible for establishing its basic system, structuring it, and ensuring its proper implementation.
