WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.800 Summary of Sunni concepts 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:11.800 Causes of temptation 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:19.730 Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may God Almighty have mercy on him, sufficed with mentioning the causes of temptations and falling into them 00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:25.730 He referred it to two major reasons, under which there are many branches 00:00:25.730 --> 00:00:29.730 The two reasons are suspicions and desires 00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:32.729 He says, may God Almighty have mercy on him 00:00:32.729 --> 00:00:34.729 There are two types of temptation 00:00:34.729 --> 00:00:38.729 The temptation of doubts is the greater of the two temptations 00:00:38.729 --> 00:00:40.729 And the temptation of desires 00:00:40.729 --> 00:00:44.729 They may be combined for the slave, or he may be alone with one of them 00:00:44.729 --> 00:00:49.729 The temptation of doubts is a result of weak insight and lack of knowledge 00:00:49.729 --> 00:00:54.729 Especially if this is coupled with corruption of intent and the occurrence of passion 00:00:54.729 --> 00:00:58.729 There is a great turmoil and a great calamity 00:00:58.729 --> 00:01:01.729 So say whatever you want about misguidance with bad intentions 00:01:01.729 --> 00:01:04.730 The ruler has his own passion for guidance 00:01:04.730 --> 00:01:10.730 With his weak insight and lack of knowledge of what God sent His Messenger with 00:01:10.730 --> 00:01:13.730 He is one of those whom God Almighty said about them 00:01:13.730 --> 00:01:19.730 They follow nothing but conjecture and what their souls desire 00:01:19.730 --> 00:01:23.730 This temptation leads to disbelief and hypocrisy 00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:27.730 It is the temptation of hypocrites and the temptation of heretics 00:01:27.730 --> 00:01:30.730 According to the levels of their heresies 00:01:30.730 --> 00:01:33.730 All of them were invented due to the temptation of doubts 00:01:33.730 --> 00:01:39.730 In which they suspected truth of falsehood and guidance of error 00:01:39.730 --> 00:01:44.790 The only way to escape from this temptation is to strip away the followers of the Messenger 00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:47.790 And his arbitration in the importance of religion and its glory 00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:51.790 His outward and inward beliefs and deeds 00:01:51.790 --> 00:01:54.790 His facts and laws 00:01:54.790 --> 00:01:58.819 This temptation sometimes arises from a corrupt understanding 00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:01.819 Sometimes it is a false report 00:02:01.819 --> 00:02:06.819 Sometimes it is an established right that is hidden from a man and he does not obtain it 00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:10.819 Sometimes it is for a corrupt purpose and it is followed 00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:15.819 It is caused by blindness in insight and corruption in the will 00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:18.180 The second type of temptation 00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:20.180 The temptation of desires 00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:23.180 It is the temptation that is caused by passion 00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:27.180 It is not ignorance of the truth or suspicion of it 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:31.180 Rather, the perpetrator of this temptation is aware of the truth 00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:34.180 But he turned away from it and preferred someone else 00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:37.180 What his heart desires and his soul desires 00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:42.240 The origin of all temptation is the prioritization of opinion over Sharia law 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.240 Passion over reason 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.240 The first is the origin of the temptation of doubts 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.240 The second is the origin of the temptation of desires 00:02:51.370 --> 00:02:55.370 It was mentioned in a mursal hadith that some scholars considered weak 00:02:55.370 --> 00:02:57.370 But its meaning is correct 00:02:57.370 --> 00:03:00.370 God loves critical sight 00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:02.370 When suspicions arise 00:03:02.370 --> 00:03:04.370 He loves a perfect mind 00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:06.370 When desires come 00:03:06.370 --> 00:03:09.370 So, it is the root of all temptations 00:03:09.370 --> 00:03:11.370 Either suspicion or lust 00:03:11.370 --> 00:03:16.370 If temptations coincide, lack of knowledge and ignorance of the truth 00:03:16.370 --> 00:03:18.370 Or suspicion of a corrupt interpretation 00:03:18.370 --> 00:03:22.370 Its owner fell into temptation due to suspicion 00:03:22.370 --> 00:03:25.370 If he agrees, knowing the truth of the servant 00:03:25.370 --> 00:03:28.370 But his patience with desires is weak 00:03:28.370 --> 00:03:32.370 He fell into temptation because of lust, not suspicion 00:03:32.370 --> 00:03:35.689 The third type of causes of temptation 00:03:35.689 --> 00:03:38.689 It is a mixture of suspicion and lust 00:03:38.689 --> 00:03:43.689 That is, whoever falls into temptation does not admit that he is weak in patience 00:03:43.689 --> 00:03:45.689 His whims have overcome him 00:03:45.689 --> 00:03:47.689 But he tries too hard 00:03:47.689 --> 00:03:51.689 Evidence based on a whim based on legal suspicion 00:03:51.689 --> 00:03:54.689 He justifies his doing what he did 00:03:54.689 --> 00:03:58.719 That is, he does not acknowledge his mistakes and whims 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.719 Rather, he claims that he is right based on his suspicion 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.719 From a corrupt interpretation or weak evidence 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.719 Falling into temptation has other secondary reasons 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.719 Including haste and haste 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.719 And abandoning Istikhara and consulting 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.720 And sitting with the people of the world, immorality and innovations 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.720 And reading their books and articles 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.720 Being absorbed in the world and relying on it 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.720 And its preference for the afterlife 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.420 Reasons for surviving temptations 00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:37.100 Knowing the reasons for falling into the aforementioned temptations 00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:40.100 The reasons for its prevention become clear to us 00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:42.100 The most important of them 00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:43.100 Firstly 00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.100 Asking God Almighty 00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:47.100 Steadfastness in the truth 00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:49.100 And seek refuge in Him from temptations 00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:51.100 What is apparent from it and what is hidden 00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:53.100 As in the famous supplication 00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:56.100 Oh God, I seek refuge in You from temptations 00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:59.100 What is apparent from it and what is hidden 00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:01.100 No one came from temptation 00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:04.100 Except with God's help and success 00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:07.100 And his protection for his servant from it 00:05:07.100 --> 00:05:10.100 And what achieves the answer of God Almighty 00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:12.100 For those who call upon Him and seek refuge in Him 00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:17.100 God Almighty knows the sincerity of His servant in his requests and supplications 00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:20.100 It is a sign of the sincerity of supplication and request 00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:24.100 To take other measures to protect against temptation 00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:26.290 Secondly 00:05:26.290 --> 00:05:29.290 Removing the temptation of suspicions with forensic knowledge 00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:32.290 And the correct understanding of God Almighty 00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:36.290 And its rulings stem from the Book of God Almighty 00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:39.290 And the Sunnah of his Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:43.290 Concerning this, Ibn al-Qayyim, may God Almighty have mercy on him, says 00:05:43.290 --> 00:05:46.290 Correct understanding and good intent 00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:50.290 One of the greatest blessings that God has bestowed upon His servant 00:05:50.290 --> 00:05:56.290 Rather, nothing was given to Abdul Ata’ after Islam that was better or more timely than either of them 00:05:56.290 --> 00:06:00.290 Rather, they are the basis of Islam and its establishment on them 00:06:00.290 --> 00:06:05.290 Correct understanding is a light that God casts into the heart of the servant 00:06:05.290 --> 00:06:08.290 It distinguishes between correct and incorrect 00:06:08.290 --> 00:06:10.290 And right and wrong 00:06:10.290 --> 00:06:12.290 And guidance and misguidance 00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:14.290 And cancel and guidance 00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:16.290 He extends good intentions 00:06:16.290 --> 00:06:18.290 And investigate the truth 00:06:18.290 --> 00:06:21.290 And fear the Lord in secret and in public 00:06:21.290 --> 00:06:26.290 Neither the mufti nor the ruler is able to issue fatwas and rule with truth 00:06:26.290 --> 00:06:28.290 Except for two types of understanding 00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:32.290 One of them is understanding reality and jurisprudence in it 00:06:32.290 --> 00:06:36.290 The second type is understanding the duty in reality 00:06:36.290 --> 00:06:40.290 It is an understanding of God’s ruling that He ruled in His Book 00:06:40.290 --> 00:06:45.290 Or on the tongue of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, in this reality 00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:49.290 Then apply one to the other 00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:50.509 Third 00:06:50.509 --> 00:06:54.509 Treating the temptation of desires with fear of God Almighty 00:06:54.509 --> 00:06:57.509 And give preference to what he has in the afterlife 00:06:57.509 --> 00:07:00.509 That is better and more lasting 00:07:00.509 --> 00:07:03.509 And settle oneself on patience and piety 00:07:03.509 --> 00:07:08.509 If you are patient and pious, then that is part of the determination of matters 00:07:08.509 --> 00:07:15.509 Because this temptation may occur to those who have knowledge of God Almighty and His rulings 00:07:15.509 --> 00:07:19.509 But it came to him out of passion and weakness of piety 00:07:19.509 --> 00:07:22.509 It was not about his lack of knowledge of the truth 00:07:22.509 --> 00:07:25.509 But from a lack of piety and patience 00:07:25.509 --> 00:07:28.509 And preferring the world over the truth 00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:29.670 Fourth 00:07:29.670 --> 00:07:32.670 And because it is one of the reasons for falling into temptation 00:07:32.670 --> 00:07:35.670 Hurry and haste 00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:40.670 The cure for that was patience, gentleness, forbearance, and selfishness 00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:41.769 Fifth 00:07:41.769 --> 00:07:44.769 Istikhara of God Almighty 00:07:44.769 --> 00:07:49.769 And consult someone whose knowledge, religion, and awareness of reality are trusted 00:07:49.769 --> 00:07:50.860 Sixth 00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:55.860 Be careful to unite the word and reject division and differences 00:07:55.860 --> 00:08:02.860 Except for those who must be separated from among the people of disbelief, hypocrisy, and false innovations 00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:04.019 Seventh 00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:07.019 The necessity of piety and sitting with the righteous 00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:11.019 And a lot of worship of fountains and sacrifices 00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:14.019 And frequent remembrance of God Almighty 00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:15.180 Eighth 00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:18.180 Enjoining good and forbidding evil 00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:22.180 And intensifying the call to God Almighty 00:08:22.180 --> 00:08:27.180 Struggling against the infidels and hypocrites with tongue, money and teeth 00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:32.179 And isolation when the fighting is between Muslims themselves 00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:33.379 Ninth 00:08:33.379 --> 00:08:37.379 Asceticism in this world and beware of its temptations 00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:40.379 It is a temptation for everyone who is intrigued 00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:41.379 Tenth 00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:44.379 Retire from temptation and its people 00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:49.379 And not to participate in it with tongue, pen or teeth 00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:54.379 Isolation is neither praiseworthy nor reprehensible at all 00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:58.379 But it varies from person to person 00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:01.379 From one place and one situation to another 00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:07.379 He looks at the harms and benefits that result from them, and balances them between them 00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:13.379 The basic principle is that mingling involves cooperation in righteousness and piety 00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:15.379 She is commanded to do so 00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:19.379 Even if it involves cooperation in sin and aggression 00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.379 It is forbidden 00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:24.379 Isolation is required then
