00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.470
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.470 --> 00:00:14.140
Inspiration is not a legal proof.

00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:22.140
What occurs in the hearts of inspirations, revelations, and dream visions, which are frequently mentioned among the Sufis,

00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:26.140
do not, by themselves, indicate that they are true.

00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:33.140
And they are not believed until they are presented to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:36.140
If they bear witness to their acceptance, they are accepted.

00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:39.140
And if they are rejected, they are rejected.

00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:42.140
And if nothing is known of their conformity or rejection,

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:47.140
one suspends judgment regarding them; they are neither affirmed nor denied.

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.140
For inspiration, just as it can be from the Most Merciful,

00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:53.140
it can also be from Satan.

00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:55.140
Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:55.140 --> 00:01:01.140
“And eat not of that whereon Allah's name hath not been mentioned, for lo! it is abomination. Lo! the devils do inspire their minions to dispute with you. But if ye obey them, ye will be in truth idolaters.” (6:121)

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:05.140
“And eat not of that whereon Allah's name hath not been mentioned, for lo! it is abomination. Lo! the devils do inspire their minions to dispute with you. But if ye obey them, ye will be in truth idolaters.” (6:121)

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.140
And He the Almighty says:

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:13.140
“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:19.140
“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)
