00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,769
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:08,769 --> 00:00:12,179
Heresy (Ilhad)

3
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:14,179
"Alhada" means to deviate.

4
00:00:14,179 --> 00:00:16,179
To deviate in Allah's religion.

5
00:00:16,179 --> 00:00:18,179
Meaning to deviate from it and turn away.

6
00:00:18,179 --> 00:00:20,179
And so-and-so deviated.

7
00:00:20,179 --> 00:00:22,179
He turned away from the truth.

8
00:00:22,179 --> 00:00:24,179
And introduced into it what is not from it.

9
00:00:24,179 --> 00:00:26,179
And he committed heresy in the sanctuary.

10
00:00:26,179 --> 00:00:28,179
He deemed its sanctity permissible and violated it.

11
00:00:28,179 --> 00:00:32,340
And heresy concerning Allah's names, Exalted is He.

12
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:34,340
Deviating from what they are.

13
00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:38,340
Whether by negating them, distorting their meaning,

14
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:43,340
or naming other than Allah with them, such as idols and false deities.

15
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,340
Allah, the Almighty, says:

16
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:49,340
“Allah's are the fairest names. Invoke Him by them. And leave the company of those who blaspheme His names. They will be requited what they do.” (7:180)

17
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:53,340
“Allah's are the fairest names. Invoke Him by them. And leave the company of those who blaspheme His names. They will be requited what they do.” (7:180)

18
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:56,340
“Allah's are the fairest names. Invoke Him by them. And leave the company of those who blaspheme His names. They will be requited what they do.” (7:180)

19
00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:59,429
And heresy concerning Allah's signs, Exalted is He.

20
00:00:59,429 --> 00:01:04,430
To deviate from the truth out of stubbornness, denial, and arrogance.

21
00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:06,430
And from this is Allah's saying, the Almighty:

22
00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:12,430
“Lo! those who distort Our revelations are not hid from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who cometh secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what ye will. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.” (41:40)

23
00:01:12,430 --> 00:01:16,560
And the common usage in our time is to use the word "heretic" (mulhid)

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,560
for one who deviates from the truth

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,560
by denying the existence of Allah, Exalted is He.
