1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,640
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,630
The science of logic.

3
00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:15,630
A discipline that discusses concepts and propositions.

4
00:00:15,630 --> 00:00:18,629
And the methodology for perceiving and verifying them.

5
00:00:18,629 --> 00:00:22,629
Its proponents claim that it consists of general rules.

6
00:00:22,629 --> 00:00:26,629
Which, if observed, protect the mind from errors in thought.

7
00:00:26,629 --> 00:00:28,629
Yet its greatest flaw.

8
00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:30,629
Is its reliance solely upon human reason.

9
00:00:30,629 --> 00:00:33,630
And elevating it to a rival of the sacred texts.

10
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:38,950
Even if there are some particulars within the science of logic that may be of benefit.

11
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:43,950
They are eclipsed by the errors and obfuscations it contains.

12
00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:48,950
Therefore, it is better to avoid it, fleeing from falling into its falsehoods.

13
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:52,950
This is in line with what Allah the Almighty said regarding intoxicants.

14
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:55,950
“They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations, that haply ye may reflect.” (2:219)

15
00:00:55,950 --> 00:01:00,950
“They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations, that haply ye may reflect.” (2:219)

16
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:03,950
“They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations, that haply ye may reflect.” (2:219)

17
00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:10,109
If there is a necessity to understand it and benefit from the truths it contains.

18
00:01:10,109 --> 00:01:13,109
And to refute the falsehoods within it.

19
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:16,109
Then it should be studied only by certain scholars.

20
00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:19,109
Those who are well-versed in the sciences of the Book and the Sunnah.

21
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:24,109
And who hold fast to them to avoid falling into its slips and deviations.

22
00:01:24,109 --> 00:01:26,109
They should study alongside it the book.

23
00:01:26,109 --> 00:01:32,109
"Refutation of the Logicians" by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him.

24
00:01:32,109 --> 00:01:37,109
For he provided great benefit in it, excelled, and dismantled it from its foundations.

25
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:43,109
He preceded Europe in this, as Hegel critiqued it centuries after him.
