00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.580
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:16.570
The divergence between those who believe in the Last Day and those who do not, or are heedless of it.

00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:18.570
Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, says:

00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:25.570
“They know only some appearance of the life of the world, and are heedless of the Hereafter.” (30:7)

00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:26.570
Consequently,

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:31.570
A person who believes in the Hereafter and prepares for it can never align

00:00:31.570 --> 00:00:36.570
With another who lives only for this world and expects nothing beyond it.

00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:42.570
These two can never agree on the assessment of a single matter in this life,

00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:46.570
Nor on a single one of its many values.

00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:53.570
Nor can they agree on a single judgment regarding an incident, a situation, or any affair.

00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:55.570
For each of them has a different scale,

00:00:55.570 --> 00:00:58.570
Each has a different perspective,

00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:05.569
And each has a different light by which they view things, events, values, and circumstances.

00:01:05.569 --> 00:01:08.569
The former sees only the outward appearance of worldly life,

00:01:08.569 --> 00:01:12.569
While the latter perceives the connections and brilliance that lie beyond the surface,

00:01:12.569 --> 00:01:16.569
And the laws that encompass both the manifest and the hidden,

00:01:16.569 --> 00:01:20.569
The unseen and the witnessed, the worldly life and the Hereafter,

00:01:20.569 --> 00:01:22.569
Death and life,

00:01:22.569 --> 00:01:25.569
The past, the present, and the future,

00:01:25.569 --> 00:01:28.569
And the world of humanity and the greater universe,

00:01:28.569 --> 00:01:32.569
Which includes both the living and the non-living.
