1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,669
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,669 --> 00:00:11,730
Boycotting.

3
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:14,730
It is a form of economic warfare.

4
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:18,730
Used by peoples and nations against those who show them hostility.

5
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:21,730
This has been known since ancient times.

6
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:25,730
An example of this is the boycott of the Banu Hashim by the Quraysh.

7
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:28,730
And their siege in the ravine of Abu Talib.

8
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:30,730
They would not trade with them.

9
00:00:30,730 --> 00:00:32,729
An economic boycott.

10
00:00:32,729 --> 00:00:36,729
Nor would they intermarry with them, a social boycott.

11
00:00:36,729 --> 00:00:39,729
And they prevented any aid from reaching them.

12
00:00:39,729 --> 00:00:45,729
Attempting by this means to dissuade the Messenger, peace be upon him, from his call.

13
00:00:45,729 --> 00:00:51,789
They wrote a document pledging to do so and hung it inside the Kaaba.

14
00:00:51,789 --> 00:00:54,859
The siege lasted for three years.

15
00:00:54,859 --> 00:00:58,859
Until Allah permitted the trial to end.

16
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:04,859
The termites—which are white ants—consumed this document.

17
00:01:04,859 --> 00:01:09,950
When the Quraysh saw that, they lifted the siege.

18
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:13,950
Among the examples of this from the side of the Muslims against the disbelievers:

19
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:19,950
What Thumamah Ibn Uthal, the leader of the Banu Hanifah, did after he embraced Islam.

20
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:24,950
He cut off the supplies that used to reach the Quraysh from the Banu Hanifah.

21
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:27,950
Until they ceased their harm against the Muslims.

22
00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:33,049
And the Messenger, peace be upon him, permitted him to do something in that regard.

23
00:01:33,049 --> 00:01:38,049
In the modern era, the West uses the weapon of boycotting with force.

24
00:01:38,049 --> 00:01:43,049
In the form of sanctions against any state that does not comply with its desires.

25
00:01:43,049 --> 00:01:48,049
Muslims do this driven by their faith.

26
00:01:48,049 --> 00:01:54,049
To support their religion and their Prophet, without the support of their own rulers.

27
00:01:54,049 --> 00:01:59,049
Nevertheless, the boycott bears fruit by the grace of Allah the Exalted.

28
00:01:59,049 --> 00:02:04,049
As happened years ago with the boycott of Danish products.

29
00:02:04,049 --> 00:02:08,050
Until the companies complained to their government.

30
00:02:08,050 --> 00:02:13,050
And the author of the film that mocked the Messenger, peace be upon him, retracted his mockery.

31
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:18,050
Indeed, he even entered into Islam after he learned about him.

32
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:23,080
Just as the boycott of French products is currently taking place.

33
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:30,080
Because a wicked newspaper published offensive cartoons of the noble Messenger, peace be upon him.

34
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,139
And because the French government did not prevent that.

35
00:02:34,139 --> 00:02:41,210
It is a powerful boycott that affects the economy of the state upon which it is imposed.

36
00:02:41,210 --> 00:02:45,210
It is sufficient for us, beyond the realistic impact on the enemies,

37
00:02:45,210 --> 00:02:50,210
That it serves as a demonstration of the Muslims' loyalty to their religion and their Prophet.

38
00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:56,210
And their disavowal of the people of disbelief and polytheism using whatever weapon they can.
