00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.929
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.929 --> 00:00:13.699
Islam is a universal and humanitarian religion.

00:00:13.699 --> 00:00:18.699
Allah Almighty says: "He is nothing but a reminder to the worlds." (Qur'an 68:52)

00:00:18.699 --> 00:00:23.699
Thus, the call of Islam knows no national borders or racism,

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:26.699
nor nationalism or tribalism.

00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:32.700
It does not recognize the artificial barriers that people erect for themselves on Earth,

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:36.700
or that are erected for them, and they contend for them.

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:41.700
It is a call that divides people only on the basis of piety,

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:45.700
not by color or race.

00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:52.759
Rather, it penetrates directly into their hearts, from the perspective of humanity as humanity.

00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:58.759
“O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (49:13)

00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.759
"And We have made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another." (Qur'an 49:13)

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.760
“O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (49:13)

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.760
"Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Qur'an 49:13)

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:16.760
And when we say "humanitarian," we mean that it is directed towards humankind

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:22.760
to liberate them from servitude to other humans to servitude to the Lord of humans.

00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.790
As for the concept of humanity in pre-Islamic (Jahili) thought,

00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:30.790
it is a cunning, modern, and rejected concept.

00:01:30.790 --> 00:01:33.790
It aims to demolish the creed of loyalty and disavowal,

00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:37.790
and the ritual of striving in the way of Allah Almighty.

00:01:37.790 --> 00:01:41.790
For, according to them, man is man's brother;

00:01:41.790 --> 00:01:45.790
there should be no criteria for love and hate for him.

00:01:45.790 --> 00:01:49.790
And brotherhood should not be based on religion, faith, and disbelief,

00:01:49.790 --> 00:01:55.790
because, according to them, this divides and destroys peace among the children of Adam.
