00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.640
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:13.220
Tranquility, serenity, and steadfastness.

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:19.219
Tranquility, serenity, and steadfastness all share the same or a very similar meaning.

00:00:19.219 --> 00:00:27.219
Serenity (sakīnah) is a form derived from stillness, representing the tranquility and stability of the heart.

00:00:27.219 --> 00:00:29.219
Just as Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, has said:

00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:37.219
“He it is Who sent down peace of reassurance into the hearts of the believers that they might add faith unto their faith. Allah's are the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is ever Knower, Wise -” (48:4)

00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:43.219
Steadfastness, likewise, is stability, stillness, and the absence of doubt or agitation.

00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:48.219
Thus, the essence of tranquility, serenity, and steadfastness resides in the heart.

00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:51.219
Its effects are manifested through the limbs.
