A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.570
Consolation.

00:00:11.570 --> 00:00:15.570
Consolation is a noble gateway among the gateways of virtuous character.

00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:18.699
Let us learn to console others.

00:00:18.699 --> 00:00:20.699
And let us strive to alleviate their distress.

00:00:20.699 --> 00:00:24.699
Even while we are living through our own difficult moments.

00:00:24.699 --> 00:00:27.789
For the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:27.789 --> 00:00:31.789
while suffering the ordeal of hiding from the disbelievers in the cave,

00:00:31.789 --> 00:00:35.789
consoled Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and said to him:

00:00:35.789 --> 00:00:40.020
“If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in the cave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him with hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the nethermost, while Allah's Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is Mighty, Wise.” (9:40)

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:46.020
Consolation is offered through one’s self, one’s status, one’s wealth, one’s knowledge, and kind words.
