2
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:14,150
The various factions that oppose Islam and its divine methodology.

3
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:18,660
Everyone who opposes Islam and its divine methodology,

4
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:23,660
does so only out of caprice, far removed from true knowledge and sound reasoning.

5
00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:27,730
They fall into one of four categories.

6
00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:35,729
First, those who oppose it with what they presume to be rational proofs, which they prioritize over the revealed texts.

7
00:00:35,729 --> 00:00:41,729
Second, those who oppose textual evidence with analogy and personal opinion.

8
00:00:41,729 --> 00:00:44,789
These people claim to possess deep fiqh in the religion.

9
00:00:44,789 --> 00:00:50,789
Third, those who oppose the evidence with mere subjective taste and emotional experience.

10
00:00:50,789 --> 00:00:53,789
They call themselves the people of ultimate truth.

11
00:00:53,789 --> 00:00:57,789
In contrast to the scholars who adhere to the legal evidence,

12
00:00:57,789 --> 00:01:00,789
whom they label as the people of the outward law.

13
00:01:00,789 --> 00:01:05,819
Or they say, "You are the people of the apparent, while we are the people of the inner reality."

14
00:01:05,819 --> 00:01:09,819
Fourth, those who oppose the divine law with political expediency.

15
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:12,819
Such as tyrannical rulers,

16
00:01:12,819 --> 00:01:17,819
who violate the law of Allah in order to establish their own dominion,

17
00:01:17,819 --> 00:01:19,819
and who have no concern for the consequences of doing so.
