00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.150
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:14.150
The various factions that oppose Islam and its divine methodology.

00:00:14.150 --> 00:00:18.660
Everyone who opposes Islam and its divine methodology,

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:23.660
does so only out of caprice, far removed from true knowledge and sound reasoning.

00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:27.730
They fall into one of four categories.

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.

00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:41.729
Second, those who oppose textual evidence with analogy and personal opinion.

00:00:41.729 --> 00:00:44.789
These people claim to possess deep fiqh in the religion.

00:00:44.789 --> 00:00:50.789
Third, those who oppose the evidence with mere subjective taste and emotional experience.

00:00:50.789 --> 00:00:53.789
They call themselves the people of ultimate truth.

00:00:53.789 --> 00:00:57.789
In contrast to the scholars who adhere to the legal evidence,

00:00:57.789 --> 00:01:00.789
whom they label as the people of the outward law.

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."

00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:09.819
Fourth, those who oppose the divine law with political expediency.

00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:12.819
Such as tyrannical rulers,

00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:17.819
who violate the law of Allah in order to establish their own dominion,

00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:19.819
and who have no concern for the consequences of doing so.

00:01:19.819 --> 00:01:24.530
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
