00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.990
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.990 --> 00:00:10.990
Using double standards.

00:00:10.990 --> 00:00:15.109
The duality of criteria.

00:00:15.109 --> 00:00:19.109
By this, we mean a person’s insistence on receiving their full rights.

00:00:19.109 --> 00:00:23.109
Yet, when it comes to others, they scrutinize their rights.

00:00:23.109 --> 00:00:27.109
Thus, the measure they use for themselves differs from the measure they use for others.

00:00:27.109 --> 00:00:31.109
This applies to all rights and spheres of life.

00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:33.109
It is a reprehensible character trait.

00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:36.109
It is encompassed by the general meaning of the words of Allah the Almighty:

00:00:36.109 --> 00:00:39.109
"Woe to those who give less than due,"

00:00:39.109 --> 00:00:43.109
"Who, when they take a measure from people, demand it in full."

00:00:43.109 --> 00:00:47.109
“But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.” (83:3)

00:00:47.109 --> 00:00:50.109
And the warning of 'Woe' contained therein.

00:00:50.109 --> 00:00:55.179
A Muslim is required to love for their brother what they love for themselves.

00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:58.179
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:58.179 --> 00:01:04.180
"None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."

00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:06.180
Agreed upon.

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:11.180
And that one should be fair to others as they are to themselves, and treat people as they would wish to be treated.
