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

2
00:00:09,019 --> 00:00:11,859
Liberalism.

3
00:00:11,859 --> 00:00:15,859
Liberalism is derived from the word "liberty."

4
00:00:15,859 --> 00:00:19,859
It is an English word that means freedom.

5
00:00:19,859 --> 00:00:21,859
Thus, liberalism—

6
00:00:21,859 --> 00:00:25,859
Liberalism signifies liberation and emancipation.

7
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:32,859
It is intended to mean liberation from any constraint that restricts a person in their thinking, speech, or actions.

8
00:00:32,859 --> 00:00:37,859
This includes the constraints of the purified Sharia and the limits set by Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.

9
00:00:37,859 --> 00:00:41,859
In fact, this is the very reason for the emergence of liberal thought.

10
00:00:41,859 --> 00:00:44,859
It appeared among them as a reaction against religion—

11
00:00:44,859 --> 00:00:50,859
A religion that had been subjected to distortion and had led to the domination of the clergy over the people.

12
00:00:50,859 --> 00:00:54,859
So, instead of searching for the true religion,

13
00:00:54,859 --> 00:00:59,859
They inclined toward liberation from all religions, even the true religion.

14
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:04,859
Consequently, they fell into the servitude of whims, the devil, and base desires.

15
00:01:04,859 --> 00:01:13,859
Liberal philosophy continues to fight against religion and the fundamentalist orientation in general to this very day.

16
00:01:13,859 --> 00:01:17,859
Many parties in the West are based upon it today,

17
00:01:17,859 --> 00:01:20,859
Such as the Democratic Party in America.

18
00:01:20,859 --> 00:01:26,859
Meanwhile, the Republican Party is based upon fundamentalism, according to their understanding.

19
00:01:26,859 --> 00:01:32,859
Since freedom must necessarily have constraints to prevent it from harming others,

20
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:40,859
The liberals were forced to establish laws by which they claim to regulate rights among human beings.

21
00:01:40,859 --> 00:01:47,859
The final result was complete liberation from the constraints of religion alone,

22
00:01:47,859 --> 00:01:54,859
And a freedom restricted by man-made systems to regulate the relationship between people, as they claim.

23
00:01:54,859 --> 00:02:02,890
However, liberalism only permitted religiosity as a matter of personal freedom, not as a binding obligation.

24
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:07,890
Thus, they allowed for a personal religiosity that does not obligate others to anything.
