Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:09,310 --> 00:00:12,310
Why call to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic?

3
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:17,500
Muslims are obligated to call to Allah, the Exalted.

4
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:20,500
This is because it achieves several things.

5
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,500
Among the most important of these, firstly,

6
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:27,500
is that the caller achieves a form of servitude to Allah, the Exalted.

7
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:33,500
This is because calling to Him, like other acts of worship, is beloved by Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

8
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:36,500
So, calling is a means of worshipping Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

9
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,500
And it is not accepted by Allah, the Pure and High,

10
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:42,500
except by fulfilling the two conditions of worship:

11
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:49,500
Sincerity to Allah and following the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in it.

12
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:51,500
As Allah, the Exalted, said:

13
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:54,500
“Say: This is my Way: I call on Allah with sure knowledge. I and whosoever followeth me - Glory be to Allah! - and I am not of the idolaters.” (12:108)

14
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,500
“Say: This is my Way: I call on Allah with sure knowledge. I and whosoever followeth me - Glory be to Allah! - and I am not of the idolaters.” (12:108)

15
00:00:58,500 --> 00:00:59,689
Secondly,

16
00:00:59,689 --> 00:01:03,689
seeking reward and recompense from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

17
00:01:03,689 --> 00:01:09,689
Calling to Allah is among the most important righteous deeds and the best of actions and words.

18
00:01:09,689 --> 00:01:12,689
As Allah, the Exalted, said:

19
00:01:12,689 --> 00:01:18,689
And who is better in speech than one who calls to Allah and does righteous deeds,

20
00:01:18,689 --> 00:01:21,689
“And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto Him).” (41:33)

21
00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:25,689
And Allah has promised the believers, male and female,

22
00:01:25,689 --> 00:01:27,689
if they do righteous deeds,

23
00:01:27,689 --> 00:01:30,689
that He will give them a good life,

24
00:01:30,689 --> 00:01:34,689
and He will admit them to Paradise, where they will be provided for without account.

25
00:01:34,689 --> 00:01:36,689
Allah, the Exalted, said:

26
00:01:36,689 --> 00:01:45,689
“Whosoever doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, him verily we shall quicken with good life, and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.” (16:97)

27
00:01:45,689 --> 00:01:50,689
“Whosoever doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, him verily we shall quicken with good life, and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.” (16:97)

28
00:01:50,689 --> 00:01:52,689
And He, the Mighty and Majestic, said:

29
00:01:52,689 --> 00:01:58,689
“Whoso doeth an ill-deed, he will be repaid the like thereof, while whoso doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, (all) such will enter the Garden, where they will be nourished without stint.” (40:40)

30
00:01:58,689 --> 00:02:04,689
“Whoso doeth an ill-deed, he will be repaid the like thereof, while whoso doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, (all) such will enter the Garden, where they will be nourished without stint.” (40:40)

31
00:02:04,689 --> 00:02:06,849
Thirdly,

32
00:02:06,849 --> 00:02:09,849
bringing whomever Allah wills out of the worship of [other] servants

33
00:02:09,849 --> 00:02:13,849
to the worship of Him alone, without partner.

34
00:02:13,849 --> 00:02:19,849
And saving them, by His permission, the Pure and High, from misery in this world and from the punishment of the Hereafter.

35
00:02:19,849 --> 00:02:21,849
And among these also is

36
00:02:21,849 --> 00:02:23,849
returning the innovator to the Sunnah,

37
00:02:23,849 --> 00:02:28,849
and the disobedient sinner to obedience to Allah, the Pure and High.

38
