A Summary of the Fundamentals of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:13,060
The seeker of knowledge and contemplating the Qur'an

3
00:00:13,060 --> 00:00:18,920
The seeker of knowledge should begin by memorizing and contemplating the Qur'an,

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,920
seeking guidance in understanding it from the words of the earliest followers among the salaf (early generations).

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,920
At that point, Allah may grant him unique insights and pure guidance,

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,920
provided that he adheres to the general rules of contemplation,

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,920
and avoids anything contrary to the sacred law.

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,920
Thus, what Allah opens to him will be by way of valuable addition rather than contradiction.
