1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,740 A summary of the core concepts of the Ahl al-Sunnah. 2 00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:12,740 The tribulation of shirk (polytheism) and kufr (disbelief) that expels one from the fold of Islam. 3 00:00:12,740 --> 00:00:16,309 Allah, the Almighty, has termed this a "tribulation" (fitnah). 4 00:00:16,309 --> 00:00:18,309 This is found in His saying: 5 00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:21,309 “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.” (2:191) 6 00:00:21,309 --> 00:00:24,309 This calamity is a tribulation for the one who falls into it, 7 00:00:24,309 --> 00:00:30,309 In that he would be eternally in the Fire on the Day of Resurrection should he die in that state. 8 00:00:30,309 --> 00:00:36,310 It is also a tribulation for the people, as the leaders of disbelief lead them astray and spread disbelief among them. 9 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:41,310 A believer must be wary of shirk and never feel secure from it regarding his own soul. 10 00:00:41,310 --> 00:00:44,310 Rather, he must constantly examine its various forms and manifestations. 11 00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:46,310 Among the most severe of these today 12 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:49,310 Is shirk directed toward Allah, the Almighty, in His worship, 13 00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:51,310 Or in His legislation and obedience, 14 00:00:51,310 --> 00:00:54,310 Or in one’s allegiance and love. 15 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:58,310 And who can feel secure from shirk after Ibrahim, peace be upon him? 16 00:00:58,310 --> 00:01:02,310 Allah, the Almighty, says regarding His Khalil (Intimate Friend) and his supplication to his Lord: 17 00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:10,310 "And [mention] when Ibrahim said, 'My Lord, make this city secure and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.'" 18 00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:15,310 "My Lord, indeed they have led astray many among the people." 19 00:01:15,310 --> 00:01:19,310 “My Lord! Lo! they have led many of mankind astray. But whoso followeth me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeyeth me - Still Thou art Forgiving, Merciful.” (14:36) 20 00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:23,310 “My Lord! Lo! they have led many of mankind astray. But whoso followeth me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeyeth me - Still Thou art Forgiving, Merciful.” (14:36) 21 00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:25,439 Below the level of major shirk 22 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:27,439 Is a lesser tribulation, 23 00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:30,439 Yet it remains a dangerous one: 24 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:33,439 The tribulation of minor shirk, 25 00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:35,439 Such as showing off (riya') and self-admiration ('ujb), 26 00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:38,439 Or uttering polytheistic phrases unintentionally, 27 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:41,439 Like swearing by other than Allah. 28 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:45,180 The tribulation of doctrinal hypocrisy (nifaq). 29 00:01:45,180 --> 00:01:49,489 This is a tribulation for the hypocrite in this world, 30 00:01:49,489 --> 00:01:53,489 By committing this base and despicable character trait, 31 00:01:53,489 --> 00:01:56,489 Which is founded upon deception, treachery, and betrayal. 32 00:01:56,489 --> 00:01:59,489 It is also a tribulation for him on the Day of Resurrection, 33 00:01:59,489 --> 00:02:03,489 As his abode will be in the lowest depths of the Fire. 34 00:02:03,489 --> 00:02:06,549 Furthermore, hypocrisy is a tribulation for the Muslims, 35 00:02:06,549 --> 00:02:09,550 Due to the deception it causes among them, 36 00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:11,550 And the siding with the disbelievers against them, 37 00:02:11,550 --> 00:02:14,550 And exposing the private affairs of the Muslims to the disbelievers, 38 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:18,550 And the discord they sow among the Muslims, 39 00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:20,550 And their cheating and abandonment of them, 40 00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:23,550 And their hatred for the rule of the Shari'ah and its people. 41 00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:28,189 The tribulation of innovations (bid'ah) and their proponents. 42 00:02:28,189 --> 00:02:31,900 This is a tribulation for the innovators themselves, 43 00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:34,900 Due to the misguidance they commit against their own souls, 44 00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:36,900 And the leading of others astray, 45 00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:39,900 By deviating from that which was held by 46 00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,900 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and his Companions. 47 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:45,900 And due to what they expose themselves to 48 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:47,900 Of punishment on the Day of Resurrection, 49 00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,900 While they think they are doing good deeds. 50 00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:54,900 Among the most severe of innovations 51 00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:56,900 Is the tribulation of the Khawarij, 52 00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:58,900 Who declare Muslims to be disbelievers, 53 00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:00,900 And deem their blood lawful to shed. 54 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:02,900 And the tribulation of the Murji'ah, 55 00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:05,900 Who spread corruption and immorality 56 00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:07,900 Through their corrupt creed, 57 00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:10,900 For according to them, faith is merely affirmation (in the heart), 58 00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,900 Regardless of what a person does. 59 00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:15,900 Innovations are of two types: 60 00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:17,900 A type that expels one from the fold of Islam, 61 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:19,900 Such as the innovation of the Rafidah Shi'a, 62 00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:22,900 In whom major shirk has gathered, 63 00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,900 Along with their extremism regarding their Imams, 64 00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:27,900 Their belief in their infallibility, 65 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:29,900 And their belief that they possess knowledge of the unseen. 66 00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:32,900 They are the worst enemies of the Ahl al-Sunnah. 67 00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,900 And an innovation that does not expel one from the fold of Islam, 68 00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,900 For those whose innovation has not led them into shirk 69 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:41,900 Or the kufr that expels one from the fold of Islam. 70 00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:44,469 The tribulation of doubts (shubuhat), 71 00:03:44,469 --> 00:03:46,469 And the clothing of truth with falsehood. 72 00:03:46,469 --> 00:03:50,080 This is one of the effects of 73 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080 The tribulation caused by the people of disbelief, innovation, and hypocrisy, 74 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,080 Who never cease to stir up doubts, 75 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,080 Cloaking truth with falsehood, 76 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,080 Distorting correct concepts, 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,080 And twisting words out of their proper contexts, 78 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,080 Interpreting them to incite tribulation, 79 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,080 And to deceive people, 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080 By making truth appear as falsehood, 81 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,080 And falsehood as truth. 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,079 As Allah, the Almighty, said regarding them: 83 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,079 “He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others (which are) allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation save Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.” (3:7) 84 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,079 “He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others (which are) allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation save Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.” (3:7) 85 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,079 Seeking tribulation, 86 00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:26,079 And seeking its interpretation. 87 00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:28,180 This tribulation is among the most severe 88 00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:30,180 Types of tribulations today, 89 00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:33,180 Especially since the enemies of the faith and the Sunnah 90 00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:35,180 Have harnessed for it a massive 91 00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:37,180 Media apparatus, 92 00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:40,180 Including audio, visual, and written media, 93 00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:42,180 To lead people astray, 94 00:04:42,180 --> 00:04:45,180 And to confuse them regarding their religion. 95 00:04:45,180 --> 00:04:47,180 There is no protector today against the decree of Allah 96 00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:49,180 Except for those upon whom He has mercy, 97 00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:52,180 And who hold fast to the Book of Allah, the Almighty, 98 00:04:52,180 --> 00:04:55,180 And the Sunnah of His Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 99 00:04:55,180 --> 00:04:59,180 And the understanding of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them. 100 00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,560 The tribulation of desires (shahawat). 101 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,649 This relates to the destruction of morality, 102 00:05:05,649 --> 00:05:07,649 The prevalence of sins, 103 00:05:07,649 --> 00:05:09,649 And the suspension of enjoining good 104 00:05:09,649 --> 00:05:11,649 And forbidding evil. 105 00:05:11,649 --> 00:05:14,680 It has appeared in our contemporary reality today 106 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680 In its most severe form. 107 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,680 The devils among mankind and jinn have mobilized 108 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,680 All their power and media tools 109 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,680 To destroy the morality of the people, 110 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680 And to drown them in desires and debauchery, 111 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680 Using women 112 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,680 As a tool to seduce through desires, 113 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,680 By way of their display of adornment (tabarruj), 114 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,680 And their mixing with men and being in seclusion with them, 115 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,680 Which results in corruption of the five necessities: 116 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,680 Religion, intellect, 117 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,680 Life, lineage, and wealth. 118 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680 Especially when these sins are not denounced, 119 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,680 And are met with silence. 120 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,290 The tribulation of alienation (ghurbah). 121 00:05:54,290 --> 00:05:58,410 This occurs when a Muslim finds himself 122 00:05:58,410 --> 00:06:00,410 And a few of his brothers in a society 123 00:06:00,410 --> 00:06:03,410 That has turned away from the law of Allah, the Almighty, 124 00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:05,410 Where sins have become rampant, 125 00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:08,410 And deviant concepts have spread 126 00:06:08,410 --> 00:06:10,410 In creed and conduct. 127 00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:13,410 Thus, the one who holds fast to his religion feels alienated, 128 00:06:13,410 --> 00:06:15,410 And fears for himself deviation 129 00:06:15,410 --> 00:06:17,410 And a lack of steadfastness in the religion, 130 00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:20,410 Because the one who holds fast to his religion in times of tribulation 131 00:06:20,410 --> 00:06:23,410 Is like one holding onto burning coals, 132 00:06:23,410 --> 00:06:26,410 As stated in the authentic hadith. 133 00:06:26,410 --> 00:06:29,410 The "strangers" (ghuraba') have been praised and commended 134 00:06:29,410 --> 00:06:32,410 In the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him: 135 00:06:32,410 --> 00:06:34,410 "Glad tidings to the strangers." 136 00:06:34,410 --> 00:06:38,410 It was asked, "Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah?" 137 00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:40,410 He said: 138 00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:42,410 "A few righteous people 139 00:06:42,410 --> 00:06:44,410 Among many evil people; 140 00:06:44,410 --> 00:06:48,410 Those who disobey them are more numerous than those who obey them." 141 00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:50,410 And in another hadith: 142 00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:54,410 "Those who rectify what the people have corrupted." 143 00:06:54,410 --> 00:06:58,240 The tribulation of family and children. 144 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,980 Allah, the Almighty, said: 145 00:07:01,980 --> 00:07:03,980 "O you who have believed, 146 00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:06,980 “O ye who believe! Lo! among your wives and your children there are enemies for you, therefor beware of them. And if ye efface and overlook and forgive, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (64:14) 147 00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:09,980 [They] are enemies to you, so beware of them." 148 00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:11,980 The reason this is considered a tribulation 149 00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:14,980 Is because of the pressure that children and spouses 150 00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:17,980 Exert upon their guardian, 151 00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:20,980 Pushing him to fall into sins, 152 00:07:20,980 --> 00:07:23,980 Or to abandon Jihad in the cause of Allah because of them, 153 00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:26,980 Or causing him to earn unlawful wealth, 154 00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:29,980 And to spend it on unlawful things for their sake. 155 00:07:29,980 --> 00:07:33,779 The tribulation of the world and its adornments. 156 00:07:33,779 --> 00:07:38,509 Under this tribulation are many forms: 157 00:07:38,509 --> 00:07:40,509 Including the tribulation of status, 158 00:07:40,509 --> 00:07:42,509 And the love of fame and leadership. 159 00:07:42,509 --> 00:07:44,509 The tribulation of women, 160 00:07:44,509 --> 00:07:47,509 And the tribulation of wealth and what relates to it, 161 00:07:47,509 --> 00:07:51,509 Such as consuming usury (riba) and engaging in forbidden sales and contracts. 162 00:07:51,509 --> 00:07:54,509 The tribulation of knowledge and scholars, 163 00:07:54,509 --> 00:07:58,509 And what relates to it, such as speaking about Allah without knowledge, 164 00:07:58,509 --> 00:08:01,509 Seeking the world through knowledge, 165 00:08:01,509 --> 00:08:03,509 Not acting upon one's knowledge, 166 00:08:03,509 --> 00:08:05,509 Envy among scholars, 167 00:08:05,509 --> 00:08:08,509 And a scholar's love for prominence and fame. 168 00:08:08,509 --> 00:08:12,089 The tribulation of disagreement and division, 169 00:08:12,089 --> 00:08:14,089 And fighting among Muslims. 170 00:08:14,089 --> 00:08:17,269 This is a blind tribulation; 171 00:08:17,269 --> 00:08:21,269 We have seen its corruptions in early Islamic history, 172 00:08:21,269 --> 00:08:23,269 And in modern times, 173 00:08:23,269 --> 00:08:26,269 And how it leads its people to failure, 174 00:08:26,269 --> 00:08:28,269 And the victory of the enemies over them, 175 00:08:28,269 --> 00:08:32,269 And the great corruption that results from that 176 00:08:32,269 --> 00:08:34,269 Regarding the religion and its people. 177 00:08:34,269 --> 00:08:37,139 The tribulation of the rulers. 178 00:08:37,139 --> 00:08:42,870 Many of the scholars of the salaf feared this tribulation, 179 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:44,870 And warned against it. 180 00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:49,870 It is most severe for scholars and callers to Islam, 181 00:08:49,870 --> 00:08:51,870 And its consequence is the corruption of the religion, 182 00:08:51,870 --> 00:08:54,870 And the concealing of the truth or cloaking it with falsehood, 183 00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:58,899 For the sake of a fleeting portion of the world. 184 00:08:58,899 --> 00:09:01,899 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 185 00:09:01,899 --> 00:09:05,940 "Whoever approaches the doors of the rulers will be put to trial." 186 00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:08,940 Narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Ahmad, 187

Muslim in what he dislikes regarding his own self, his family, 190 00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:24,279 His wealth, or his loved ones. 191 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:29,279 Allah, the Almighty, makes His allies steadfast through patience and certainty, 192 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,279 And contentment with Him, the Glorified, 193 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:33,279 And having good expectations of Him, 194

it. 196 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:46,279 In this tribulation is a test of the believer's faith and his seeking of reward. 197 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:49,279 People are equal during times of ease, 198

00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,720 "And the Ruwaybidah will speak." 213 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,720 It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah," 214 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,720 "Who are the Ruwaybidah?" 215

Ahmad. 218 00:10:52,750 --> 00:10:55,879 And authenticated by al-Albani. 219 00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:58,879 Among the contemporary manifestations of distorting matters, 220 00:10:58,879 -->

refuge from his evil after every prayer. 251 00:13:37,419 --> 00:13:41,419 This is because his tribulation is among the most severe of tribulations. 252 00:13:41,419 --> 00:13:46,419 For most people will be deceived by him when they see him bring the dead to life by the permission of Allah. 253 00:13:46,419 --> 00:13:49,419 The ruins will yield their treasures. 254 00:13:49,419 --> 00:13:53,419

tribulation of death, 263 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:34,759 It is what the servant encounters at the time of his passing, as the devil attempts to lead him astray before his soul departs. 264 00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:38,759 And what the servant encounters in his grave regarding the trial of the grave. 265 00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:43,759 And the questioning by the two angels regarding his Lord, his
