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

00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:11,730
The tribulation of alienation.

3
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:19,730
This occurs when a Muslim finds himself, along with a small number of his brethren, in a society that has turned away from the law of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.

4
00:00:19,730 --> 00:00:21,730
A society in which acts of disobedience have become widespread.

5
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:26,730
And in which deviant concepts regarding creed and conduct have proliferated.

As has been mentioned in the authentic hadith.

11
00:00:42,729 --> 00:00:48,729
The praise and commendation of these strangers has been recorded in the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

12
00:00:48,729 --> 00:00:50,729
"Glad tidings to the strangers."

13
00:00:50,729 --> 00:00:54,729
It was asked, "Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah?"

14
00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:56,729
He replied:
