00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.580
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:11.730
The tribulation of alienation.

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.

00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:21.730
A society in which acts of disobedience have become widespread.

00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:26.730
And in which deviant concepts regarding creed and conduct have proliferated.

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.730
Consequently, the one who holds fast to his religion feels a sense of alienation.

00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:33.729
He fears for himself deviation and a lack of steadfastness in the faith.

00:00:33.729 --> 00:00:37.729
For the one who holds fast to his religion during times of tribulation,

00:00:37.729 --> 00:00:39.729
Is like one grasping a burning coal.

00:00:39.729 --> 00:00:42.729
As has been mentioned in the authentic hadith.

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:

00:00:48.729 --> 00:00:50.729
"Glad tidings to the strangers."

00:00:50.729 --> 00:00:54.729
It was asked, "Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah?"

00:00:55.729 --> 00:00:56.729
He replied:

00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:16.370
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
