00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.609
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:10.609
Emigration (Hijrah) unto Allah.

00:00:10.609 --> 00:00:16.949
Part of a person’s complete flight unto Allah and seeking refuge in Him

00:00:16.949 --> 00:00:20.949
is to abandon everything that hinders one from the path leading to Him.

00:00:20.949 --> 00:00:23.949
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:27.949
"The emigrant is one who abandons what Allah has forbidden."

00:00:27.949 --> 00:00:29.980
Agreed upon.

00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:34.049
And as Ibrahim, peace be upon him, said to his people:

00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:37.049
“And Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise.” (29:26)

00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:41.079
“And Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise.” (29:26)

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:46.079
It is a psychological emigration before it is a physical one.

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.079
In it, a person leaves behind everything in their environment and homeland

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.079
that obstructs them from reaching Allah.

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.079
For no matter how harsh or polluted a person’s environment may be,

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:01.079
they must strive to remain pure and sincere,

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.079
just as Allah brings forth pure milk from between filth and blood.

00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:11.239
Thus, their emigration becomes a complete transition from one state to another,

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.239
and from various attachments to a single bond,

00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.239
with nothing else competing for space in the soul.

00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.239
This is the perfection of detachment, sincerity, and submission to Allah the Exalted,

00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.239
along with tranquility and certainty in Him, glory be to Him.
