00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.019
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:12.109
Security.

00:00:12.109 --> 00:00:14.109
Security is the opposite of fear.

00:00:14.109 --> 00:00:17.179
To grant someone security is the opposite of causing them fear.

00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:20.179
Allah the Almighty swore by Makkah, saying:

00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:22.179
"And this secure city."

00:00:22.179 --> 00:00:24.179
Meaning, the place of security.

00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:27.179
And the Almighty said regarding the people of Paradise:

00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:31.179
“Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.” (44:51)

00:00:31.179 --> 00:00:34.179
Meaning, they are secure therein from every unpleasant thing.

00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:37.240
A place of safety is a location of security.

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.240
The Almighty said:

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.240
"Then grant him safe passage."

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.240
Whoever contemplates the verses of the Noble Qur'an,

00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.240
Will see that they speak of two levels of security.

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.240
Security at the level of individuals.

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.240
Psychological security.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.240
And security at the collective level.

00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.429
The Ummah.

00:00:58.429 --> 00:01:00.429
Regarding psychological security,

00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:06.430
We see that the Qur'an links the firmness of the creed of Tawhid in the human soul,

00:01:06.430 --> 00:01:08.430
With security and tranquility.

00:01:08.430 --> 00:01:10.430
Conversely,

00:01:10.430 --> 00:01:14.430
Those whose hearts faith has not permeated,

00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:18.430
Are deprived of tranquility and psychological security.

00:01:18.430 --> 00:01:21.430
They live in fear and trepidation.

00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:25.430
They do not know a purpose for their existence in this universe.

00:01:25.430 --> 00:01:27.430
The Almighty said:

00:01:27.430 --> 00:01:32.430
"Which of the two parties is more deserving of security, if you should know?"

00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:37.430
“Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided.” (6:82)

00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:41.560
“Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided.” (6:82)

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.560
As for collective security,

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.560
It is in His saying, the Almighty:

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.560
“Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.” (24:55)

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.560
“Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.” (24:55)

00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:01.560
“Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.” (24:55)

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.560
“Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.” (24:55)
