1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,800 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,800 Reform is impossible without confronting falsehood. 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,440 Whoever aspires to reform and ward off corruption from the Ummah without the Sunnah of confrontation, 4 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,440 deviates from the methodology of the prophets and the way of Allah upon His earth. 5 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,440 For the cessation of truth from confronting falsehood 6 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,440 is a signature on a treaty of surrender to corruption. 7 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,439 Just as Allah the Exalted has said: 8 00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:39,439 “So they routed them by Allah's leave and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of that which He willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His) creatures.” (2:251) 9 00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:43,439 “So they routed them by Allah's leave and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of that which He willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His) creatures.” (2:251) 10 00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:48,439 Thus, abandoning confrontation leads to the emergence of corruption upon the earth. 11 00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:53,439 Its corruption manifests through the prevalence of polytheism, injustice, and immorality. 12 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:58,439 Whereas following this Sunnah is among the favors of Allah upon the worlds, 13 00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:02,439 because through it, truth is established and falsehood is eradicated.
