00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,289
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,289 --> 00:00:11,289
Creed between reason and revelation.

3
00:00:11,289 --> 00:00:17,699
Sound reason must necessarily align with authentic revelation.

4
00:00:17,699 --> 00:00:21,730
The Noble Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah.

5
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:24,730
For two definitive proofs can never contradict one another.

6
00:00:24,730 --> 00:00:28,730
If a contradiction appears between reason and revelation,

7
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:32,729
then either the reasoning is flawed and not sound,

8
00:00:32,729 --> 00:00:35,729
or the transmitted text is not authentic.

9
00:00:35,729 --> 00:00:39,729
When a contradiction is perceived, revelation takes precedence.

10
00:00:39,729 --> 00:00:42,729
It is mandatory to believe in what revelation establishes,

11
00:00:42,729 --> 00:00:45,729
even if the intellect is bewildered in its understanding.

12
00:00:45,729 --> 00:00:49,729
For creed may indeed contain matters that baffle the intellect,

13
00:00:49,729 --> 00:00:53,729
yet it never contains anything that the intellect deems impossible.

14
00:00:53,729 --> 00:00:57,729
Nothing from the Book or the authentic Sunnah is contradicted,

15
00:00:57,729 --> 00:01:00,729
even if it pertains to solitary hadiths,

16
00:01:00,729 --> 00:01:02,729
by reason, analogy,

17
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,730
spiritual intuition, or mystical unveiling,

18
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:07,730
nor by the statement of any sheikh or imam,

19
00:01:07,730 --> 00:01:10,750
or anything of that nature.

00:01:10,750 --> 00:01:13,750
