00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.289
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.289 --> 00:00:11.289
Creed between reason and revelation.

00:00:11.289 --> 00:00:17.699
Sound reason must necessarily align with authentic revelation.

00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:21.730
The Noble Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah.

00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:24.730
For two definitive proofs can never contradict one another.

00:00:24.730 --> 00:00:28.730
If a contradiction appears between reason and revelation,

00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:32.729
then either the reasoning is flawed and not sound,

00:00:32.729 --> 00:00:35.729
or the transmitted text is not authentic.

00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:39.729
When a contradiction is perceived, revelation takes precedence.

00:00:39.729 --> 00:00:42.729
It is mandatory to believe in what revelation establishes,

00:00:42.729 --> 00:00:45.729
even if the intellect is bewildered in its understanding.

00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:49.729
For creed may indeed contain matters that baffle the intellect,

00:00:49.729 --> 00:00:53.729
yet it never contains anything that the intellect deems impossible.

00:00:53.729 --> 00:00:57.729
Nothing from the Book or the authentic Sunnah is contradicted,

00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:00.729
even if it pertains to solitary hadiths,

00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:02.729
by reason, analogy,

00:01:02.729 --> 00:01:04.730
spiritual intuition, or mystical unveiling,

00:01:04.730 --> 00:01:07.730
nor by the statement of any sheikh or imam,

00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:10.750
or anything of that nature.

00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:13.750
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
