00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.929
Summary of Sunni concepts

00:00:08.929 --> 00:00:15.140
The relationship between worship, righteousness, and good character

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:20.140
Because it was worship in its comprehensive sense, as Ibn Taymiyyah defined it

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:28.140
A comprehensive name for everything that God loves and is pleased with, whether outward and hidden words and deeds

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:35.140
He defined righteousness as a name given to all goodness, benevolence, and virtue

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:40.140
Or it is a comprehensive word for all the qualities of goodness

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:48.140
God Almighty said: “Righteousness is not that you turn your faces towards the east and the west.”

00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:57.140
But righteous is he who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:02.140
He gave money out of love for his relatives, orphans, and the poor

00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:10.140
And he built the way and beggars and freed slaves, and he established prayer and paid zakat

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:19.140
And those who fulfill their promise when they make a covenant, and are patient in times of hardship, adversity, and times of distress

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:25.140
Those are the ones who are truthful and those are the pious

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:33.140
Mentioning the pillars of faith, desirable and obligatory spending, prayer, fulfillment of covenants, and patience

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:39.140
Thus, righteousness combined belief, worship, and morals

00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:45.140
In this way, righteousness overlaps or is synonymous with worship in its comprehensive sense

00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:50.140
When the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was asked about righteousness and sin

00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:55.140
He said: Righteousness is good character. Narrated by Muslim

00:01:55.140 --> 00:02:03.140
This is a special meaning that falls short of righteousness in the field of morals, and it is an additional rhetorical shortcoming

00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:10.139
It means that good character is a great pillar of righteousness, not that it is all of righteousness

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:16.139
This is as he, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Hajj is Arafat

00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:21.139
What is meant is that it is its greatest pillar because Hajj is restricted to it

00:02:21.139 --> 00:02:30.210
Thus it becomes clear that good character is a great pillar of righteousness and worship in its comprehensive sense

00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:35.340
Just as righteousness intersects with worship in its comprehensive sense

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:41.340
It also overlaps with piety, as there is a generality and a specificity between them

00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:46.340
If it is combined in remembrance, righteousness is directed to acts of obedience

00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:50.340
Piety is directed towards avoiding things that are forbidden

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:54.340
If they are separated, they will reunite with each other
