00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,580
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:13,119
The Islamic perspective on the vulnerable.

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,120
Allah decrees that some people experience weakness in certain areas.

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,120
For a wisdom known only to Him, glorified be He.

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,120
You may find one who is blind, for instance.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,120
You may find another who is mentally disabled.

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,120
A third who is missing one or more of his limbs.

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,119
Or one who is destitute and impoverished.

9
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,119
Or one suffering from a chronic illness.

10
00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:36,119
And so on.

11
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:40,119
Yet, in Islam, these individuals possess immense spiritual value.

12
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:44,119
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

13
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:48,119
"You are only granted provision and victory through your weak ones."

14
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:51,119
Recorded by al-Tirmidhi and Ahmad.

15
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:53,119
And authenticated by al-Albani.

16
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,179
Contrast this with Hitler,

17
00:00:55,179 --> 00:00:58,179
Who would dispose of wounded German soldiers,

18
00:00:58,179 --> 00:01:01,179
Because the cost of their treatment,

19
00:01:01,179 --> 00:01:04,180
Yielded no material benefit.

20
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,180
Others follow in his footsteps,

21
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:10,180
Believing likewise that the vulnerable deserve death,

22
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:14,180
Which they term "euthanasia."

23
00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:16,340
Furthermore, one who appears weak,

24
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:19,340
Or suffers from a sensory impairment,

25
00:01:19,340 --> 00:01:22,340
May possess other virtues,

26
00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:26,340
That many who appear healthy do not attain.

27
00:01:26,340 --> 00:01:28,340
How many a scholar of fiqh,

28
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:31,340
Or a renowned reciter from the villages,

29
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:33,340
Was blind.
