00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.960
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:13.300
Contemplation precedes mindful remembrance.

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:15.300
Allah Almighty says:

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:23.300
"[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, that they may contemplate its verses and that those of understanding may take heed."

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:29.300
The conjunction of taking heed with contemplation indicates that they are two distinct matters,

00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:35.369
and that contemplation is a stage that precedes mindful remembrance and leads to it.

00:00:35.369 --> 00:00:44.369
The verse also indicates that a person attains this mindful remembrance and benefits from the Qur'an in proportion to their discernment and intellect.

00:00:44.369 --> 00:00:48.979
