00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.609
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:14.660
Human beings possess two types of energy: sensory and spiritual.

00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:22.660
Sensory energy is the energy of the body, connected to the senses, nerves, and physiological functions.

00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:30.699
As for spiritual energy, no one knows its precise location or its true nature.

00:00:30.699 --> 00:00:39.700
However, it is defined as the conceptual thinking that perceives universals, abstract meanings, and higher values.

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:45.700
Such as justice, truth, virtue, beauty, and so forth.

00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:50.759
Humans share sensory energy with animals.

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:56.759
Yet, they are distinguished from them by spiritual energy, which animals do not possess.

00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:01.759
It is, therefore, considered a uniquely human energy.

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:06.819
The contemporary world, unfortunately led by the West,

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:11.819
utilizes this spiritual energy in only one domain.

00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:17.819
The domain of worldly science, with its various theories and applications.

00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:27.819
This is undoubtedly a vast field that opens immense, renewed horizons toward material progress and prosperity.

00:01:27.819 --> 00:01:34.819
However, the scope of this spiritual energy is far broader than the field of worldly science.

00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:38.819
It also encompasses the most elevated aspects of the human being.

00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:44.819
Creed, virtues, ethics, and numerous other values.

00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:48.819
It is essential to address all these aspects.

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:53.819
And to apply this energy to them in a correct and disciplined manner.

00:01:53.819 --> 00:01:57.819
So that worldly scientific development may be properly regulated.

00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:03.819
And so that human conduct in this worldly life may be regulated in general.
