1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,859 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. 2 00:00:08,859 --> 00:00:14,859 Forming alliances with tyrannical regimes and the danger this poses to steadfastness. 3 00:00:14,859 --> 00:00:19,410 Some preachers or Islamic groups believe, 4 00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:27,410 due to the pressures and trials faced by the youth of the Islamic awakening and its figures, and the delay in seeing results, 5 00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:32,409 that they should build bridges with regimes that have abandoned ruling by the law of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic. 6 00:00:32,409 --> 00:00:43,409 And that alliances should be formed with nationalist or secular parties for joint action in the interest of the Ummah and the nation, and to fight a common enemy. 7 00:00:43,409 --> 00:00:52,409 Based on this, the Muslim preacher stands side-by-side with the secularist, the nationalist, or the Rafidi, 8 00:00:52,409 --> 00:00:59,409 in the same assemblies, known as parliamentary, popular, or national councils. 9 00:00:59,409 --> 00:01:06,409 In these councils, concessions regarding the truth and its fundamental principles begin, the first of which is, 10 00:01:06,409 --> 00:01:12,409 acknowledging and consenting to enter these councils that legislate laws other than those of Allah. 11 00:01:12,409 --> 00:01:16,409 Those who enter them swear an oath to respect them. 12 00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:25,409 Here, the goal of the preachers shifts from striving to dismantle these disbelieving councils to becoming pillars of them. 13 00:01:25,409 --> 00:01:29,409 This is sufficient as a form of misguidance and humiliation for the people. 14 00:01:29,409 --> 00:01:38,409 The most dangerous aspect of these practices is the destruction of the doctrine of loyalty and disavowal (al-wala' wa al-bara') and the dilution of the fundamental principles of this religion. 15 00:01:38,409 --> 00:01:46,439 The fact that preachers fall into these errors brings joy to the heads of the tyrants and the icons of ignorance (jahiliyyah). 16 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:54,439 When they grow weary of methods of oppression, brutality, and imprisonment—which often only solidify adherence to the call— 17 00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:57,439 they offer the preachers something even more dangerous. 18 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,439 It is an attempt to contain them through enticement and false promises. 19 00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:05,439 The jahiliyyah announces to the Islamists: 20 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:11,439 "Go ahead, work for Islam through the state's institutions and its councils." 21 00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:15,439 And here, the nets ensnare those who are susceptible, 22 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:21,439 those who attempt to cover these concessions with some pseudo-legal justifications, 23 00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:25,439 such as their claim of preserving the concepts of Sharia, 24 00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:30,439 or at times by arguing that legal rulings (fatwas) change with changing circumstances, 25 00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:34,439 or by citing necessity and the removal of hardship, 26 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:40,439 or by saying, "We want to pull the rug out from under the feet of the jahiliyyah." 27 00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:47,439 They justify all of this by claiming wisdom and consideration of reality and surrounding circumstances. 28 00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:52,569 Yet, the Almighty and Majestic said to His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: 29 00:02:52,569 --> 00:02:59,569 “And (O Muhammad) follow that which is inspired in thee, and forbear until Allah give judgment. And He is the Best of Judges.” (10:109) 30 00:02:59,569 --> 00:03:06,569 And the Almighty and Majestic said: "So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful disbeliever." 31 00:03:06,569 --> 00:03:11,569 And the Almighty and Majestic said: "So be patient; indeed, the promise of Allah is truth." 32 00:03:11,569 --> 00:03:16,699 “So have patience (O Muhammad)! Allah's promise is the very truth, and let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient.” (30:60) 33 00:03:16,699 --> 00:03:22,699 When the proponents of democracy and entering into alliances with the enemies of the religion were confronted, 34 00:03:22,699 --> 00:03:29,699 they began searching the Sharia for dubious evidence to justify their actions, 35 00:03:29,699 --> 00:03:36,699 such as citing the Prophet's, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, alliance with the tribe of Khuza'ah while they were polytheists, 36 00:03:36,699 --> 00:03:44,699 or his alliance in the document he wrote upon his arrival in Medina with the Jews for mutual defense. 37 00:03:44,699 --> 00:03:50,699 They also cited Joseph, peace be upon him, taking charge of the storehouses of wealth in the government of the King of Egypt, 38 00:03:50,699 --> 00:03:55,699 which was a disbelieving government, and he even became a high-ranking official within it. 39 00:03:55,699 --> 00:04:03,729 All of these pieces of evidence are fallacious and unsuitable for argumentation because the contexts are completely different. 40 00:04:03,729 --> 00:04:10,729 In the cases they cited, the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was the leader whose command was obeyed. 41 00:04:10,729 --> 00:04:17,730 Those who allied with him from among the Jews or polytheists were under his command, and he was the stronger party. 42 00:04:17,730 --> 00:04:23,730 Whereas those who form alliances with them today do so from a position of weakness, and the same applies to the case of Joseph, peace be upon him. 43 00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:27,730 For he was the one who commanded, forbade, and held authority. 44 00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:31,759 Whereas in the contemporary situations they cite, 45 00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:36,759 the strong party consists of the tyrants and the disbelieving regimes, 46 00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:42,759 while the Islamists are the weak party that possesses neither command nor prohibition. 47 00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:47,759 Thus, the analogy here is corrupt and lacks its fundamental pillars.
